The neon lights and the bright lights of the summer night are like a Ukiyo-e painting.

Drunkards hold bottles of wine and walk along the streets. Dancers wear makeup and sing and dance.

“Dingling~Dingling~”

The clear and pleasant sound of copper bells echoes on the deserted streets. The midsummer night is suddenly filled with thick fog. It is strange and quiet. All you can hear is the sound of copper bells.

“No need, You, just relax. I’m near home. What can happen? I won’t say anything. I’ll be home soon.”

On the street at night, a girl is holding a dessert box and talking on the phone.

The girl is wearing a floral dress and a light linen jacket. Her pink shoulder-length hair is tied up with two black butterflies. Her delicate face is full of happiness. It seems that the person on the phone is very important to the girl.

The girl's name is Nakano Nino, and she is a student at the famous aristocratic school in Tokyo, [Sobu High School Private Academy].

Normally, Nakano Nino goes home before the sun sets, but the reason she went home so late today was because she was invited to a storytelling session.

The storytelling session was actually a gathering of ghost stories, and it was a good friend of Nakano Nino who invited her to attend.

Because it was all girls, and she also wanted to build up her courage, Nakano Nino had no worries and went there at ease.

But Nakano Nino felt bored.

There were no interesting stories told at the storytelling session, except for a horror story called [Shirai] told by a girl named Danji.

Does she still remember how the story of Shirai came about?

It is said that in the Warring States Period, there was a blindfolded tribe named Shirai. After her death, in order to make people remember her, she turned into a cursed female ghost with bells tied to her hands. Anyone who has heard the story of [Shirai] will be found by Shirai.

Accompanied by the sound of bells, as long as Shirai approaches and looks at you, you will die of heart failure and eyeball explosion.

This story is not very scary. After all, how could a cursed female ghost kill people just to make others remember her?

At least Nakano Nino doesn't believe this. Although her grades are not very good, she is a firm materialist after all. How could she be scared by such a story?

But...why is it suddenly foggy around?

Stopped, Nino held her phone and looked around timidly.

It was quiet all around. It was a street in the city, but surprisingly, there was no one.

Moreover, the white fog around was getting thicker and thicker, as if something was getting closer and wanted to swallow her up.

"Gudong."

After swallowing her saliva, Nino's delicate face was filled with fear.

"Zizi~"

The street lamps above her head made a sound, and some dim lights flickered quickly. Fortunately, the quality of the street lamps was good, and they did not go out after a few flickers.

JustThe light was a little dim at this time.

Nino soon came to her senses, patted her face, and encouraged herself calmly:

"What are you thinking about, Nino? We're only two blocks away from home. I don't know what you're afraid of!"

"Hello? Nino? Are you still listening?"

Just then, the boy's voice came from the girl's mobile phone.

The boy is Nino Nakano's adopted brother. He was fostered in their home when they were young. His name is Nakano Yuu. The dessert in Nino's hand is also prepared for Nakano Yuu and the other four sisters.

"Yeah, I'm here, Yuu."

After replying, Nino looked behind her timidly, making sure there was no one behind her, and then continued to walk towards home.

"Nino, do you really not need me to pick you up?"

Nakano Yuu asked with some concern on the other end of the phone, but Nino said confidently:

"Don't worry, I'm on Ukiyo-e Street right now, not far from home, and I'll be back soon."

"Since you said that, Nino, then okay, if you encounter any problems, remember to call my name, I will definitely rush to you as soon as possible!"

After hearing what Nino said, Nakano Yuu didn't hesitate much, just reminded.

"Okay, don't worry, by the way, I just bought Nanatsujiya's sweet rice cakes, I'll bring them home for you to eat, Yuu likes them the most."

Nino smiled and nodded, she was no longer afraid while chatting with Nakano Yuu, and said, she picked up the dessert box in her hand.

"Okay, okay, come back early, dinner is ready."

"Don't worry, I'll hang up first."

"Okay, remember to call me if you have anything, and use my full name! Remember!"

"Got it!"

After chatting for a few more words, Nino hung up the phone.

At this moment, the girl's heart was completely free of fear, and there was only happiness. At first glance, she looked like a girl in love who had just interacted with her boyfriend.

"Hehe~ You will definitely be very happy."

While humming, Nino glanced at the dessert in her hand, and then hurried home.

Thinking of this, she had just taken a few steps when the sound of a bell penetrated the darkness and entered Nino's ears:

"Dingling~Dingling~"

The ringing sound came in waves, like a death bell, constantly approaching Nino.

"What, what?"

Warningly taking a half step back, Nino reached out to take out the stun gun from her pocket, but her trembling jade hand showed Nino's fear.

"Meow~"

Just as Nino was staring at the front tremblingly, a cat with a bell tied to it suddenly jumped out of the alley. The cat paused for a moment, and its animal eyes shining in the night fog looked at Nino. After a cry, the cat ran away quickly.

Seeing that it was just a cat, Nino breathed a sigh of relief, put away the stun gun, and patted her chest with her little hands:

"Huh~ Nino, Nino, why are you so timid? You doesn't like timid girls."

Calm downIn a good mood, Nino was just about to continue on her way, when suddenly, a figure suddenly rushed out of the alley just now, and the figure stumbled out and ran towards Nino without hesitation.

"Ah!!!"

Because of the fog around, Nino couldn't see the figure of the person clearly, but the girl's instinct still made her scream and turn around to run away.

But Nino's physical fitness was not good, and the figure ran very fast, as if running for life, and soon caught up with Nino.

"Don't come over! Don't come over!"

In panic, Nino grabbed the dessert box and waved at the black shadow, but it didn't work at all.

"Ms. Nakano? Miss Nakano, it's me, Danji."

Hearing the familiar voice, Nino was stunned, and her panicked heart gradually calmed down. She opened her eyes that were closed in fear, but saw that there was an ordinary-looking girl in front of her.

That girl was Miss Tanji who told them the story of [Shirai] at the storytelling meeting.

"Oh, it's Miss Tanji, I'm so scared."

Seeing that the person coming was a living person, and a girl, Nino thought of her reaction just now, and her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and she smiled awkwardly.

But Tanji ignored Nino, and stared at Nino with his lifeless eyes with dark circles and eye bags. After a long time, Tanji pointed at himself, then pointed at Nino, and slowly said:

"Next, it's you!"

After saying that, Tanji pushed Nino hard, and regardless of everything else, he rushed into the fog like escaping, and gradually disappeared.
