Editing Ghost Hunt:Volume1 Chapter2 (section)

=== 5 ===

After Naru-chan placed the equipment onto the table, he connected the wires to an electrical circuit. Meanwhile, I was placing thermometers in different rooms. 

Though it was a frightful task, I had to be courageous and go against Naru-chan. I didn't want to go because it was scary, but I summoned up my courage so Naru wouldn't mock me again. I had no choice but to set up the thermometers. 

Immediately afterward, I was given orders to record the temperatures in each room. None of these tasks could've been done without light. I exhibited exceptional bravery and fought tough battles— all this happened while I sat and recorded temperatures. 

Naru-chan looked at my results. 

"Nothing out of the ordinary... None of the rooms are exceptionally cold. Well, the temperature of the room on the first floor is a little low, but not significantly so." 

Now the lab room looked like a science research institute. Mountains of televisions and equipment were piled up on the shelf and table. 

I asked Naru-chan: 

"Hey, you said that places with ghosts have lower temperatures. So does that mean this place doesn't have any ghosts?" 

"I can't say yet; most ghosts are very shy." 

"Huh?" 

"Paranormal phenomenon often occur in uninhabited areas. So when people move into such areas, ghosts usually hide themselves." 

"Oh—" 

"...In conclusion, we must wait for the ghost to show up. For now, I want you to place four infrared cameras on the first and second floor, and one in the entrance." 

What... I still have to work...

I helped Naru-chan set up a huge video camera in the lab. I set up the tripods on the west and east side of the first and second floor. Finally, I'm done. 

"That must've been tiring. You can go home now." 

"Really?" 

"There's nothing else you can help out with for now. I'm going to leave before dark too." 

Oh— You really are a cautious one. 

"What about the equipment? Are you just gonna leave it here?" 

"It's okay. I set up the camera to record automatically." 

Oh— 

"I keep thinking, you really don't act like a psychic." 

"Of course." 

"But isn't a ghost exterminator.." 

"It's ghost hunter. Don't throw me in with psychics." 

Ah— Is that so. 

What does that mean? Isn't that just a type of psychic? 

I decided not to push the matter. Besides, arguing with Naru was really tiring. 

"I'm going then" 

I called out, waving goodbye. 

Ah— My hands and waist are all sore— 

Naru-chan's voice shot through the air: 

"Meet me by the van after school tomorrow." 

Dammit. This guy is gonna mistreat me again tomorrow.
