"Ahh, I see." Y/n nodded as she gazed blankly at her classmate, making them insecure. "I guess getting enrolled late is kind of a bummer." She sighed as they laughed. "It's alright! You seem to be learning quickly, therefore you must be really smart!"

"Yeah...Ahem, excuse me. I'll just use the bathroom, do you mind?" She asks, hesitantly, as they nod, "Go on! It's free time after all."

Y/n rushes away and pants as she exits from behind the school, her back against the wall, her gaze strained, and she falls to her knees."It's been years...I can't fit it like I used to." She continued to murmur until she felt a hand touch her head and glanced up.

"You're looking miserable, that's not a usual look for ya!" She shrugged her shoulders and frowned in response to Kou's exclamation as he sat next to her. "It kind of seems like déjà vu for me to be in my second year again." She replied. "However, my mission to report on Teru is nowhere to be located."

"Big Brother is really friendly, I think you'd get along!" Kou describes trying to comfort the apparition as she averted her eyes shamefully and gazed mindlessly. "I think you're just as naive as Yashiro." He jerked his shoulders as he softly hit her shoulder.

"When you're a supernatural...you're viewed as an evil spirit." She states, "But, you aren't all that bad, right?" He says.

"Uhh... My powers back then involved paranormal activity and such at the Occult Club since they typically summoned me. I am aware of how perplexing it is to be out here while attempting to pass for a normal individual. Now that I'm the custodian, my job isn't..." She uncomfortably rubs her neck before hiding her face in her knees. "Normal?"

"Yes. It's not normal, and it doesn't seem right, even if my death was not a suicide. The fact that Yashiro asked if I needed anything more to do, that's the only duty I can perform... Without being instructed to be indecisive, I am defenseless." Kou nodded in sympathy as she persisted, attempting to make sense of her flimsy feelings when she looked up and noticed a man looming over them.

"Hey, Kou," Teru remarks abruptly as Y/n jolts from her posture while remaining firm, he tilts his head to get a good look at the female before lightly chuckling. "Oh, you're from my class. Aren't you?" He asks.

Y/n softly nods before standing up and bowing. "My name is...Miyoko Kajiyashiki. It's a pleasure to meet you, Council President." He startled at her words and bent down, his brow furrowed. "Sorry, I don't think I stated that I was the President of the Student Council."

'...Dammit. That's right.' She muttered in thought.

Y/n grinned before going into detail. "My first-year friend, Yashiro, informed me about the council president and vice president. Without knowing who is in charge of what around here, I wouldn't be a good student, would I?" Teru gives her a downward glance before turning to gaze at Kou and then smiling sweetly. "Ah. Yashiro? Yes. She's a nice girl."

'That look on his face just now...'

"Hey, Kou? Would you mind showing me around a bit more?" She inquires, as Kou gives her an instant glance before nodding. "U-Uh, yeah! Sure!" Teru looks over his shoulder as the two swiftly walk away, Teru watches their forms disappear from behind the wall.

"That girl just now, indeed, she isn't like the others."

"Your brother may be aware of the fact that I am not a normal student." Y/n started as Yashiro shrieked, "A-Already?!" Y/n breathed out, her finger moving across her lips, her eyes narrowing. "This is a very difficult situation."

"Ehhh- Yeah. That's not really good."

"He's already tried exorcising Hanako, he's already left me to do the job! If he finds you out and corners you, who knows what?!" Kou panics as she shook her head, "Hmm...I am a custodian, and while my skills are restricted, it is not practicable to deflect an exorcist's power, which is the most likely scenario if things grow any worse than they are."
