"Pervert!"
Inside the Office.
Miko wore a secretary's outfit somewhat awkwardly, with black stockings on her legs. This mature attire was something she couldn't have imagined at her age.
She had previously thought Bai Ye was a gentleman and that she had misunderstood him.
Indeed, she was still too young.
"Miko, you clean up this place first, then organize the things here. I'm going out to eat. What do you want? I'll bring you something back."
Bai Ye sized up Miko. What was it called, 'a feast for the eyes'? Looking closely, it seemed that apart from her figure not being exceptionally good, everything else was quite nice.
Especially seeing a JK girl dressed as a secretary, her slightly embarrassed expression made Bai Ye feel a unique sensation.
This was a quality not found in the seasoned veterans who had been in society for many years.
No wonder those bosses in his previous life liked to hire university student secretaries.
Sure enough, this contradictory temperament really tested the executives!
"Just a simple bento is fine."
Although she had already labeled Bai Ye a pervert in her heart, Miko still maintained a relatively humble demeanor.
She was here to work, and while Bai Ye looked, he didn't have a lecherous expression, nor did he touch her, so Miko didn't say much.
But why did she feel like she was here to do odd jobs?
Looking at the messy surroundings, Miko couldn't imagine what the Office would be like without her; it would probably be a complete mess.
"Alright."
Bai Ye nodded, then went out to eat and bought Miko a bento with a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.
Returning to the Office, Bai Ye pushed open the door and saw Miko kneeling on the floor, her back to him, organizing things under the table.
From this angle, Bai Ye finally understood why those'stuck' scenes appeared. He inexplicably wanted to pay tribute to those 'teachers'.
"Is the Boss back?"
Miko twisted her body, slid out from under the table, and turned her head. The slight smudges of ash on her face, combined with her headscarf, made her look exactly like the characters from those 'housekeeper' games he had played.
"Miko, you've almost finished cleaning, right? Let's eat first."
Saying that, Bai Ye handed the lunchbox in his hand to Miko.
"Mhm, thank you, Boss. I've already thrown away a lot of trash I sorted earlier. Also, there's a package here that seems to be for you. Since you hadn't opened it, I took it out for you."
Saying that, Miko handed a package to Bai Ye. It had the Office APP's shipping address written on it, clearly indicating it was sent to the Office.
"Strange, my Office hasn't been open for long, and someone's already sending me a package? Same-city delivery?"
Bai Ye stroked his chin, a flicker of thought in his eyes.
Since it was addressed to the Office and not Bai Ye's name, it meant this item was originally intended for the Office.
Never mind, let's just see. Surely no one would send him a bomb, right?
With that thought, Bai Ye directly opened the package. Inside, only a single video cassette lay quietly.
"Uh, Boss, you didn't buy that kind of movie online, did you? Should I step out?"
When Miko saw the video cassette, she didn't think much at first, but after seeing the cover, her expression became strange.
"Miss Secretary, you don't want to lose your job, do you? Your husband Ryosuke is on the layoff list!"
Ah!!!?
Secretary?
Isn't that me?
And the cover was very embarrassing.
What item was obtained in a bedroom? If she had to pick two words from this pile of nonsense, Miko didn't dare to imagine!
Miko's head was smoking. Thinking of her identity and seeing this disc, she suddenly realized her situation seemed very dangerous.
But this disc showed a marriage, and she wasn't married yet, so it shouldn't be, right?
Or was marriage just Bai Ye's task, because he liked that kind of thing?
Huh?
"I didn't buy it? Who sent me this kind of thing? I must severely criticize them!"
Damn it!
To actually send him this kind of movie!
Bai Ye, with a critical gaze, inserted the disc into the computer.
He wanted to see what kind of plot this was!
"That..."
Miko's legs felt a bit weak. She wanted to run, but she felt as if all the strength had been drained from her body.
No!
She couldn't stay here any longer. If she continued to stay, would something bad happen later?
Miko forced her legs to move, but before she could leave, a dry well appeared on the screen, catching her attention.
"Eh!? It doesn't seem to be that kind of movie..."
Why did this scene look a bit eerie and strange?
If it were that kind of movie, the beginning shouldn't be like this. Shouldn't there be an exciting piece of music?
Immediately after, a pair of hands reached out from inside the dry well, and then Bai Ye strangely looked at Miko.
This video cassette recorded the process of a girl being murdered, and this was the famous Sadako Video Tape!
Anyone who watched this video cassette would die within seven days. The only way to break the curse was to show the video cassette to others, and then the curse would be transferred.
He was completely numb!
This woman truly had a spirit-attracting constitution!
It hadn't been long since Miko became his secretary.
And she was already targeted by a ghost?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Miko looked at Bai Ye somewhat warily. Could it be that since he didn't see that kind of movie, he was planning to experiment with her?
And would a video be taken afterward?
Then in the future, she would always be threatened by Bai Ye with that video!
Damn it!
She was still a young girl, with infinite possibilities in the future. Why did she feel like she was doomed now!
"Nothing, I just feel your constitution is really amazing. This video cassette is Sadako's video cassette. Anyone who sees it will be killed by Sadako within seven days."
Bai Ye shrugged, also realizing what Miko was thinking. Compared to Miko's thoughts, Bai Ye wasn't in the mood to flirt with her. If it were before, he would definitely tease this young girl.
But now being targeted by Sadako, this was not good news.
The person who sent the disc, you're really a dog!
To actually use such packaging to attract his attention.
This is curiosity killing the cat!
"No way? I'm that unlucky?"
Miko's face instantly fell. How long had it been, and she was already targeted by a ghost?
"In short, since you watched this movie with me, you're also targeted. I don't care, but you might. Sadako will attack you anytime, anywhere, and the power of this ghost is definitely much stronger than any ghost you've encountered before. It's not like if you pretend not to see it, it won't touch you. We've already triggered her curse!"
The ghosts in this world seemed to follow certain rules when killing people.
For example, seeing the other party, or some medium, such as Kayako's house and Sadako's video cassette.
When the medium wasn't triggered, everyone could live safely without being targeted by ghosts.
"So, for your safety, you should move in with me recently. Don't worry, I definitely won't touch you!"
"Move in!!!?"
Miko's eyes widened. She looked at Bai Ye with some disbelief. Didn't he know what he was saying?
"Of course, only then can I protect you. Besides, I'm known as the Honest and Reliable Young Gentleman. What I say, I definitely deliver!"
That makes it even less believable!
Miko had just believed Bai Ye once, and now she was forced to wear black stockings and a secretary's outfit.
She had a feeling that if she lived with Bai Ye, something very bad would happen.
"Boss, your home has two rooms, right?"
Miko's eyes were full of hope. If there were two rooms, then it didn't seem like too big of a problem.
"Don't worry, my home only has one room."
Listening to Bai Ye's annoying tone, although she really wanted to punch Bai Ye's smiling face.
But Miko didn't dare to commit insubordination.
"Will I really die?"
"Really, I wouldn't lie to you about something like this. Also, regarding Sadako, I'll give you two more talismans. If you encounter any problems, call me immediately. In short, this ghost is very troublesome, understand?"
Bai Ye looked at Miko very seriously. He had already realized Miko's usefulness.
At the same time, he didn't want Miko to die like this. He would still need Miko to attract ghosts here for him in the future.
And Bai Ye had a premonition that after dealing with Sadako, he would definitely get a chance to draw a prize.
"I understand, Boss. Then you have to swear that you absolutely won't do anything out of line!"
"I swear!"
Bai Ye quickly raised his hand and said.
Oh, young lady, do people really believe a man's vows?
"Then you go back and pack your things first. Don't worry, she won't come looking for you today."
Seven days to die, but these few days were most likely safe, so there was no need to worry.
"Oh, then can I come on the seventh day?"
The young lady was quite smart, learning to apply what she learned. Since it was the seventh day, she might as well come on the seventh day.
"Of course you can!"
Bai Ye's smiling eyes made Miko feel uncertain.
After all, she didn't know if the ghost would really kill her exactly on time. If the ghost didn't follow its schedule and killed her early, she would cry herself to death.
With her head slumped, Miko bid farewell to Bai Ye, preparing to go back and pack her things to temporarily move in with Bai Ye for a period of time.
In fact, she was also a bit hesitant. After all, it was her first time living with a man, albeit in such a strange way, but Miko really believed Bai Ye's words.
Because she had heard of Sadako's video cassette!
Before, she had scoffed at such urban legends, but ever since she could see ghosts, Miko truly believed.
However, she had only heard of Sadako's video cassette; this was her first time seeing it. So this was what Sadako's video cassette was like.
And what others had said before seemed to differ from what Bai Ye said.
Shaking her head, Miko finally decided to believe Bai Ye. Perhaps those who had encountered this urban legend before had already died, and now it was just exaggerated or fabricated by some people. Bai Ye was more reliable, after all, the incident where he used his talisman to kill a ghost was real and not fake.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [Just watched Sadako's video cassette, very panicked!]
Sadako, logically speaking, if it's from urban legends, it's fine, but if it's Sadako from 'Ring' novels, then he's probably doomed.
That's when they start playing with concepts; you could say Sadako in that one is basically an invincible existence.
Naruto Bai Ye: [Holy crap? That awesome?]
Inuyasha Bai Ye: [Don't you have Conan over there? Who says seven days is seven days?]
You talk about time in the Conan world?
Maybe Sadako won't even come for years.
Zombie Bai Ye: [Good point, but it's also possible she'll appear immediately, after all, Conan's timeline can't be explained.]
Either she doesn't come, or she comes immediately. Looking at it that way, it doesn't seem impossible.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [I'm just praying it's not the Sadako from the novel right now!]
Actually, he wasn't worried about when Sadako would come; his only concern was which Sadako it was.
Pirate Bai Ye: [Actually, I've always had a question. If Sadako appears from the TV, then if you turn off the TV when Sadako is halfway out, will she get stuck in the TV? And then can you do whatever you want, like in those hot-blooded anime?]
Holy crap?
Bro, isn't your focus a bit strange?
You're actually starting to plot against Sadako?
But if turning off the TV really did get her stuck there, it feels like he's seen that in some anime.
KOF Bai Ye: [Actually, there's another one. Since Sadako appears in the TV, if you put two TVs together and power them both, will Sadako keep crawling? And then when she's exhausted and out of strength, can you make a move?]
Biochemical Bai Ye: [My suggestion is to turn the screen to the wall. When Sadako crawls out, she'll definitely hit her head hard!]
Hong Kong Bai Ye: [My suggestion is to find three people and set up a mahjong table. Three missing one, I believe Sadako can't refuse!]
Shinigami Bai Ye: [Find a cage, point the TV at the cages, and once Sadako crawls in, lock her up and study her thoroughly!]
Pirate Bai Ye: [No, no, no! You're all too old-fashioned. Buy Sadako an LV handbag. I believe no woman can refuse that!!!]
Zombie Bai Ye: [Unreliable. Just marry Sadako and live happily ever after!]
Nichijou Bai Ye: [You guys are truly geniuses!]
You're truly damn geniuses, are you monkeys sent to be clowns?
Nichijou Bai Ye: [Forget it, we'll see then. @Shinigami Bai Ye, lend me your Zanpakuto then!]
Shinigami Bai Ye: [OK!]
Zombie Bai Ye: [I'll lend you some things then too. Gotta go, I'm almost at Ren Family Town. Talk later.]
