"You're asking how we got your address?" a ghost in a fancy white uniform asked. He looked at his fellow ghosts, who frantically shook their heads. Sighing, he looked back at Yuu and Grim.

"Don't worry about it. Now get out before we do it for you! This mansion is reserved for the princess' reception hall!"

The Ramshackle ghosts, who had just arrived at the commotion, protested. "Hey, wait, let's not fight-"

"You three be quiet!" one of the uniform wearing ghosts snapped as they took ahold of the living dorm residents.

And in a matter of seconds, the two were harshly shoved out of their own dorm.

"GAH! Let us back in! You assholes! This is my house!" Grim yelled at the door as he beat it relentlessly. However, for once, the door stay put.

"Who kicks someone out of their own house? HEY!" Yuu knocked on the window, yet the ghosts pretended not to notice them. "What kind of 'princess reception' are they talking about?"

"Why can't we have nice things?" Grim mumbled, burying his face into his paws. He yanked on Yuu's pant leg. "Cmon Yuu, we're gonna complain to the principal about this!"

Yuu nodded with a stern expression. "He's probably not gonna do shit about it, but okay."

"Don't be so negative, it's worth trying!" Grim swatted at their leg.

They rolled their eyes. "Is it, though?"

But before either of them could argue any further, Yuu felt a sharp, cold chill run up their spine. They froze and looked around the shoddy area. "Did it just get colder, or is it just me?"

Grim shivered. "Agh, just great. The weather just had to be terrible too! We should hurry over to the campus now."

"Hm, you're right. At least we'll be warm."

They started towards the campus. But as they progressed, not only did it get frosty cold, but a blue mist surrounded them as well.

"Okay, what the hell." Yuu squinted through the fog. "Why does the weather have to be inconvenient now?"

"Hm..."

"Grim, what? When did you have such vocal range?"

"Hah? That wasn't me."

"Well, it wasn't me either."

The two stared at each other. Slowly, they put the pieces together. Then the maths mathed.

"Someone's following us, huh."

"Is it that blonde dude with the hat? I swear I see him everywhere."

"Hm, maybe. Hey wait, Didn't we fistfight some students over dessert yesterday? Maybe this is their revenge!"

"We? That was you."

"This isn't the time to be sassy, Yuu! Call them out! They probably want a rematch!"

"Grim, that's how people die."

"What else are we gonna do, run? We can't see anything! There's a chance we might die either way!"

"Shoot, you have a point. But what do you want me to say?"

"I don't know, just something so they know we're aware of them!"

Yuu awkwardly called out into the fog.

"Hey if there's person there ominously stalking us, can you do us a favor and uh, not...do that? We kinda need to go somewhere."
