I Became A Ghost In A Horror Game

Chapter 40

An order came from Ella today.

It was an order to find a book in the school.

When asked what kind of book it was, Ella glanced at Suho and Kyeong-min and smiled lightly, saying it was a secret.

She made two teams, Kyeong-min and Suho and me with Eun-jeong.

That's how I started looking for books with Eun-jeong without knowing why.

I thought, if it is a book, wouldn't it be in the library?

But it's like finding a tree in a forest.

If it's a special book, we won't find it there.

I should have thought of that before searching the entire library...!

Eun-jeong and I were exhausted from searching books, so we trudged along until we stopped at the sound of a voice coming from beyond a classroom.

Ella and the boy's team seemed to be having a conversation.

She was laughing through the crack in the door, and Kyeong-min and Suho were desperately making excuses for something as if they were embarrassed.

Looking closely, there was a book in Suho's hand, which seemed to have a lot of apricot colors... Is this a book for adults?!

"Oh my gosh, kids these days are so fast~ I asked to find a book and you're reading this one!"

"No! This is a book from the teacher's bag. I just found it after looking through it?!"

When Suho approached while as if having a seizure, Ella deliberately stepped back and said something like "I'm afraid, I should tell Ha-rim."

Uh... Hmm.

This is Ella's prank.

Noticing the general situation, I opened the door and entered.

Ella and the boys were frightened by my appearance.

Judging by her reaction, she must have been joking around about telling me.

Ella also has a cute side. It's completely different from when we first met!

"What a mean prank!"

When I said this with a smile, Ella shyly avoided my gaze. Cute!

I took the adult book in Suho's hand.

On the cover, a blonde haired foreign model wearing an unconventional swimsuit was posing.

The age was also written in the cover, but 20 years old... Compared to her mature face and body, she is very young.

When I noticed it was a blonde westerner, I reflexively looked at Ella.

Come to think of it, Ella is too mature to be said to be the same age. And a specific part...

"Where are you looking!"

Ella turned around in embarrassment.

She acts like that whenever she's in trouble.

Maybe it's a habit?

I thought that this was enough punishment for teasing Suho and Kyeong-min, so I asked Ella.

"Is this the book we needed to find?"

Ella turned back as interested in my question, and then slightly raised the corner of her lips.

"Did you notice? It's Ha-rim after all."

Ella explained the monster this time.

These days, we defeated a lot of monsters, so we got used to exterminating them.

"This monster is a molester monster!"

"Mo... Lester...?"

"Anyway... It's nothing special. It's not dangerous, and frankly, it won't be a meaningful experience, so I'll take care of it myself. You guys can watch."

Ella explained that the monster is a combination of the fear of finding a sex offender in a subway train and the existence of an old bachelor.

She said that if you give words of comfort to the bachelor ghost, it will naturally vanish.

Ella took us to the subway station and waited for a while.

The members looked at me with anxious eyes.

Is this okay?

Their eyes said that.

Well, since Ella is also a girl, wouldn't she be treated harshly? It's not that I didn't think the same. Suho and Kyeong-min tried stopping her.

However, Ella tilted her head as if she didn't know the reason at all, then muttered something incomprehensible.

"Dangerous? Don't worry, it won't target you guys. There could be no such element in the first place. If an event like that targeted you, this world wouldn't even exist."¹

Ella, I'm talking about you- Before I could even say that, she had gone inside the subway train.

The train door closed with a click. What now...

It was quiet at first.

Is there really nothing?

Ella is a girl, but she is also strong. If she spreads her aura, wouldn't other monsters be reluctant to touch her?

"Hmm? Now... wait, why me?"

But soon Ella's embarrassed voice was heard.

"Kyaaaa?!"

Wow. It's the first time I've seen Ella scream like that.

I started to worry about her.

We ran to the closed door and started banging it.

"Ella! Are you okay?"

"..."

Creak... The door was forced open.

Ella didn't say anything.

Her whole body was wet with blood. The knife in her hand was also bloody.

The ghost has been completely gutted.

Ella had a face that could explode at any moment with shame and anger.

Without saying a word, we moved out of the way for her to pass.

Bam!!!

She kicked the vending machine next to her and broke it as if her anger was not going away.

"Ella... I think the self-awareness of being a girl is a bit lacking. When she sits in a chair she spreads her legs like she's wearing pants, for example."

"Alright... Then I'll fix it!"

"Is this really Eun-jeong?"

"Haha..."

The next day, Ella was running away from Eun-jeong.

If she run away to the mirror, she won't be able to get caught, but it seems that Ella has a lot of affection, so she can't run away ruthlessly like that.

Maybe Ella is the type who is easily swayed by bad friends?

Of course, I'm not saying Eun-jeong is a bad friend!

Ah, in the meantime, Ella was caught by Eun-jeong.

"...Why do you look like that?"

"Huh? Nothing."

The next day, Ella acted a bit more modest.

When I asked Eun-jeong what she did.

"This is a secret, but if you strongly believe that Ella smells like roses, the scent of roses become stronger. So..."

"So?"

"I hugged Ella in front of Suho and Kyeong-min and kept muttering that she was a girl."

"..."

I don't understand English.²
