"In the third stall in the girls'
bathroom, on the third floor of the
old building, lives Hanako-san, who
grants a wish to anyone who summons
her... But in exchange, she takes
something precious from them.
To call her, knock three times...
And then say..."

Himana sat in the library, reading a book like usual. While Hanako floated above her, him too reading the book which coincidentally happens to about him. Well, not exactly. It was the similar rumor with the book showing a female Hanako.

"Sensei." The white-haired girl called, observing a cartoonish picture shown to be Hanako-san of the Toilet. A girl with a bob haircut wearing a red skirt was shown. "Hanako-san of the bathroom, are they really a girl?" Himana asked out if nowhere as she turned towards Tsuchigomori.

"Nope! I'm a boy apparition." Hanako answered with a grin, fully knowing the girl wouldn't be able to hear him.

Tsuchigomori on the other hand, let out a sigh. "I don't know Himana, I don't believe in things like that." He answered, his tone lazy as usual.

"Tsuchigomori you're lying~" Hanako sang still floating above her. Bursting into childish laugher afterwards.

"I think Hanako-san is a boy." Himana voiced out as she turned back to the book, missing how Tsuchigomori's eyes widened in surprise. In mid-air, Hanako froze, before slowly turning his head to observe her face, clearly caught by surprise himself.

"Why do you think so?" Tsuchigomori questioned, regaining his composure faster than the floating ghost.

Himana turned her head towards Tsuchigomori, lifting her hand near her face level to point at the ceiling. "Think about it, Hanako-san is bound to the girl's toilet, so they're more likely to be a boy, a perverted one I assume. He made up the rumor just to bring more girls into the toilet... or something like that." Himana's voice was so blunt that it wasn't even funny, leaving both guys dumbfounded.

When they finally processed her words, Tsuchigomori almost laughed, almost. He did let out a chuckle though, clearly amused.

As for the apparition, Hanako felt something break in his chest as he slowly turned to float towards a dark corner of the room, depressed dark purple lines floating all around him. "I'm not a perverted ghost." He mumbled to himself, dejected that a cute girl just accused him of a peeking pervert. Even if she didn't personally know him, his pride and ego received some hard blows.

"That's an interesting view." Tsuchigomori smirked, enjoying the dejected energy coming from a certain ghost. "How did you come to that conclusion again?" He asked with a raised brow.

Himana simply turned back to the book. "That's how it mostly turned out in the Anime's and Manga's I've watched and read." She stated, making Tsuchigomori internally sweat drop. Hanako slowly recovered hearing her reasoning, but still kept his distance as he observed the girl with visible sad beady eyes.
