Ghost School

Lily Park

"Izumi?" Mumbles

Somehow, Izumi looked so angry, that her eyes were now red in color and her hands clenched tightly to the point of trembling.

*

"A... What's the matter, Izumi?" I panicked while looking around

Izumi was silent. His flat mouth slowly smiled sinisterly with his eyes fixed on the twin men and women earlier.

I turned to look at the two people Izumi was looking at, but I did not see any strangeness from them. So I looked back at Izumi with worry.

"Hey, what's up?" I muttered and immediately clasped Izumi's right hand that was still clenching to make her calm down a bit.

Izumi's mouth moved and let out a voice so small that I couldn't hear it clearly. But to be sure, his tone sounded very angry. His gaze also grew sharper and his fist grew stronger until the veins came out on his hand. In addition, on the jaw and neck also out veins. He looks really upset.

"What's wrong with Izumi? I really don't understand this Izumi. What's wrong with those two people? What am I supposed to do?" I think panicked

"Calm down, Izumi. You why? What's wrong with them?" My whisperer

Even though I already said so, Izumi still did not budge. So there's no other way but I have to act more.

"Let's be a little reckless, Yurin. It's for your own good and Izumi's own" I thought

I took off my hand to Izumi, then pointed my hand to both of Izumi's cheeks and brought my face closer to her.

"Izumi, aren't you listening to me?" I asked whispered with my eyes fixed on Izumi's eyes.

Izumi looked a little shocked the moment our eyes met each other.

"Look at my eyes, and get rid of your upset, okay? It's okay, nothing happened. So Izumi don't be upset. How could Izumi show such a face when here I am"

"remember, right? Yesterday Izumi was looking forward to this day, so how could it be destroyed just because of 2 unknown people?"

Izumi fell silent, then her mouth opened slightly.

"Ma. af" Izumi murmured along with her eyeballs back to blue.

"Fuh, thank goodness nothing worse happened" I thought in relief, and took my hand off Izumi's cheek and took my face away from her.

I glanced back at Izumi who was still dumbfounded.

"So, why did you regret seeing them?" Much

"That's..." Izumi muttered and turned her face away from me

I just sighed softly looking at Izumi.

"Maybe the reason was a little unreasonable, a tacky thing or something else, so he hesitated to say it. Okay, just think of it like that" I thought

"Because you're calm, so let's go somewhere else"

*

1 hour later....

"Fyuh, finally finished buying all her needs. Come home" Take me

"Wait, we haven't even had fun" Izumi denied and confronted me

"From the beginning I had no intention of playing with you, so forget about it" I said

"Eeeeeeehhhh??!"

"Hurry, go home. If I stay slow, you know" I said and walked past Izumi who had blocked my path

That is, after the unexpected incident earlier, Izumi returned to normal and there were no other special events anymore.

After exiting the store, Izumi still had not given up on taking me somewhere first before returning home.

"Again!! After this you definitely won't come out again, right? You will soon start school. This is my last chance to play around in this city!!"

Izumi kept begging me. Because I was disturbed he was noisy, and I was also a little pity so we went to the park before heading home.

Lily Park, a fairly large garden, not too far from the stationery shop we went to earlier, that's where I'm going now. The reason, because that is the most beautiful place, opened to the public, and the closest distance to our position now.

After arriving at the park, Izumi immediately ran around the grass garden with a bright smile.

"Izumi really looks like a kid. Or maybe like a bird coming out of a cage?" Thought

I stared inside Izumi who was still running around. Since I kept looking at her, it seemed like Izumi so realized I was watching her.

"What's up, Yurin?" Ask Izumi

"Ah, no. It's nothing" I answered

"By the way, it turns out this place is quieter than my shadow. I thought it would be more crowded because it's still the holiday season, but it's not much here. Plus this park is very spacious, so it feels very lonely" I thought

"Ah, I better buy a drink for me and Izumi. He's playing" I thought

I also went to buy a drink across the park.

After ordering 2 drinks of chocolate cup, now I am waiting for the seller who is making the drink.

"Since this aunt sells here, she must know why this park is deserted, right. Let me ask this aunt" I thought

"Excuse me, I'd like to ask you. Why does this park feel so deserted, huh?" Much

"Ah, actually not long ago there was a little boy who died in the park because he was lost. You know for yourself the garden is quite spacious and a lot of shrubs. He said the boy was separated from his mother while playing, and unfortunately the boy died. Therefore, people are still afraid to go to this park"

"You came here with your girlfriend? Better find somewhere else" said the aunt along with handing over the 2 cups of drinks I ordered.

"Ah, no. I went with my friend... And thank you for the info and advice" I said and received the drink.

I went back into the garden running as I could, for fear that the drink would spill. After seeing the figure of Izumi standing from a distance, I immediately shouted.

"Izumi!!"

Izumi immediately turned her head towards me with her flat face.

"Izumi. we have to get out of here..." I said whimpering

"Why?"

"I got the info when I bought this drink... Said a little boy died in this park not long ago..."

"Oh..."

I looked up at Izumi in surprise.

"You look so relaxed even though you already know someone's dead"

"What happened to this park where the little boy died? I don't care at all"

"Once again like this" I thought

I was so creeped out by Izumi's words. He who cares about nothing and thinks only of himself looks terrible to me.

"No, it's just... It felt uncomfortable occupying a place that had previously been where people breathed their last" I muttered

"You're still afraid of something like this?" Ask Izumi

"It's different! All this time all I've met was a ghost, whereas this, there's still traces of the little boy's body. Besides, it's rude of us to laugh in the dead"

"I don't care about it" Izumi said cuek and turned her face away from me.

"Kakak~"

Suddenly a little boy appeared behind a tree beside me and Izumi. A short-haired girl with cream and brown eyes who looks cute with a tufted yellow dress she wears. The child is about 5 or 6 years old.

I was shocked to see the boy.

"This little boy.... A ghost! Could this child be the child who died?" Thought

While I was still shocked by the appearance of the little boy, Izumi first approached the little boy and crouched down before him.

"Hey, why are you here?" Izumi asked gently as she stroked the little boy's head

"Kakak~ Let's play with Shuri!~" said the little boy cheerfully.

I approached the little boy and squatted in front of him with Izumi.

"So your name is Shuri? What a beautiful name" I said

"Iya~ Because Mother gave me the name~"

"But... I don't know why I took so long to get Shuri home. But it's okay~ Mom must have come to pick up Shuri, so Shuri wants to play first~"

"So it's true this boy...." Thought concerned.

"What are you going to do, Izumi? Earlier you said you didn't care about this child" I thought and glanced at Izumi

Izumi just stared flatly at the face of the little boy named Shuri. And as usual, I can't guess what Izumi is thinking right now.

Shortly after, Izumi stood up and held Shuri's hand.

"Shuri wants to play, right. So let's play with brother" Izumi said

Shuri's eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.

"Ya~ Let's play~" Shuri said cheerfully

"A, Izumi. Here's the drink, I buy you" I said and extended my right hand holding a cup.

Izumi received the drink I gave her, but Izumi did not drink it and just looked at it.

"What's up, Izumi? You don't like chocolate?" Much

"I like it, but..."

"Can I give it to Shuri?" Ask Izumi

"Well??!" I'm shocked

Izumi who previously did not care about Shuri suddenly became very considerate of him??

"Yes, it's okay. But... How's yours?" Much

"I'm fine even if I don't drink it" Izumi said, then gave the drink to Shuri.

"Waaah! Thank you, brother!"

And just as Izumi told Shuri, Izumi actually invited Shuri to play, just like Shuri was Izumi's own younger brother.

"It's the first time I've seen Izumi like this. All this time I've never seen Izumi look familiar with spirits. In fact, usually Izumi often quarrel with the spirits. But why is Izumi suddenly like this?" Thought

"If this is only because Izumi likes children, Izumi should also behave like this to Hana and Niki, but in fact Izumi even always quarrels with Niki"

"What are you really thinking, Izumi?" Thought
