I Don't Run An Orphanage!

Chapter 78

Halloween Part 2
Ran Damuo hated Halloween.

Every year, brats would come up to his door, in cheap store-bought costumes, and interrupt whatever he happened to be doing at the time.

So he was in a pretty bad mood when he was just sitting on his sofa, watching T.V. when the doorbell rang.

"Ugh!" Ran groaned, as he got up and grabbed the bowl of candy sitting next to him.

It wasn't like he could ignore them. His wife always got on his case if he ignored even a single trick or treater.

And she always knew.

Ran went up to his door and opened it.

And boy this was not what he was expecting.

There were five little girls and one teenager outside his door.

Now that part wasn't the unexpected part. The teenager was probably just one of these kid's older brother, who was forced into chaperoning their little sister and her friends.

It was their appearances that were off-putting.

The first thing he noticed was the girl whose bottom half was a spider.

Now, Ran wasn't a quirkist. He thought people who judged others based on something they couldn't control were scum.

That being said, he was, like many, arachnophobic, so seeing this girl scared the shit out of him at first.

However knowing that this was wrong, Ran quickly focused on her upper half, which actually was easier than you'd think because the costume she was wearing, some kind of spider-themed shrine maiden, was both creative, and rather pretty.

So if the goal was to make a costume so good it took people's attention off her spider body, then he mentally applauded the tailor who made this.

There was also a girl that was dressed as Link. That wasn't very notable in it of itself, what was that she was shaking in terror. Seriously, someone help this young girl.

The other one that really boggled his mind was the teenager, who was wearing a Pinhead from Hellraiser costume. How did this kid even know about that character, it's so old.

All the other girls were less mind-blowing. Two seemed to be dressed up as some kind of anime characters, and one was dressed up as a unicorn.

"Trick or Treat!" Yelled all the kids except the one dressed as Link.

Wait a minute.

Ran looked at the little blonde girl.

That was a male voice coming from that one...you what. He wasn't gonna think about it. Maybe they just had a deeper voice, or maybe they were a young crossdresser, who was he to judge?

"T-T-T-T-T-Tri-Tri-Trick-" The one in the Link costume was struggling hard to try and say trick or treat.

"Uh...is she gonna be ok?" Ran asked the teen.

"It's her first time." The teen explained.

"First time trick or treating?" Ran asked.

The teen winced. "...That...amongst other things."

Now, what the hell did that mean?

"Come on you can do this." The unicorn girl encouraged the shy one.

"You're the hero! You can't back down now!" The black-haired anime girl added.

"You can do it." Said the blonde girl who Ran was half convinced was a boy.
