Hello and welcome to chapter 5 of "I need you now" :D
(This chapter corresponds to the "Misaki Stairs Arc")
Title: "Misaki, the mystery N°2"

Psychological Fact: When you hold the hand of a loved one, you feel pain less keenly and worry less.

The two boys then start to fight each other under the disapproval gaze from Yashiro.
An image of her best friend flashes in her mind as she started to space out.

"I promise I will save you Aoi."

"Wha-?"

The chaotic trio composed of Yashiro the simp daikon girl bean, Kou the cute exorcist that needs to take a chill pill and Hanako the perv but strong ghost that lies 24/24 bean stood right in front of the staircase B. It was the location the mystery N°2's boundary and since this apparition was suspected to be the reason of the missing students the N°7 just couldn't sit here with crossed fingers.

Both Kou and Yashiro look frightened and shocked because of the way too familiar crimson liquid that keeps dropping on the floor, oddly enough the ghost didn't look disturbed in the slightest. He mostly was amused because of the other two reactions.

The sound of it echoes in the desert corridor, making the scene even more spooky.
The fourth stair was slowly being flooded with the liquid, but even if this one was full, the blood stops at the edge of the fourth stair. It just refuses to flood anywhere else.

"The victim's blood at twilight... Is this what she meant?" Yashiro shivers, subconsciously taking a step closer to Hanako. "Aoi..." The student couldn't help but picture her best friend's dismembered corpse lying somewhere above the stairs with her blood dripping here. She breaths in, reassuring herself that they were here to save her and the other students. There was no proof yet that her best friend was already dead.

"I-I'm gonna protect senpai no matter what!" His grip on his staff tighten, Hanako may have sealed it but just having it by his side was enough to reassure him. As long as he had the weapon his ancestors left him he was going to be alright. He glances at Hanako with a frown. "... And I'm going to exorcise this jerk while I'm at it!" Don't tell him I noticed, but he is still salty about what happened on the roof that's why he is so pissed at Hanako.

The apparition stares at the blood in silence.
"So you really did go berserk N°2." The ghost then took a step forward the stairs, making both of the students flinch.

"Okay, you're ready?" He turns his head a little to look at the living human beings behind him. "What was it again? Step on the fourth step?" He wonders out-loud, although he didn't need to have any validation as he already knew the answer about the question.

"Ready aaaaaand one!" He steps on the first step, earning gulps from the humans. They wished they could go later but they knew that the faster they go there the faster they go out of here and possibly see their friends again. They followed the ghost.

"One..." Yashiro counts the steps they take every time.
"Two!" The ghost's cheerful voice was echoing in the students' heads as they followed his movements.
"Three!" Her heart was beating very fast and loudly, she could even sense it beat in all of her beings.
