56 Haunted House (1/2)

”Ooh! Nii-sama, look! It's a haunted house!”

Mio pointed to a nearby stall. Apparently, some class decided to use the old warehouse as a haunted house. I heard that the freshmen this year got some superb skills in special effects too. Might be interesting...

”Let's go, Nii-sama!”, she dragged me towards the haunted house without a single ounce of fear.

Somehow... I just couldn't help but think what is going on in her head...

************

[Meanwhile, in Mio's head...]

'Kukuku... Nii-sama fell into my trap perfectly!'

'Inside the haunted house, I will act scared and take the chance to pounce upon Nii-sama!'

'He can't resist me either, because this is a valid reason!'

'Muahahaha!!! I'm such a genius!!!'

************

”Nii-sama, don't let go of my hand, okay? So you won't feel scared!”

”Alright, alright, Mio.”

I gripped onto her hand as she told me to. Somehow, I felt like this is all planned out by Mio... But it's probably just my imagination, right?

As we started to walk into the haunted house, Mio drew herself closer to me. She is so close that I can smell her nice scent. However, I must not be distracted. I started to walk forward through the path they provided.

”Is that...?”

Suddenly...

”Boo!”

”Kyah! I'm so scared, Nii-sama!”

At the same time the ghost came out to scare us, Mio clung onto my arm like a cute little kitten. Ah~ I remember this softness~ It's tender softness can always calm down my heart~~~

As we kept walking through the haunted house in that posture, Mio suddenly stopped walking. She immediately took out some kind of glow-in-the-dark slab of wood and raised it into the air. What in the world is she doing...?

As I was wondering that, the students who acted as the ghosts suddenly constructed a wall by moving pre-built pieces of wood around us. It appears that the wall is made of wood and is very sturdy. The height of the wall is as high as the height of the warehouse itself.
