Editing Ghost Hunt:Volume3 Chapter1 (section)

===7===


Anyway, after we finished the inquiries, I was able to make tea for everyone.

Principal Mikami told us we could use his set of tea. And that's why I'm here right now, making tea, while Bou-san's being so rude as to fling himself onto a chair and prop his feet onto the table.

"That lax guy," I mumbled under my breath.

"Isn't this really bad?" I asked.

Bou-san nodded, a look of mischief on his face.

"Look at the sheer amount of incidents that occur here."

I looked at the notes that Naru took.

"...There's no way this is happening. Just thinking of exercising them all by myself makes me dizzy. Geez."

He let out an exaggerated sigh and then looked at Naru.

"Naru-chan, can you think of a one-time solution of exorcising all the evil spirits here?"

"Blow up the school and all the people involved," Naru murmered in an irritated tone.

"Oh, that does work. But then we'd have to make this school off-limits for a long time afterwards. Though that definitely is a way to solve this problem in one shot."

Hey you—

"Well, I guess. ...We'll have to divide the exorcisms up between everyone. But don't you think that this could all be a prank by someone?" Bou-san remarked as he faced Naru.

"Maybe so..."

"Huh?" I blurted out.

Bou-san frowned. "You. I thought you'd know. There's no doubt this will be difficult. Certainly, there're a large amount of incidents, but none of them are serious."

Naru looked doubtful.

"Don't you think that this is an abnormal amount?"

"...That, well..."

Naru's eyes, eyes darker than night, wandered the room.

"If none of the accidents are fabricated, then there must be a reason behind them," Naru stated.

...That's right. Footsteps and knocking doors, all of the incidents are strange. Furthermore, for all this to happen in one school is even more odd.

"I understand what you mean... But, what do we do? The client did request an investigation, so how about we first try to find the cause behind all this?"

After hearing Bou-san, Naru changed his facial expression several times. He seemed to have mixed feelings about the case.

"...I'm not so sure of the implications here. However, this doesn't look good. Reinforcements will be necessary."

Bou-san's tone was sarcastic as he spoke to an aggravated Naru:

"Are you calling Masako too?"

In an instant, Naru's expression became incomprehensible. It's the kind of face you'd make when you put something in your mouth, thinking it'll be sweet, yet it turns out to be sour. That kind of face.

"Why do you hate Masako?"

It seems like Naru doesn't like Hara Masako (16 yrs old, medium, beautiful person) much. He's strangely quiet when the subject changes to Masako, so it makes me wonder if she's using his weakness.

"Depending on the situation, it might be good to get advice, y'know?"

A huge grin spread across Bou-san's face.

"I can't see myself living a life off of other people's advice, can you?" Naru retorted.

Waved away with money.

Bou-san's expression was bitter.

"That was bad," Bou-san grumbled.

"Don't mention it," Naru added.

We finally finished the investigation for today. Tomorrow, we will meet up at the school and continue our work.

I wonder what conclusion we will arrive at. Us ghost hunters, that is. Naru and his assistant, Lin-san, Bou-san, the priestess Ayako (Matsuzaki Ayako, presumably 23 yrs old), the medium Masako, and the priest John (John Brown, 19 yrs old, Australian).
