"Where?"
At Shizu's words, Seele put down her phone and looked in the direction Kujou Oto was pointing.
"A ghost..."
Sure enough, a ghost was hiding in a corner not far from the tram platform.
It was the most common and ordinary kind of ghost. They posed no danger and would not actively attack or provoke humans. They did not even possess a conscious will, living entirely passively.
During the day, they randomly hid in dark places and only came out to wander at night.

"All right! You have a point."
