The hollow voice suddenly turned cold, and black mist surged from the evil spirit staff member.
A frantic sense of danger welled up inside Fujiwara Chika. Without a word, she turned and ran. "H-help! Help!"
"Hm?"
Amamiya Natsuki was still chatting with the Blonde hot girl when he suddenly heard Fujiwara Chika scream for help. He looked up, but the lighting was too dim to see anything clearly.
"That's not a staff member. It's an evil spirit!"
Shinomiya Kaguya's voice rang out urgently. Unlike her usual coolness, it now held unmistakable worry and anxiety.
"There's an evil spirit?"
Amamiya Natsuki's expression immediately turned serious. Without a word, he ran down the passage and activated the Evil Spirit Repellent aura.
The two groups weren't far apart, and Amamiya Natsuki soon spotted the Pink-haired girl and the staff member behind her.
A rotten, hollow, twisted face flickered into view. He could even see the corridor through it. It really was an evil spirit.
Bang!
Fujiwara Chika crashed into his arms, and the impact forced Amamiya Natsuki to take half a step back.
Like a shark that had caught the scent of blood, the twisted evil spirit charged straight at them. As soon as it drew near, its body burst into flames. Even so, it showed no intention of stopping or retreating. It reached for the Pink-haired girl and kept going until it burned away completely.
"Chika-chan, are you all right?"
Kitagawa Marin hurried over from behind.
"That scared me to death." Even Fujiwara Chika, with her carefree temperament, had tears in her eyes now. "I thought it was a staff member, but it was an evil spirit!"
"You're fine, so let go of me," Amamiya Natsuki said dryly. "I can't breathe."
"Sorry." Shinomiya Kaguya bit her lower lip, guilt in her voice.
