Ghost School

Special Episode 7: Iruki The Spirit Exterminator 3 (Vice-Chairman of the Spirit Exterminator Organization)

*

**

35 Years ago, there was a massive spirit hunt somewhere said to be a very haunted place.

This hunt provokes the emotions of the evil spirits and counterattacks the humans.

Spirits in that haunted place are no joke. Not only spirit hunters, but normal humans were also affected.

In the evening when the hunt was carried out, came a very strong wind crashing into the houses of the people around. Heavy rain accompanied by thunderous lightning also appeared.

As a result of strong winds and heavy rain, many houses are classified as simple down so collapsed in the wind. The tree was struck by lightning and hit the house of the people. Many of the victims were injured, even died in this incident.

It was all because of the anger of the evil spirit that caused the disaster around him.

One of the victims in this incident was Yuko.

Yuko is just a commoner living on the outskirts with her parents. This year he will be 6 years old.

Yet... At a very young age, he was orphaned by an incident that happened that night.

Little Yuko is found by the spirit hunters who survived when Yuko is being chased by a lower level evil spirit.

The spirit hunters realize that Yuko can see ghosts as well as orphans. He was eventually brought home with the spirit hunters.

As gratitude for being saved and treated well at the spirit hunter's headquarters, Yuko is determined to give up her life to eradicate the spirits, as well as to avoid anyone else experiencing anything like her.

Yuko studied hard.

Until at the age of adolescence, Yuko has been active in spirit hunting.

He is nicknamed 'Genius' because at the age of 20 years has been many sealing spirits in various missions that are usually done by professionals.

Incidentally, the leader has a son who is 5 years older than Yuko. The leader wants to match up his son with Yuko, so that his son and Yuko will continue the spirit hunting organization.

"Yuko, you're so great and have so much power. It's a pity that you just wither away. How about getting engaged to my son? You and him will be the perfect partner and leader for this organization in the future"

"Good, Master"

Yuko came out of the leader's room and met her friend.

"Master called you because of what?" Ask a friend

"I will be betrothed to your son"

"You take it?"

"Yes"

"You want to just like that? You guys haven't even met before?!" Ask his friend surprised

"For the sake of organization, I don't have a problem with all of that even if I'm told to kill my own feelings"

"You talk like that even makes you look like you've killed your feelings" murmured his friend.

"..."

Yuko is currently only 16 years old. It still takes another 1 year until he is officially considered an adult and can get engaged. Yuko is also still attending 2nd grade High School, so the engagement will be held after she graduates.

Yuko, who is innocent and does not know the word 'love', agrees to her engagement with a man she does not know. It's all he does for the leader. For the continuity of the organization. It is also for people not to be disturbed by the spirit.

Until one day...

Cras!! Trang!! Trang!!

There is a fierce battle between Yuko's group of hunters and a group of spirits.

The group of hunters that only consisted of 3 people was now surrounded by dozens of middle-tier spirits.

No need to take a long time, the group of hunters is now cornered by the spirits.

"God! We're lucky to have only met 1 group of spirit hunters"

"If it looks like they're core members, but they must still be overwhelmed against the many of us"

"We should celebrate! We're going to kill an influential spirit hunter!"

The spirits laughed happily at the group of spirit hunters that were now depressed.

"Damn!! They're too many!!"

"Our communications equipment connected to the headquarters have all been damaged by this fight. We won't be able to win"

"Can't! Chief, I will return to headquarters to call for help. As long as it please hold those spirits!!" Yuko

The chairman looked reluctant. But he knew it was the best way right now. Forced, he agrees to Yuko's proposal.

"Yes. We'll help you hold them. Quickly get back here"

"All right!!"

The two Yuko colleagues put up seals so that the spirits could not get out of the area, and could let Yuko leave without worrying about any spirits following.

"Go quickly, Yuko!! Our lives depend on you!!" Shouted the chairman

Without further ado Yuko left from there. Yet...

"Where to?"

"Spirit?!"

There were 5 spirits that had apparently managed to escape the seal of the area.

"Call for help? We won't let it!"

"No!! At a time like this why..." Thought Yuko was frustrated

"Focused. Chief relying. I can't let her down!"

With the rest of the strength present, Yuko fought the five spirits while going towards the headquarters.

After that fight, Yuko managed to eliminate the five spirits. But it resulted in Yuko's strength being drained and her body being scarred. He can't walk anymore.

"Little bit... A little more to the base. Just a little more..."

Yuko's eyes began to fade and her vision became blurry. Eventually he was found by someone.

"Hey, are you okay?!"

"Who?" Thought Yuko and slowly turned her head to look at the person

"You're full of wounds. Did you meet the thugs earlier? I'll help you to the hospital"

Appears a haired man and eyes of milk brown color. With her panicked face she immediately held Yuko away.

"No... Don't go to the hospital... The office... Quickly take me to the office at the crossroads there..."

".... But---"

"Take me there!!" Yuko Shouted

Finally the man obeyed Yuko's will.

After arriving at the headquarters, Yuko immediately told the people to help her two comrades who were struggling.

"Electrical wiring in the house is broken... So then... I decided to go to street no.12 and find a shop that sells a lot of higanbana flowers" Yuko said, with her index and middle fingers of her right hand forming the letter V that was joined to her left palm.

It was the code from Yuko. In the headquarters itself, Yuko's hand code symbolizes requests for help.

"Our communication tools are all broken. There are many spirits on the road no.12. Help the others!!" That's what Yuko wanted to say

And thankfully everyone received Yuko's code well.

Eventually Yuko is treated for being severely injured, and the other members get off to help.

"Laki-sama... I remember he was the kid from the next class. I should thank you..."

But Yuko's consciousness had already disappeared first.

The next day, at school...

Geck, tok...

"Pulse... Excuse me..." Yuko Mumbles

Everyone in the class was shocked, seeing the notoriously quiet and cold Yuko from class 11-A coming to class 11-B.

"Yes... Why?"

"I want to see someone..."

Yuko looked at everyone in the class, and found the man who helped her yesterday.

The man realizes that the woman is Yuko. He immediately ran to Yuko in front of the door.

"You were yesterday, right? Are you all right?"

"Yes, it's okay now. I have something to talk to you about, but..." Yuko murmured and glanced at the people around her who were filled with curious gazes.

They also went to a quiet place to talk.

"That was yesterday, thank you. You saved my life"

"Also my partner's life" Yuko thought

"It's okay. By the way, I don't know what your name is"

The man held out his hand and shook his hand.

"I'm Yasa Raito. Your name?"

"... Yuko..." He said and welcomed Raito's hand

That was the beginning of their love story.

Raito, a kind and gentle man is also competent in every job. Then Yuko, cold and stiff woman to anyone. Both are unique combinations, which combine two different types of personalities.

As time went on, they were comfortable with each other. Until finally they are nearing high school graduation.

yuko's initial plan to be betrothed to the son of the organization's leader will begin to be prepared.

"Yuko, you're 17 and you're done. Once you finish school, we'll have the engagement, and you'll be married to my son shortly after"

"..."

"Sorry, Sir. Now I've changed my mind. I don't want to be engaged to your son"

The event to be prepared is now ruined.The bride-to-be suddenly cancels her engagement.

Many disputes resulted from the annulment of this engagement, as this concerned the organization's next leader.

Someone forced Yuko to continue the match, because everything was prepared. There are also those who defend Yuko by saying Yuko also has the right to choose her life.

A few days before school graduation, Raito declares his love for Yuko. At that very moment, Yuko told Raito about her condition.

"I... Don't know, Raito. I will be betrothed to the biological son of my guardian. As you know, I'm an orphan with no relatives"

"...."

"Let's go with me, Yuko. The Yasa family is enough to protect you"

Yuko shook her head.

"It's more complicated, Raito. You can't use reason in my situation"

"Why? What's going on?"

"It's okay. I didn't expect much from Raito either" Yuko thought

Yuko was honest with Raito about him who has special abilities.

However, instead of staying away and thinking Yuko is strange, Raito even closer and believes

"It must have been hard for you all along. I'm not going away from you. Come with me, Yuko"

"Master. I have people I love. And I want to marry him. Because of that, I beg you to let me be with him"

"No! This engagement was planned for a long time. It can be cancelled!"

That was the answer Yuko got.

Yuko continued to persuade, but there was no result. At last...

"Let's go, Yuko!"

"Yes"

1 Day before the engagement, Yuko leaves with Raito at night.

Once you realize Yuko is not there, people immediately look for her everywhere, but never find her.

That is because Yuko is protected on behalf of the Yasa family of Raito who are the successors of the Yasa family.

After 2 years Yuko took refuge, they finally officially married. And 1 year later, Yuko gave birth to their child.

The girl who is very similar to Yuko until she looks like a small version of Yuko.

Not just physical. But Yuko's ability also declines with her daughter.

Raito learns his daughter has special powers as well. But he accepted it with a chest.

The family ended up living a happy life forever.

Unfortunately, it's not that easy...

At the age of her 4-year-old daughter, Yuko and her daughter are found by the organization and taken forcibly.

The leader of the organization was furious at Yuko.

"Based on a brat!! You just left on engagement night. Once found, you've brought the child next to you!!"

"Easy! No matter if he was married or not, what matters now is that he was found. Quickly title Yuko's marriage to my son!"

Yuko and her daughter are locked up so they can't leave. Then the next night the wedding of Yuko and the leader's son was carried out in a hurry.

At the wedding ceremony, the leader demoted his position to his son, and to Yuko as a representative.

The organization knows, it turns out that Yuko's son has the ability as well. Because of his interest, the former leader specifically provides education to Yuko's son.

But unfortunately... That's not education. But child torture.

1 month after the forced marriage, Yuko conceives the son of the new leader of the organization. After that Yuko was not allowed to meet with her daughter for reasons being educated.

Yuko becomes stressed due to mental stress during pregnancy, plus she feels very guilty to Raito.

Yuko's torment did not come.

As soon as she gave birth to her second child, her first daughter died at a young age from being taken on a hunting mission by a former leader.

Yuko is fed up, and decides to return to Raito.

Yuko made a fuss at the main door, then ran away from the house from the back door.

She went to the Yasa family home with the baby she gave birth to a few months ago.

As soon as she arrived, Yuko cried in a jolt in front of Raito while continuing to apologize.

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Raito... L'm... I was forced to marry that man until this child was born. Then... Hix... Our kids... Her... Already died... Hiks..."

Raito was not angry at all. He hugged Yuko gently.

"No. It's also my fault for not protecting you well. Up next... I'll take care of you properly. I'm sorry, Yuko..."

Although not his son, Raito takes good care of Yuko's second daughter like his own.

Moreover, the child's hair color that was similar to Raito made him easily considered a child of the Yasa family.

"That child I will register as the daughter of the Yasa family"

"But... He's not your son..."

"Your son is my son too. Just chill. The waiters at the house knew you were on vacation for 1 year when you disappeared. No one's gonna know that kid doesn't have my blood"

The boy officially entered the Yasa family.

And 1 year later, Iruki was born.

Yuko is happy with Raito. But the shadow of the memory of her being taken forcibly to marry, as well as her first daughter who died, continues to haunt her mind.

Yuko lives with fear of that dark memory.

Till... At the age of 3 years Iruki, Yuko died from prolonged depression.

Back to now...

"That's how... The story..."

"I personally am a person who opposes the marriage of the leader and vice-leader. That's why I told you"

Iruki was silent, glancing back at the photo in front of her.

"The person in the photo... Mother... and my first brother? Then the brother who's been living with me all this time..." Iruki muttered

"...Yeah..." The man hesitated

"That kid... The kid in the picture told me to be the exterminator. So he's my brother?"

The uncle was shocked to hear it.

"It turns out so. So your brother came down to earth to give you a warning"

"So... What are you gonna do now, son?"

"...."

"As your sister says. I'll be a spirit exterminator. And avenge my family!"

"I will exterminate the spirits, also give a calculation with this organization that has made mother tormented!"

The man smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes! Grow well and make this organization better. I'm waiting for you, son"

"I will guide you directly. Look, I'm the core team in this organization. My ability cannot be underestimated" he said confidently

The man continued to take Iruki around. And lastly, they came to the training ground for teenagers.

There, the man sets up a new group for Iruki, who consists of himself, with a man and woman of his age (members of his group until adulthood, also they both want to eliminate Izumi)

*

The days he has gone through as a professional spirit exterminator.

But Iruki was not satisfied with that. He wants more. Even more until it reaches the peak point and give a reply to the person who had made his mother die.

At the age of Iruki who was just about 18 years old, he met the leader of the organization directly and made a statement.

"I'm Yasa Iruki, son of Yuko, your wife"

"According to organizational rules, leadership is provided through lineage. Therefore, I asked for my rights as a descendant of Yuko"

"I want to be a leader!"

Surely it's not that easy.

"You may be Yuko's son. But you're not my son!"

"You have no children. Your only daughter died years ago of a spirit. Besides, even if he lives, he can't inherit this organization because he doesn't have the power"

"In addition, although not from you, but I can still get a position from my mother who is the vice-leader"

"Then prove your worth!"

Through years of struggle, Iruki finally becomes a leader at the age of just 22 years, and makes calculations with the person who has hurt his mother.

Along with him who is struggling to have the title of leader... Both of his teammates got married.

"Hahaha, Iruki, when are you getting married following us?~" Tempt the male colleague

"Eeeyy~ If you continue to put on a gloomy face, there will be no woman who wants to be with you, you know" continued teasing the female colleague

"You two... Even at important events can still tease me" Iruki muttered

"Do I need to introduce my girlfriend to you? But maybe they are also afraid of you~" said the woman immediately cut off Iruki's speech

"That's it. I leave" Iruki said flatly and walked away from the two brides who were now shrouded in flowers of happiness.

Amidst he who walked away, he accidentally collided with a woman until the wallet that the woman was holding fell.

"Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't look ahead very well" Iruki said quickly and immediately picked up the woman's wallet.

"No. I'm the one in a hurry" said the woman and took her purse.

Because taking it together, Iruki and the woman's hands were touched. The reflexes of the two were staring at each other's faces.

"Iruki?!" Shouts the woman in disbelief

"You... Natsu?" Iruki muttered

"really. Didn't expect to see you at an event like this. We don't see each other again after graduating from High School. You're getting handsome~"

"When we meet like this, we'll have a reunion. How about going to the cafe after this event?"

"... Not bad either"

"You're still cold like this~"

"Let's go around this show with~ I happen to have no companion either"

The two fellow Iruki who saw Iruki walking with a woman immediately smiled meaningfully.

"Well, whoa. It turned out as fast as this~" muttered the woman

"Secretly Iruki has a special ability to attract the attention of cheerful women" continued the man

10 Years later...

The Spirit Exterminator headquarters

"It is not expected that this organization will change 180 degrees from before after the change of leadership"

"And again... Despite being a leader, but Master is still active in hunting spirits with his colleagues"

"really. I was a little surprised, because the previous leader had always been at the headquarters, not coming down directly to the scene"

"The previous leaders seemed to be afraid of death. He just wanted to tell me"

Along with the people gossiping, Iruki and her partner walked by.

"Good morning, sir!" They screamed they panicked

"Fufu~ Did you hear that earlier, Iruki? Are you satisfied now?" Ask the woman

"I still need to educate my two children"

"That has nothing to do with my question. By the way, how's your wife doing?"

"Just like always"

"I still remember your meeting at our wedding. It turns out that the goddess of love was also with you back then" continued the woman with a small laugh

"Darling, you keep getting on with Iruki. I can be jealous" said the man

"Don't take me in your household business!!" Iruki said firmly, and continued the two who laughed loosely
