Ghost School
Drama Stage for Yurin
*
"So that's it, Miss Yurin today's birthday..." Kei Mumbles
"Yes. That's why I thought of making a surprise for Ririn"
"So, what can we help you with?" Ask Kagusa
"I'll explain your duties at once how the plan flow I made" Ayui said confidently
"So, I want to make Ririn shocked by making Izumi pretend to be held hostage by an evil spirit"
Izumi, Kagusa, and Kei were shocked to hear that.
"What do you want, huh?!" Izumi muttered in anger
"I won't let anything dangerous happen to you!" Denying Kei
"So much~ Seeing the leader being held hostage also seems like a nice sight~" said Kagusa ceria (looking to die)
"Calm down, you guys. It's just pretend. 'pretend', so nothing bad will happen" Ayui said
"Then as a guarantee, I will let myself also pretend to be held hostage with Izumi"
The three of them were silent while staring at each other.
"alright. Then continue the explanation" Izumi said
"Before that, Izumi, did you have any enemies that Ririn knew about?" Ask Ayui
"There was. His name is Maeru and Yurin knows him quite well"
"All right! Now I'll explain your duties"
"Izumi, like I said before, you're going to be a hostage with me, so you just have to wait"
"Kei, your task is to bring a subordinate of yours who is at the top level to work with. Make sure Ririn has never seen that spirit before"
"He's the one who's going to pretend to hold us hostage as Maeru's subordinate"
"Then the last one, Kagusa, your job is to inform you about Izumi and I being held hostage to Ririn after all the preparations are done"
"You understand?"
The three of them nodded.
"Alright~ Let's start the plan!"

15 Minutes after the four of them had a discussion....
"I've brought him" Kei said with an evil spirit in his right.
"An honor can be summoned directly by the commander and face off against the master leader" the spirit said and lowered his head in salute
"Wow, you're fast enough to bring him, my handsome man~" said Ayui cheerfully.
Hearing that, the evil spirit immediately goosebumps, thinking Ayui's life will be over in a moment because it has offended Kei.
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Ayui. I'm just doing my job" Kei said with a slight bow
And the spirit became even more shocked. Not angry, but the commander instead thanked while bowing his body to the humans who had offended him.
Kei glanced towards his men who were still shocked.
"What do you see?" Kei asked and stared intently at the evil spirit
"Ma... I'm sorry, commander!" He shouted and immediately prostrated
"That's enough!" Izumi said firmly
"Back to the original topic. Hey, evil spirits over there!" Call Izumi
The spirit instantly snapped with a trembling body.
"Just work with us" Izumi said
Actually, Izumi said it as usual, but from the perspective of the evil spirit, Izumi's speech and gaze were like a threat. Plus there was his commander who was a loyal subordinate of Izumi here which added to the impression of horror for him.
"Baa... Alrighty! Sa... I will do whatever I'm told!" His screams
"But before that, was the acting good?" Ask Ayui
"Just calm. He was previously a talented young artist who was cast in the famous dramas of his time. He was also the son of a drama club at school and his group won on a city-level stage before becoming an artist"
"alright. Then I'll explain what your job is" Ayui said
Ayui explained to the spirit what he should do.
After hearing Ayui's explanation, the spirit went back to goosebumps.
"Ja... So then... My job is to pretend to take the leader and the lady hostage?" Ask with a pale face
"really"
"Taa... But... That's too much for me... I-i-"
Izumi suddenly interrupted her words.
"So you can't do it?" Ask Izumi
"No! Of course I can do well, master leader!!"
"If until you get caught just acting or injuring sir, Miss Yurin and Miss Ayui, I'll make sure you won't survive" Kei said
"Sa... I will try my best!!" He said with his whole body trembling in fear
"Aduh~ Izumi and Kei too cornered him~ I became a little sorry for him who had been used, plus threatened again like that" said Kagusa
"As expected, good spirits are good even though it is on me that evil spirits~" thought the evil spirit was moved
*
On the border of life and death....
In the castles of the evil spirit's leadership, Izumi, Ayui, Kagusa and the evil spirit are gathering, while Kei returns to work.
"Why should we be here?" Ask Izumi
"If we get kidnapped here, Ririn will believe that we are really being held hostage" Ayui replied
"What about the body you left in the woods?"
"It's okay~ Lagian, time here runs slower than on earth. So at most I'm asleep for 5 minutes at most"
"Then, I'll start tying you up" Ayui said as she reached into something in her bag.
Ayui took out a piece of rope that was quite thick and tied it on both of Izumi's wrists as handcuffs.
"Hm... If it's just one tie, it looks suspicious. Ririn couldn't possibly believe a piece of rope could stop Izumi from moving" Ayui murmured
"Then Izumi, I'll add some more ties" muttered Ayui with a grin
"You! You must have intentionally!" Shouted Izumi
"Apanya~ Our show should be made as good as possible. So you shut up, Izumi~"
"This is the reward for you daring to approach my Ririn! You think I'll just shut up? Although after the show of this drama is over, I won't let go of your bond for a while" Ayui thought in satisfaction
Ayui tied the rope along Izumi's hands, on her body and along her legs.
"What are you doing?! This is too much!!" Shouted Izumi
"Ah, not~ even though this rope includes high-tier spirit weapons, but still its usefulness is only restraining spirit movements alone, it cannot hurt. So I guess this is still less~" Ayui said and returned to grinning.
"I got this from my dad. He said that the rope was of the best quality. So, it looks like it's enough to wrap it around your whole body"
"Your words are strange! You know that rope is the best quality, but you're tying it to me too much!" Shouted Izumi
"Izumi, please shut up~ My ears hurt hearing the vague screams you said" Yui said with a gentle smile
"You--"
Plaque!
Ayui instantly shut Izumi's mouth using 'power sealing paper'.
"You're so noisy, Izumi~ I'll 'accidentally' stick it too hard~"
"It seems that just one 'sealing paper of strength' would not be enough. I'll add a few more~"
Ayui stuck the 2 'strength sealing papers' on the hand ties, 2 on the leg ties, then 1 each on the chest, abdomen, and back. The total of 8 'sealing force papers' was coupled with the one in Izumi's mouth.
"Aaah~ Of course this 'strength sealing paper' is also the best quality because I got it from my father. Just 1 sheet alone could stop the flow of power within the master level spirit body. So this should be enough to hold you"
"...."
Kagusa and the evil spirit were speechless to see Izumi end up like that by a human.
"Leader, your pride is instantly shattered before your subordinates...." Thought Kagusa
"Alright~ Looks like it's enough. Now I'm gonna tie this in my hand. Kagusa, tell Ririn quickly"
"Yes"

*Back to Yurin's point of view
In Yurin's room...
"Yurine!" The screams of Kagusa suddenly appeared
"Why? You look in a hurry" I asked
"Izumi and Ayui!! They were both kidnapped!!" Shouted Kagusa
"Kidnapped?!"
"Really! They were kidnapped by Maeru's subordinates. We couldn't do anything because they asked to meet you!" Shouted Kagusa
"In that case, let's go there quickly!" I screamed worried
Kagusa immediately held both of my hands while chanting a spell. My eyes became blurry.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I moved.
"This place...." Mumbles
"really. This is the border of life and death"
"They just want to see you alone. So I'll take you to their place and go" Kagusa said
"alright. I got it"
*
Shortly after we walked, in front of us there was already a magnificent black castle like a haunted house (indeed it was a haunted house)
"So this is the place?" Much
"Yes. They're inside. So you just need to get in. Then I'll go first"
Kagusa is missing.
"I won't let you get hurt!" Thought
Czech.... Kriyii....
I opened the door and went inside.
