Chapter 554: The Right Way to Leave a Party
It’s the earnest wish of the underclassmen.
I can’t hear you.
Anyway, right now on the public screen
the distance between us
isn’t close.
Do you remember,
the cold and aloof platform that day.
A loud noise,
and Kazumi
fell from the sky.
She landed on the mountain! How tragic!
Kazumi: Mmm—
Thinking back now,
how naive I was then.
I’m actually a little embarrassed now.
She looked at her own face.
It was already tinged with
ninety percent shyness,
and ten percent sweetness.
That
was when I was fortunate enough to encounter the person
I loved most.
Do you remember
this smile is
the most brilliant smile
I have ever seen.
She looked at the young boy’s face, truly
unable to muster even a hint of a smile.
Did the young boy
think
that I was
embarrassed
back then?
After thinking for a moment,
Kazumi added
a little more shyness
to her own face.
Had she truly managed to
add a bit of shyness
to my young boy’s face as well.
Do you remember the time
when
I first fell
from the sky,
my mind was truly
a mess.
At that time,
my thoughts
were also a mess.
This
young boy was
the first
handsome
young boy
I had ever seen.
I was
captivated by the young boy’s smile.
I was
saved by the young boy.
I was smitten by the young boy.
I truly
really liked this young boy.
This period of time was also
when I was the happiest.
I will not forget it.
A joy truly
came from the depths of my heart.
I was truly very happy.
I was also truly very happy.
I truly truly loved this young boy.
I truly truly loved this young boy’s smile.
I truly truly loved this young boy.
I truly truly loved this young boy.
So,
I will not forget it.
I truly truly loved this young boy.
I truly truly loved this young boy.
Only,
I truly am not worthy of this young boy.
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
Am I a bad person?
I am also just a female ghoul.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I am also just a female ghoul.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I am not worthy of being with this young boy.
My dream is to be with this young boy in this world.
But now it seems, this dream is already broken.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I cannot be with this young boy.
I don’t want to be with this young boy.
I don’t want this young boy to know I am a ghoul.
I don’t want this young boy to live his whole life in nightmares.
I don’t want this young boy to live his whole life in nightmares.
I don’t want this young boy to live his whole life in nightmares.
I don’t want this young boy to live his whole life in nightmares.
I don’t want this young boy to live his whole life in nightmares.
“Hey, what are you doing, staring blankly over there?”
The young boy’s voice pulled her back from her thoughts to reality.
Kazumi then realized that the young boy had been looking at her for several minutes.
She couldn’t help but blush a little.
“N-nothing… I was just thinking…”
Kazumi stammered.
“Thinking about what?”
The young boy looked at her, full of confusion.
“Nothing…”
Kazumi dared not look at the young boy’s eyes.
She was afraid that she might accidentally say what was on her mind.
“Humph, looking at you, you must have no good intentions!”
The young boy pouted.
“No… I really don’t…”
Kazumi hurriedly denied it.
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore.”
The young boy didn’t press her further.
“Mmm…”
Kazumi lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s.
“Kazumi, I am also a ghost.”
The young boy suddenly said something, which startled Kazumi.
“What… What did you say?”
Kazumi looked up, staring at him in disbelief.
“I said, I am also a ghost.”
The young boy repeated.
“This… How is this possible!”
Kazumi’s eyes widened.
“Why is it impossible?”
The young boy asked back.
“Because… because you are a living person.”
Kazumi said.
“Who says living people can’t be ghosts?”
The young boy said with a smile.
“This… This isn’t scientific.”
Kazumi said.
“Heh heh, scientific? In this world, there’s not that much science.”
The young boy said.
“You… You mean… you were lying to me?”
Kazumi finally understood.
“Idiot, how could I lie to you?”
The young boy flicked Kazumi’s forehead.
“Then why did you just say you were a ghost?”
Kazumi asked, covering her forehead, not understanding.
“Because I wanted to see your reaction.”
The young boy said with a smile.
“You… You rascal!”
Kazumi stomped her feet in anger.
“Alright, alright, don’t be angry anymore.”
The young boy stroked Kazumi’s head.
“You are not allowed to lie to me again in the future.”
Kazumi said.
“Mmm, I promise.”
The young boy said.
“…”
Kazumi remained silent, just looking at the young boy.
“What I said is true.”
The young boy said earnestly.
“You know what? I… I really like you.”
Kazumi finally mustered up the courage to speak her heart.
“I like you too.”
The young boy said.
“You… What did you say?”
Kazumi could hardly believe her ears.
“I said, I really like you.”
The young boy repeated.
“That’s great!”
Kazumi jumped up happily.
“You little silly goose.”
The young boy said with a smile.
“You’re the silly goose.”
Kazumi said.
“Alright, alright, we are both silly geese.”
The young boy said.
“We need to be together forever from now on.”
Kazumi said.
“Okay, never apart for a lifetime.”
The young boy said.
“Mmm!”
Kazumi nodded heavily.
“You know what? I actually liked you a long time ago.”
The young boy said.
“Really? Why didn’t you ever say anything?”
Kazumi asked.
“Because I was afraid you wouldn’t like me.”
The young boy said.
“How could that be, I like you so much.”
Kazumi said.
“When did you start liking me?”
The young boy asked.
“It was that time when we went to gather herbs together.”
Kazumi said.
“Oh, so you started liking me back then.”
The young boy suddenly understood.
“Yes, back then you were really handsome.”
Kazumi said.
“Am I not handsome now?”
The young boy asked.
“You’re even more handsome now.”
Kazumi said.
“Haha, you’re so sweet-mouthed.”
The young boy laughed happily.
“It’s true, I’m not lying to you.”
Kazumi said.
“Alright, alright, I know.”
The young boy said.
“You know what? I’ve always envied you.”
Kazumi said.
“Envy me for what?”
The young boy asked.
“I envy you for being able to live freely in this world.”
Kazumi said.
“You can too.”
The young boy said.
“No, I… I am a ghoul.”
Kazumi said.
“So what if you are a ghoul, ghosts can fall in love too.”
The young boy said.
“But… but we…”
Kazumi couldn’t finish her sentence.
“What about us?”
The young boy asked.
“We are not people from the same world.”
Kazumi said.
“Who says we are not people from the same world?”
The young boy said.
“You are a person of the living world, and I am a ghoul of the underworld.”
Kazumi said.
“I never felt like we were people from two different worlds. In my heart, we are forever together.”
The young boy said.
“Young boy…”
Kazumi’s tears could no longer be held back and flowed down.
“Silly girl, why are you crying?”
The young boy hugged her.
“I… I’m just too happy.”
Kazumi said.
“From now on, be happy, and don’t cry anymore.”
The young boy said.
“Mmm!”
Kazumi nodded heavily.
“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s go back.”
The young boy said.
“Go back? Go back where?”
Kazumi asked.
“Back to our home.”
The young boy said.
“We… Do we have a home?”
Kazumi asked.
“Of course, our home in this world.”
The young boy said.
“But…”
Before Kazumi could finish, she was interrupted by the young boy.
“No ‘buts’. From today onwards, we are husband and wife.”
The young boy said.
“Husband and wife?”
Kazumi’s face turned red again.
“Yes, don’t you want to?”
The young boy asked.
“I do, I do!”
Kazumi exclaimed.
“That’s good then.”
The young boy smiled.
“We will be happy from now on, right?”
Kazumi asked.
“Of course, I guarantee it.”
The young boy said.
“That’s great!”
Kazumi jumped up happily again.
“Slow down, be careful not to fall.”
The young boy steadied her.
“I won’t.”
Kazumi said.
“You mischievous girl.”
The young boy said.
“I’m not a mischievous girl.”
Kazumi said.
“Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore. Let’s go.”
The young boy said.
“Mmm!”
Kazumi nodded heavily again.
“Where are we going?”
Kazumi asked.
“Wherever you go, I will go.”
The young boy said.
“Really?”
Kazumi asked.
“Of course it’s true.”
The young boy said.
“That’s great!”
Kazumi said.
“We need to work hard together from now on and live well in this world.”
The young boy said.
“Mmm!”
Kazumi said.
He held the young boy’s hand, and the two walked together on the road home. Was there anything in this world happier than this.
—
She looked at her hands inside her sleeves now, her hands were also ice-cold, almost like the young boy’s. Ever since she became a ghoul, her body temperature had always been ice-cold. The young boy’s body temperature was also not like that of ordinary people. The young boy’s body temperature was ice-cold.
—
Could I be a bad ghoul? The young boy closed his name on the tablet, hiding his identity. Am I a bad ghoul? I truly truly love this young boy. I don’t want this young boy to know I am a ghoul. I don’t want this young boy to live his whole life in nightmares.
—
Have I never been good to the young boy? Have I only been taking the young boy’s love? Am I a bad ghoul? Am I a bad ghoul? Am I a bad ghoul?

Does the young boy truly truly like me?
