Chapter 9: The old school buildingFriday was the day most of people were excited for. Especially at night, people were hanging out with their friend, family, some were gathered for drinking, some were for dating. They were doing different thing but their goal were the same, was to enjoy their life.
However, there was a girl who felt no interesting in the pleasure of living. Instead of hang out with others she preferred to spend time with herself. And now, she was on her way to go home from the convenience store with some ice creams she just bought.
“Is it ok to walk alone in the night like this? What if something happens?” Yuki asked worryingly as she looked around
“Don’t worry, I usually used this road” Mayu said and licked her ice cream
Yuki didn’t reply, she turned around and stared at the pattern they had passed, and then she turned to the front side and did the same thing. Even she couldn’t see the end of both sides because of darkness, but she could certainly say that she and Mayu were the only people on this road. Well, there was only Mayu, since Yuki was not a human.
“Neh Mayuyu, what if the yuurei (ghost) appears? It’s so dark here”
Aren’t we have one here… Mayu hopelessly looked at Yuki
“What?” asked the taller girl
“Nevermind” Mayu coldly answered and continued her walk
“By the way, don’t you feel this road is familiar?”
“We used this road everyday to go to school” Mayu replied as it was naturalness
“EHHHH!?” Yuki shouted with one hand covered her mouth as she saw AKB School in front of her eyes
“Don’t tell me you didn’t recognize it?” Mayu asked with a little surprised in her tone
…Silence…
She definitely didn’t recognize…“Let’s hurry, my ice--”
“AHHHHHHHHH!!!” a scream came from school’s direction
“What is that sound?” Yuki asked in a panic face as she saw Mayu ran to the school
“Where are you going?”
“Do you really have to ask me?” Mayu said and stopped in front of the school’s gate
“Do you know the password?” Yuki asked
“My uncle told me once” the Cyborg started adding the password, in a blink of eyes it became a row of countless symbols that made Yuki dazzled
Oh my eyes…As the imposing gate slowly opened, Mayu immediately ran into it and went straight to the forest behind the school.
“Are you sure it came from this direction?” asked the spirit
“Did you forget that what they said yesterday?” answered Mayu who was busy running
“Ah!” Yuki exclaimed and flew faster but then she saw Mayu slowed down her speed
“What happened?”
“I-I’m tireeed” Mayu panted
EHHH!? Yuki thought and looked at the distance they passed, not even haft the school yet
“Let’s walking” Mayu said and held her breath
This girl is unbelievable…From far, they could see the sight of flashlights came from the old building direction. With no hesitation, the Cyborg walked faster and then she heard a laughing
“Just a little spider” said Jurina as she dusted off the spider on Sae’s shoulder
“Tks, what a coward Genking-san” Acchan said
“YO--”
“Enough Sae, your scream just now was so attended. And now you want to start a quarrel .What if someone here us?” Takahashi said with a voice of a leader
“Someone already heard it”
“Mayu-chan!!” Yuko shouted in happy and she went to hug Mayu
“I thought you said you have no interested in this”
“I just passed by and then heard a scream” Mayu said coldly as she saw the rest were looking at Sae
“Gomen…” Sae replied
“Hai~ Hai~ let’s get back to the main topic” Acchan clapped her hands to gain the attention
“The shadow Tomochin saw was at the second floor, do you remember which class was it?” Mariko said
“Not really, I was confused after saw it so I couldn’t remember which one” Tomochin lowered her head.
“At least we know it was at second floor” Rena smiled
“Then we have to go door by door” Tomomi said
“Ok, let’s go. Remember to pay attention to people around so you won’t get lost” Takahashi said loud
“You are the one who should pay more attention” all the girls said in unison
“What are you guys trying to say?”
“It’s ok, I understand your feeling” Yuko with an empathic voice and put a hand on the midget’s shoulder
“Don’t mess with my high!!!!” Takahashi shouted loud which made all of the girls burst out laugh
Just a minute ago she reminded Sae to keep quiet… Jurina thought
“Let’s go” Haruna calmly said and went inside the building
I have a bad feeling… Mayu’s intuition was telling her to run away before she was in trouble but seemed like its too late, she was dragged into the building with the rest. The door wasn’t lock, it was too old that the lock was rusted. Inside the building the wood floor was decayed, holes could see over the ground.
The girls were full of fright, worry and excitement. This was the first time in their life doing something like this, normally they never have a chance to hang out at night since they’re a princess, an ojou-sama of the rich and high educated family.
“Nyannyan is so courageous~” Yuko happily followed behind the leading, she kept talking and tried to make the girl reply but Haruna seemed didn’t care and lazy to answer. The other girls also pretended to talk trying to make the tense air loosen until Mariko sudden asked
“Neh…don’t you feel it cold in here?” the model who was hiding behind Rena shivered
“Hahaue said the temperature is supposed to be lower where the spirits appear” Rena’s voice resounded which made the air became uncomfortable silence
“Y-You are kidding, right?” said Jurina as she tried to break the heavy atmosphere
“Dead people are just like Yin and living people are Yang, if we’re bringing the warmth then they’ll bring the coldness. So the area that spirits and ghosts gathered wills distinctive cold” Mayu relaxing walked next to Rena explained
“Ridiculous, I don’t believe in any of this. When a person dies, everything ends” Takahashi coldly walked faster, leaving the rest behind
“What a boring chairman” Acchan said with an unpleasant voice as she folded her arms
“Let’s move faster, we shouldn’t leave her alone” Tomomi reminded but she was rejected by the girl sharing the same name with her.
“Why we have to care about her when she was the one who separated herself with us?”
“She--” Tomomi’s words were distracted by a scream before she could finish
“It’s Kaichou’s (chairman) voice” Jurina shouted and quickly ran to the stair’s direction with Sae followed behind
“Are you alright Takamina?” Sae helped the shorter girl pull her foot out of the hole on the decayed wood stair
“Yeah, I’m ok looks like the stair is too old, tell the others to be careful”
“Phew~ don’t scare us like that” Yuko sighed in relief
“Gomen” Takahashi smiled
“Are you scared Yuko?” Haruna asked
“Nope, instead of that I feel worry for them” Yuko lovely looked at the girls who were leading the way
“Never thought that you would be this type of girl” the cat like girl chuckled
“Is Nyannyan complimenting me??”
“Who knows?”
“I’ll take it as a yes then” Yuko jumped in happy
“Hahaha you’re very interesting Yuko”
“Thank you for the compliment. By the way, you look so perky when the night comes”
“Cuz I only work at night”
“Eh?” Yuko was confused by the higher girl’s words
“I mean game, I play game all night” Haruna said with a proud tone
“I-I see” Yuko was shocked by hearing that, after the mature beauty face was real a game addict
Mayuyu laughed as she saw her Oshiri sister’s reaction which made Yuki felt uncomfortable
“You look so happy”
“Yeah her shocked face is so funny” Mayu continued looking the shorter girl and completely ignored the taller girl, who was talking with her.
What the heck? She always says my reactions are annoying and now she laughs at Yuko’s unprofessional one??? couldn’t control the displeasure, Yuki uncontrollable kicked the classroom’s door creasing a loud sound that surprised the girls.
Opps…“W-What was that?” Mariko hid behind Tomochin stuttering
“Who just kicked the door?” Tomochin asked the girls with the hope that someone would say yes, but unlike her expect the rest just silently shook their head, except Mayu who was stared blankly in the other direction
“Move aside” the midget said as she opened the door then illuminated the flashlight into it. There was nothing inside, accepted some old cabinets that placed against the wall.
“There’s nothing inside” rights after Takahashi closed the door, the ground began shaking heavily. The birds suddenly burst out of their net flew in disorder, in a second the girls thought they just heard the forest at night screaming
“What now?” Tomomi asked in panic
“Hold on something” Sae shouted as the ground shaking crazily, after a couple minutes it finally settled
“Now you are irritated them Bakamina” Acchan angrily pointed at the midget
“What?”
“Cuz you said you didn’t believe in their existence”
“We still don’t know is that Takahashi’s fault or not, more importantly I wonder are they really staying in this house?” Haruna dusted off her clothes
“Haruna~” Acchan pouted because she was opposed by her partner
And like that, the girls continued their mysterious adventure. They went to door by door to check every room, but unfortunately they found nothing.
“It’s already late and I think we should go back, there’s nothing in here” Tomomi said
Yesss! Finally!!! Mariko happily danced in her head
“Wait! This room…we haven’t it check yet” Rena’s words crushed Mariko's hope
How could you Rena-chan? I'm always nice to you“We missed this one? I thought we went in order” Sae crossed her arms and thought
“We were” Tomochin said seriously
“Neh, if I’m not mistake this one is the fourth classroom counts from the stair right?” Jurina shivered and back a little
“Um…” Takahashi quietly answered, the jitters were rising inside her. She could tell that this room was different than the others, she was to open the door but her instinct told her not to open it, so she stopped.
Feeling the heavy air, Yuki began to worry
“Mayuyu, is it ok for them to open?”
“I don’t know, it feels so…weird. I’m not sure what exactly behind the door, but I have a feeling it not came from the other world, also not this world”
“Eh?” Yuki was completely lost
Without warning, Haruna stepped up and opened the door, in a blink of eyes a black thing appeared and knocked her down
“Nyannyan!!” Yuko shouted and helped the girl
“Get out of—Eh?”
“A CAT!?” all girls shouted in unison
“Look like this place is where the wild cats living” Haruna said as she stroked a black cat in her hand
Taking a look, the girls realized inside this room there’re all kind of cats, more importantly there’re a huge amount of them. Couldn’t resist their cuteness, they ran inside and played with them.
“What a surprised~” said Yuki
“This explains why. Cat is the animal that can freely go back and forth between the two worlds, especially black cat. It’s not from any world, take look in this room. Mostly are black cat”
“Wow~ Really” Yuki was surprised as she looked around them room, just like Mayu said there were a lot of black cats. And then she heard a scream, looked like someone just stumbled
“Itaiii~ What is thi--? Kyahhhhh!!”
“Chiyuu!?” Tomochin called worryingly as she helped the girl sat up
“A-A dead body”
The girls were so shocked by hearing it, they immediately ran to Tomomi’s direction. Without hesitation, the two midgets stepped to where Tomomi was pointing, but then Yuko sudden burst out laughing
“Just an anatomical model”
“Eh?”
“Tsk!” Tomochin angrily stood up and let Tomomi fell, she thought something bad happened.
“Ouch…”
“I guess I knew what happened” Takahashi pretended to held a tobacco pipe like Sherlock Holmes
“Stop imitating please” complained Acchan but Takahashi decided to ignore her
“First is about the rumor, the student said he saw a person stood at the window and staring at him actually was this anatomical model. Remember this was the science lab, and normally we always have an anatomical model. Student usually put it at a small corner to save the room and in this place. Where do you think we should put it?” Takahashi asked as she’s a professional detective
“That one” after observed the class, Sae pointed at the corner next to the cabinet at the back.
“Exactly, that corner is a perfect spot for this model and I wonder have you guys realized it or not? It is also next to the window where the student saw the shadow.”
“Ohhh~” the girls surprising in unison
“Hang on” Rena interrupted
“If it was a model than why didn’t he realize it?”
“Eh? That…That’s because…”
“The sun. The rumor was spread out in May, which means he went to the old school building in about that time. And we all know that the sun of May is very shining because of that when he looked up to the second floor from far he couldn’t see it clearly. Which made him differentiated between a model and a real person. There is another proof that it could happen in May, why would that student sudden remember something that he forgot a long time ago? The answer is exams were coming. All the grades in AKB will have a midterm in the end of May, same as that student. Because he had to prepared for his exam, that’s explained why he went to old building to take the notes he forgot long time ago” Mayu said as she was there observed everything
“That’s right!” Takahashi shouted
“Wooow~” again the girls strongly reacted, blink blink could see in their eyes
“Ok, let’s me continue. Since the rumor exploded people rarely come to this place UNTIL yesterday Tomochin accidently came here for the ball. The shadow she saw was this model” Takahashi pointing at the anatomical model
“But because of the sunset it looked like a shadow, the reason why was it sudden disappeared was these guys”
“You mean the cats?” Jurina asked
“Yes, cats are the type of animals that love to climb. While playing around they accidently toppled the model and right at that moment Tomochin saw it. It explained why the shadow disappeared”
“Wooa~” the girls clapped their hands as they just witnessed a real detective solving a case
“Problem solved, let’s go home” Mariko said as if she was really tired but actually it was just an excuse to stay away from this place
“What about the earthquake? Are you going to say it created by these lovely cats too?” Acchan asked
Not you now Acchan...“Etou…That’s …”
“The subsidence” Mayu continued Takahashi’s sentence
“What do you mean?”
“First when we first walked in, the left side of the building was 0.5 inch below the right side. But after the earthquake just now it became 0.7 inch below, which means it subsided 0.2 inch. In conclusion, we can say that the building was shaking because of the subsidence” Mayu shortly explained
“Reallyyyy? I felt nothing. How could you even notice that?” Acchan said with an admiring voice
“I’m just lucky” Mayu said looking at the building behind, while the others were busying with talking. Mayu began slower her speed
“Neh neh I think you and Takamina can be good friend. You guys can create a two people group name “The midget detectives” !!” Yuki floating around Mayu jokingly
“No, thank you” Mayu coldly looked Yuki
“Still cold blood as usual” Yuki smiled as she started to get used to see the Cyborg’s reaction
“By the way, you look not satisfied with the result ”
“You realized?”
“I can feel it” as Yuki answered, Mayu let out a quiet giggle
“There are two questions in my mind. First, why are there a lot of cats in the science lab? Why didn’t they go to the other room but only stayed in one room. There must be something special that make them docilely lived in there. The second question is just like Kaichou said, cats are very active they climb everywhere which also means the model should be topple before that, not yesterday”
“So you mean…”
“There must be a participation of another party. That person gathered the cats in science lab, also was the one who usually set the anatomical model back to its position. The cats didn’t run around the building because he always prepares the food for them, the reason he doesn’t let the model fall because he’s using it as a cover not letting people come near it.”
“You meant he’s using the rumor”
“Yes, people afraid to come to the science lab of the old building because of the rumor that why he chose this place to hide the cats.”
“H-How did you figure that out?” as a reaction queen Yuki was extremely surprised
“It just come to my mind” Mayu looking at the other way
“Then who is it?” asked Yuki with a curious look
“Who knows, maybe some kind hearted person”
“Good job Mayuyu” the floating spirit tapped the shorter girl’s head
“I’m not done yet”
“Eh?” Yuki confused as she saw Mayu walked to the girls
“Neh, can I ask you guys a question?”
“Yes?” all girls said in unison
“How could you guys get in here?”
“Hm? We said we forgot our homework and the security let us in” Tomomi said
“The security…” the Cyborg quietly mumbled
“Yes, the guy has a big mole below his left eyes” Takahashi added
“And he always smiles while talking right Nyannyan?” Yuko said with a happy face and Haruna just silently nodded
“To be honest, I feel very lucky that he didn’t ask any question” Tomochin signed in relief
“Like [Why there are a lot of student forgot their homework at the same time?]” Acchan laughed as that what she would say if she’s the security
“I have another question”
“What’s it Watanabe-san?” asked Rena innocently
“He looks around forty, wearing the grey uniform and very gentle right?”
“Yeah yeah, that’s right. Did you know him?” Jurina asked
“He died 5 years ago on his way to home after a night shift, since that the principal didn’t hire anyone doing night job. Instead of that, he only use the security system” Mayu briefly said
“W-What?” Sae shocked after hearing the story
“So…So you mean…” tear formed in Mariko’s eyes
“You guys just met a ghost”
“NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” the girls screamed and ran out of the school with their full speed. Look like today will be an unforgettable day to them.
