Taking a bite of the steaming octopus balls, Starfish narrowed her eyes and hummed happily.

"Hmm...... It tastes so good—"

Hikaru Takikawa also poked a ball with a toothpick and put it in his mouth.

"The texture is really good, and it tastes better than all the takoyaki I've eaten before."

"Uh-huh!"

The two of them squeezed inside and ate a small half before they remembered the other three outside.

"Let Haruhi and them taste it too."

Just squeezed out of the crowd, but the three companions were nowhere to be seen.

"Over there."

Starfish saw the panda puppet on the bench at a glance, and then saw the three people standing or sitting next to them.

"Ah, Harumi also bought takoyaki...... Did you buy it at another stall? ”

The two leaned over and found that Morimi was also holding a toothpick in his hand and chewing something in his mouth.

Takigawa Hikaru smiled slightly, didn't say much, and handed the takoyaki in his hand to her again.

Morimi shook his head, "One is enough." ”

"I taste better."

"Even if you say so......"

"Come on, come on."

She looked at her, but still poked an octopus ball and put it in her mouth.

"How?"

"Not bad, right?"

Naruse looked over, "Did you buy it from the stall opposite?" ”

"yes."

"No wonder I didn't see you."

"Anything else?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

"What?"

"Takoyaki."

Naruse stretched out the carton in his hand, "There are two more." ”

"Then let's swap."

Hikaru Takikawa poked an octopus ball for him, then poked another one out of his share of takoyaki and put it directly into his mouth.

"Hmm...... Sure enough, it's still a little more delicious on my side. ”

"It doesn't make a difference."

Naruse also eats her takoyaki and hands the last one to Naoko.

After a short break, the group continued to stroll.

"Ah, there's a ring stall over there."

There were a lot of small things in the stall, and Hikaru Takikawa was not interested in anything else, so he immediately took a fancy to the model of the tower in the middle, which was obviously much more elaborate than the other things next to it.

"This is Tokyo Tower."

Naruse looked at it, "No, it's the Eiffel Tower." ”

"Huh?"

"Look at the base."

She looked at it twice, and it still felt like Tokyo Tower.

"Can you take it away from the trap?"

"Except for this tower, you can take anything else in the trap." The stall owner said.

"Eh, is this Tokyo Tower just a decoration?"

"This is the Eiffel Tower...... You have to put two rings in a row before you can take them. ”

"Did you hit twice in a row...... Not a big problem. ”

Ten circles are sold here, and Hikaru Takikawa asks for ten circles, and Naruse and a few people stand by and watch.

Whoosh threw two laps, both of which missed, and she didn't care.

"Almost."

She weighed the plastic ring in her hand, aimed at the tower, and threw it again.

"Hit!"

Starfish cheered, happier than she was.

Hikaru Takikawa smiled slightly and threw another circle.

The flying plastic ring landed impartially on the tower, turned around a few times, shook down, and stopped on another plastic ring that had just been thrown.

"Ahhh

“……”

Looking at the jumping starfish, he opened his mouth.

"Can I take it?" Hikaru Takikawa asked.

"Can ......"

Taking over the tower from the stall owner, Hikaru Takikawa handed over the rest of the plastic rings to the starfish.

"Play as you like."

"I can't get it......"

"So let's play casually."

Starfish took the plastic ring, hesitated slightly, and threw the first one.

Sure enough, it didn't hit.

But she seemed to let go of her baggage and began to throw it around, only to hit two in a row.

"Wow!"

Even though the prizes were all cheap-looking keychains, she was still happy.

Throwing out all the plastic rings and taking the keychain from the stall owner, Starfish gave one of them to Hikaru Takikawa.

"Thank you~"

Hikaru Takikawa looked at the other three, "Do you want to play?" ”

Both Naruse and Naoko shook their heads, and Morimi was holding a bunch of things, indicating that he couldn't free his hands.

"I'll get it for you."

"No...... I'm actually more interested in the events over there. ”

Hikaru Takikawa turned his head to look, and what caught his eye was one stall after another.

"I'm talking about the innermost haunted house."

"Okay."

She looked back, "Let's go play together." ”

How happy the starfish was just now, how fast he shook his head now.

"I'm not going...... I can't handle that kind of place. ”

"It's okay, let's go in together, we won't be separated."

"No, no, no, no—"

"I'll always hold the starfish's hand." Hikaru Takikawa said.

"That's not going to work......"

"Then the starfish will stay outside and watch things." Naruse suddenly said, "Otherwise, it will be troublesome to bring these things in." ”

"Uh-huh!" She nodded immediately.

"Okay."

Hikaru Takikawa was not reluctant.

Walk through the crowd and come to the outside of the haunted house, where there are bursts of terrifying sound effects like ghost crying, mixed with real screams, which can be heard clearly outside.

"It's really nice, it's very atmospheric." Hikaru Takikawa was satisfied.

Morimi walked to the side and looked, "The venue here is quite large, and the investment is not small." ”

"So it doesn't seem to be cheap." Naruse said as he looked at the sign standing at the door.

"Wow, it's 500 yen......"

Put the puppets, towers, and the like on the benches, and the starfish sit and watch.

"Go in." She looked at them and said.

Starfish ......

Hikaru Takikawa's tone suddenly became heavy, "If we don't make it out in the end, you can go back by yourself." ”

“……”

"Don't scare her."

Morimi pushed Hikaru Takikawa, and then looked at the starfish, "You stay well, just don't run away with people." ”

“…… Not really. ”

Glancing at Naruse again, Morimi pushed Hikaru Takikawa and continued to move forward, "Then let's go in." ”

"Eh, why am I going ahead......"

"Light grows tall."

"Isn't there anything higher?"

“……”

Standing at the entrance of the haunted house, Naruse turned his head, looked at the three people who were cowering behind him, and handed out a 5,000 yen bill to the conductor at the door.

"Four people."

Accepting the change, he lifted the curtain and took the lead and walked in.

Fear comes from the unknown, so the main thing in the haunted house is a black light blind fire, and you can't see anything clearly.

The visual is like this, and the auditory stimuli are also not falling, and the ghost cries for a while, which is very poignant.

In the passage, the cool wind was blowing constantly, and all that could be seen was a faint green light on the ground, so that people would not walk and bump into the wall.

"Let's go."

None of the three spoke, pushing him from behind.

“……”

Naruse glanced back, and after the curtain was lowered, the light outside was also blocked, and nothing could be seen.

He began to walk forward, and the three girls hurried to follow, each pulling at a different place behind him.

"Don't pull my pants......"

The hand that grabbed the brim of his pants quickly loosened, but none of the three admitted it.

"Don't stop." Morimi pushed him in the dark.

"I'm walking."

Naruse felt like a locomotive, not only controlling the direction, but also providing the power to pull the three people behind him.

He was more worried about his uniform coat than he was afraid.

"Woo woo woo ......"

After walking forward for a short time, the incessant throat suddenly became clearer, as if someone was crying in the darkness in front of him.

“……”

The drag from behind him suddenly became heavier.

"I said you ...... The uniforms are really going to be broken. ”

The force in one of the directions immediately decreased.

He stretched out his hand in that direction, touching a touch of smoothness, "Naoko." ”

"Huh?"

Naoko's voice rang out on the other side.

Did you guess wrong......

“……”

The hand that was stretched out behind was suddenly grasped.

"Are you going to let Naoko go ahead?" Morimi's voice came from the darkness.

"Eh......" Naoko hesitated, "Okay." ”

"If Chunhai is scared, let me go ahead." Hikaru Takikawa also spoke.

"What do you say?"

The right hand that reached behind him was tightly gripped, and he twitched twice, but he didn't pull it out.

Is it light......

Naruse didn't have time to think about it, and another hand came up.

Grabbed his ankles.

“……”

A chill crept up from his heels to behind his ears in an instant, and at the same time there were screams from Naoko and Morimi.

"On the ground, ahhh

"Ahh

The ghosts' cries rang out simultaneously from all directions, as if hellish spirits were pouring out of the walls.

Naruse held Naoko's hand in the darkness, and at the same time clenched the other hand that had not been released, and ran forward.

"Morimi also follow, let's run forward!"

The four of them ran non-stop, and the dark road was like a maze.

"Wow!"

"Not this way!"

The direction is difficult to discern, they keep hitting the wall, and keep hitting the cold and silky curtains, sight, hearing and touch, fear and excitement continue to escalate, turning into excitement.

"Hahahaha-"

Running and running, Hikaru Takikawa suddenly laughed, but he was constantly panting in the run, laughing like crying, which startled them again.

At one moment, Naruse suddenly stumbled under his feet.

“……”

Before he could adjust his body, the three people behind him had already collided.

"Hmm!"

People hit people, their legs stumbled, and all four of them fell into the dark passage in one go.

"Hurt ......"

Crushed by three people, Naruse crawled forward and flipped over with difficulty.

Just as he was about to say something, a hand tentatively followed the sound just now, pressed against his chest, touched his neck, and finally touched his face.

"I'm still alive...... Not! ”

A touch of warmth in the darkness roughly gagged his lips, then took a hard bite and pushed him away.
