Have you ever thought even for once that you will become a supernatural after your death?
And especially become the infamous mystery at your own school?
[ contained spoiler of manga ]
With an unamused look was given to the trembling Daikon girl who dared to visit in your own territory inside the tower. Fortunately for her that she couldn't enter your boundary and she did everything according to the rumor.
But here she is. Looking like a statue. She only parted her quivering lips as if wanting to say something but hesitated for a while. You won't call for a while if it was already an hour since she has been standing there.
"How long are you going to stand there without saying a word?"You finally voiced out, watching her flinched and bowed down with a perfect 90° angle.
"O-Oh! I-I'm sorry!"
"What are you scared for? I don't bite but my brother does."
"Eek! Ukiyo-san! I'm here to ask you for an opinion."She stammered with politeness and told everything that she currently has some dilemma and made some slipped on the tongue though you're not really paying attention to it when she went straight to the point.
"Why do you asked me about this?"
"Sorry if I assumed this but since both you and that large mermaid are friendly with each other, but should I accept it?"She mumbled quietly. She knows that you're close with both Mermaid and Hanako but that's the reason why she needs to listen to your opinion. Probably you will—
"Why not?"
Eh? With zero hesitation even?
"Why?!"She shrieked, clearly not satisfied with the answer given.
"Honestly, I could tell you a long list but I'll tell you some, "You raised three fingers with a small grin and she gulped down the lump in her throat. Yes, think about the positive—
"You don't need the imperial blood to become one, no academic requirements, a beautiful look or a perfect body size aren't needed— Yes, it fits you pretty well."
"What do you mean with the third one?!!"
You cracked a laugh, watching her making some daikon noise about herself and her legs and even hair.
"But what I know is . . . "You started, your smile didn't leave your face and forced the girl to gulped down her words to say to her dismay, decided to listen to your words though you might be making fun of her once again.
She heaved a sigh and look at you in the eyes, with you sitting on the chair; that was cleaned by the infamous Teru Minamoto despite he almost makes the place messier and set on fire even and you called Kou to come instead— with her on her feet against the floor surface.
"The Mermaid is a nice supernatural and No. 7 cherish his cleaner. I could only tell you that only."A mild smile replaced your cheeky grin and she didn't make any voice to counter those that you described as facts.
But that still didn't answer her question to the fullest.
"No way . . . "
"By the way, you can't just leave in the middle of things when you are the one who involved yourself in this."You continued more when the smile dropped from your face for a second and she only stared down on the floor at your words.
"Why don't you ask No. 5-sensei?"You suggested with a hum, leaning back all your weight against the chair and she seems pondered about it for a moment,
"You mean Tsuchigomori-sensei?"
You nodded down your head, the smile never leaves your face,
"Yes, after all, he knows Hanako the best after me."

"And I was there when Amane killed Tsukasa."You mumbled to yourself when you watch her running towards the tree between the school buildings from the window of the tower. That's when suddenly the sweet drops of water to quench the soils and then make the pitter-patter sound.
Unlike usual, your focus isn't on the cloud but on the Teru Teru Bozu-looking doll in the size of a normal human, standing in the middle on the roof.
"I didn't know that supernatural before."Your eyes focused on the white fabric covered supernatural to prevent the world from seeing their face.
But for the first time in a while, chills suddenly crawled up to your spine when it snapped their head to face straight to your face directly out of blue. You have a bad feeling but you decided to not bragging it when they suddenly spun their heels around and left the roof.
"What a weird guy."
Wait.
Why are they heading straight to this tower?
Turning around, they're now standing up tall behind you. Staring straight at your face while their face was hidden behind the white fabric and as if blocking your way out.
You suddenly feel a wave of regret.
You regretted you didn't run away earlier.
