SCHOOL IN THE CITY IS DEAD
SCHOOL IN THE CITY DEAD 26

Rin lay in her room, thinking of all the explanations of the love she had heard that day. He was confused by his own feelings. Everything she experienced with Amata, and Keyaru, made her feel messed up in love. He pondered for a moment, trying to understand what was in his heart. She is comfortable with Amata's presence, happy to be with him, but she is unsure if the feeling can be categorized as love. She also feels her relationship with Keyaru is different, but she doesn't know if it's just a feeling of friendship or more than that.

Rin stared at the ceiling of her room, trying to find answers in her heart. He realized that love was something complex and difficult to understand. He knows that his feelings take time to develop and grow, and he should not rush into making decisions. Rin decides to give herself some time, to explore her feelings honestly and carefully. He knows that by being open and honest with himself, he will find clarity about his feelings.

In the darkness of the quiet room, Rin breathed a long breath. She decides to enjoy every moment with her friends and gives herself a chance to learn about love and understand her own feelings. He knew that by doing so, he would find true happiness and keep their precious friendship. With a calm mind, Rin felt a little relieved. He felt confident that with time, things would become clearer to him. And for now, he would enjoy every adventure and laughter with his friends full of happiness and serenity in his heart.

On the other hand, Aika, one of their friends who was secretly harboring feelings towards Keyaru, felt disappointment in her heart. He watches as Rin, Amata, and Keyaru experience various adventures and bond increasingly close friendships. Although he was happy to see them happy, his heart felt hurt because of his unrequited feelings. Aika tries to hide her feelings and stays kind to them. He did not want to ruin the friendship they had built. However, in his heart, jealousy and sadness continued to haunt him.

In silence, Aika struggles with her own feelings. He wondered if there was a chance for his feelings to materialize, or if he should let those feelings go and focus on their friendship. He does not want to hurt anyone, including Rin who he considers to be his close friend. In the darkness of her room, Aika pondered her complicated feelings. She hopes to find the strength and courage to face her feelings and communicate with her friends every day. Until that time comes, Aika will continue to be their loyal supporter and try to find happiness in their friendship.

The next day when Rin was about to leave school he saw the latest news broadcast on television that some days in Tokyo a lot of people are found dead mysteriously. And last night the number of people died was 130. The total number of people who died that week was 360. In Hokkaido, the death toll is higher than in Tokyo. "This must have been a yokai" said Rin who was still staring at the news broadcast on TV.

"This is not the end" said his mother Rina who was busy preparing food for Rin

"Daddy hasn't come home yet" Rin asked her mother

"No, he won't be home before the situation improves. She has a great responsibility" Rin's mother put her food in Rin's bag

"Alright, Mother then I'm leaving" Rin

"Be careful Rin" Rina

Rin, taking her bag and katana and running outside her house and heading to her school, as long as she runs she sees that the atmosphere of Tokyo is so quiet as never before. He looked at the few people who were walking with pale faces and looked frightened. Rin becomes increasingly convinced that it is the Yokai who must be responsible for this mysterious death. Rin's footsteps stopped at the residence of Ryo's house, one of his close friends. Rin, seeing that at Ryo's house there are several police officers with a team from the supernatural field security division.

Without hesitation, Rin approaches one of the police officers standing guard outside Ryo's house. "Excuse me, what's going on here? Is Ryo okay?" rin asked worriedly.

The police officer looked at Rin seriously. "Sorry, we can't give you too much information. But there were incidents of yokai attacks around this area, and Ryo became one of the victims. He is in a serious condition and is receiving treatment in hospital. Sorry, but we have to restrict access to this house for further investigation." the police tried to keep Rin away from the area of Ryo's house.

Rin was surprised to hear the news. Her little heart trembled, worried about Ryo's state. He felt guilty for not being able to protect his friend. His mind immediately remembered the mysterious death that occurred in Tokyo, and he was increasingly convinced that this event was indeed a yokai. Rin runs back to school, this time with a determined and determined heart. But upon arriving at school, he was astonished to see the atmosphere of the school is very quiet. "School in liburkan?" ask Rin to himself.

Rin is surprised to hear Hiroki's explanation. He felt increasingly worried about the situation getting worse. Rin pondered for a moment, trying to think of what plan to do. "In these circumstances, what should we do?" rin asked Hiroki in an anxious tone.

Hiroki frowned, trying to think of a solution. "We have to think carefully. Attacking frontally may not be the best option. Saki's subordinate strength is indeed extraordinary. We need to find the right loophole or strategy to deal with it."

Rin looked around the quiet school and thought hard. "Maybe we can find information about the weaknesses or weak points of Saki's subordinates. If we know their weaknesses, we can plan a more effective attack."

Keyaru comes to Rin and Hiroki who continue to observe the school from its gate. In a soft voice he said to Rin and Hiroki "You guys take it easy, we have Hakata. He said he'd send a spy to the Yokai Council organization"

"What's? Who's gonna be a spy?" ask Rin

"Reiki, he said he was the most suitable for this task" Keyaru replied

"I'm not sure this is all going to work, Yokai Council is not a stupid yokai organization that is easy to get into by aliens just like that. And disguise is the easiest trick that can be directly dismantled by them" Hiroki said

Rin, Hiroki, and Keyaru continue to discuss their plans. Although they realize that infiltration into the Yokai Council will not be easy, they still try to find a way to fight against Saki's subordinates and uncover their weaknesses.

"Is there any other way to get information about the Yokai Council? We need more data about our enemies" Rin said in a determined voice.

"Why not ask Nakamura - san? Besides a YHA Leader, he's a detective. His insight into the world of yokai is very broad because it always handles various types of cases, conducting research and investigations" said Naomi who came to Keyaru, Hiroki, and Rin

"Yes, I also think like that" Hiroki said

Maybe that's a good idea" Keyaru agreed. "We can discuss this situation with Nakamura-san and ask for her help. He may have important information or advice that could help us deal with the Yokai Council."
