"Brother, have you heard of the 'Ghost Lady in the Courtyard'?"

"Are you talking about the rumor that started circulating recently? I heard it mentioned by classmates before."

"It is said that someone witnessed it a long time ago, but it was only talked about in a small circle. But now, isn't there a loophole in the barrier of Frost Moon Academy? So some people suspect that it is a monster that came in from outside the barrier."

After dinner, Luoluo and Aika mentioned this topic, and Aika, who didn't pay much attention to the rumors, also heard about it.

The so-called "Ghost Lady of the Garden" means that on unspecified nights, a "ghost" with a faint blue light will appear in the courtyard of Shigezuki Academy. Because of her slender body, she is mistakenly thought to be a woman. .

The courtyard of Shimozuki Academy is a small park in the school. It is built in various beautiful places in Shuoyue Academy. It is usually used as the first choice place for gatherings or activities. "Night Courtyard" plus "Ghost Lady" have become a good topic material.

After the gathering some time ago, this rumor was spread with people's enthusiasm. Now there should be no one in Shimozuki Academy who doesn't know the story of "Ghost Miss". However, it is said that no one has yet tried to find the "ghost lady".

There are countless mythical rumors about Frost Moon Academy, so no one would really think of finding out the truth. Even if it had happened, it would have failed in the end, otherwise the rumors would no longer be "rumors" but become "facts".

"So, brother, let's go find 'Miss Ghost' together!"

Luoluo clasped his hands behind his back and looked up at Aika with eyes full of expectation.

"But it would be dangerous to go out at this time."

"It's just this once, okay? If it fails, I'll never mention it again."

Now that my sister, who would never take the initiative to ask for help, has said so, it’s not impossible to do it once...

"Okay then, you have to be back before ten o'clock, got it?"

"Um!"

Aika originally wanted to ask Shang Ling and Wei Xi to act together. With four people, the safety would be greatly increased. But causing trouble for his sister because of her willfulness is a situation he has always avoided.

When Ling and Wei Xi went to take a bath, Aika left a message for them and left the administrator's cabin with Luo Luo.

…………

When was the last time you and Lolo took a walk alone at night? I remember it was a few months ago, when I just left home.

Although there was a clear destination geographically, Aika was actually aimless and just moved towards the known direction with a casual attitude.

Maybe that time was truly a time without worries. It was also from that time that the sense of responsibility as an older brother was officially born.

"elder brother……"

Luoluo put his hands behind his back and took small steps as usual. No need to pay special attention, Aika naturally cooperated with her to slow down her pace. This tacit understanding is the accumulation of time.

The bright summer moonlight filled the entire Shuoyue Academy, surrounded by familiar vegetation and buildings. In this time where no one will disturb you, no matter what your mood is, you will eventually calm down.

"I guess Sister Ling may come out to find us after seeing the news."

"I deliberately added 'Don't come to us' at the end."

"So, brother..." Luoluo sighed helplessly, "It's because you said so that Sister Ling will come to you."

Aika really couldn't understand this way of thinking. Although many people have said that I am slow and don't know how to consider other people's thoughts, and I didn't care at first, but if even my own sister, who is my other half, says so, then I really need to reflect on it.

"It shouldn't be possible to search the entire Frost Moon Academy in this little time. Do you have any plans on where to start looking for you?"

"Well... let's start from the nearest place!"

Luoluo smiled and clapped his hands. It seems that she only has ideas but no plans at all. This is a bit different from the previous Lolo who was careful in all aspects.

"Considering the return trip, the range should be between the teaching building and the big library. Then I'll leave the guidance to you, and leave it to me to protect you with peace of mind!"

"Brother, actually you just really want to say this kind of line once..."

"I really want to protect your back."

"Well..." Luoluo frankly accepted Aika's vow, "Then please protect me, brother."

After saying that, she hugged Aika naturally and leaned against him gently.

Luoluo's cheek was pressed against Aika's chest, and Aika would never be able to notice her happy smile at this moment.
