Editing Ghost Hunt:Volume1 Chapter4 (section)

"Masako-san, what do you think?" 

Bou-san's voice sounded so loud in the silence. 

"She made a mistake because she was thinking too much," Masako quietly replied. 

Kuroda-san glared at her. "I'm not mistaken. Why don't you admit it. There's an evil spirit in the old school building." 

Masako silently stood up. 

"...Are you going to run away?" 

"...Run away? Why would I run?" she carefully looked at Kuroda-san, "I'm just going to look over this place again." 

"That was really not straightforward of her," Miko-san snickered, "she could've just said that the other girl was wrong." 

"...There are no ghosts in the old school building," Masako calmly repeated before walking out of the classroom. 

John looked at Masako's figure as she left. "It seems like she got quite a blow there." 

"Of course," Naru-chan replied, "psychics can see things that normal people can't. If you mess up, then you can't be considered a psychic anymore." 

Oh— Are you covering up for her? 

You... Really just go for pretty faces. 

"Naru just goes for pretty faces." 

I... Thought for a moment there that I said that aloud. 

Seems like someone else thinks the same way as me: Kuroda-san. 

"Why do you say that?" Naru-chan shot a cold stare at her direction. 

"Aren't you covering up for her?" she asked. 

"She has been remarkably successful in her job. I'm just giving her the respect she deserves." 

...Huh? 

"Really now?" 

Oh my God, we were thinking the exact same thing. 

Does that mean, I can get on good terms with her? 

Miko-san giggled, "Well, we think you should treat us with some respect too." 

"I would if Matsuzaki-san's ability were high enough," Naru-chan replied in a cold tone. 

...You bastard, you really do treat us differently. 

Bou-san laughed, "Well— That can't be helped. She can't exorcise the ghost, and she screamed for help when she was locked up." 

"When did I scream for help?" 

"Just last time, when you were locked in that classroom. Didn't you scream for help?" 

"No I didn't!" 

"Oh— Then, then you were howling, right? Like a dog?" 

...Here it comes again. 

If Miko-san were a dog, then Bou-san would be a monkey. [[Ghost_Hunt:Volume1_Translator's_Notes#Momotaro|A dog and a monkey]].. 

Ah—so noisy. 

Miko-san countered his insults. 

Crack. 

The sound of wood breaking. 

...Miko-san, don't break this building. 

Thump. 

Everyone was silent. 

This old school building shakes a lot. If you're not careful it might fall— 

A loud knocking sound came from the ceiling. 

Bou-san looked at the surroundings, "A rapping sound?" 

Huh? A rapping sound... Happens when a ghost is about to show up... 

A chill ran down my back. 

Crack... Thump... 

The sounds are from the west side of the ceiling. 

Crash 

Along with the faint cracking sounds, a loud, splitting sound shot through the air from the west side. 

Followed by a piercing scream. 

The room was completely silent again. 

Suddenly, John shouted, "Hara-san!" 

Eh? 

Jumping out of nowhere, John rushed towards Naru-chan's TV screen. 

"Hara-san fell from the second floor!"
