~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Aikawa-san, you got your Ofuda, right?”
“…Mhn…”
As we entered the entrance of the haunted house, the tone of Aikawa-san’s voice blatantly dropped.
The two Ofuda given to us by the receptionist had a very common four character words,”Evil Warding(悪霊退散)” written on them in Kai-Sho style, which gave me the feeling of old-fashioned bills.
We enter the haunted house through the entrance, stick the Ofuda on the well at the back, and exit. The content is quite simple, but there were probably a lot of gimmicks along the way.
“All right, let’s go in.”
“Mhn…”
Aikawa-san then followed behind me like a little baby bird chasing its parents. I felt her cuteness as we slowly made my way to the entrance.
——
Inside the haunted house, a different kind of room had been created. Replicas of candles were set up all around, and there were many paintings on the walls.
“It’s so dark, huh?”
“….”
“Aikawa-san?”
“….”
Aikawa-san was restlessly looking around while holding my shoulders and shrinking back. Apparently, she doesn’t even have time to reply.
“Aikawa-san, everything will be fine.”
“Nuu…”
Even though I encouraged her, Aikawa-san’s expression didn’t change.
Her expression was more strained than usual, as if she was really scared.
“It’s all right… see?”
“…!”
To reassure her, I gently grab her hand. I was still too embarrassed to join hands with her, but even so I grabbed the back of Aikawa-san’s hand and gently encouraged her.
She helped me earlier, and now it’s my turn.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m still hoping for the suspension bridge effect or a lucky pervert situation.
“…Nuu.”
Then Aikawa-san came closer to me as her shoulders were relaxed, and re-clasped her hands with mine and changed her grip to what was commonly known as koibitotsunagi.
“…♪”
“C-Can’t you just hold it normally?”
“Uun.”
Aikawa-san shook her head while smiling a little, as if the tension she felt had eased.
(Ugh… this is bad… it’s so soft!)
There was a gentle warmth coming from my palm. I knew that my hands were sweating profusely, but Aikawa-san still wouldn’t stop holding my hand.
Maybe it was because the surroundings were quieter than usual… but I could clearly hear the sound of her breathing. Then her profile, unfamiliar to me no matter how many times I’ve seen it, was in full glory again today.
“This is so real, huh?”
“Mhn.”
As we walked along while making a slightly peaceful mood, the real terror of the haunted house finally began to bare its fangs.
Suddenly there was a rattling sound from the wall beside us, and Aikawa-san’s shoulders jerked.
“?”
As I was wondering, a part of the wall on my right suddenly spun around and something came crashing down on us. I was a little startled by the sudden event that I backed away from the spot.
“….”
“A-Aikawa-san? Hey~”
“…!”
Aikawa-san, who was dazed due to the jumpscare, came to her senses again with her shoulders trembling
However, she seemed to be quite confused because Aikawa-san was shaking like a cartoon character.
“Look here, Aikawa-san, it’s just a doll.”
The doll was about the same size as an adult male, and had bandages all over its body. The fact that it didn’t move at all made me immediately determine that it was a doll.
“….”
“That’s why it won’t move or talk, so don’t worry.”
I said so while I patted Aikawa-san on her smooth back. She seemed to trust my words and patted her chest, feeling relieved.
“Well then, let’s go.”
“…Mhn.”
I gently walked over the doll while holding the Ofuda that was wrinkled with sweat. “Look, it’s fine, right?” I said so, then Aikawa-san’s cheeks relaxed as if she was relieved.
“Come on, let’s stick the Ofuda on and get out of here, okay?”
“Mhn!”
However, just as Aikawa-san was about to walk past the doll, the whole body of the doll… shuddered.
The doll’s body suddenly began to shake violently, and it began to moan in pain. But If I look closely, I could see that there was a machine that’s making it shudder, but Aikawa-san, who was in a complete panic, didn’t notice it.
“!?”
Aikawa-san slumped down on the spot, as if she had been knocked out.
Her legs opened in the direction of my gaze, so I caught a glimpse of her white underwear for a moment.
“Haa!?”
I hastily shifted my gaze and stared at the plain black wall. All the while, I could hear the moans clearly in my ears.
If I listened carefully, I could tell that the moaning was a tape record that was on repeat. I was frankly freaked out too, but I didn’t show it on my face because I should be showing my manliness here.
“A-Aikawa-san… this is all my fault, so let’s get out of here immediately…”
I was the one who said it would not move or talk earlier, so I apologize honestly.
Then I gently reached out my left hand to her and pointed to a nearby door with a glowing green light.
“If you can’t take it anymore, we could just give up and go to that emergency exit over there…”
“Uun…”
Aikawa-san’s breathing slowed down, as if she had calmed down a bit. I picked up the straw hat that had fallen off and gently put it on her head as she continued to sit.
“Nuu.”
Then Aikawa-san looked up at me with a slightly troubled expression on her face
Her eyes were moist and slightly teary that it seemed like she was on the verge of crying.
I had a bad premonition that came to my mind. But based on her reaction earlier… what if…?
“N-No way… are you too scared to walk…?”
“Mhn…”
Apparently, her legs gave out because of the jumpscare we experienced earlier. Aikawa-san then half-heartedly reached out her hand and squeezed my sleeve with her weak hand.
“P-Please don’t look at me like that…”
“….”
When I said this in a dumbfounded manner, Aikawa-san lowered her eyes apologetically. Well, I’m the one who invited her to the haunted house anyways, and I’m not a terrible person to abandon her here.
I could say the same for Aikawa-san, who was too strong for me, but I think I’m also at fault to a certain extent.
Normally I wouldn’t do something like this, but I’m sure Aikawa-san would forgive me for once.
“Then… If you can’t walk, do you want me to give you a piggyback ride?”
I’m sure Aikawa-san would be anxious about leaving herself in the hands of a man, even if he was her friend. Then if I gave her a piggyback, she would be very close to me, and I would be touching her legs and her… thighs.
I was expecting that, but surprisingly, Aikawa-san said, “Un” immediately. As if she was waiting for me to say that, then she stretched out her hands towards me.
(I didn’t expect this to happen….)
Aikawa-san looked up at me with her cute round eyes while her long peach colored hair gently swayed, tickling my nose with a sweet smell.
I thought that Aikawa-san could go out with a clear face, but I was too caught up in my preconceived notion.
That’s right, Aikawa-san was at that age where she would be scared of bugs, and ghosts.
“…It’s all because of how I think…”
Mio Aikawa was a girl of my age. Perhaps it was a mistake to think of her that way, but my heart suddenly started beating out of control. My heart was beating at a painful pace, and my polo shirt was sticking to me with cold sweat.
(A… piggyback ride, huh?)
If we were lovers, I wouldn’t feel any different, but we’re just high school students at our age, and our relationship was just “friends.”
This was too hard for a boy of my age. I’m already so nervous about holding hands… so, if she gets too close to me when I give her a piggyback ride, my heart might burst.
“…Mhn.”
Aikawa-san continued to reach out her hand as if she was expecting something badly.
“…Then, I’ll take the shortest way out of here…”
I said so while bending down Infront of her.
The moment I felt a soft mass on my back, I couldn’t help but inadvertently let out a voice in my mouth.
