First off, many thanks to those who reviewed this fic, I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here the current story arc picks up where the last chapter left, in which the Class of 78 are going to do an outdoor activity for the Special Educations subject, and Naegi and Kirgiri were tasked to represent the class, and this led to Naegi into talking with the deceased owner's lawyer and managed to win the negotiations, and this chapter will show you what lies at the house, and yoi'll be in a big surprise once you see it, so read on and enjoy!
At the Hagakure house, the scene shifts to the bedroom where Yasuhiro Hagakure is cleaning his crystal ball and is looking forward to going to the said house and find items which he would find value, then sell it off, as he thinks some would be highly valuable so that it would cost highly and that would help him raise money so he can earn a lot pay his debts, and after cleaning his crystal ball, he stared at it and see it was shining and smiled, but then his face went serious as he gets a READING, and after that he gets a bit scared and started to call his classmates to tell them what he predicted, but each of them turned him down as they did not believe him.
Hagakure then decided to call Naegi, and told him about what he saw in his crystal ball, and there Naegi sighed seeing that his classmate is getting the jitters and tries to calm him down saying there is a chance that the prediction would not come true since the said house is not haunted but Hagakure said that he believes that it is, which sparked a debate between the two classmates.
"You're overreacting, Hagakure..."
"No I'm not, Naegi-chi! I mean it...something bad is about to happen!"
"No its not..."
"But..."
"Hagakure...you should stop..."
"Please listen to me, Naegi-chi..."
"Just come tomorrow as planned...and I will prove that you are wrong...goodnight."
"Wait...!"
After that, Naegi said to Hagakure that he should come tomorrow at class and ince there he will prove that the said house is not haunted and puts down the phone, and he went to bed, and Hagakure was scared as a cat, as he is sure that he felt that something bad would happen and decided not to attend classes tomorrow to avoid going to that house.
Believe It Or Not by Joey Scarbury
(Opening Song from The Greatest American Hero)
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself;
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
Should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Just like the light of new day,
It hit me from out of the blue;
Breakin' me out of the spell I was in,
Makin' all of my wishes come true.
Believe it or not,
I'm walkin' on air,
I never thought I could feel so free;
Flyin' away on a wing and a pray'r,
Who could it be?
Believe it or not, it's just me.
Ch. 71: Shinpi-tekina ie
The next day...
At Hope's Peak Academy, the scene shifts to the classroom where the Class of 78 is there, and they noted that Hagakure is seemingly absent, and while the others wondered what made him decide not to attend, some think that Hagakure was scared after being told that the house is said to be haunted, and Togami called Hagakure a FOOL and an IDIOT for believing in such a thing, but Ohwada took offense at this saying that Togami didn't have to insult Hagakure like that but Togami insisted at what he said, triggering an argument between the two.
"Hey! Watch your mouth! You did not have to do that!"
"I say what I want...and I say Hagakure is an idiot..."
"Don't insult him like that!"
"That is the truth..."
"Want me to beat you up...?"
"Just try it, plankton."
"That's it...I'll...!"
"That is enough, you two!"
Ohgami stood in between and told the two to calm down which the other two did so, and there Asahina noticed that Naegi is absent and Celes believes that he is also absent due to what Hagakure told him but Kirigiri responded by saying that he called her earlier and said that he is at the said house to talk with the lawyer to secure permission to let the class go to the house and negotiate what time the class would go there, and by then Ohgami noticed Asahina loking a bit worried about something and asks her what is wrong.
"Asahina..."
"..."
"Is there something wrong?"
"Um..."
"You can tell me..."
"Well...you see..."
"?"
"..."
Asahina said she is wondering that what if Hagakure said is true about the house may be haunted, but Ohgami assured to her that it is not and all, the class would do is take any items deemed to be sellable and then leave, in then would leave afterwards, and this calmed her down and by then a teacher arrived and classes commences, and the teacher noted that Hagakure and Naegi are absent.
-x-
The scene shifts at the abandoned house where Naegi and the lady lawyer are there, and the lawyer talked to Naegi and there she finally granted him permission to let him and his classmates go inside the house and take whatever they can as she told him that up until now no relative came to pick up the belongings and that the house is due to be demolished in three days and is now giving Naegi a tour which he noted that the said house is simple-looking and wondered why it had to be demolished, but decided not to question it as she gives him the low-down about the house and its deceased owner.
"Here it is..."
"Wow..."
"This is the house that is about to be demolished..."
"Looked simple..."
"Yes..."
"..."
"Now follow me..."
"Okay..."
The lawyer then showed Naegi around the place, including the second floor, and he noticed a wheelchair there in which the lawyer noted that the owner, identified only as Shiira, was wheelchair-bound and is abandoned by her relatives and she remained here until her death, and even refused to sell the house, and since her death it was learned that she never paid for the mortgage of the house nor paid her taxes, and thus leading to the forfeiture of the house, just yesterday a teacher from Hope's Peak Academy contacted her and asks her if she would let his students go inside the house and take any possession that is deemed sellable and will send a representative to facilitate the students, and this led her to meeting with Naegi.
"...and here we are..."
"Uh...yeah..."
"No need to be shy...since you are from Hope's Peak Academy...I know you are a good student..."
"Um...that's not..."
"You don't need to be humble, Naegi..."
"Okay."
"Now then..."
"Yes..."
The lawyer noted that Naegi is very down to earth and sees that there won't be any problems in letting him and his classmates go in the house since it is due to demolition and seeing that no living relatives made any claim, she decided to let the academy students take any item they choose, and there she told them that the best time that he and his classmates would take the items would be tonight as the wrecking crew would begin demolition in three days, thus the students won't be bugged by time constraints which Naegi agrees and the deal is set as she led Naegi to certain areas within the second floor, and then at the first floor where she showed him the fire place, which he finds it simple-looking.
"...and here..."
"Huh?"
"What is it...?"
"A fire place..?"
"Yes...but it hasn't been used for a long time..."
"Really?"
"Yes. Shiira was wheelchair-bound and thus could not use the fire place..."
"Oh."
By then Naegi noticed a huge sliding door and asks the lawyer what is hidden there in which she says she doesn't know, and he decided to open it, and after a minute he opened it, where he sweat-dropped upon seeing that a brick wall is there, and nothing else, and seeing that she has given Naegi enough tour, she decided to take her leave, and Naegi decided to leave as well, but then noticed a vault near the wall and asks her if it is okay to try and open it, in which she says why not.
"Can I see the vault?"
"I don't see why not."
"Okay..."
"Well...?"
"Unnff...its stuck..."
"Perhaps you should get your classmates to help you tonight..."
"Uunnfff...maybe..."
"..."
However, unknown to the two, the wheelchair that was placed on the second floor began to move on its own and went to the stairs, where Naegi and the lawyer are there, and the wheelchair began to move down the stairs and heading towards the two, and Naegi noticed it and grabbed the woman and moved out of the way, and there they narrowly evaded the oncoming wheelchair which collided against the wall, and the two are puzzled as to how the wheelchair came crashing down and nearly hit them.
"Oh my..."
"Are you alright, ma'am?"
"Yes, Naegi...thanks..."
"What...how...?"
"Goodness..."
"We better get going..."
"Right...but you better be careful...along with your classmates..."
"Okay..."
Naegi and the lawyer quickly leaves the house and there she told Naegi to be careful though she refused to believe that the wheelchair moved on its own and assumed that it was just coincidence, and Naegi is also baffled at what just happened yet he assumed that an open window on the second floor where a wind blew may have caused the wheelchair to slide down the stairs, and he decided to head back to Hope's Peak Academy to tell his classmates that they should head to the house tonight, and as Naegi left, he did not notice that Nagito Komaeda is lurking nearby, and he is smirking as he is expecting SOMETHING GOOD that would soon happen tonight, and then glances at the house as he sees that it hold a secret and he couldn't wait to observe what Naegi would do once danger presents itself.
"This should be interesting...I really am LUCKY..."
-x-
At Hope's Peak Academy, Naegi told his classmates about what went on earlier and said that the lawyer agreed to let them go to the house to take whatever items they can get and said that tonight would be the best time to do it so that they won't be bugged by time constraints as the house is due to demolition in three days, and the others were in agreement as they get to do some activities outside the academy and sees that tonight would be a good time to do this.
"Okay..."
"Finally...an outside activity..."
"Yeah...outside Hope's Peak..."
"Listen, everyone...this is a school activity...not a field trip!"
"Yeah, yeah..."
"Does it have milk tea...?"
"Are you ready for tonight, Sakura-chan?"
"Yes..."
"I can't believe I am doing a commoner's work..."
"Lighten up, Togami..."
"Hagakure is still not here...?"
"The chicken..."
"Not me..."
"..."
Kirigiri is silent as she sensed that something is bothering Naegi, and after the class agreed that they will meet up at around 20:00 tonight, she asks Naegi to go with her to the rooftop, and there she asks him what is bothering him as she can see right through him, and there Naegi told her about how the wheelchair moved on its own and almost hit him and the lawyer, and though she wanted to dismiss that comment, she is rather intrigued that no living relative has ever came and try to inherit the house, and she suggested that she and Naegi would go there ahead of time to see if there is something going on there or not just to be safe.
To Be Continued... .
