"Is that true Sachiko-chan? Is there a curse in this place?" asked Keith with a dumbfounded face. 'I don't really follow Corpse Party: Tortured Soul, anyway. I don't know about this. Is there really a curse in this place?'
Moments have passed since Sachiko, the ghost loli, became Keith's slave. Now that Sachiko had become relatively peaceful and did not want to fight back, after all she was Keith's companion from now on. These two people, male and female, both underground, conversed with each other to strengthen their relationship, but eventually led to the topic of curse in this school.
"true." Sachiko spat into the corner of the room before continuing, "Humans that linger here will go crazy. Not only them, but this was also true for all the spirits present in this place. You might not be affected as it has a lot of magic energy that makes its curse slow down to affect you. But for those who have little mental strength and magic, they will quickly be affected by this curse."
"Wine! I have to abort this mission for their safety!" Keith stood up spontaneously, but he sat back down, and said, "Later, deh. I want to see how good they are in the face of this curse. After all, you have a healing ability that can cure mental illness, right, Sachiko-chan?"
"Anjay, here, people. Not that nolongin, instead want to test them." Sachiko let out a breath. "I'm a bodo with this. It's none of my business to help them."
Kino and Rikka are in a classroom. The journey is very long, yet to think of a possibility if they just walk the same path and rotate. With magic can restore stamina, but rest while sitting sweet is also needed.
"Nee, Kino, why did you ask us to separate from Miko-san earlier?" asked Rikka who was sitting next to Kino.
"Nonsense." Kino explained, "I feel like his attitude gets even stranger every time we walk. He looks crazy and wilder the longer we stay here. You yourself saw it when he did not feel at all afraid or disgusted to see the corpse, ‘kan?”
“Truely too, anyway..” Rikka stuck an index finger on her chin. “It is indeed strange when he does not feel disgusted at something like that at all. Even though she said she was used to it from her previous world, it should not be that easy for Miko-san to become used to the corpse. It's very, very strange when he takes that lightly..”.
“Then from that, I brought you here. Suiseiseiseki might be able to do something when she is attacked by Miko. But you, are you sure you can survive if Miko suddenly attacks you?” ask Kino.
“A-I? How could I possibly survive a psychopath. I will die if he attacks me..” replied Rikka.
Actually just the opposite, anyway. Rikka had a greater possibility when fighting Miko. The reason, Rikka's fighting style is close attack, while Miko is a trap user. Miko will not have a chance if Rikka attacks her. It's just that, for some reason, maybe Rikka's mentality, Kino chose to sacrifice Suiseiseiseki.
‘Suiseeiseki is Admin's company. I'm sure Admin will help him if his friend is in a dangerous situation. On the other hand, Rikka is a member of the group who can go outside if you want. If I become an Admin, I consider my companion more valuable than the members of the group who can decide to go outside or continue. Honestly, I still can't trust that person completely.’
Souseiseki floated through the wall with her transparent body. Some ghosts were inside the spacious room, there were also items they were looking for in the room. But for Souseiseki whose existence did not join this world, he did not attract the attention of all those ghosts or monsters at all.
‘Hmm... This is one of the [Skill Scroll] to complete their mission. Too bad I couldn't take it. I'll be back to tell them all.’
‘About what they're doing, huh? This place is very bad as a human residence. Why did Keith choose here to make a mission? Is there no better place than this?’
‘I mean, look at this place. Here is a ghostly nest and full of corpses. It must smell bad if I was in participant mode and kissed them all. Suiseiseiseki must have suffered from feeling all these smells.’
‘I am indeed a puppet and do not know too much about humans. But me and the humans each have similar body proportions. Seeing all these corpses can still make me imagine the shattered body of the puppet. If from a human point of view, this might be a mutilated primate and they are forced to look at body parts from it. This place is too creepy.’
‘But ignoring Keith's bad attitude, he was a good person, from letting us stay there to giving us a meal.’
‘...’ Souseiseki remembers their days while at the Claes manor. About those who toyed with Katarina, helped make cookies, and many others. From here he remembered something ….
‘Wait, didn't the one who did that were Keith's friends or family? He spent more time in his room without me knowing what he was doing. That person is indeed useless..’.
Suiseiseiseki and Miko walk in one hallway together, with no idea where they are going. Anyway, both of them just took a walk somewhere while trying to find the [Skill Scroll] that was the purpose of their mission. Some monsters or ghosts sometimes come to them, but with the cooperation between the two of them, the creatures managed to be exterminated easily.
“Sepi, yes...” Suiseiseiseki started talking, “Anone, Man, usually what are you doing in your world?”
This conversation had absolutely nothing to do with the mission, so this was purely done out of a gab and deserted. The atmosphere of a dark, damp, wet, and corpse-filled hallway is a very appropriate depiction for a place that does not want to be occupied. Talking and breaking up the atmosphere can make the atmosphere warmer than awkward.
“I? Em. nothing special. I just go to school, sometimes slaughter some ghosts that roam around my house. Sometimes I take photos with my hunted ghosts while wishing there were other indigos like me, could see them ..”
“Photo?”
“Yah... photos are still images both colored and black-and-white produced by a camera that records an object or event or circumstance at a certain time,” explained Miko.
‘I don't understand at all...,’ Inner Suiseiseiseki.
‘I don't bring a phone to show her..’ Inner Miko.
