Running into the Curious Girl
Upon reaching the gathering area where the smell of their dinner was already permeating the air, I looked for Uchiyama and handed the four to his care. Finding out that they were from his class, I decided to make use of him in this situation. Of course, I instructed him not to intimidate them but to take care of them like he would his goons.
Although the delinquent looked confused as to why I was with them in the first place, I provided him with a simple explanation that I found them in the woods and it looked like their exploration went too far. They experienced an unlucky circumstance that left them mentally exhausted.
That got him curious so I let him hear an excerpt of their experience. It made him shudder in fright but I could already imagine him exploring that place too.
Maybe tomorrow, there’d be stories about their ghost adventures. Well, that’s the ideal outcome.
