“You should go with Shiina,” Megumi said. He was worried that he would buy the haunted building by himself and told him to bring Shiina along.
Haru and Shiina go together to visit the property agent who manages the haunted building that he was heading to for a while.
Kosaka and Iwasawa are in his cafe waiting for people from the music store to modify his underground into a music studio.
Haru looked at her watch and it was almost time for her appointment. He decided to meet the property agent during the day because ghosts would be at their weakest point when the sun was shining brightly.
In other words, he should come in the afternoon.
He did not really want to come at night and the property agent also did not want to accompany him to visit the place.
“Is the place full of ghosts?” Shiina asked. He had hidden shuriken, swords, and many weapons in his body.
“I may not be sure yet, but I have to see it first,” Haru said. He wanted to have a vehicle but he didn't have a SIM. He wondered if he could get it from the back door or something.
The office of a real estate agent is not too far away but also not too close.
Haru meets the agent and briefly talks about the haunted building. The man had advised her not to buy it but he had not forced her to follow him either. According to him, as long as the building was sold then it did not matter whether the buyer decided to follow his advice or not, it did not matter to him.
The man was sure Haru would return after he saw the building once. He was a little tired when he thought many people had come to ask him to visit the place but decided to cancel the purchase of the building.
That was why the man made the business regardless of whether the buyer decided to buy the building or not, they needed to pay 10,000 yen just to ask him to visit the place. Not much money, but he did not do much either.
Haru was getting curious about the building. He had asked for the photo but the man did not have it because the photo would become blurry or the camera would be damaged when they took the picture of the building. There were also many strange things that happened when they entered the haunted building.
Haru and Shiina listen to the property agent's story about the haunted building. They had heard it from Yuri but it was not as detailed as the property agent who ran the building.
The two find out that their property agent's name is Suzuki. They are not really interested in his first name because people in this country do not call people by their first name until they are close to each other.
“In fact, my father also managed that building,” Suzuki said.
“So why is your family managing it?” ask Haru.
“The owner of the building died when the building was built on that land, the whole family decided to sell the building because the tax inheritance was too high for them, the whole family decided to sell the building, they have decided to use our agent to help them sell the building, “ucap suzuki.
“How long has the building been built?” Haru asked for confirmation.
“The building was built in the Shouwa Era and I forgot how long it has been but it should be at least 50 years or more,” Suzuki said.
“Yes, there are a lot of people trying to buy that building,” Suzuki said.
“What?”
“Most of them died after buying the building and their relatives decided to sell it again because the inheritance of the building tax was very high,” Suzuki said.
Haru knew that even though the building was very cheap, the taxes themselves were very high.
Relatives of previous owners knew that it was not feasible to maintain such a large building when they did not even use it for business.
“His owner keeps changing at least 15 times,” Suzuki said.
Haru nodded and it was the same as the report he heard from Yuri earlier.
“It has been 10 years someone tried to buy the house,” Suzuki said, and added, “With the internet, there are many urban legends about the building and people decided that it is better not to buy. the place though it is cheap and the location is very good.”
Haru felt that this building would be very interesting to see. He was quite astonished when he heard his own land covering an area of 8,758 square meters or more and the price itself was only 70 million yen. He knew that the relatives of the last owner must have been desperate to sell the building as soon as possible and perhaps the story was real because it was impossible to own such a large land in Tokyo at such a low price. She looked at him and felt a bit suspicious, “So, you are the family that manages the place?”
“Ya, from the time of my father until I am now,” Suzuki said. He told her he was in his 40s now.
“So you're okay? Has there been a problem with your family since you handled the building?” ask Haru.
“It's okay because our family has this,” Suzuki said and pulled something out of his shirt.
“What is it?” ask Haru. Although weak, he could feel the energy from the stone in his necklace.
“My grandparents in the past were priests, they worked in nearby temples and they have given their descendants a stone talisman to protect them, he said, they said that they received this stone amulet from the main priest inside the temple Suzuki said and began to tell them about his family's pedigree to him.
Haru and Shiina did not say anything, only listening to her as she interjected to ask a question.
They were on this trip for 20 minutes and they saw the building.
“We have arrived,” Suzuki said as he frowned.
“Haru...” Shiina tightened the grip on her hidden weapon when she saw the building.
Haru knows that Suzuki doesn't lie because the building in front of him actually gives them a creepy and unpleasant feeling.
