Ghost School

The Hospital

1 Week has passed since we entered the 2nd semester school. Everything seemed calm even though my classmates joked about the school ghost. And at that time I tried to get Izumi to refrain from throwing a tantrum.

And do not forget, Kagusa and Izumi every day always exchanged information about Izumi's activities secretly and briefly so that Izumi did not know.

For 1 week of school there were no problems.

Then today, on Sunday morning...

Izumi came to see me after I took a shower. Once he came he immediately grumbled because of the many tasks he had to do.

"Heah... What a pity for that Kagusa! He kept telling me to do the task when I was not done with the task I was doing. Though he knows I'm exhausted but he's not helping at all!!" Izumi Grouse

"Sorry, Izumi. But I seem to know the reason why Kagusa is like that" I thought pity

Yeah, it's because Kagusa and I were only able to discuss when Izumi was busy. Kagusa must have deliberately given Izumi a lot of tasks and not helped her.

"And Kagusa too, hopefully you won't be eliminated by Izumi" I thought

"Enhance, Izumi. You're the leader, so you can't complain about your job"

"Kagusa, I'll help you a little" I thought

"Stay away... It feels so exhausting. After leaving here as well I still have to do endless other tasks. If I was human, I might have been sick from exhaustion" Izumi muttered and laid her body on my bed with her eyes closed.

I also remembered something.

"By the way, Izumi, how's your mom? Is your mother still sick?" Much

Izumi opened her eyes and glanced at me.

Izumi was silent for a while before finally answering my question.

"Yes, my mother is still sick and in the hospital. But I've been through a crisis, so it's okay"

"When did your mother get sick?" Much

"Some time after my father died" Izumi replied casually

"Izumi once said that her father died when Izumi was a child. Then if calculated age Izumi was 19 to 20 years. It means his mother's been sick for over 10 years" I thought

"Aaah, therefore Izumi looks relaxed. She was used to her mother's current condition" I thought

I glanced towards Izumi. He looked indifferent and did not show any expression at all after saying such a miserable thing.

"Iwazu..." Mumbles

"Yes?"

"Can I see your mother?" Much

Izumi was speechless with a confused expression.

"For what?" Ask

"I haven't seen a aunt in a long time. I am also happy today"

Izumi fell silent again. This time he thought with a serious expression.

"You can't possibly forget when we went to the hospital, right? It's possible that there's a hospital spirit that's as intrusive as that time" Izumi said

"I'll go with Izumi, the strong leader. You'll protect me, too, right?" I'm sure

Izumi immediately smiled and laughed. Izumi got up and sat down next to me.

"alright. Don't let you regret it afterwards"

1 Hour later, I was ready to go to the hospital. But before that, I have to tell Yui first so she doesn't worry.

"Yui" Call me

"Oh, where are you going?" Yui asked with her eyes fixed from head to toe

"Um, meet my friend's sick mother"

"Friends? Who?" Ask Yui

"You don't know him, so it's free even if I tell you. Already, yes, I'm going"

"Rilen!!"

I just left immediately to avoid Yui asking any more.

"I'm not lying, anyway. It's true that I met my friend's mother. Well, even though the friend I'm referring to isn't human" I thought

I walked into a deserted alley and Izumi instantly appeared before me.

Izumi immediately raised both of her hands with a scared expression mixed in worry.

"That's... Because the distance from here to the hospital is quite far, so... As before, holding hands is not enough..." Izumi's mutter

I smiled a little at Izumi's behavior.

"It looks like he knows the consequences if he doesn't ask permission" I thought

"But, since I asked first myself, I won't scold her even if she just hugs me"

"Yes, it's okay for just a few seconds"

"Sorry, and after this don't hit me..." Izumi muttered who was still hesitating

"Yes, yeah. Get out of here, you wanna buy some time?" Much

"alright. You promised, yeah"

Izumi's hand immediately embraced my small body, and we immediately moved to another place as soon as I blinked.

"It's..."

I see the neighborhood around me.

"Why in the grave again??!" I screamed in shock

"Yeah, there's no other quiet place than here. What can I do. Already yes, I will wait for you in Mama's nursery" Izumi said and just disappeared

"Izumiiii!!" Shouted

"Aaah, so because of this she apologized earlier" I thought

I also walked out of the cemetery with a feeling of annoyance because again left in a creepy place like this.

This was the second time I had come to the hospital, but a nurse could recognize me as soon as I saw me.

"You were the one who met the mother from room 035, right" asked a nun.

"Ah, that time I asked this nurse when I wanted to go into Izumi's mother's ward" I thought

"Goodoo. The mother looked lonely because no one was visiting her"

*

After a little chat with the nurse, I went into Izumi's mother's ward with my hand carrying a bouquet of flowers and fruit.

"You're coming again, Yurin" Izumi's mother said cheerfully

"Yes, aunt" I answered

Again as before, Izumi stood beside the window with her hands folded in front of her chest and her back leaning against the wall. This time, however, his expression was ordinary.

I pretended not to see Izumi and approached Izumi's mother Liliana's bed.

"How's aunt? Oh yeah, it's a bouquet of flowers for aunty"

"thank you. Auntie is better than ever"

"What about your school?"

"My school is fine right now, nothing bad"

"Goodoo. By the way, how's 'him'? 'he' hasn't seen me yet"

I jerked.

"Um, seniors are now very busy. And it also seemed that he couldn't come anymore because of his busyness"

"busy? What'd he do?"

"A... I heard, 'he' leads a pretty big organization. That's why he always doesn't have free time"

"Well, that's great! Even so, I still hope that he suddenly comes to surprise me"

"Yes. It might happen"

*

About 10 minutes after I had a conversation with Izumi's mother, Izumi suddenly walked over to me.

I blinked my eyes as if asking "What's wrong?" on Izumi.

"I went for a while because there was something I had to do. It won't be long" he said

"I nod little to that"

After making sure Izumi was really gone, I also planned to ask about 'she' to Izumi's mother.

"Tante, speaking of seniors, what exactly is my aunt and senior relationship?" Much

"Our relationship?" Ask Izumi's mother back

"Yes. Senior has never discussed that before"

"Hmmm... Our relationship...." Izumi's mother muttered and tried to think.

"Tante Liliana while thinking so very similar to Izumi" I thought amazed at her beautiful look

After a few seconds of thought, Izumi's mother smiled gently and answered my question.

"I honestly don't know what our relationship is either. Somehow, we got close like that"

"Don't know?" I was surprised

"How is... With the senior first? I'm a little curious" I asked a little uneasy

"It used to be 'she' still looks cute with her brown hair and blue eyes. His height was also at that time slightly higher than your body. 'He' was so adorable 5 years ago. Ah, naw. It seems like 6 years"

"What about her appearance now?"

"Seniors... Not much has changed from what aunt said. It's just that he's more mature..." Mumbles

"Brown hair? That's not Izumi. But judging from the time and other traits, it does go to Izumi" I thought

"But if suppose it's Izumi, why doesn't her mother know what their relationship is?" I think confused

"Okay, this is the last question"

"Tante, what's the senior's name" I asked

Izumi's mother was jolted by my sudden and unreasonable question.

"Name? Shouldn't you know his name?"

"Senior has many nicknames. I just want to know which name senior told auntie"

Izumi's mother fell silent with her gaze becoming empty.

A few seconds later, Izumi's mother slowly opened her mouth.

"His name.. is..."

"~~~~"

I couldn't hear Izumi's mother's voice clearly because she said it was too small.

"Um, can aunty repeat it?"

Tok tok....

Izumi's mother and Izumi looked at the door. A nurse appeared with food and medicine.

"Miss Liliana, it's time for lunch and medicine"

"It doesn't seem good that I'm here much longer. Auntie needs a break too" I thought

"Then, I'll go home too, Auntie. Take care of aunt's health and hopefully get well soon"

"Yes. Yurin was also careful on the road"

*

In the hospital there are many ghosts, even more than the school ghost. And somehow, I feel like I'm being noticed by the ghosts of this hospital. They also seemed to step aside from me if their position was in front of me and watching me from a distance.

But even so, I don't pay much attention to them.

After exiting the hospital building, I looked for an alley that looked deserted because I did not want to return to the cemetery area anymore.

"By the way, where did Izumi go, anyway? It wasn't enough that he left me alone in the grave, now that he even abandoned me in a place that was still unfamiliar to me. He said he was only going for a moment" I muttered

"Wah~ Who is this coming?~"

I glanced forward as well, where the source of the voice appeared. A voice that sounds rude and annoying.

From the front of the dark alley, suddenly 3 thugs appeared in front of me.
