Mygo, are you all yanderes?

"Ah, haha, that's a really good name, really good, haha."

Kusano Akira forced himself to laugh, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't bring himself to laugh at the nickname and could only let out two formulaic "haha" sounds.

"...Hmph, I was just kidding."

Chihaya Aine glanced at Kusano Akira, saw his stiff expression, pouted and snorted.

"It's clear, we haven't retrieved it yet."

Takamatsu Akari shook her head, picked up the notebook from Chihaya Aine's desk, and handed it to Kusano Akira.

Kusano Akira took the notebook and turned to the latest page.

"Li Xi... what is this...?"

"It was Xiao Ai who gave it to Li Xi."

The pun was so tasteless and ridiculous that Kusano Akira could almost picture Shiina Tatsuki smashing Chihaya Aine's head with a drumstick after hearing the nickname.

"Then, who named Su Shishi?"

"Also, it's Xiao Ai."

"..."

Since he took advantage of you today, he'll take responsibility for these mistakes later.

You must come see him this time next year, Aine.

"So... she also named it Dengdeng?"

"Ah."

"Xiao Ai couldn't have been the one who named her, could she?"

"Too."

"..."

"Didn't you name the lamp?"

"Ah."

"walk slowly."

"..."

"Xiao Ming."

Chihaya Aine, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly opened her mouth. She pinched Kusano Akira's face and pulled it rather forcefully. (Zero)

"I'll call you Xiaoming from now on."

"It sounds like a dog's name."

Kusano Akira was somewhat helpless; Chihaya Aine's taste in naming was truly worrisome.

However, it's a good thing to see that she has recovered from her previous state. Kusano Akira doesn't want to feel this awkward every time she meets Chihaya Aine in the future.

"I don't care, I'm going to call him Xiaoming."

"Let's discuss this, it can't be this..."

"Then it is Itsumade, whose third eye was sealed."

"Xiao Ming, what's up?"

Kusano Akira flipped through the notebook again.

"Huh? Why isn't Lena's name on it?"

"I haven't had time to write it yet."

Chihaya Aine took the notebook back, she said.

"Thinking about it carefully, I don't know Lena at all. I wonder if she will be angry if I give her a nickname."

Ding-a-ling!

"Ah, class has started, I'm going back now."

Kusano Akira returned to his seat as if he could finally breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the school bell ring.

Kusano Akira slowly unzipped his backpack, but instead of books, he saw a patch of green that he had only seen recently.

Kusano Akira had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when he unzipped the bag completely, none of his books were there; instead, the green ugly doll from this morning was lying quietly in his bag.

It wasn't exactly quiet; it was still putting candy that Kusano Akira had put in its bag into its mouth. ◎∨＝

When Kusano Akira unzipped his pants, the doll turned its head and greeted him.

"hello~"

Kusano Akira zipped up the zipper in a flash.

Not right.

Kusano Akira carefully searched his memories.

If he remembers correctly, he probably tied it up and left it at home when he left the house.

There has never been an accidental incident of throwing a toy into a bag.

You have to understand that this doll is almost as big as a bag; even if he were careless, he wouldn't do something like this.

Moreover, he definitely had his books, pens, and notebooks in his bag last night.

The more he thought about it, the paler Kusano Akira's face became.

Although he's graduated from his chuunibyou phase, that doesn't mean he's stopped fantasizing about the supernatural.

But only the most extraordinary and conventional supernatural events can trigger his imagination.

But a doll that can fight freely, speak human language, and teleport into a bag doesn't seem like a typical start.

Is this Junji Ito's manga world? Are we going to see something like human head balloons appearing the next day?

Or is it the kind of summon that tricks you into signing a contract?

“Aine…”

Kusano Akira abruptly turned his neck toward Chihaya Aine and said, word by word.

"Do you know of any places around here that specialize in exorcising spirits?"

Haha, thankfully the outline is detailed enough. 9〉￡'芭｜‖2→√寺～〉五中转：。

Volume 1: Chapter 22. The Heart of a Young Man.

Do you know of any places around here where exorcisms can be performed?

"Why do you say this suddenly?"

Chihaya Aine looked at Kusano Akira with confusion.

Kusano Akira didn't answer Chihaya Aine's question, but instead unzipped the zipper again.

This time, the doll didn't eat candy; instead, it drank the old-fashioned yogurt that he had specially put in the refrigerator, intending to enjoy it after the band's performance.

Damn it, his flavored frozen yogurt was ruined by something that can't even be called human.

"Hiccup, hi~"

When Kusano Akira unzipped his pants again, the doll smiled and waved at him.

"Oh, this yogurt tastes really good, especially with your chocolate strawberry cake..."

brush.

Kusano Akira calmly zipped the zipper back up.

Now he's not only out of yogurt, but also out of chocolate cake.

Why does a moving doll appear in his house in the morning?

He clearly remembered tying the doll up tightly, and how it got into his bag.

And why do dolls eat? Do they have digestive organs?

And why was he so calm this morning when something like this appeared in his house? Shouldn't a normal person be panicked and confused?

Looking back, Kusano Akira realized that the whole thing seemed abnormal from beginning to end.

The more he thought about it, the paler his face became, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead. Qiu

Turning his head to look at Chihaya Aine again, Kusano Akira repeated the sentence once more.

"Aine, do you know of any places around here where you can exorcise spirits?"

"Uh, a tape recorder?"

Chihaya Aine took the book out of her bag and made a comment after hearing Kusano Akira's words.

"Those places related to the so-called supernatural, anywhere around here, or even within the Tokyo area."

"...You haven't graduated from your chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) yet, have you?" (Shan)

Chihaya Aine glanced at Kusano Akira with feigned disdain, then lightly fanned her hand twice in his direction, as if trying to ward off his chuunibyou (delusional) aura.

Chihaya Aine then pinched her chin and began to think. 5

"If you're talking about supernatural things... I really don't know anything about that. But if you're talking about beauty products, I know quite a lot about them."

"Shouldn't normal female high school students be interested in the supernatural? Like crystal balls and crystal balls and crystal balls."

"Stereotypes are unacceptable..."

Chihaya Aine sighed softly, and then she noticed that Kusano Akira's expression was a little off.

She frowned, instinctively wanting to press her finger against Kusano Akira's face, but then remembered the ambiguous incident that had just occurred, and her movement froze. Instead, she pointed her finger at Takamatsu Todoroki, who was sitting in front of her.

"By the way, why does your face suddenly look so strange... You're sweating a lot, aren't you, Dengdeng?"

"..."

Takamatsu Akira blinked her bright, lively eyes and looked back at Kusano Akira, appearing thoughtful.

"Ming's complexion is indeed very bad."

"It's probably too hot inside; I'm sweating from the heat."

Sweating from the heat?

Chihaya Aine touched her thigh with a strange expression, her fingers rubbing the thick silk fabric.

You know, she specifically changed her socks to knee-high socks because it was so cold today.

But Kusano Akira said that he was sweating because it was too hot, isn't that just lying?

Chihaya Aine handed a few tissues to Kusano Akira.

"Who are you kidding? It's so cold today..."

"You should really go to the infirmary and rest for a while."

"Don't worry, I'm really fine, I'm perfectly healthy now."

Kusano Akira took the tissue and wiped his face haphazardly. Just as he wiped away the sweat, he felt a cold hand press against his forehead.

Takamatsu Akira touched Kusano Akira's forehead with her left hand and her own forehead with her right hand, comparing their body temperatures.

"Hmm... there's no difference..."

"There's definitely no difference. I'm really fine, don't worry, light."

Kusano Akira comforted Takamatsu Akira and took her hand away, but as soon as he did, Takamatsu Akira cupped Kusano Akira's face in her hands again.

"Ming, if you feel unwell, be sure to tell me."

Takamatsu held Kusano Akira's face in her hands, brought her own face close to his, and spoke earnestly to him.

The distance between them was so great that Kusano Akira could feel the girl's breath pattering against his face.

If he hadn't been stunned by Chihaya Aine's stolen kiss earlier, Kusano Akira might have actually been somewhat moved by Takamatsu Akira's actions.
