Surviving in a School of Ghost Stories-Chapter 39

There were various ice creams and sweets in a tall glass, and it was a dessert that looked incredibly fancy and pretty.

‘I can’t believe there’s such a dessert in the world.’

I couldn’t take my eyes off the dessert with my eyes wide open, and Leonard carefully put a small teaspoon in my hand.

Ghosts gathered and hovered around the parfait as if they were excited.

I absentmindedly scooped up the ice cream on top of the parfait with a teaspoon and took a bite.

It felt like fireworks were going off in my mouth.

When I read novels, there were scenes where the main characters were moved by the sight of fireworks going off.

At that time, I didn’t understand why they were moved by such things, but now I think I can understand how the main characters felt.

I’ve only seen people eat ice cream when I’ve been to big cities, but it was even more moving because it was my first time eating it myself.

‘It’s really delicious. ‘I want to wrap it up and let Raven taste it.’

While I was thinking that and feeling moved, I suddenly felt the surroundings become quiet.

I looked up curiously and saw Sally and Erica sitting across from me looking at me after stopping their fight.

Leonard also didn’t turn around and stood next to the table quietly looking at me.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“Because you’re cute.”

“Should I buy you more?”

Sally and Erica asked me one after another.

“I’ll give you one for free, wait.”

Leonard then said something more and disappeared into the kitchen.

Tangle-

In the meantime, someone came into the cafe. The man wearing a blindfold on his priest’s robe stood out quite a bit.

“Huh? Hastings?”

As expected, Father Miella noticed me even though he was wearing a blindfold.

Could it be that he really could see everything?

He strode toward me.

“I met Weston on the way here and heard the whole story. Thank goodness nothing happened.”

I got up from my seat and bowed my head.

“I’m sorry for disappearing without contacting you.”

I swallowed my words because I thought no one would believe me if I told them that I got caught up in a ghost story.

It was also because I had heard from Erica before that Father Miella was the one who was interfering with Father Cesario’s investigation into the ghost story.

Father Miella looked at the seat across from me.

He stared at her with his blindfolded face and then asked me.

“Hastings, why are you with a student council member?”

Erica didn’t say anything, but she knew that she was a student council member.

“Oh, she’s my roommate.”

“Why of all people.”

Father Miella clicked her tongue. Her reaction was fierce. It seemed that she really hated the student council.

Erika shrugged and ignored the priest’s words.

“Oh my! I came here because I heard a transfer student visited our cafe. Is it true?”

At that moment, a middle-aged woman who seemed to be the cafe owner came into the cafe in a hurry.

No, I don’t know how the rumor about me got around to making such a fuss with the townspeople.

“Mrs. Lewis, didn’t you say you were looking for new employees? I was looking at the job postings earlier.”

At that moment, Leonard came and blurted out.

“When did you see that!”

My face flushed with embarrassment.

“We’re still looking for employees! Oh my, it would be an honor if someone who got a perfect score on the transfer exam worked at our cafe!”

“What, ma’am? What about me? Why didn’t you tell me that?”

Ignoring Leonard’s question, the cafe ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) owner, Mrs. Lewis, reached out to me.

“Nice to meet you, Hastings. I’m Helena Eden Lewis.”

I held her hand and opened my eyes wide. Huh? A middle name means you’re noble.

“Ignore this guy.”

Mrs. Lewis said, putting her hand on Miela’s shoulder. Father Miela looked embarrassed for the first time.

“Whoa, Sister. What are you doing in front of the students?”

What? Sister?

“Oh my God. Mrs. Lewis, your little brother was Father Miela?”

Leonard asked in surprise, as if he didn’t know either. Sally and Erica looked surprised as well.

While Father Miela was embarrassed, someone else came into the cafe.

It was a boy who looked like a student at St. Gloria’s Private School, and his face looked too familiar.

“Huh? Raven?”

I jumped up from my seat.

Then, the boy stopped as if he heard my shout, then turned around and left the cafe.

As soon as I saw him, I also left.

“Huh? Melody?!”

“Excuse me, I’ll be back soon!”

I heard Erica’s voice from behind, but right now, all I could see was Raven.

I gritted my teeth and ran as fast as I could with all my might.

‘I’ll never let you go! I’ll definitely catch you!’

Gasp. Gasp.

I could see the boy’s butt running away. I could see his wheat-colored hair fluttering.

That was definitely Raven. It was Raven’s hair color.

“Re, Raven! Wait!”

Raven didn’t even look back as if he couldn’t hear me.

My breathing got harder and the distance between us grew wider.

No, even though I ran at full speed, Raven disappeared without a trace.

Before I knew it, the streets were deserted.

‘Where on earth did she disappear to!?’

More than anything, I was lost.

Whew-

Ghosts were passing through the alleys, making a squeaking sound.

Then, some of them noticed me and pretended to know me.

Whew-

They circled around me and then they moved somewhere. Among them was the droopy-eyed ghost.

The droopy-eyed ghost suddenly stopped and turned around to look at me.

After confirming that I was still there, it moved forward again, then stopped again and looked back at me.

It seemed to be telling me to follow it.

I followed it obediently. I was lost anyway and didn’t know where to go, so I thought it was good.

The ghosts floating in the air were cuter the more I looked at them. It could be because they were gentle and, unlike the evil spirits, harmless to humans.

I walked slowly, looking around.

The droopy-eyed ghost and other ghosts kept looking back to see if I was following them.

They were like dogs checking if their owners were following them.

After walking a little further, I came to a crowded street again. The ghosts really had guided me here.

I was a little moved, so I looked at the ghosts. They waved what seemed to be cotton bats with their hands, then turned around and disappeared into the crowd without a second thought.

Thanks to that, I was able to return to the cafe on time.

“Melody. Where the hell did you go?”

“I was worried!”

Erica and Sally ran out to greet me.

It felt a little strange that someone was worried about me when I disappeared.

“I’m sorry for worrying you. I thought I saw Raven.”

Sally shook her head at my answer.

“Still in the middle of a game of tag. Why on earth is the second Hastings running away?”

“He doesn’t even know Melody. It seems like he doesn’t know anyone.”

Erica and Sally started discussing why Raven was running away, but there wasn’t much useful information.

Why on earth was Raven desperately avoiding me?

I couldn’t figure out why, and it was frustrating.
