A group of three is walking on the long pavement towards the gate of the school.

They are currently at the middle part of the pavement.

If to describe the surroundings more than what is needed, then it's like this, to be precise.

Yes, the pavement is being surrounded by green grass. Along with winds, it surely is like a peaceful open park just in front of the school.

So, the question is... Is the school bigger than the said "park"?

... Yes, because in the first place, it is just a part of the school. 

What is meant as a part is that students can go out of the gate and stay there during their free time. You can eat your lunch with your classmates; Take a nap on some benches; Smash your head with some trees; And even play catch with your human dog.

... The last parts were utter nonsense, *of course". But the park certainly has many uses. 

So, another question is... Can students go out beyond the park during school days, or not?

Literally not, of course. Despite the park not having any fences or something and being separated from the school with a bordering wall and gate, if they will get past the start of the pavement, then it's the end of their day because they will surely get in trouble for skipping. 

Well, unless these people have some understandable reasons, then surely it's not considered skipping, is it?

So, what are our group of three doing now other than walking on this long pavement? 

Like doing your best to focus your flashlight and eyes at the front because there are "ghosts" at each side in the middle of a sinister night, the group is currently doing nothing other than facing forward as they walk like robots, except for the boy, of course...

Why? Are there even "ghosts"?

... Tch, if you don't know, then where were you since the first episode, hmm?

Either way, why are they being like that, you say, my dear vessels? Of the three, no one should feel fear, right? One is a deity who lived for hundreds of years already while always doing nothing except to be at the skies looking down to some mere despicable humans; The other one is a puppy who happens to be a "ghost" as well, not fearing anyone unless they are this shattered-clothing person or something; And the last one, you want to ask? It's expected for the boy to act like what he always does already.

... So, why? Why bother to care about their gazes? Why not just do what they want to do then?

"T-Tin, do-don't ever look at them, okay?" whispered the Shiba Inu puppy walking beside the boy.

"... Kay."

It's because these "ghosts" happen to be hundreds of dead humans doing many kinds of things.

"Tsk tsk tsk, a late student again? He seems to be hot, though... Too... hot..." said a dead woman while drooling.

"Nah, let'em be. He won't get in trouble since he's very... very hot~~ " replied another dead woman with hearty eyes. But then when she finally recognized the boy, her mouth went opening to a great extent. "W-Wait a minute. Isn't he... ISN'T HE?!" she then retorted, following a ponder. 'He's wearing red lenses, but he became even more... HeheeHeheheHehe-'

Meanwhile. At the front which is not that close to the school gate...

"WOORYA!!" shouted a dead running man with a ripped body. But when he coincidentally looked at the boy, he felt surprised and stopped running. "Aye wait. Isn't he...?"

"Isn't who what?" replied a dead woman in her 30s who happens to be close to the dead guy.

"Are you new here? Look at some of those women!!" the guy shouted as he point his finger at a group of dead women staring at the boy passionately. "They are obsessed with staring at that boy!!" he followed as he now pointed his finger at a boy.

'Where?' The dead woman wondered as he began facing the place where the dead guy pointed at. 

But when she finally saw and focuses on the boy which is currently walking along the long pavement and passing through her, she then felt like she was back to being a teenager in love at first sight. "Ho-How... He-He's too much!!!" she stuttered as she lost her balance and fell down. "I'm not yet in heaven but I'm already seeing an angel!!" she followed as she instantly lost consciousness. 

Seeing what had just happened, the dead guy then made a sigh while looking at the sleeping dead woman. "And yet another dead woman seeing a glimpse of heaven. Yeah, you're right. That kid's too much..."

I wonder, what is too much? Well, we already know, my dear vessels.

Have you forgotten? This is the first day of the third-year high-school student Valentin Nobez, the- forget it, it's cringey. His title is embarrassing, if I were him, that is...

The dead guy then runs again. But as he runs, he thought. 'That kid... Even with the color red, his eyes always give off a person that had given up in life. He's even more like a dead person than us already... I'll talk to him once "that time" unfortunately comes...' 

"WOORYA!!~~" he then speeds up.

Well, the boy really is like a dead hot person already, in the perspective of the living, that is... But who knows, maybe he's with the dead already? And also, what did that nitwit mean again, that the boy is "more" dead than them? Really dumb, the dead are even more like living people already. 

Anyway. Yes, he is back. But a "little" different than the last time, that is.

--------------------------

"Haha!! Now, where is the boy?!" she added as she began searching the boy again.

After a few seconds, her eyes shone like stars just as she found the location of the boy.

But, despite herself being a narcissist and a sadist, she's actually pretty smart. So, with that said, her brain then gave her a sudden notion. 'If I'll talk to him while those dead shits are close, they will realize that he can see the dead and might even steal him from me!!' she pondered. "Hmph!!"

After careful consideration, she finally decided what she'll gonna do. While flying towards him, she added one last judgment. "I'll make him mine, mine alone!!" 

Her plan is like this, to be more precise. Firstly, while tailing the boy, if ever some dead people are going to interact with her, because she's a loli, she'll gonna act like a dead student that wants to visit her school one last time. Secondly, she'll persistently wait until the boy will be in an area without any dead people. Lastly, make the boy submit to her. "Easy as that!!" she shouted. 

But where is this secluded area could be? 'On "that" place, of course...' she added in her mind.

Finally, she arrived at the ground full of grass and dead humans. "Time for some hunting." she declared.

Suddenly, "hunting? Who'll you hunt, dead smol sister?" a dead kid likely a 12-year old boy asked the loli in a casual-like manner. 

Well, the kid is big and chubby so it is somehow understandable... 

'Smol Smol Smol Smol~~' as it began echoing in her mind while looking like a buddha shattered into pieces.

But other than the mannerism, of course, our loli will be angry for being called a 'smol' sister.

Realizing that he is just a kid, she forced herself to accept it and came back to her senses. "L-Look, kid. I'm older than you. Address me as an auntie or older sister. Even just sister is acceptable, okay? Or else I'll sca-"

"You look weird, smol sister!!" 

"...Wh-What the fuc!!"

Instantly, the dead kid ran to her dead mother.

'Th-This kid...' the loli then murmured to herself as she began walking like a person that had heart attack just a second ago, following a certain someone far behind or so.

I mean, the kid is certainly right, isn't he, my dear vessels? With a loli-like appearance and a military suit, it's just like a 12-year-old daughter cosplaying her father who may be a military commander. Which is of course cute. But what's debatable for cuteness is that she's actually... not cosplaying. 

Meanwhile.

"Ugh... I can't stand acting like this anymore. I'm a deity!! A DEITY!!" 

"T-Tin, do you think there's more than them on the inside of that place?"

"... I think so. The school is big, so... yes."

The group of three conversed as the guard opened the school gate.

While going inside, a voice of an adult male was heard. "Oh, you're finally here. It's weird to see you being late, very much likely seems this is the first day of school." the guard said to the boy in a casual manner. 

The boy stopped walking and looked at the guard in his front. The guard has light-brown hair, is somewhat tall, slim, and has an above-average look. 

"... Yeah, something happened." the boy replied passionlessly.

Yet despite that, the guard didn't mind at all but instead smiled and continued to converse with him.

"Really? What happened? It must be quite lasting since you always come to the school early."

"... Yes, too much happened."

"Anyways, you remember your History teacher, Mrs. Lira Zafra, right?"

 

The boy replied with a nod.

"Minutes ago she said to me that she wants you to go to her office since you will gonna be late for the first period anyway."

"... Okay."

Then the guard suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right. Because we're not too formal with each other, I forgot that you're a bigshot here, haha."

"... Yeah."

"Well, since you really want peace ever since then, good luck finding it again today, kid!!"

"... Right."

As the boy finished his conversation with the guard, he finally took a step forward, along with two dead beings who were not seen by that same guard. But then, just as the guard went back walking to his guardhouse, except for the boy that is also seeing it, the deity and the puppy are then startled to the point of becoming stone just as the two of them saw something despairing. 

"It's hopeless..." the deity said as she sighed. "I'll just scare them off for you, human Valentin Nobez."

"Ye-yes T-Tin... I-I thi-think this is too much to handle..." the puppy replied with a stutter as its hotdog let out pee.

"... I don't really care either way." the boy said as he continued to walk passionlessly.

So what really is it? Well, because the school is so big, it's none other than...

"What a ghostly party."

-----------------------------

Meanwhile, about the tailing loli...

Just as she entered the school gate, her eyes widened and her mouth opened to a great extent while looking like an enlightened monkey just as she saw something unexpectedly disturbing.

"What the shitty hell-shit is thisssss?!!" she shouted with feelings.
