The three of us knelt on the wooden floor of the temples main hall.
Tateishi and Kuno were the picture of seriousness.
But maybe because she liked the temple atmosphere, or maybe because she found it interesting, the sli that I was wearing as my clothes was jiggling subtly, enjoying herself.
No evil spirit could beat out an upbeat rhythm like this in the main hall of a temple.
Im telling you, its all a misunderstanding!
No, it absolutely is a ghost.
Many people, being seriously told by a beautiful Japanese girl in white clothes washed in cold water that It is a ghost, would probably believe her.
If Shizuku hadnt been beating out her upbeat rhythm, even I might have ended up inadvertently believing her.
Tateishi seed to be offering to perform the exorcism for free, but if shed been a greedy priest, she probably would have demanded loads of money.
Temples seed to be profitable both in the other world and in Japan.
Do you have proof that the ghost is doing bad things?
Before, a strange person wearing a mask, hat and sunglasses ca to et Suzuki after theyd eaten at the restaurant, saying that they wanted to thank the chef. Do you rember that?
Oh yeah That.
Of course I rember it.
The truth is, that person wearing the mask, hat and sunglasses is not of this world.
Huh? A person whos not of this world?
Timidly, Kuno asked Tateishi in a small voice, Really?
No That was
What had really happened was that Shizuku, after taking on my appearance and starting my work in the kitchen, had put on a mask, hat and sunglasses to play the part of a custor and summoned the chef, saying that she wanted to et him.
The person whos not of this world was actually just
Without doubt, its a ghost.
Tateishi was turning into a ghost. Kuno gulped.
This is no good. Tateishi might have been born in the temple but clearly she has no feeling for the supernatural at all.
Suzuki, Im going to go to your house now and cleanse it.
Whaaaaat?
Apparently Tateishi intended to purify the apartnt block where I lived.
Of course it has a lot of issues, but I get the feeling that theyre not caused by ghostly phenona. Even that shady estate agent knew that the apartnt didnt have ghosts.
N-no but.
When I tried to refuse, Tateishi smiled sweetly.
Dont worry about a thing, Suzuki. For the ti being, this will
For the ti being?
I was born in the temple, after all.
Tateishi was always so composed, but her smile was absolutely adorable. Shes probably trying to put at ease.
But however much I think about it, shes T from the temple, and she has no sense of the supernatural.
Well then, lets head to Suzukis haunted apartnt!
At Kunos fighting words, the two of them rose valiantly. I got to my feet like a zombie.
We arrived at the road in front of my apartnt block.
Is this the place? The ghost is giving off sinister energyTateishi muttered, her expression the picture of seriousness. She was wearing a coat on top of her white clothes.
I s-see.
Is that so she doesnt catch a cold?
All right, well, Im a guy living alone, so Im just going to go and clear up in my apartnt quickly. Ill be right back.
Okay.
I got the two of them to wait by the road in front of the apartnt block.
Never mind Kuno, having Tateishi a female high school student coming into my room is
Up until three days ago, it was in no state for to invite Japanese people inside. Thats because Ria, Deet and Miri people from the other world were there.
But now they had gone.
When they were here, their being here was a problem, but now that theyve gone, Im lonely without them around.
Thats why I was happy to have Tateishi and Kuno co to visit. Mainly Tateishi. Thinking this, I put my key into the lock of my apartnt door.
Huh? Thats weird!?!
Maybe I went out without locking my door. It wasnt locked.
I sotis did that, so it wasnt that strange. I went into my apartnt.
Theres probably no-one there, but Ill say Im ho! anyway. H-huh?
SohowI feel like theres soone here.
U-um
I heard a voice that I recognised coming from the direction of the Western-style room. The light in that room was on.
There were crisp packets and cans of Ultra Dry next to the pillow, and soone was sleeping there. I know who that soone is.
Shes r-radiant
The figure of Deet in bloors, her thick hair tousled, erged from the bed.
Oh, Thor! You ca ho. Welco baaack!
Deet, wh-wh-wh-why are you
Should I not have co back? I ca here because Im going all the way down to the deepest levels of the dungeon. I cant get from the first floor to the fifth floor in one go.
I know that, but youve got a key, Deet. Cant you go in at the first level underground and co out at the fifth level straight away?
There shouldnt be any need for you to sleep in my bed and drink beer and eat crisps.
Co on! I ca to see you, Thor. I bet you missed having around, right?
She put her arms around my neck and brought her face close to mine.
She stinks of alcohol. Getting a better look, I realised that there were containers of Red Crane cooking sake scattered about underneath the bed. This elf has adapted to the Japanese lifestyle, all right.
Thats when it happened.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!
I heard a shout from the bathroom. I recognised this voice, too.
Ria?!
Yeah, now you ntion it, she turned up after . I wonder whats wrong with her?
This is no ti for talking! She just scread! I ran to the bathroom.
Whats wrong, Ria?!
The second I opened the frosted glass door to the bathroom, I was soaked by the showers violent Water Attack.
S-Sir Thor! Im sorry. Its been a while, so I mixed up the cold and hot water again. And the waters on the highest setting
N-no, thats fine, but. Um
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!
Ria crouched down, hiding her heavy boobs.
Atchoo! Be careful.
Okay, okay.
As I left the bathroom, a towel ca flying at my drenched face. Todays starting pitcher was Deet.
Jeez! I cant believe youve been getting it on with Ria already, Thor! You havent done anything with !
It wasnt on purpose!
Hmph! Im going to sleep until dinner, so dont wake up!
Is my apartnt your rest stop?
Well, even if they were using my apartnt as a rest stop, I was still happy to see the two of them.
I could tell that they were going to be visiting for a while.
And I got to see sothing special, too.
However, I had the feeling that Id forgotten sothing important.
Ding dong, ding dong!
It was the intercom. Who could that be?
Suzuki! Are you okay? I heard a scream! Was it the ghost?!
Aw crap. Its Kuno!
Id completely forgotten about Tateishi and Kuno.
My ability to think had deserted thanks to my lack of sleep.
Who is it?
The elf in gym shorts looked suspiciously towards the entrance hall.
Deet. Will you get in the closet in the Japanese-style room for a bit?
Why? Who is it?
A colleague from my part-ti job.
Really? Then Ill go and say hi.
Deet was more courteous than I expected.
No, didnt I tell you that there are no high elves in Japan?
Not to ntion that won in their early twenties wearing gym shorts only exist in this special environnt.
I pushed Deet towards the Japanese-style room.
Hey, wait!
I opened the closet, where I kept loads of adult books.
Deets going to find out, but you cant make an olette without breaking eggs, I suppose.
Sorry. Hide in here for a bit.
You owe big ti.
Dont say freaky things like that. What do you want from ?
Two banana chocolate cream crepes.
Thats nothing. Shes such a kid.
Okay, got it.
You better co back quickly!
Id ended up hiding not only erotic doujinshi in my apartnt closet, but also a beautiful real-life elf dressed in gym shorts.
Suzuki! Whats wrong?!
Nothing, nothing. Im on my way now.
Here, have so black tea.
Tateishi and Kuno were sitting across from at the table.
I handed them so morning tea.
Thank you. This feels like a pretty normal apartnt block, doesnt it?
