Erza and the others knock on the door of the other house, but this time no one opens.

"Excuse me. there is a package~"

After saying that, the door opened. Again a black shadow appeared in the house. The creature thrusts its hand.

Erza handed the pencil to the creature.

"Is there a Lullin?"

The creature shook its head, then closed the door again.

"No, I have to say there's a package, if it won't open the door." Erza looked at everything.

"It was just a coincidence!" argue Hide.

"Two times, you know."

"Just twice."

"Well, try knocking on the other door."

"okay."

Hide also agreed. He knocked on the door of the house next to him three times.

Tok tok tok tok

"Excuse me...."

There's no answer.

Tok tok tok tok

"Excuse me.. Is there a ghost?"

Tok tok tok tok

"Open woy!"

No one's saying. It could not be opened, because the door was locked.

Erza shook her head while clucking, feeling already victorious from Hide.

"I told you, it won't open if it's just knocking. Now tap again, but by mentioning the keyword."

Hide had to comply.

"Excuse me. There's a package."

That door was open. Standing a black shadow with no left hand or right hand.

"She opened the door, how did she open it?" inner children.

The shadow pressed its head forward, a sign of charging the package they were delivering.

Giana volunteered to give her eraser.

The shadow bowed, gesturing for Giana to place the eraser on the floor.

Giana also according.

"Is there a Lullin inside?" ask Giana afterwards.

The shadow shook, then closed the door again.

The seven of them looked at each other.

"Where's this? Do we have to check all the households in this village? Our goods can run out, you know," said Keiko.

"really. I may only use ************ just after here." Erza sighed.

"Then how?" Giana looked at everything.

"It's a ghost village, right? Why do you think they're all in the house?" ask Hide.

"They're all introverts?" answer Yurina.

"No! Now that it was still daytime, the ghosts might not be able to wander around during the day. They'll probably be on the move when night falls." Hide gave me his theory.

"It makes sense." Rock nodded.

"So we have to wait till night?!" ask Nana.

"It is better that way, than a waste of time and effort by inspecting all the houses one by one. At night, they might be wandering around. We can ask Lullin about them."

Giana opened her phone, already dead. Erza's and the others' phones were still on, but there was no signal. It only shows the time that is still less than two hours to noon.

"Where the hell is this? Can't check the GPS!"

"My mom hasn't returned a message."

"My message is still undelivered."

A few hours without the internet, they already feel tormented.

"You remember the way home, right?" ask Hide.

"Remember, really. I've photographed every corner of the house we passed earlier, just in case you don't get lost. I've also photographed the benchmark house close to the entrance gate."

"Good, then, let's go back."

With Keiko being the leader of the trip, they walked back towards the gate.

The houses that look empty when there is content it really looks creepy. Noon was ever this scary for them.

Not long after, they returned to the starting point. However, what they found was not the gate they entered earlier, but the village of the house that continued to stretch far ahead.

"Keiko, you didn't go the wrong way, did you?" Giana's worried.

"No, this is the right way! Look, I've been photographing the gate, near this one little tree. But...why did the gate turn into a house?"

Erza and the others stared at the photo on Keiko's phone showing the gate right next to the small tree. The position is exactly the same. Small trees, green grasses, garbage cans, unused wells, everything was right around the gate.

When compared to the one before them, all of their positions and positions were indeed exactly the same, except for the gate that had suddenly turned into a house.

"Oi oi, where did the gate go?!" Erza was sweating.

"It looks lost."

"Ehh?? How do we go home?!" Nana panic.

"Mu-maybe the gate moved. Let's just keep moving forward." Keiko tried to think positively.

"Y-yes."

They continued to walk forward, continuing to step non-stop until the time had exceeded noon.

"Jeez... Where's the gate? How big is this village?" Rock shed sweat.

"We keep going, but all we find is houses, shops, houses, shops, fields, rivers, houses, rivers, and houses again. Is the area of this village infinite?" Keiko complained.

"Don't-don't.this is what the person who has entered can't go out anymore. Because the gate disappeared?!" Nana tried to guess.

Erza looked at Hide.

"Oi, Hide! You said the ghosts here are good? Why don't they let us go home?! You said the guy who came in here could come back home... right?"

Erza looked at Hide's suddenly changed expression.

Hide smiled, and then laughed.

"Hide? Who is Hide?"

His form suddenly turned into a half-bodied black shadow.

Erza and the others were shocked.

"We're framed...."

***

Meanwhile, Subarashii High School.

"A week has passed, police and search crews have searched various areas across Japan. There is still no sign of the whereabouts of the 8 missing Subarashii High School students."

Lemon and the other 1-f students watched the news together on her cell phone. They were all bowed in lethargy, worried about the state of his lost friends.

"It's all my fault, I should have stopped them last week." Lemon stared out the window.

"No, Roman, it's not your fault. No one knew they were going to disappear." Sera try to calm down.

"Geez.. Where did they go, huh? Were they abducted by aliens?" Hoshi theorized.

"Don't they die, and the body is buried deep?"

Hashimoto's words made things even more grim.

"They're fine."

In between the silence that began to envelop, Akemi let out a voice.

"Hey, do you know where Akemi is from?"

"Nonsense."

"The feeling continues! You're a psychic, aren't you?"

"I'm not a psychic, but I'm sure they're okay."

Akemi returned to daydreaming. Recalling the strange photo she saw in her grandmother's family photo album yesterday.

There is a picture of Lullin holding hands with his grandmother. When Akemi asked, her grandmother said it was her sister who went missing fifty years ago, and had never been found, her name was Tsuruga Saori.

Tsuruga was the virgin name of Akemi's grandmother before she married and changed her surname to Yoshino.

Akemi is not sure if the girl in the photo is Lullin or not. However, the fact that they are so similar is indisputable.

"Is there a connection between Lullin disappearing and the photo of the girl who looks like her? Is Lullin the long-lost grandmist sister?" inner Akemi.
