“This time was a success”
“Alright!”
Familiar voices could be heard from underneath the ghosts' masks. Since they had met just before Koutarou realized that the voices belonged to the hunters. Noticing Koutarou's glance, the two ghosts returned to the bushes as they gave him a simple wave. They still had two more groups to go through.
“Clan-san, they're gone”
“W-W-What was that just now!?”
“Those were the ghosts for this test of courage. And you were surprised by them”
“I-It's not like I was scared! It was just so sudden they surprised me...”
“I know”
“Then that's good... phew...”
Clan had been so surprised her heart was still throbbing. She took a deep breath and relaxed her body.
“By the way, Clan”
“What?”
“Would you like to walk yourself, or would you prefer to continue on like this?”
“Eh...?”
There, Clan finally noticed what kind of position she was in. In her surprise, she had jumped onto Koutarou and was embracing him even now.
“I-I'll walk! I'll walk on my own, thank you very much!”
Clan hurriedly escaped from Koutarou's arms and began awkwardly walking. Looking at her from behind it was clear that she was quite shaken up.
“Fufufu... Oh Clan-san...”
Clan's appearance was far too amusing so Harumi let out a adorable laugh as she followed after her.
