Ghost School

Like or Love?

After home....

"Rilen!!" Yui Shouted

"Yes?"

"You must! Got to! Gussy!! Quickly sever that bond with Izumi!! He is dangerous!!!" Yui shouted out emotion

"Yes, I know. Maybe" I replied relaxed

"You are so relaxed!! This must not be allowed, Ririn! We have to find a way!!!" Yui Shouted

"Is there any way I can eliminate it without having to make you die?" Yui muttered

"Can't!! If you eliminate him by any means, I'll die too!" I said fast

"Then, how can you and her not be bound anymore?" Ask Yui

"Don't know. Izumi just said that I needed to help her. But the 'help' in question is still unclear what I need to help" I replied

"He's purposely bound to you!" Yui muttered

"No! As we explained earlier, we could have tied it up because of an accident. At the beginning of our bonded also Izumi looked annoyed at being tied to me"

Yui sighed then looked back at me.

"Then, why didn't Izumi tell you what to help?"

"Izumi also doesn't know. He said that if he knew, he would no longer be in this world and already be in the sky"

"Oh, yeah.... So the point is, 'helping' in question helps her get back to the sky, but it doesn't know how, does it?" Ask Yui

"Yes"

"That's the easy thing, Ririn!! How can you not untie that bond even after more than half a year of being tied up!" Yui Shouted

"Alright, I'll help you get away from Izumi!" Yui spirit said

"That's... Yui..." Mumbles

"Yes?"

"Actually, I still don't want to part with Izumi"

"Why indeed?" Ask Yui

"No... I just feel Izumi is actually very good even though sometimes selfish, emotional and sharp speech. But I know, there's no bad intent from him. He's been nice to me, too"

"Then why? He is a spirit. The spirit should not be in this world. If you think he's good and you want to repay him, by making him go back to heaven, that's the answer. Because the spirits in the world are constantly tormented"

"That's... It was my job to help him return to the sky. There's still 2 and a half years left. We can still think about the plan slowly..." Mumbles

Yui looked at me confused.

"Ririn, regardless of the spirit the sooner the better. You don't have to deal with the spirits and get back to normal life. And Izumi could also escape the torment and return to her original place. With you guys quickly detached from the bond, it can benefit both of you as well"

"And again, if you keep buying time, you can't make it back to the sky during our High School. From the beginning there was no sure clue how to untie you. So we have to try everything. But if we just keep quiet and have only acted in the last 1 year, the possibility of failure is greater"

"Then if you can't get Izumi back into the sky for 3 years, what happens?" Ask Yui

I just kept quiet and didn't answer Yui.

"If you can't do it, you'll die, and Izumi's gone, right?" Ask Yui

"That's a very, very dangerous thing for both of you. There is nothing good if you buy time to break that bond!"

"You.... You said that because you hate Izumi, right, Yui?" Mumbles

"I don't hate him because I know he's good to you. I just don't like him"

"And Ririn, why did you even switch the conversation to that? Why do you want to stay attached to Izumi?" Ask Yui

I just kept quiet and turned my eyes elsewhere, as if I had not heard Yui's words just now.

Yui looked more and more fixedly at my face in silence and brought her head closer to me. It really makes me feel uncomfortable.

"Ririn, don't-don't...."

"You like Izumi?" Ask Yui

"That's impossible!" My answer is quick

"I like it, but my likes are not what you imagine. Love it as a friend! Buddy! Just like I like Yui!" I said fast

"alright. Hope what you say is true" Yui said casually and then pulled her head away from me

"He's not human and he shouldn't be here. A spirit cannot be a human being, but a human being can be a spirit. If you're really in love with her, chances are you'll catch up with her"

I fell silent and began to creep at Yui's last words.

"really. If you fall in love with Izumi, you could kill yourself for her. Especially if Izumi is also in love with you. He was an evil spirit and even its leader. He also terrorized and killed many people in the school. Getting you to die for her isn't hard for Izumi"

"You understand, right? Don't let you love her! Can't!" Yui said firmly

I was silent for a moment and replied Yui.

"Yes, I understand" I muttered

"At least, as long as you bond with her she won't make trouble with you so I can be a little relieved"

"But Yui, how are you?" Much

"What?"

"Didn't you like Kei and Kagusa?" Much

Yui was petrified as soon as she heard my question.

"A... Ahahaha.... I do like it, but not love them, take it easy, hahahaha" Yui said awkwardly

"Yui, you licked your own words" I thought

The next day....

In the woods

"Alright~ Let's start the exercise"

Yui stared fixedly at Izumi.

"By the way, you're a spirit, but how can you know so much about the power of the sixth sense? Even to the point of being able to teach us" Yui asked

"Many factors" Izumi replied briefly.

"Anything?"

"First of all, I'm no stranger to human power because ever since I became a spirit, I've been surrounded by people like you, so I understand a few things about that power"

"Secondly, I've definitely learned it"

"How did you learn it?" Ask Yui

"Of course it's the humans who want to eliminate me. If I just avoid without thinking, I would not understand until now. Among them, there were many that I made guinea pigs to ascertain the results of my thoughts after seeing them"

"Then the third one, your strength is the same as that Yasa Iruki, so I can teach you more"

"Why did you learn our strength, especially my father's? Though the average spirit would rather strengthen themselves" Yui continued asking

"You're asking a lot of questions!" Izumi's mutter

"I want to know too!" I said with sparkling eyes

Izumi sighed.

"What you're saying is that it's average, it doesn't mean whole. I'm not on that average"

"Well, those spirit and spirit exterminators are the 2 great organizations that are sworn enemies. In spirit groups, they mostly choose to strengthen themselves against humans or fellow spirit enemies"

"But I don't. From the very beginning I became a spirit, I was a high-level spirit and I never thought of being the strongest either. So I didn't increase my strength. And I think, instead of increasing the power, it's better to use that time to find out the enemy's secrets"

"The secret of the enemy is the advantages and disadvantages of every kind of power. After knowing and observing it, I began to hypothesize about the possible ways to overcome the attack and put it into practice"

"After knowing the advantages and disadvantages, I began to study them more deeply about the formation of power and others"

"Then, if you ask me why I know Yasa iruki's power, it's because she's the most dangerous, so I'm observing her more than anyone else"

"Then, Yui's father tried to kick you out not once or twice?" Much

"Yes. He was active in trying to expel me in the last 1 year before I stayed in that book. So it happened 2 years ago"

"So so. But why didn't you get rid of you, huh? It's better that you just disappear, so you'll never bother Ririn" Yui muttered

"You know? The words you said just now are even worse than evil spirits!" Izumu said annoyedly

"Already, already. How about we start training now?" Much

We also start our training routine every Saturday and week.
