Mn~n… (Smacks lips)...
— Hyaaa!?
(Wh-What the— What was that noise just now…?)
(I feel like it was the sound of shattering, like glass being broken. It feels a little spooky, somewhat…)
(... Wh– It can’t be. It looks like time’s passed before I knew it.)
(I might have gotten texts, let me check my phone…)
Hyaaah!? Why is this kind of thing showing on my phone screen!?
L–Let me stop the video right away… There we go.
Phew. That scared me~! I’m pretty indifferent to horror movies, but that really did completely catch me off guard just now!
Uuu, just the thought sends chills up my spine…!
Hey, what’s the matter!?
(Huh? That voice…)
My top priority first ‘n foremost is making sure everyone’s safe. Sorry, but I’m lettin’ myself in.
Kiryu-senpai?
Oh, you’re alright! … Tch, what the, you seem perfectly fine, dontcha?
Umm. Yes, I am, thank you…?
Honestly, you gave me a real start. I was out walking in the hallway when I heard a real, loud shriek, so I completely thought somethin’ dangerous was goin’ down in here.
I see. So you were worried about me and came in to check.
Yeah, well. Judging by the looks of things, there doesn’t seem to be evidence of a struggle. The room’s all neat and tidy.
Then, what made ya scream a second ago?
Huh!? That’s…
Well, if ya don’t wanna say, I don’t really mind either.
Ehehe, that’s not it at all…♪
It’s a different type of kindness from Ni~chan's, but you’re so good at looking out for others too, hm, Kiryu-senpai…?
What are you goin’ on about? Honestly... Praising me’s gonna get you nowhere, ya know.
The truth is I was watching videos in my room. I fell asleep watching, so it seems like after the one video finished, it automatically went onto the next one…
It just turned out that a horror video was playing when I turned my phone back on.
So then, when I woke up and checked my phone, a closeup of a monster was on the screen. When I saw that, I thought my heart was going to stop…!
Ahh~ So that’s what scared you and made you scream. Tough break, huh.
In the end, the sounds I heard and the monster turned out to be from the video.
Ah! Could you keep this a secret from Ni~chan and the others? I’m a little embarrassed…
I got it, I got it. Doesn’t look like there’s anythin’ dangerous in here, so I’ll be headin’ out. Sorry for bargin’ in.
Um, Kiryu-senpai. Could you wait for a second?
? Is there somethin’ else botherin’ you?
It’s not that, it’s just that you came rushing in because you thought I was in trouble, right? To thank you for that, please allow me to make you some tea ♪
You don’t gotta go that far…
No! I won’t be satisfied until I do… Please wait while I get everything prepared!
Ahh…~ Fine, I get it. Well then, at least let me help too.
Huh? It’s really okay! I just wanted to be selfish and treat you, so…
If you say that, then I just wanna be selfish and help. I can’t just sit and wait around, y’know.
… Heheh, well then, I suppose I’ll take you up on your offer, then.
That’s right! While we’re at it, let’s use this blend of tea.
… Huh. These tea leaves got a real nice scent to 'em, huh?
As expected of you, Kiryu-senpai. Actually, Tori-kun gave these to me.
Apparently, some rare tea just came in at the store in the Passage Area, and I still haven’t had a chance to drink it yet.
It looks real damn expensive, though… Is it really okay for us to open up somethin’ like that?
Of course ♪ I’ve been trying to find the right timing to drink it, so if anything, you’re doing me a favor…♪
All I did was jump to the wrong conclusion, I wasn’t expecting that fancy a tea to get prepared…
When ya think about it, I feel like I oughta be thankin’ the fact you saw that monster.
There’s no need to thank me! It really did surprise me!
Haha, I’m just jokin’. … Still, the way you talk about it makes me wonder what the monster looked like.
Is the video that came on that one horror vid that’s been trending lately?
I wonder... If we look at the watch history, we might be able to find out what it was…?
Ah, it might be this one.
Let’s see… Hm? I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere.
… Yeah, that’s what I thought, it is the video I saw. Look, next, an arm’s gonna pop out from around the corner.
Wah, an arm really did come out…! So you watch videos like this too, Kiryu-senpai?
Same thing happened to me like you did. It came on auto, so I just let it play and watched it.
It’s supposed to be a horror video, but it’s different from the usual kinds of ghosts. You can actually physically hit this guy.
The production’s pretty typical, though. All it uses is sound for jumpscares. I got bored halfway through.
Is that so? It looks like the monster’s makeup is really elaborate, though...
… While we’re here, should we just keep watching it?
I don’t really mind. Is that gonna be okay with you?
It scared me earlier because I wasn’t expecting it, but I’m okay with it if I know the monsters and ghosts are coming ahead of time ♪
Like you said, Kiryu-senpai, if physical attacks work on it, there’s a lot of ways you could fight back!
Haha. When you say it like that, it sounds like you wanna try taking it on, huh? You’re unexpectedly hotblooded, Shino.
Th—That’s not what I meant by that at all..!
Then, I’ll watch it to the end too. Maybe there’s some kinda unexpected twist to it or somethin’.
Heheh, I’m glad! Let’s drink some delicious tea while we have a horror video watch party…♪
Good grief, those two don’t seem to mesh at all, though…
