"Oh? So, you're the one, Teru talked about being supernatural as well?" Teru stroked Akane's head while Y/n nodded. "Yup. She's going to be following me everywhere now."
"That's a very brief and terrible summary."
She tilts her head to the side as beads of sweat dribble down her temples as Teru taps on his bracelet while glaring menacingly down at Akane as he shrieked and hid behind Y/n. "...Wait, you're the...Clock Keeper was it?" She replies as Teru caught Akane's glance and his eyes widened.
"Wait- WHAT?!" Teru and Y/n shielded their ears before drawing away as she exhaled. "Yes. Miyoko—or Y/n, as I should put it—is undoubtedly a supernatural." He says.
"How are you not exorcized yet?" Akane bluntly states.
"Ugh... Could you not address me as Y/n in public? I wouldn't want those who know I've died to find out." Y/n sighs as Teru tilts his head and his eyes get tight. "Why not?"
"Kokkuri-san...was simply a game, and I'm...the solitary embodiment because my soul was expelled when I died in an assault." Y/n averted her gaze as she brought the clipboard to the desk and began reading the papers that had been clipped on it. "I am largely resistant to exorcist devices because of this necklace, yet not completely because I can still feel the agony on my skin."
"Hmmm. So you're still employing your spiritual energy." Teru hummed as he rummaged in his pocket as Akane and she exchanged glances. Teru takes out a metal tassel hairpin as Akane deadpans at him. "What...? Why are mine glasses again?"
"Are you being stingy right now?" Teru raised a brow as Akane nodded, "Yes. I very much am." Teru pushed Y/hair n's aside as he pinned the hairpin in her hair. Aoi handed him one as Teru handed her the mirror, "I made it so you wouldn't see any supernaturals."
"Eh? That means I wouldn't be able to see my friend with this." Y/n complains as Teru sighed, "Then take it off once school's over."
"Honestly...! It must be bad that your boss entrusted you to direct Teru, after all, he is an exorcist. And!— On the fifth day, he promoted you to Secretary!" Akane gestured as Y/n scratched her neck clumsily as she touched the pin and tried to put it in her hair as she sided her face and nodded. "Fine...This will suffice."
"Good. Now then."
Teru dusts his hands as he pulls out a stack of documents, while Akane's eyes widen and his jaw hangs agape, and Y/n observes from a distance before bending over the table and glancing over the paperwork. "We need to carry these to the Teacher's Lounge." He says as the female nods.
"I can carry all of them." Teru and Akane attempted to assist her as she made her claim as she slid the documents into her hands. Teru and Akane only gazed at her in shock as she maintained her balance and a steady stance. "T-That's like at least twenty pounds! Are you sure?" She nodded as Akane expressed his concern.
"No, I'll take the other half. Take the papers away from her, Akane. We have this because she needs to address some of the school activities with us." Teru persists as he takes half of the papers from her, while Akane laments and takes the remaining papers. Y/n stares at the book of them before sighing as she takes the clipboard and flips through the papers.
She opens the door as Akane and Teru carry the papers, Akane blubbering faintly. "Alright. Discuss the school events, Miyoko." Teru claims as she nodded.
"We're supposed to meet with the Administrative Office early on Monday, Akane's been assigned to keep an eye on his seniors' grades because there's been some problem, Teru's been told to attend some meetings with the Principal for some assistance... Additionally, the school overnight is quickly approaching, and—" Teru interrupts Y/n by clicking his tongue while he looks up ahead.
