"I have two services with confidentiality measures available. Would you like to choose one, Sawamura-kun?"
At this moment, Takahashi Yu had a smile on his face, but in Eriri's eyes, he was no different from a demon.
"Could you elaborate on the specific details?"
"of course."
Takahashi Yu nodded and then began to introduce himself.
"The first confidentiality measure, also known as amnesia measure, is to eliminate the person's memory through certain special means in order to achieve the effect of confidentiality."
"for example?"
Eriri asked.
"For example, hitting someone on the head with a stick-like object such as a baseball bat seems to cause them to lose part of their memory."
"This is clearly physical amnesia!"
Upon hearing Takahashi Yu's so-called amnesia measures, Eriri immediately lost her composure.
Putting aside whether this set of amnesia measures will cause any problems with her memory, just considering her physical condition, if she were hit on the head with a baseball bat or similar stick-like object, she would probably have to be rushed to the hospital that day, or even die.
"Then, what is the second one?"
"The second one is even simpler."
Takahashi Yu pointed at Eriri.
"Join us, become an unofficial member, cooperate with our work, and become one of our own, and naturally there will be no need for confidentiality measures."
"It's that simple?"
Eriri glanced at Takahashi Yu suspiciously. Compared to the first method of secrecy, the second one sounded much more acceptable to Eriri.
"Is it simple? Perhaps."
Takahashi Yu shook her head upon hearing this.
"So, Sawamura-kun, what is your choice?"
"I choose the second option."
Eriri answered without hesitation.
Compared to the first security measure, the second one sounds at least a bit more reliable.
"Great, then the contract will be sent to your home soon."
Eriri was startled when she heard Takahashi Yu's voice.
"Contract? What contract?"
"The contract at the time concerned the benefits and compensation of non-permanent staff. Did Sawamura-kun think that there were no requirements for non-permanent staff?"
Takahashi Yu answered.
“Sawamura is currently a special case. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, even for non-staff members, the requirements would be very high.”
"Never mind, we should know the details once we see the contract. Let's talk about the vengeful spirit we just encountered."
Unlike other vengeful spirits, the vengeful spirit that previously possessed Eriri was extremely powerful and emitted a large amount of resentment. It is very likely that the other vengeful spirits in the club area were passively attracted by the resentment emitted by the vengeful spirit possessing Eriri.
Such a powerful vengeful spirit could not have appeared out of thin air, and besides, Takahashi Yu didn't sense anything unusual in the club activity area yesterday.
That means the vengeful spirit was brought in from outside the academy.
As the one being possessed, Eriri is very likely to know something, such as the source of that vengeful spirit.
"Does Sawamura-kun remember when he was possessed? It was probably around the time he vaguely sensed something was wrong."
Upon hearing Takahashi Yu's words, Eriri pondered for a moment, and immediately thought of the videotape that her father had brought home yesterday!
It was only after seeing that videotape that she began to feel uneasy.
"It's that videotape! My father brought home a very strange videotape yesterday!"
As she spoke, Eriri began to recount to Takahashi Yu the scene from the previous day when Eriri's father came home and took out the videotape, as well as Eriri's own feelings afterward.
"It is said that the videotape was given to my father by a friend. The friend did not say what the contents were, but just hoped that our family would keep it safe. After seeing the videotape, I felt very uneasy. When I went to sleep at night, I always felt that something was watching me."
"It seems very likely that there was something wrong with that videotape. Maybe you were already possessed by a ghost back then."
Takahashi Yu stroked his chin and said.
Previously, when the vengeful spirit inside Eriri was destroyed, I didn't feel anything, but I felt that the appearance of the vengeful spirit was somewhat familiar. Now, thinking about Eriri's words, white clothes, black hair, hair covering the face, female, plus the videotape, isn't this Sadako?
What's going on? Sadako's videotape has somehow appeared in this world?
According to Eriri, the videotape her father brought back was a gift from one of his friends...
"Your dad has really made a good friend."
From Eriri's account, it's clear that her father's friend was aware of the danger of the videotape, and might even have watched it himself.
Everyone who watched Sadako's videotapes was killed by Sadako after a period of time. Even if Eriri's father's friend hadn't watched them himself, he must have known about the fate of some of those who had, which is why he gave the videotapes to Eriri's father, trying to find a scapegoat or something.
Of course, the possibility of it being intentional cannot be ruled out; an investigation afterward will reveal the truth.
The most crucial thing now is that videotape, which is an important tool for spreading Sadako's power.
It is currently unknown how many people have come into contact with or even watched the videotapes, but as long as the source is controlled, the problem will not be difficult to solve.
Although he had previously eliminated Sadako who was possessing Eriri's body, Takahashi Yu suspected that Sadako was just an illusion, and that the real Sadako might still be residing in the videotape.
"I remember that videotape was kept in my mother's bedroom!"
After hearing Takahashi Yu's analysis, Eriri immediately became anxious. After all, she had been possessed by a vengeful spirit just by glancing at the videotape yesterday, and that videotape had been placed directly in her mother's bedroom...
"Don't worry, being possessed won't cause any major problems. The power of that vengeful spirit likely has some kind of triggering mechanism. As long as you don't meet certain conditions, you might never trigger the power of that vengeful spirit, even in your entire life."
Seeing Eriri's anxious expression, Takahashi Yu offered words of comfort.
"The most urgent thing now is to investigate the friend who gave your father the videotape and find out how the videotape came about. As for the videotape itself, we can go to your house with you after school."
"Well, I know..."
Upon hearing this, Eriri nodded, then looked at Takahashi Yu and bowed again.
"Although I have already said so, I am still very grateful for your help, Chairman Takahashi."
"As I've said before, this is something I was originally going to do."
"It's different. Without you, perhaps I and my parents would have died mysteriously. Regardless of the reason, this is the gratitude we should express."
Looking at Eriri, who was standing solemnly in front of him, Takahashi Yu couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
If he remembered correctly, this golden retriever was supposed to be a tsundere, right? How come he doesn't seem tsundere at all?
Chapter 16: If we could have taken a private car service, why did we get into a taxi?
After leaving the rooftop, Takahashi Yu said goodbye to Eriri, leaving behind the words, "Don't leave after school, wait for me in the art club classroom."
Regarding the source of Sadako's videotape, he had already called someone to investigate while he was on the rooftop. As for the videotape itself, it's not dangerous for the time being, so he'll leave it at Eriri's house for now. He'll personally go with Eriri to deal with it after school.
As for now, he hasn't forgotten that Kato Megumi, whom he had arranged to have lunch with, is still waiting for him.
Arriving at the roadside lined with cherry blossoms by the playground, the girl was sitting quietly on a bench with their lunchboxes beside her. Students occasionally walked by, but they ignored her, and the girl did not pay any attention to these passersby.
Upon seeing Takahashi Yu's arrival, Kato Megumi turned her head away.
"Have things been sorted out?"
"Ah, it wasn't a big deal to begin with, and it was quite easy to handle."
Takahashi Yu answered and sat down next to Kato Megumi.
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi nodded and then handed Takahashi Yu a bento box.
And so, the two began their meal on a bench shaded by trees.
During this time, Kato Megumi ate her food silently, hardly saying a word, while Takahashi Yu was thinking about Sadako's videotape. Although she would occasionally try to start a conversation, she wasn't very serious about it.
The uneventful lunch ended quickly, and the two cleaned up their dishes and returned to the classroom.
......
......
After finishing her afternoon classes, Takahashi Yu ended her student council work early today. Shinomiya Kaguya, Ishigami Yu, Fujiwara Chika, and others either went home or went to their clubs.
Takahashi Yu arrived at the entrance of the art club and glanced inside.
Inside the club, Eriri, who had been keeping an eye on the door, immediately stood up without making a sound when she saw Takahashi Yu appear. She said goodbye to everyone in the club and then left the club room to reunite with Takahashi Yu.
"Are we going to deal with the videotapes in my house now?"
As soon as she left the club, Eriri couldn't wait to ask a question.
"You don't mean you want to leave that thing in your house, do you?"
Takahashi Yu countered with a question.
"Who would want to leave something so dangerous at home? You should handle it, Chairman."
Eriri quickly denied it.
Are you kidding me? Keeping something like that in your own home is like an old man hanging himself – it's like he's tired of living! It's safer to leave it to professionals.
"In that case, lead the way quickly."
"I, I know."
Eriri obediently walked ahead to lead the way, explaining as she went.
"My home isn't close to Sooji College, so I usually take the tram to get to and from school. In special circumstances, I'll consider taking a taxi to save time..."
Halfway through her sentence, Eriri suddenly turned to look at Takahashi Yu.
"Speaking of which, Chairman, you should know how to take the tram and taxi, right?"
Upon hearing this, Takahashi Yu's lips twitched involuntarily.
