💮Chapter 四💮

The gang has been thinking of a way to make her snap out of it. They've tried everything but nothing worked. They've decided to go to Tsuchigomori's library to find some answers. "What are you guys doing here?" Tsuchigomori sensei asked not looking away from his book. "Uh...We need help." Nene said awkwardly while moving away to show you who looks dazed af. "Ah, I see. You want to try to find a cure for her. I'm sorry to disappoint but there's no known cure for her." he stared not looking away from the book. "What do you mean there's no cure!" Hanako started to be hysterical and starts to sob. Kou and Nene looked worried at Hanako and her sister.

"Well, there is but no apparition has ever succeeded in curing themselve. If you're so insistent on knowing here's the location of the book." he stated wishing them luck and vanished into the library. They walked a relatively long hallway until they found the shelf that contained the book. It took several minutes before they finally found the book. Once found the book was flipped to the page where the "cure" is. "Eh? What did the book said? We need to find her?" Nene asked while all of them surrounded the book. "Oh, I heard about that!" Kou exclaimed loudly making Tsuchigomori annoyed and suddenly bonk his head. "Ouch! What the heck?" Kou exclaimed rubbing his head that was bonked by the now gone Tsuchigomori. "Anyways, as I was saying. When I was still small, I found a book about souls and apparition. One of the book talked about this."

(a/n this isn't true and I just got an idea for this)

A body without a soul is a human where their soul still exist in the world as an apparition. Once the apparition is exorcist, their human self would obtained a soul. The downside is they won't remember anything from their past.

Humans who never obtained their soul would feel lost and empty. Sometimes those who are soulless couldn't make any relationship, platonically and romantically. To differentiate between a human with a soul and a soulless human is their eyes. Their eyes are a matte dark grey colour.

If one would like to save an apparition, they must kill their human self or

You have 5 days before it's permanent

"But the other option was blurred so I never knew what's the other option is." Kou explained to the group. "So, basically we just need to find her human self. It's should be easy as people have glossy eyes and aren't dark grey." Aito stated as he make sure you didn't wander away as everybody search how to get you back to normal. "Better said than done. You do know that she could be in another country?" Hanako stated sighing closing the book. "Besides we need to kill her once we obtain her and I don't think she would be willing." he continued while putting the book away. "Well, we could start by trying by searching the girl." Aito suggested.

"We should divide tasks to make this easier. Nene and Aito should go and try to find the girl. While, Hanako and I would look after (Y/N)-san and also decipher the other option just in case." Kou suggested in which the others agreed. "We should start tomorrow so we can work with a clear mind."

The next day was a Saturday and there would be  only a few students roaming the halls to do group projects or other reason. Nene, Kou, and Aito are on their way to meet Hanako and start working to help (Y/N). "So, are you guys ready?" Hanako asked the others who nodded. "Well, Nene and I would start by going to the town's archive." Aito explained and said his goodbyes to the rest and go visit the archive with Nene.

"So how is your sister doing?" he asked Hanako. "She's still unconcious because the seal you gave us." he answered. "At least she can rest while we search for a cure. I also brought the book  I told you about and also I found this." Kou said showing him the two books he brought. "What's the other one?" Hanako asked looking at the other book. "Oh, this is my grandfather's sister's journal. While I was searching for something to decipher the other option I found a note in it." he explained showing Hanako the note.

24 March 1952

Today my best friend asked me for help. How could I say no but what she's asking is imposible. I won't allow it. Her request is absurd and unheard off. She asked me to help a ghost. A freaking ghost!

She said she love him. She doesn't even know what love is. I did found a book about it. Maybe I should help her. Yeah, I should.

25 March 1952

Something bad happened. My best friend, she tried to help him but he killed her. He said he never loved her. The pure devastation in her cold dead eyes as she slowly part from the world.

This is all my fault. I shouldn't have helped her. I should've excorcise him from the start. I was going to smudge both of the options completely but  my dad came in and took the book from me.

"Then we should go find her. She has the answers." Hanako said pulling on Kou's arm rushing to find the owner's journal. "Wait, Hanako. She despises apparition ever since her best friend died. It'll be best if I go alone." he responded stopping Hanako. "Besides, we need someone to look after her." He continued before saying his goodbye. "We're going to find the cure. You'll be back to normal." Hanako said determined on bringing back his sister.

Meanwhile~

"Hey, Nene. Did you find anything?" Aito asked her who was still looking at a lineage book. "No, I've been looking at like 3 different family lineage and still nothing." she replied with an exasperated sigh. "Maybe we should take a break. There's a coffee shop nearby." he suggested in which Nene agreed. They put back all of the books and said goodbye to the librarian. As they approach the coffee shop, he saw something. "Isn't that (Y/N)-san?"
