The Kyubei Festival continued in full swing.

"Beichuan, you've worked hard!" Morioka Youko bowed to Beichuan Si as he walked out of the haunted house.

She naturally used the respectful language of a junior to a senior in Japanese.

This made Beichuan Si take a second look at the young girl and nodded in acknowledgment.

It was now noon, and Beichuan Si did not intend to skip lunch and keep struggling inside the haunted house.

As for the afternoon... Nishijou Kurenai and the others were in charge of the haunted house, so Beichuan Si didn't need to worry about it for the time being.

After all, he had made a promise with Shen Gu Mirai to explore the Kyubei Festival in the afternoon.

Luckily, the role of the haunted house doctor that Beichuan Si played wore a mask, saving him the trouble of removing makeup.

Beichuan Si still wore the butcher-like doctor outfit, holding the mask in his left hand, and his right hand carried a shoulder bag containing the Kyubei Uniform he needed to change into.

"I'm going to the restroom to change clothes. I might not come back this afternoon," Beichuan Si said as he lifted his shoulder bag a bit higher.

"Huh?" Morioka Youko blinked in surprise.

Just now, she had told visiting guests to come back in the afternoon to see the haunted house.

What did Beichuan Si just say?

He's not coming back in the afternoon?

How could this be!

He was the main actor in the haunted house this time!

Beichuan Si seemed to notice her confusion and responded, "You don't need to worry about the haunted house actors. I just asked my friends to come in, and they'll be responsible later on."

"Beichuan also called friends over?" Morioka Youko, full of confusion, listened.

She had been sitting at the entrance taking money, and she didn't recall seeing anyone like that entering the haunted house.

"They probably went in through the back door when you weren't paying attention. You can just use the walkie-talkie to notify them later; someone will respond to you," Beichuan Si explained briefly.

The explanation was somewhat plausible, and Morioka Youko hesitated for a moment but finally nodded, indicating her understanding.

"Then, I'm going to change."

Beichuan Si said with an unflustered expression.

"...OK," Morioka Youko sat back down, watching Beichuan Si leave.

Now she had a little over an hour of free time to rest, which she could use to properly relax.

"Today... How many people did I carry?" Morioka Youko put away the haunted house visitation sign and directly sprawled on the desk.

She remembered carrying about a dozen or twenty people.

Yes...

Carried about a dozen or twenty people.

During this period, Morioka Youko's mentality gradually shifted from initial shock and fear to calmness.

No... rather than calm, it was more like numbness.

She had become numb at the end.

Because almost every person sent into Beichuan Si's haunted house was carried out after being scared into fainting.

Fainting, of course, meant being taken to the medical room.

But there were only three or four beds in the medical room.

In the end, even the medical team teachers couldn't help but speak up:

"Your haunted house... is there something wrong with it?"

When this question was asked, Morioka Youko shook her head repeatedly, frantically defending herself.

Having barely dealt with those teachers, more fearless visitors came up wanting to go inside.

Morioka Youko was like a spinning top, busy at both ends.

Occasionally, one or two people managed to escape Beichuan Si's haunted house, and when they came out, they were already horrified, screaming "Don't touch me! Don't touch me!" even when approached by others.

And then...

They too were sent to the medical room.

So...

Morioka Youko really felt it was too hard for her.

On one hand, she had to carry visitors who had fainted out of the haunted house and on the other, she had to deal with the unusual gazes and questions from the medical team teachers, and she also had to fulfill her duties as a cashier, welcoming guests into the haunted house.

This morning alone, Morioka Youko felt an indescribable sense of fatigue.

She propped herself up and couldn't help but look out to the sky from the corridor window, muttering:

"...When will Miyashita and the others come back? I also want to wander around the Kyubei Festival."

Originally, she was scheduled for the cashier shift in the afternoon but got hooked into covering for Miyashita and a few other morning shift classmates in front of Beichuan Si.

Now, those classmates showed no signs of returning.

Could it be that she was destined to spend this Kyubei Festival sitting here taking money?

Morioka Youko sighed.

She was indeed an honest person.

If it were other students, let alone doing so much work alone, spending an entire morning with Beichuan Si would be impossible.

But Morioka Youko gritted her teeth and did it, and it seemed she might still have to guard the haunted house for an afternoon.

While everyone else's Kyubei Festival was pink and enjoyable, why did it become so dull for her?

Morioka Youko felt a bit helpless.

But helplessness aside, she still had to eat. Reaching for the lunchbox in her desk, she was about to take out her chopsticks—

A panting voice came from in front:

"I'm sorry, Morioka. You've been covering alone for so long, right? Let us take over from here."

"Miyashita?"

Morioka Youko blinked in surprise.

She thought her classmates, scared of Beichuan Si, would bail on her, but unexpectedly, they actually came back at this time.
