Takeru's POV
I was quite suspicious and scared of Shinta, and James-kun here agreed with me. So, the two of us carried these emotions and thoughts for the rest of the day until we can go back to our dorm rooms. In my dorm room, I was relieved after a whole day of classes and other obligations…
And then, while I was laying down on my bed, a voice said to me, "Help me…" Hearing that, I got up and looked around my bedroom, but no one was there. I was alone, and so, I lay my head back on the comfy bed.
But the same voice repeated, "Help me…"
Because of that, I got up and went around my room, wondering who said it or if it was just from my head.
And then, in front of me, a ghostly figure appeared in front of me, startling me suddenly. "Hi there, kouhai," he said to me while floating from the floor as a literal ghost.
"What the…?!" I responded with surprise and sudden fright.
"Sorry for scaring you like that, but please, help me."
Using my knowledge on ghosts from fiction, I responded back, "S-Sure, how can I help you?"
"First off, I'm Hashimoto Minoru. I was a senior student in this very school. Someone killed me a few weeks ago out of glee."
"Wait, really?"
"Yes, and the one who did it is one Ishii Shinta, who was from your class."
I was shocked. "What? He did that?"
Minoru then nodded. "Yes."
