"Found it! Oh, Sakurai-kun, your luck is truly unexpected. Is this also thanks to that assistant?"

"The location is near you; the rest is up to you."

Soon, a location was sent to Sakurai.

A photo was attached.

Wearing the uniform of Ichinose High School, a student from the same school as Sakurai.

"is it?"

"Are the fools who were swayed by rumors and chose to believe them actually from Ichinose High School?"

"Interesting...but ridiculously stupid."

"Did you not even consider what would happen after you actually met your deceased family member?"

Why are there so many idiots in our school, one after another, which is unexpected?

Sakurai sighed, realizing that his current school was far too interesting.

"Well..."

"You're lucky, young lady. You've escaped with your life this time."

After glancing at the person in the photo, Sakurai made this assessment.

From this perspective, Miko Yotsuya is really too easy to deal with.

Resilient, afraid of death, and able to see.

And it was very clear.

No wonder she's his assistant.

They are quite worthy of being trained.

Sakurai snapped his fingers, shoved his phone into his pocket, and shoved an earphone into his ear before walking straight toward the location he had been given.

......

......

So-called geniuses, the chosen ones of heaven.

An existence possessing talents that ordinary people cannot have.

For geniuses, photographic memory and exceptional logical thinking skills are, in terms of results, quite simple things.

Such extraordinary geniuses do exist, capable of easily achieving what others cannot in a lifetime.

Among the students in the same grade as Sakurai at the Willpower High School.

Besides Riju Ogata, a science genius, there was another person who was her equal.

At Ichinose High School, a school teeming with talented students, there is a humanities genius.

It ranks among the top in modern Chinese, classical Chinese, and Chinese prose, making it an outstanding entity in the field of literature.

With a stroke of genius, she can write an article that moves a literature professor to tears in just ten minutes.

A blue-haired beauty named Fumino Furuhashi, known as the "Sleeping Beauty of the Forest of Literature".

Interestingly, just as the science genius Rizu Ogata hoped for a future in the humanities, she expected a future in the sciences.

To be precise, it's an astronomy-related major.

In her future life, she wants to interact with the stars.

62. Simply put, you're going to die.

The girl named Fumino Furuhashi, she...

I like stars.

I've loved it since I was a child. On nights when the sky is full of stars, no matter what I'm busy with, I can't help but stop and chase the stars.

He gazed at the vast starry sky, searching for the star that represented his deceased mother.

She...

I really want to see my mother one last time.

I really want to...

She wanted to see her gentle mother, who had passed away when she was young and whose memory she only knew.

As always, Fumino Furuhashi stood by the window at night, gazing at the starry sky, and thought this from the bottom of her heart.

With a reluctant gaze, Fumino Furuhashi looked down at the stars one last time, knowing she should rest.

then...

Fumino Furukawa looked with some surprise at the old-fashioned bus with a 1990s vibe parked in front of her house.

Is this a bus?

It seems to be the same model that has been discontinued.

why...

Buses will be running at this location.

Why....

Will the bus stop in front of her house?

It's clear that the area next to her house isn't on a regular bus route.

These questions are beyond comprehension.

From the moment she saw the bus, Fumino Furuhashi's gaze was fixed on the bus with its doors open.

I stared blankly at the bright orange bus, completely captivated.

She couldn't help but think of...

It was just fragments I heard from classmates.

Every year on the second Friday of the fourth month, at midnight, an old-fashioned bus will appear in front of the deceased whom they desperately want to see.

By taking the bus, you can meet the person you want to see no matter what.

With this story in her mind, all she could see was the bus.

I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore.

I'll get on the bus so I can see my mom.

For some reason, this thought popped into her mind.

Then...

In a daze, unable to think clearly, she left the bedroom and the house in her pajamas.

Her footsteps were very light, and she made no sound when she landed.

Even her father, who lived on the same floor, didn't hear it.

She walked quickly and left home in no time.

The whole process took less than a minute.

They walked from the second floor of the villa through the courtyard to the bus stop.

Looking at the open front door of the bus, her eyes, devoid of any sparkle, naturally took a step forward.

the bus...

Started.

Eh...

This is me...

where is it?

Coming back to her senses, Fumino Furuhashi realized that she was in a completely unfamiliar place.

The scenery outside the window kept rushing past, and the musty smell filled my nostrils.

This is me...

where is it?

Oh right, I think I got on that bus.

Fumino Furuhashi remembered that she had acted as if she were under a spell.

For some reason, more than the anticipation of ghost stories, a strange fear welled up in my heart.

She subconsciously looked around.

Eh...

There seems to be someone next to me.

Fumino Furuhashi couldn't help but swallow hard, and it took her a lot of courage to look up.

Beside her, a boy she had never met before sat upright, staring straight ahead.

He carried a shoulder bag in one hand and casually rested the other hand on his knee. Sitting next to him, his body didn't sway at all as the bus swayed.

It sat quietly, like a roly-poly toy.

Her pupils contracted sharply, and realizing the terrible situation she was in, she slightly opened her mouth, about to let her instincts kick in and shout.

"If I were you, I would sit quietly and shut my mouth right now."

"When you are in a dangerous environment where you know nothing and don't know exactly when it happened, the next step you can't think about because of fear is often death."

Even if they don't die, the final outcome is often not good.

"Calm down before you speak."

The boy's voice, which was fixed straight ahead, reached Fumino Furuhashi's ears.
