Chapter 8 Shibuya

"W- Why did you tore it, Ahito? I haven't read it yet."

Now I know why this house no one wants to play. Who doesn't get angry with the guide to life like that. Turns out the owner of this place is also smart, when he only distributes tickets to those who already have tickets.

"Sorry...sorry, I messed up."

Before entering, we were each given a green glowing stick. I opened the door to enter, a black envelope enveloped us, the door roared again, making me startled and hugged Mitsuko. If it weren't for this stick, I'd probably sit around until someone came to save me.

"Sorry, Mitsuko-san... I'm a little nervous."

What's up with this idiot, you're obviously scared, just admit it. Maybe she'll understand and let you out. Haven't taken a step yet, but the lines of thoughts keep clinging to me.

Outside, it is an image of a house. However, the inside is a bit narrower than I thought, it also only has a few straight lines to go, it doesn't seem as complicated as I thought.

There is a room in front of me. Looks like there's no other way but it, so we have to go in.

I was afraid of being scared, so I only dared to gently open the wooden door. This is a living room, I can't see very well because of the lack of light. But we also know that this room is decorated in a Western style, probably from the 17th or 18th century or something.

"Hey Mitsuko, stop laughing! that's straining."

Mitsuko wasn't afraid at all. Completely opposite of me. I have to be vigilant around so that if I encounter anything, I can run.

In the center of the room, there are two single sofas facing each other, in the middle of the two chairs is a small wooden table, under which is lined with an English royal carpet. To see what else...

"Come here Mitsuko!"

These walls are plastered with royal patterns. It's so beautiful... on the wall they hang street paintings from the 80s of the 17th century, looking at the fine lines, I don't know how much money they spent to buy it.

"Ah... w- what is this...?"

Looks like I just saw something like a head.

What a pity... it turned out to be just a deer head. I held up a light stick over the painting to see if there was anything, when a deer head was hung up, startling me to the ground.

"Are you okay, Ahito?" Mitsuko helped me up again.

"I'm fine, Mitsuko."

That's pathetic, even having a deer head is scary. But considering the area of ​​this room is also small, maybe that's the reason why they don't use flashlights, to increase the magic part? No! Exactly wanted me to not see the deer head from afar, so I would be scared.

Have to see if there's anything else around. Oh, I seem to have seen it somewhere.

It's a 17th century fireplace. There are also candles on top, and a display of bronze figures of characters. look cool. How did they get these from the movies? Looks so familiar.

"Hey, Ahito. I found the box."

"Please... d- don't put the stick under your face and laugh, Mitsuko!"

If she did that, she would look scary like a witch.

"Just kidding, just kidding, Ahito."

Mitsuko found it deep in the bookshelf. It turned out to be hiding things, but when I searched just now, I couldn't find anything.

"Open it and try it, Mitsuko!"

Great, it's a golden key. Why does it feel like a key to the next door? In this room there are two scenes of doors, one is the door we entered just now. The other door is locked.

Why do I feel that the house is more like a place of challenge and discovery than a haunted house...

"Okay, let me try to open the other door with it."

I took the golden key and approached the door. Fits tight, sure it's the right key.

"Ha ha, this game is easy!"

As soon as I pushed open the door lightly, a corpse wrapped in plastic bags fell down and hit me in the face.

"ARE NOT!"

After getting hit in the face by that thing. I ran out of a corner and sat holding my head. Even though I know it's a model, it looks like a real person.

I'm sorry, this game is extremely difficult. Someone please throw me out of this place. I don't want to play anymore. This game is really not suitable for a ghost-fear like me. Why in the world has someone free to build this house, mom, save me!

"What's wrong, Ahito? It's just a dummy."

"If you don't like it, we can stop it, Ahito." Mitsuko approached me and hugged me.

"M- Mitsuko huh... you?"

Once again, she freed me from fear. Mitsuko is like the savior of my life. In the end, we left there even though we didn't know what was next. I feel so sorry for her, not being able to finish it with Mitsuko.

"I- I'm sorry... Mitsuko..."

When I was overwhelmed by fear, I often lost my temper.

Her face didn't even have a hint of anger, Mitsuko smiled at me.

"You don't need to apologize, Ahito. Don't mind me, I've played it once."

I see, no wonder she found the key so quickly. Yet Mitsuko still begged me to play.

"Actually... I just want to play with you!"

I realized that Mitsuko also wanted me to overcome my fear.

I feel so guilty for hiding from fear. I don't have much time with her, I have to cherish this moment. It's still early...

"Hey Mitsuko, let's go to Shibuya Center to play!"

There are many places to eat and drink, with many interesting games.

"Eh, Ahito... why all of a sudden?"

"I will go there by train station! Maybe twenty minutes at the most."

I grabbed Mitsuko's hand and pulled her to run down the street.

"Just in time Mitsuko. Let me buy a ticket."

I need to buy two tickets to Shibuya. To see, a ticket is 315 yen so that would be 650 yen.

Huh? why does it give me 370 yen in excess money? But never mind...

"Let's go, Mitsuko!"

We got on the train and sat together for twenty minutes and arrived.

"Where should we go now Mitsuko?"

I was the one who suggested going to Shibuya. Once I got there, I didn't know where to go. It's too wide here.

"Hey, Ahito. Or let's go in there and try on clothes!"

Mitsuko said as she pointed at a fashion store. At first glance, that store looks very luxurious. How can I have enough money?

"Hey don't think too much, Ahito. We just went in to try on a few sets and then left."

I am forever lost in thought. Then Mitsuko's words and calls woke me up. She really... is a girl who understands. I know I'm a poor guy, so I didn't ask to buy it.

"Welcome to our store. You are free to choose comfortable clothes."

Great, it's all branded stuff in here. I flipped up the coat's price list, looked at the price and wanted to go home. It took me about three months to buy it...

"Hey Ahito, come here! Today we will try on adult style."

"M- Adult...? What do you mean..."

After listening to it, I immediately thought of some dirty clothes.

"It's just some mature clothes, Ahito. Do you think there's a different outfit?"

I don't know why when I listen to adult dramas, I think nonsense again, now she's got my hands on it.
