SCHOOL IN THE CITY IS DEAD
SCHOOL IN THE CITY DEAD 09

The next day at school Rin and Keyaru were talking together in class about some of the things that happened at the school.

"My father said, I suspect someone is the leader of the yokai" Rin told Keyaru, Rin seems very curious to know who her father suspects

"I also suspect the place that the Yokai headquarters made Rin" said Keyaru who put curiosity in a place that is currently remembered in his mind

"really? Where is Key?" ask Rin curiously

In the middle of them were chatting suddenly Igarashi appeared. Igarashi is a girl who admires Keyaru's figure, and Rin knows that she always follows Keyaru wherever she goes.

"Keyaru, what are you doing here? I thought you were busy with the task given by sensei?" igarashi asked, with a smile that was too wide on his face.

"Ah, nothing special. That's how it is, we're just talking about our duties" Keyaru replied, trying to stay calm.

However, Rin senses something is wrong with Igarashi's attitude. He looked over-enthusiastic and happy when he saw Keyaru. Rin tries to keep her distance and not show too much closeness to Keyaru. Suddenly, Igarashi takes a quick photo of Rin and Keyaru and disappears. Rin and Keyaru were shocked and did not know what to do.

"Keyaru, what are you going to do about that photo? What if he spreads it?" ask Rin, worried.

Keyaru sighed, "I don't know, Rin. I just hope he doesn't spread it. I have to talk to him and make sure he doesn't make trouble."

Rin nodded, "Alright. But I must also remain vigilant and cautious."

After school Keyaru and Rin go to a kendo club to practice. From a distance Igarashi looks upset when he sees Rin's closeness with Keyaru. He gets jealous and gets annoyed when he sees Rin paired with Keyaru while practicing the sword.

In the afternoon, the two of them went home together.

The next day, when Rin and Keyaru arrive at the school, they discover that their photos are already scattered all over social media.

"Do you see the photo posted by Igarashi?" ask Rin.

Rin simply smiled faintly, trying not to panic, "Yes, I saw her. But it's not too distracting, anyway."

"What about you, Keylaru? You look very close to him. Do you have a special relationship with him?" ask Naoki to Keyaru

Keyaru smiled, "No, there is nothing special between us. We're just being good friends."

However, Rin knows that Keyaru and Igarashi are closer than he tells his friends.

Afterwards, Rin and Keyaru talk about how to cope with this situation.

"How's this? All the girls who idolize you hate me, every day I get run over and they say bad things to me" said Rin, who was tired of her bad day at school

"I'm sorry Rin, I can't do anything to help you" said the bewildered Keyaru

After that they tried to remain calm and faced this problem with a cool head. However, the next day, when Rin and Keyaru arrive at school, they feel uncomfortable with the way their friends see them.

Day after day passes, and the situation between Rin, Keyaru, and Igarashi gets more complicated. Igarashi continues to follow Keyaru wherever he goes and continues to show his feelings for her. Rin tries to keep her distance and not show too much closeness to Keyaru, but at the same time, she feels lonely and uncomfortable.

"Duuuuh why did I think of Keyaru anyway?! No, I can't think about it because I'm not Keyaru. I'm just a friend at the school and YHA organization. I shouldn't expect to be her boyfriend either because I'm so weird and not as pretty as the girls out there, Keyaru can't possibly like girls like me. Besides, there's still more to do than dating, right?" rinn said to himself

However, suddenly, Rin saw something shocking. He saw that Igarashi was filled with a dark aura that was pitch-black and full of evil. From there Rin immediately finds out that Igarashi is actually a yokai who has deceived Keyaru. Right now Igarashi tries to take advantage of Keyaru's feelings for her and take advantage of the situation.

"Aaaah how could Keyaru not know this anyway? He's half yokai, he should be able to detect the presence of dangerous creatures nearby right?" Rin feels angry and wants to tell Keyaru about Igarashi's lies. He immediately ran towards Keyaru and told him everything.

"Keyaru" Rin stopped running and adjusted her breathing and looked at Keyaru with Igarashi with a sharp eye

"Rin?" ask Keyaru

Rin pointed at Igarasi and said to Keyaru "He is a yokai!"

Keyaru feels very angry and sad when he learns that Igarashi is actually the yokai who tricked him. He felt so foolish as to have trusted Igarashi just like that.

Igarashi tries to seduce Keyaru again "Keyaru, listen to my explanation first"

"No Igarashi! There's nothing to explain!" Keylar refused it firmly. He would not allow himself to be tricked by Igarashi anymore.

"Keyaru, I'm actually Aika, your childhood friend" Igarashi instantly changes his original form as a yokai. "I feel guilty for leaving you alone, so I want to go back to your side and protect you" she told Keyaru

Keyaru shut up for a moment. She tried hard to calm her mind and heart "I understand, Aika. I still feel a bit in disbelief, but I will try to accept you as Aika, not as Igarashi. I still need time to process everything, but I'm glad you're back"

Aika, a yokai. He is not a yokai who likes crime. Aika is also Keyaru's long-gone childhood friend. He really likes Keyaru. He is currently trying to get close to Keyaru after a long time leaving him. Aika hopes Keyaru can accept herself back, even though she has become a yokai. However, Keyaru secretly falls for a girl named Rin.

Despite this, Aika keeps trying to get close to Keyaru, giving him a gift and showing him her strength as a yokai. But Keyaru feels awkward and uncomfortable with Aika's overly possessive attitude and constantly follows her.

One day, while Keyaru is with Rin, Aika suddenly appears and tries to persuade Keyaru to return to her. Keyaru was annoyed and angry that Aika was forcing her. She wanted Aika to understand that she could not force her feelings on Keyaru.

"Why are you so pushy, Aika? I know you love me, but I can't return your feelings. I've fallen in love with someone else" said Keyaru

Rin who heard that Keyaru was in love with someone else suddenly felt a pain in his heart. As for Aika, she felt devastated and sad to finally find out that Keyaru did not love her. However, she was relieved that Keyaru finally told her honestly. He felt that he had put in enough effort and did not want to force himself on Keyaru.

"Alright, Keyaru. I-i understand. I've tried everything I can to get your love, but maybe I'm not the best for you. I will respect your decision and hope that you can be happy with the person you like" Aika said sadly and decided to leave and leave Keyaru and Rin. Although sometimes still feeling sad and disappointed, Aika tries to crush Keyaru and let her be happy with the person she loves.

Keyaru, continue his steps with Rin towards the temple.

"So, who do you like Keyaru?" ask Rin who is curious

Keyaru smiled kindly "Come"

"eeeh? What kind of answer is that?" ask Rin
