Chapter 162: Tobe Screamed
According to Tobe, he wanted Hayato to find a way to separate Renji from the girls. At the very least, Renji had to be separated from Hime. Then Tobe and Hime could enter the haunted house together. Tobe was well aware of the rumor that Renji was a succubus. As long as Renji was there, he would never be able to improve his relationship with Hime. Sometimes, why not look for a reason within yourself? Why not consider that the girls aren't interested in you because of who you are?
Because Hime had a nosebleed, the group went to a dessert shop. They ordered their favorite desserts and began to enjoy them. Hime finally recovered. It seemed that only a few girls could resist the charm of desserts. After all, sweetness is what most stimulates the brain and makes people happy.
However, when she saw Renji again, Hime still blushed. She did like to fantasize about BL plots and get nosebleeds from seeing boys' friendships, but that didn't mean she didn't like boys. Her sexual orientation was still normal. Just now, she felt Renji's warmth so close, and she was scared and excited at the same time. Renji was still very handsome. He also had a mysterious power, coupled with a strong physique, which gave girls a full sense of security. Even Hime couldn't resist her racing heartbeat.
There's another thing: there's no harm in a comparison. After seeing Renji's masculine figure, and then looking at the somewhat childish and flashy Tobe, a normal girl would know which one to choose.
After eating the desserts, they chatted for a while, and then continued to play. Hime also wore a camera and kept taking pictures. She was a girl who liked to take souvenirs. What made Tobe feel bitter was that Hime actually took a few pictures with only Renji. But she didn't invite him at all. But he wouldn't give up so easily! I have to say, he was very persistent.
Hime had given Tobe many hints to give up. She deliberately got close to Renji and ignored Tobe, only talking to him occasionally, clearly wanting him to back off. Another thing, if you really want to pursue her, you have to compare yourself to Renji and be as good as him first.
People in love have some problems in their heads, and Tobe refused to think about it. The only person Tobe could ask for help was Hayato Hayama. But Hayato himself was a loser. Although he was popular because of his extraordinary inner self and the warm image he deliberately showed, the premise of his popularity was that he was quite superior. And was Tobe superior? That was hard to say...
Renji noticed Tobe's bitter face. But he didn't intend to talk to him or help. Hime had no intention of dating Tobe, so if Renji helped, it would only ruin Hime's good impression of him. He didn't need to ruin his image in Hime's eyes for Tobe.
Not long after, they finally arrived at the haunted house. Renji went in first with two girls, Miura Yumiko and Shiina Mahiru, who both hugged his arms nervously. Both arms felt soft and were accompanied by a refreshing fragrance. This was the benefit of exploring a haunted house, a way to enhance the relationship with girls who cling to you out of fear.
Mahiru was still calm, because she knew that Renji had mysterious powers and could kill evil spirits. Yumiko was different, she was genuinely scared. In the dim environment, staff members pretending to be ghosts would appear from time to time to scare people, and ordinary girls would be frightened.
Tobe finally got his wish and entered the haunted house with Hime and Hayato. Why bring Hayato? Because Tobe was a bit timid, he was afraid of ghosts and was afraid he wouldn't perform well, so he pulled Hayato to give him courage and help himself.
Hayato was already very speechless. Tobe, can you be more useless? Although Hayato didn't have the charm of a succubus like Renji, he was also very handsome. Half of the girls at Sobu High School liked him. You're actually letting me be your hindrance? Aren't you afraid I'll steal your spotlight?
"Ahhhh! So scary~"
Right after entering the haunted house, Tobe screamed. The sharp cry startled Hime. She looked at Tobe, who was screaming and running away in a panic. Ten thousand alpacas ran through her heart. She thought she would fulfill Tobe's wish to explore the haunted house and show his manliness, thus giving him a hint that she was no longer interested in him. But she didn't expect Tobe to be so unreliable. She, a girl, wasn't afraid of the haunted house, but Tobe ran away first. Could a person like that really be a boyfriend?
Forget it. Hime quickly shook her head and abandoned that terrible idea. She didn't like Tobe to begin with, and now she hated him even more after seeing how irresponsible and scared he was. You still want to pursue me? Twenty thousand years too early!
When Hime came out, she saw Tobe's pale face. Hayato was awkwardly comforting him. Hime was speechless. She ignored Tobe's pathetic look and turned, inviting Renji to enter the haunted house with her.
Renji saw Hime's softness as she touched his arm, and after they entered, he discreetly hugged her slender waist. Hime's body trembled, and her cheeks turned red.
"Renji, isn't this a little bad?"
"What's bad about this? You can hug my arm, so why can't I hug you?"
Hime blushed and lowered her head, not arguing.
Renji put on a serious expression. "Alright, don't overthink it. I'm doing this to protect you. There's a high chance there's something real here." He had just received a hint. Ding, an evil spirit that spreads fear has been detected, and the spirit eye special effect attack has been charged.
Hime was stunned. Then her eyes lit up and she looked at Renji excitedly. "Is there a real thing? Are you going to destroy it?"
"Huh, aren't you scared?" Renji looked at her in surprise.
"Hehe, what am I afraid of with you here? I'm not Mieruko-chan, so I'm not afraid of those things. You'll protect me, right?"
"That's right."
"Isn't that enough? Now, can I watch you destroy the evil spirit?"
"I don't have a problem with it, but I'm afraid you'll be shocked by the evil spirit's appearance." Renji said as he hugged her slender waist. They approached the gathering place that exuded hatred and fear.
Hime suddenly felt that the surrounding scene had changed. The scenery turned gray. And near the center of the haunted house, a strange fog enveloped the entire place. A strange heartbeat sound came from within.
"Is that the real thing? It looks so disgusting. I can actually see it?" Hime unconsciously hugged Renji's arm. It seemed she wasn't afraid at all.
"Maybe it's because we've been noticed by it, so it's taking the initiative to open its own domain. That's a magnetic field. Evil spirits can affect the surrounding magnetic field with hatred."
"What would happen if we weren't found?" Hime asked curiously.
"If we weren't found, it would be fine. We could leave by contributing some fear. But now, it won't stop until it devours us."
"What will you do?" The girl looked at him expectantly.
Renji's mouth curved. "It's very simple." He snapped his fingers. [Spirit Eye Special Effect Attack Released!]
