Realizer of Death : The Reaper

Chapter 171 171

Six days passed in the blink of an eye, and the cultural festival began. The event will be held for two consecutive days at the weekend, and all schools in Japan will celebrate it. The students at Suisei High School have finished their final preparations and are ready to receive the visitors.

The classrooms inside the school building have been transformed into various places. It becomes a cafe, haunted house, mini theater hall, casino, etc. Besides that, there are also band concerts and performances from various clubs in the schoolyard.

Tenku had done all his assignments in class C, and he wasn't part of the students who would become ghosts. Thus, he was free to do anything on the cultural festival day.

He decided to sell crispy tofu at one of the snack booths on the school grounds. Tenku got permission quickly from the student council thanks to help from Setsuka and Kaede. He was alone in that place because his friends were busy at their events.

Noboru and Takaya must become ghosts in a haunted house. They were chosen because they were the laziest in their duties the past week. Akina has to be a maid in her cafe but sends him messages periodically.

Tenku replied and informed her that he, Takaya, and Noboru might be unable to come to her cafe because they had busy at the cultural festival. Luckily, Akina didn't mind that.

Apart from Akina, Tenku also received messages from Wang Ruyue, Huang Yuxin, Setsuka, and even Kohana. It left him a little overwhelmed.

Tenku looked at the cultural festival handbook at Suisei High School and saw information about the other classes. Class A is the class of Akio and Asuka. They staged a drama with the theme of heroes, while the Setsuka class created a maid cafe with a more luxurious concept than the other classes.

Right after Tenku served crispy tofu at his booth, he noticed many people had entered the Suisei High School area. They were from the neighborhood around the school, and a few stopped by Tenku's booth after smelling the delicious aroma of his crispy tofu.

Luckily, the queue wasn't long, and he could prepare another crispy tofu after the one he served at his booth ran out.

"Haa…" Tenku sighed and sat on the chair. He was overwhelmed by the number of visitors coming to his boot. The more time passed, the more crowded the cultural festival at Suisei High School was.

Tenku saw that the schoolyard was full of visitors from neighbors and other places. When Tenku watched the people passing by in front of his booth, he heard a cute, familiar voice.

"Big brothers!" A little girl ran cutely toward Tenku. She is Kohana, and her voice attracts the attention of those around her.

Fortunately, no one recognized her because Kohana wore a shrine maiden outfit and covered half her face with a fox mask. Even so, that couldn't hide how adorable she was.

Kohana wore it on orders from Setsuka because she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Tenku. If someone in that place recognized Kohana and saw her with Tenku, strange gossip would spread around the school. Setsuka didn't mind that, but Tenku would get in trouble with the other students. She didn't want that to happen.

"What are you doing here, Kohana? Shouldn't your school have a learning exhibition?" Tenku's face softened when he saw the little girl.

"Yes, there is indeed a learning exhibition at Suisei Elementary School. But it's boring for me. So I came here to meet you and big sister." Kohana held Tenku's hand coquettishly and smiled broadly.

"How did you know that I opened a booth here?" Tenku stroked Kohana's head gently.

"Big sister told me. She said that you open a crispy tofu booth in the schoolyard, and I can come to see you if you're not busy. Fortunately, I came at the right time. But it's tough to find your booth in such a big place, making me tired." Kohana pouted and suddenly hugged him.

Tenku shook his head when he saw her behavior. His relationship with Kohana becomes so close, and they look like a real sibling. Because of that, Kohana didn't hold back when she was with Tenku.

"In that case, I will accompany you to the events at Suisei High School one by one. But I have to sell all this crispy tofu first. How?" Tenku sighed, knowing what the little girl wanted.

"Yay! Then, I'll help you sell the crispy tofu here!" Kohana jumped for joy after hearing his words. Then she helped Tenku to attract visitors from around her. With her costume and cuteness, Kohana quickly gathered people at Tenku's booth, and it didn't take long for all the tofu crispy to be sold out before noon.

After Tenku closed his booth, he left the school grounds with Kohana holding his hand. The little girl did not forget to buy snacks at the booth they passed.

"So, where are you going to go first?" Tenku looked at Kohana and asked.

"I want to come to your class!" Kohana replied. Originally she wanted to come to Setsuka's class and see her older sister in a maid uniform. But she could go there after being satisfied visiting all the events at Suisei High School, and her first goal was Tenku's class.

"The event in my class is a haunted house, and all the ghosts are scary. Do you dare enter into that place?" Tenku grinned and tried to scare Kohana away. The little girl's body trembled, and her face inside the mask turned pale upon hearing that.

"Are you sure?" Tenku asked to confirm her words.

"I'm sure! I'm not afraid of ghosts!" Kohana said confidently, but her grip on Tenku got tighter.

"Okay. Since you are not afraid of ghosts, we will come to my class." Tenku chuckled when he saw Kohana nodding in fear.

Not long after, Tenku arrived in front of his classroom and saw that the student guarding the entrance of the haunted house was Takaya.

"Why are you guarding this place? Aren't you supposed to be a ghost with Noboru?" Tenku asked.

"I am not fit to be a ghost. Thus, Chisato switched my role to another student. By the way, who is this little girl? I remember that you don't have siblings or neighbors this age. Could it be this little girl is your taste? I didn't think you were a lolicon…." Takaya looked at Kohana and Tenku in turn. But before he could continue his words, Tenku punched him on the head.

"Argh! Why did you hit me!?" Takaya complained while rubbing his head. Tenku barely used strength in that punch, but Takaya still felt the pain.

"That is your punishment for having strange thoughts about me. This little girl is my next-door neighbor. He came here with her parents, and they asked me to look after her. I was giving her a tour of Suisei High School and intended to visit every event in all classes." Tenku explained.

"I see. I think your taste is a bit off, and liking little girls because you don't like girls your age. But it turned out to be just a misunderstanding." Takaya nodded after hearing that. Then he heard Kohana laugh at his words.

"What's your name, little girl?" Takaya looked at Kohana and asked.

"My name is Hana! Today I'm on a date with my big brother and intend to visit all events at this school!" Kohana bowed her head to Takaya and introduced herself.

"Ahaha... Alright, Hana. I am your big brother's friend, so you can call me brother Takaya." Takaya laughed because he felt that Kohana was adorable after hearing her voice.

"I understand, brother Takaya!" Kohana nodded in response.

"Good girl! By the way, why are you wearing a mask? You'd better open it before entering the haunted house to have a better view of the terrifying sights inside." Takaya was curious about Kohana's face.

"I wore this mask on my parent's orders. So I can't let go of it without their permission. Therefore, I will enter the haunted house wearing a mask. I'm sorry." Kohana said apologetically. It was the answer Setsuka made for her if someone asked her to take off her fox mask.

"Ah, that doesn't matter. If it is an order from your parents, then you must obey it. Then you can enter the haunted house. I've written your name in the visitor's book. Please enjoy the spooky sight of this haunted house and show your fear." Takaya smiled after hearing Kohana's answer. Not only was the little girl adorable, but she was obedient to her parents. It amazed him.

"Thank you, brother Takaya!" Kohana said excitedly because she couldn't wait to get inside the haunted house. Even though she is afraid, she has Tenku, who will protect her. Because of that, Kohana dared to enter the haunted house and was sure that everything would be fine as long as Tenku was with her.

"In that case, I'll accompany Hana inside. Please continue your duties as the guardian of the haunted house's entrance." Tenku said to Takaya. He wanted to leave the place, but he suddenly stopped his footsteps.

"Ah, don't forget to come to Akina's class after you have some free time. She asked you and Noboru to visit her maid cafe." Tenku left those words to Takaya and entered the haunted house with Kohana.

"I will come to the place no matter what!" Takaya replied with fiery eyes.

After entering the haunted house, Kohana clings to Tenku when she notices the sinister atmosphere around her. Even though she had mustered up her courage, her body still trembled with fear. When a ghost suddenly appeared, Kohana would scream cutely, hug Tenku tightly, and refuse to go deeper into the haunted house.

Tenku smiled when he saw that. He rubbed Kohana's head to calm her down. Tenku tries to convince the little girl that the ghosts aren't scary and won't hurt her because he's with her.

Kohana finally released her hug from Tenku after hearing his words. They decide to continue their exploration of the haunted house, and Kohana gets bolder when she sees the ghosts.

Fifteen minutes later, Tenku and Kohana came out of the haunted house. Then they decided to visit the events of the first year class one after another, and the last was class A. Both of them had come to the maid cafe from Akina's class. Unfortunately, the girl was not there.

After that, Kohana and Tenku intend to visit the event in the second year, and the first is Setsuka class. When Kohana and Tenku entered the classroom, they were greeted by girls in maid uniforms, two of them being Kaede and Setsuka.

"Welcome, master."
