Chapter 292: Sajuna Feeds the Tiger with Her Own Body (15)

　　"You're talking nonsense!"

　　The wraith loli reacted quickly, jumped down from the ceiling, bared her teeth viciously, and said, "I won't show my underwear!"

　　Amamiya said without changing his expression:

　　"Komi-san also saw it. If you don't believe me, ask her."

　　"…"

　　Upon hearing this, Komi opened her eyes wide and was about to shake her head when Amamiya quietly pinched her fingers. She immediately stiffened her body, her pretty face flushed, and she stopped talking.

　　"Impossible." Hanako had a ferocious look on her face, holding her waist with both hands, and said, "I'm not wearing panties at all, how could you see them?"

　　Oh my god, she's not wearing any.

　　I didn't realize that you are still a free-spirited loli!

　　"What are you talking about?" Amamiya asked in a puzzled tone, "You were clearly wearing panties, why are you saying you weren't?"

　　"…"

　　Looking at Amamiya's confident expression, the wraith loli showed a look of confusion and bewilderment on her face.

　　Did I really wear panties?

　　Why don't I have any impression at all?

　　But the man in front of her said that she was wearing...

　　The wraith loli made a decision quickly.

　　You can tell whether it is worn or not at a glance.

　　As a ghost story, Loli Hanako doesn't have much shame, or it can be said that human emotions have become quite weak, and the emotion of shyness no longer exists, so -

　　In front of Amamiya and Komi, she grabbed the hem of her skirt with her two little hands and lifted it up, ready to take a look at whether she was wearing panties or not.

　　Seeing this scene, Komi suddenly became anxious.

　　Although the Hanako in front of them was a ghost, she still maintained a general human appearance. Such a little loli, who was only seven or eight years old, lifted up her skirt in front of a boy to prove her innocence. It was too bad no matter how you thought about it!

　　It's terrible to accidentally show your underwear.

　　It would be even worse if you didn't wear one!

　　Komi quickly turned her head and cast a look at Amamiya for help.

　　"You want me to stop Hanako?"

　　Amamiya guessed.

　　Komi nodded quickly.

　　Amamiya looked at Hanako and stretched out his hand to stop her, saying, "Stop lifting it up. I believe you are not wearing panties."

　　"Human, I don't believe you!"

　　"…"

　　The wraith loli glared at him and lifted her skirt faster, revealing her two thick legs.

　　Keep going up.

　　The knees were soon exposed.

　　Then there are the plump thighs...

　　Seeing that his identity was about to be verified, Komi finally broke free from his restraints, clenched his left fist and pressed it against his chest, summoning up his courage and whispering:

　　"No, don't!"

　　Amamiya looked over in surprise: "You actually spoke?"

　　Although the voice was very small, it had to be said that the voice of this girl with long black hair was unexpectedly nice, as melodious and clear as an oriole, lingering in the ears.

　　Komi's pretty face quickly turned red, and she looked at Hanako nervously: "No, don't..."

　　Unfortunately it's useless.

　　Hanako raised her little face, showing two rows of teeth, looking very rebellious:

　　"Human, you said no, but I'm going to do it anyway."

Crash!

The classroom door suddenly slammed open. 

A pink haired girl stepped out and collided with Hanako. "What are you all talking about? It sounds so lively... Huh? Hanako-chan? Are you okay?" 

Following closely behind Chika was another pink-haired girl, Sajuna. 

The petite, legal loli strode toward Amamiya, her expression stern. Placing one hand on her hip, she tilted her head up to glare at him, her voice sharp: 

"What exactly did you do?" 

"I didn't do anything," Amamiya replied innocently. 

"You're lying. I heard everything!" Sajuna ground her teeth in frustration. "Komi-san is so shy and reserved, but she was so flustered she actually said 'no' just now. You 'must' have bullied her, right?" 

"Seeing is believing," Amamiya countered calmly, turning to the quiet, long-haired girl. "Komi-san, did I bully you?" 

Komi immediately shook her head. 

"That proves nothing," Sajuna retorted. "Komi-san is too timid to admit it even if she 'was' bullied." Taking a breath, her pink lips tightened with resolve. "Fine. If you're going to pick on her, take it out on me instead." 

Her words were bold, even if her small frame betrayed a flicker of hesitation. 

'Though Komi and I aren't in the same class,' Sajuna thought, 'we're still schoolmates. Meeting here in a horror game must be fate. If sacrificing myself is the only way to protect her, then so be it!' 

Amamiya blinked, startled by her declaration. Then, with a sly smile, he replied, "I appreciate self-sacrifice for friends. If that's your decision, I won't bully Komi-san again… but you'd better be ready." 

"W-What are you planning to do?" Sajuna stammered, wary now. 

"Whatever it is you're imagining," Amamiya teased. 

Sajuna's cheeks flushed deep red. "I didn't imagine 'anything'! You pervert!" 

"No, you definitely did."

"Obscene!" 

Komi: "…" 

What are they even talking about? None of this makes sense. 

Meanwhile, Chika helped Hanako to her feet, concern etched across her face. "What happened?" 

Hanako pointed an accusatory finger at Amamiya. "That human said I was naked!" 

Chika puffed her cheeks indignantly, stepping up to Amamiya. "Amamiya-kun! Hanako is just a child!" 

"A child? Who can run around the ceiling?" Amamiya quipped, shrugging. "Besides, it's an anti-gravity skirt. It wouldn't show anything." 

"..."

Sajuna, eavesdropping, flushed again as her imagination ran wild. Her hands instinctively gripped her own skirt's hem. How shameless, she thought, tricking someone as innocent as Hanako into something like that! Shooting Amamiya an indignant glare, she retreated into the classroom to hide her embarrassment. 

---

Moments later, Komi's hand was finally released from Amamiya's grip. 

The long-haired girl quickly tucked her hands behind her back, staring down at her shoes in silence, her face burning with mortification. 

Amamiya casually walked to the classroom door and peeked inside. A dim candle flickered, its light casting soft shadows on the walls. It wasn't much—a convenience store purchase—but it was enough to chase away the dark. 

The room had grown considerably more organized in just a few minutes. Tables and chairs were stacked neatly in one corner to create a spacious area. Someone had even set up a small tent, though its owner remained unknown. 

With his task complete, Amamiya called out to the group: "The skill copy is finished. Who's coming with me to the next dimension?" 

"Me, me, me!" Umi raised her hand enthusiastically. "Amamiya-kun and I will go together!" 

No one else spoke, allowing Umi's enthusiasm to settle the matter. 

"Hanako-chan, where's the Thirteenth Step now?" Chika asked gently. 

The ghostly loli crossed her arms and pouted before responding reluctantly, "In the east corridor on the second floor." 

"Perfect!" Chika said cheerfully. "Let's go!"
