A certain scientific Saten Ruiko

"But... Pah~ Heizi, you are so funny, hahaha~~"

After seeing Kuroko's face, Saten Ruiko laughed mercilessly, and Makikami Komaki on the side also gave him a look of laughter.

"It's completely turned black, is it ink?" Junko Hokaze took out her makeup mirror and pointed it at Kuroko, "By the way, what are you planning to do by turning Shirai black?"

"Ugh~~ What did you do to the girl's face..." Looking at his dark face in the mirror, Shirai Kuroko hurriedly took out his handkerchief and wiped it.

But fortunately, it was not ink or anything like that. It was easily wiped off, but Kuroko's handkerchief turned completely black.

"As far as ghosts are concerned, this is obviously a physical attack. It is indeed a fake. Hmm~ I had guessed it a long time ago."

"It's too much to finish it in an instant..." Before Saten Ruiko could finish her words, Kuroko seemed to have turned black, and the twin tails on his head were flying like Medusa's hairstyle. shouted angrily

"We must catch this guy anyway!!!"

The three of them looked at Shirai Kuroko who had fallen into madness with shame on their faces.

Makami Komaki's cell phone rang. She took it out and took a look. It turned out to be the notification sound that her elective class was about to start.

"Well, although I want to help, my class is about to start. If you don't go, your credits will be deducted. You three should be fine, right?"

"It doesn't matter, the three of us are completely enough."

"Well, since we have classes, we'd better go as soon as possible. I'll be here with Shirai-san and Saten-san."

"Class? Then go ahead. I'll be fine as long as Heizi is here."

"Then, I'm leaving, goodbye~"

After Makami Komaki left, Shirai Kuroko looked at the direction where the attack had just come from, "I think it came from nearby, but I didn't find any clues."

"No, no, no, it's not just tangible things that can be clues." Just when Kuroko was feeling indignant because he couldn't find the clues, Saten Ruiko suddenly walked out, puffing out his chest with pride.

"Eh? Did you notice it too, Saten?"

Junko Hokaze looked over in surprise, and Saten Ruiko was stunned.

"Eh? Could it be that Senior Fanfeng also..."

"What are you two talking about? Why can't I understand Heizi?"

Seeing the two people who suddenly "liked each other", Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but ask.

The two of them did not speak, but raised their heads and sniffed the air.

"Sniff, sniff, sniff, sniff~~"

"Go here." x2

The two of them ran in the same direction almost at the same time.

"Eh?"

Shirai Kuroko followed him in confusion.

"Wait... wait, what's going on?"

"Found it." Saten Ruiko simply replied and continued to smell the smell and ran in a certain direction.

"Found it? Is it the smell!?" Shirai Kuroko was confused at first, but he understood after seeing the actions of the two people.

"Yes, even though it's just a trace amount, I found the same scent that remains on this." Saten Ruiko handed the message card she just saw to Kuroko.

"Message card?" Kuroko Shirai took it and sniffed it curiously, "Even if you say so...but...why don't I smell anything...?"

"Is it really possible to figure it out like this? You guys really have a convenient nose." Shirai Kuroko kept muttering along the way, complaining about the two people's extraordinary sense of smell.

"Okay Shirai-san, it will become difficult to track down the longer time passes. Let's go quickly."

In this way, Shirai Kuroko, led by two "police dogs", came to the clock tower of Tokiwadai, but when they found it, the sky had already begun to darken.

"It's almost evening."

Walking in the deserted corridor, Fanfeng Junzi remembered the legend and began to explain it.

"The time of dusk is called that time, and that time is also called the time of encountering demons. The dividing line between this world and the next becomes blurred, and it is easy to encounter things that do not exist in this world. It is really It’s the right moment for us who are looking for ghosts.”

She sighed with emotion at the end, but it was her words that made Shirai Kuroko, who had already felt a bit cold here, shudder, and hurriedly hugged Saten Ruiko's arm.

"Please, please don't say such strange things. What we are searching for are just fake ghosts."

"Eh?"

Junko Hokaze tilted her head in confusion, not because she couldn't figure out what Kuroko Shirai was doing, but because she seemed to smell the smell of pursuit.

Similarly, Saten Ruiko, who was just about to tease Kuroko, also smelled it, and then suddenly a black shadow suddenly attacked Kuroko again.

"Shirai-san!!"

Upon seeing this, Junko Hokaze hurriedly reminded him, and he also rushed forward.

"Hmph~ I won't fall for the same trick again!"

Shirai Kuroko snorted lightly, and dodged the attack with Saten Ruiko's flicker.

However, as soon as he appeared, a black thing hit Saten Ruiko's face. Saten Ruiko was so frightened that she subconsciously pulled Shirai Kuroko in front of her.

"Pfft~"

Shirai Kuroko's face was confused again, but this time it didn't seem to be about ink, and the smell was not pungent, as if it was the smell of perfume.

"Saten~~ah! Ah sneeze!!"

Shirai Kuroko sneezed heavily before he could say anything about his complaint. Saten Ruiko, who knew he was in the wrong, smiled.

"Ah haha...sorry sorry..."

"Saten-san, Shirai-san, look, the ghost's body is this child. You smell it, it has the same fragrance." At this moment, Junko Hokaze was holding a wooden doll with the same hairstyle as hers. Ran over.

Then they saw the doll waving towards Shirai Kuroko as if it was alive, and Hokaze Junko hurriedly grabbed it

"Really, just stay still and don't move."

After the words fell, the rag doll really stopped moving, but at this moment, footsteps came from the stairway, and the three of them were instantly alert.

"Someone is here."

"The rag doll is also quiet. Has it left the effective range of the ability?" Saten Ruiko touched the fluffy rag doll, but accidentally picked out a hair. It was not a wig or the like, but real hair

"Huh? Is there hair in it? Is it related to ability?"

"Ah! No matter what, let's catch that hateful guy first." Shirai Kuroko rubbed his nose and took the lead in chasing up the stairs.

"Hey, wait a minute, Shirai."

Upon seeing this, Saten Ruiko hurriedly chased after her. As expected, she was in the same dormitory as Misaka-senpai and was equally prone to recklessness.

"I'm sorry. Please wait here for a while." Junzi Junzi placed the doll on the wall of the corridor, touched the doll's head, and followed her.
