Hikari sternly reprimanded the three gyaru girls.
"Alright."
Seeing Hikari's righteous and dignified expression, the three gyaru girls had no choice but to carry their school bags and obediently head home to study first.
However, looking at the colorful books in their school bags, which even contained many anatomical illustrations, Hikari seriously doubted whether what they were earnestly studying was actually their textbooks.
To be honest, Hikari wasn't just sending them home to study properly.
Frankly speaking, partying with three gyaru girls was quite enjoyable.
Unlike Natsuha and Yukino, the three gyaru girls were already best friends, so their coordination and synergy were incredibly high.
Aside from actual sisters or twin sisters, it would be hard to find anyone who could match their level of understanding.
Not only were they perfectly in sync, but they also had a variety of styles and endless tricks up their sleeves.
So playing four-soms or anything else with them was both satisfying and highly enjoyable for Hikari.
However, today Hikari had already promised Miss Mira that he would go back to the Tsubakihara household for dinner, so he naturally couldn't break his promise.
Because of this, when Natsuha and Akane came to invite him to hang out, Hikari also turned them down.
'Compared to my promise with Miss Mira, everything else will have to wait,' As he thought this, Hikari, who was packing his school bag and preparing to go home, suddenly halted.
"However, there is one exception…"
Just now, the pure love radar in his mind suddenly went off.
Something was happening.
Sensing the reaction of his pure love radar, Hikari quickly walked out of the classroom and exited the school building.
As the War God of Pure Love, he had to resolve the situation before doing anything else.
Upon reaching the area beneath the school building, Hikari turned his head and gazed toward the abandoned school building in the rear mountain of the academy.
It was an old, pitch-black, eerie school building.
Rumor had it that it was built when Osaka High School was first established.
But as the student population increased and expansion was needed, that location was deemed inconvenient.
So the old school building was abandoned, and a newer, larger, and better one was constructed.
That old school building was probably due for demolition soon.
Staring at the dilapidated structure, Hikari furrowed his brows slightly.
'Could an NTR event be happening over there?'
'Did some blond delinquent or bull-headed bastard threaten a student or a female teacher to do something bad inside?'
'But this school building is so run-down and creepy… that seems unlikely, right?'
'Those blond delinquents and bull-headed guys probably wouldn't even be able to get it up in such a place.'
'Or… could this be related to the rumored ghost?'
'In this world, it's not entirely impossible for evil monsters and ghosts to exist.'
'Forget it, I'll go check it out and see for myself.'
With insufficient information, Hikari thought for a moment but couldn't come to a conclusion.
So he decided to investigate directly.
After all, his current strength was far from weak, and with his various tools and skills, he was practically invincible among ordinary people—almost like a mini Superman.
Moreover, with the Pure Love Aura and Vajra Demon-Suppressing Force, even if he encountered something supernatural, he should have nothing to fear.
And if he really couldn't win, he could always run away.
Since his pure love radar had gone off, that meant there were pure love points to be earned. For the sake of those points, he had to at least take a look.
With this in mind, Hikari strode toward the eerie school building.
———
Inside the abandoned old school building at Osaka High School, dust had accumulated on the corridor walls and floors due to lack of cleaning.
The hallway mirrors were shattered, but no one cared, as no one lived there.
Cobwebs hung in clusters from the ceiling.
As it was after school and the sun was setting, the inside of the old school building, which had no lights or electricity, was pitch-black.
Yet within that darkness, several figures were rustling about.
If someone saw from the outside, they might think it was haunted.
But if they turned on the lights and looked carefully, they would realize that these so-called "ghosts" were merely a few high school girls.
Among the five girls who had stayed in this old, rundown building, three could no longer hold on.
Trembling, the three girls stopped in their tracks.
They turned to the other two girls and said, "W-We're done with this adventure. Reina-chan, Yui-chan, you two go on, we're heading back!"
With that, the three girls quickly turned and exited the school building.
Watching them leave, Reina didn't try to stop them. Instead, she flicked her gorgeous golden hair and sneered.
"Cowards!"
Then, she grabbed the hand of the girl beside her, Obata Yui, and continued deeper into the old school building.
"Yui, let's go. We'll finish exploring this whole place today. Forget those scaredy-cats."
Although she was also a bit afraid, Obata Yui, who wasn't good at refusing people, could only nod tearfully.
"Okay…"
Following behind Kurashiki Reina, Obata Yui reached the second floor of the old school building.
However, as soon as they climbed up, a cold, eerie wind blew through the corridor windows, making their bodies shudder.
Feeling the chilling draft, Obata Yui looked at the increasingly dark hallway ahead and couldn't help but stop.
Standing still, she clutched the hem of her skirt and pleaded with Kurashiki Reina, "Reina, I… I'm really scared. Can we stop adventuring now…?"
"No way! I came here today specifically to explore this entire building."
Kurashiki Reina huffed in exasperation.
Lately, rumors of ghost hauntings in the old school building had been spreading, making an already deserted place even more avoided.
Even people who had to pass by would take detours, fearing to come close.
However, the bold and self-assertive Kurashiki Reina wasn't scared at all.
She even pulled along some female friends, intending to explore the building after school in the evening.
And with her strong action-oriented nature, she actually followed through.
But shortly after entering, three girls had already been scared away by the pitch-black atmosphere.
Now, only Kurashiki Reina and Obata Yui remained.
Yet Obata Yui, unable to refuse others, was now terrified and unwilling to proceed further after being dragged up to the second floor.
"Let's go back," Obata Yui pleaded, her voice tinged with desperation.
Seeing her pitiful expression, Kurashiki Reina softened a little.
She sighed, "Yui, you're such a scaredy-cat. Fine, go ahead and leave."
"I'll continue alone."
"I said I'd explore every room, including the toilets, to solve this haunted house mystery and become famous at school. I can't quit halfway."
Actually, aside from proving her bravery, Kurashiki Reina had another goal.
She wanted to use this adventure to gain recognition and show up a certain someone who rejected her today, show them just how amazing she was.
But Obata Yui had no such ambitions.
Hearing Kurashiki Reina's words, she was immensely relieved and, after apologizing repeatedly, bolted downstairs and out of the building.
Now alone in the abandoned, pitch-black school building, Kurashiki Reina remained undeterred.
"Humph! Ghosts don't exist. It's all nonsense made up by cowards. I'll prove it and make my name known."
Turning on her phone's camera and flashlight mode, Kurashiki Reina walked forward step by step, continuing her exploration inside the old school building.
"As expected, there's nothing at all."
After opening several room doors in a row and finding each one empty, Kurashiki Reina sneered, becoming even more confident that the ghost rumors about the old school building were completely fabricated.
"These old dorms have almost all been explored. Now, I just have to finish checking this floor's toilet."
"As long as I finish exploring this toilet, I can basically go back."
"When the time comes, I'll make a post on the academy's forum and attach these photos. My courage will definitely make me famous in school."
Naturally vain, Kurashiki Reina already seemed to see the scene of her post going viral, with countless admirers rushing to praise her, lifting her onto a throne.
By then, as the queen, the number of suitors she'd have would be uncountable, and she could make that guy, Hikari, regret his choices.
'Back then, you ignored me, but now, you can't even dream of reaching me!'
Thinking of this, Kurashiki Reina felt secretly pleased, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up.
Smiling, she pushed open the door to the last toilet stall, stepping in with confidence.
"As expected, there's nothing in the toilet either."
Kurashiki Reina scanned the area. Although the toilet was dark and eerie, it seemed to be completely empty.
"I'll open the stalls and take some pictures, just in case someone claims I was careless and didn't check properly."
With this thought in mind, Kurashiki Reina began opening the doors of the stalls one by one.
"Empty."
"Nothing."
"Empty."
"Hmph, nothing."
One after another, she opened the stall doors. These old school toilets were aged and worn-out, making them difficult to open, and her hands were getting tired.
Moreover, there was a faintly strange smell lingering in the air, which made Kurashiki Reina quite uncomfortable.
However, since she had started, she had to finish. With only three or four stalls left, Kurashiki Reina naturally decided to continue.
Finally, she arrived in front of the last stall.
After repeatedly finding nothing in the previous stalls, she didn't think this one would have anything either.
So, without much thought, she casually pushed open the last stall door.
Creak—
As the final door opened, Kurashiki Reina felt a slight nervousness.
But to her relief, even when the door was fully open, the stall remained empty. Besides the old squat toilet, there was absolutely nothing inside.
"Heh, just as expected, this so-called haunted school building has nothing at all. The ghost rumors are completely ridiculous. What a joke."
Laughing smugly, Kurashiki Reina turned around, feeling pleased as she prepared to leave the toilet and conclude her perfect adventure.
