The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Instantly, the group of girls who had been full of interest had stiff expressions.

'What the heck?'

The reason they weren't afraid and were full of curiosity was completely because Hakuto was right there. He gave them a sense of security.

But now, Hakuto was frowning and retreating behind everyone else, ready to pull back if the situation went south?

If Hakuto wasn't going to step up, were they expected to?

The expressions of Erina and Alice instantly turned strange. These girls before them seemed to have gone too far.

They probably guessed that these girls weren't afraid because of Hakuto.

But now that Hakuto had stepped back, these girls were going to have to face the Spirit head-on. They were probably going to be scared to death.

As expected, Erina saw the expressions of the girls change.

'Serves you right for wanting to watch the excitement.'

But Erina could also understand Hakuto's thinking. After all, a normal person, upon seeing a Spirit, wouldn't just stand there with curiosity, let alone not run away.

But not only were these people not afraid, they looked curious. How could Hakuto not have noticed?

Moreover, Hakuto had said that this Spirit not only didn't run away from him but actively came towards him. It might be very strong, so Hakuto naturally wouldn't step up to show off.

"Who is it?"

The Spirit walked through the school gate and, seeing the group of people, came towards them.

At that moment, the girls who wanted to run away found that their feet had become so heavy that they couldn't even lift them, let alone run away.

Cold sweat dripped from their foreheads. The ones who had been curious instantly collapsed.

Their gazes unconsciously looked towards Hakuto.

Hakuto raised an eyebrow, 'There was something strange about these girls. They had been excited just a moment ago, so why were they now looking scared?'

Alice took Hakuto's arm. "Haku, I'm a little scared."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

He patted Alice's arm to comfort her.

"It's gone. Disappeared. Where is it?"

The Spirit seemed to be talking to itself, then looked at the crowd.

"Am I pretty?"

Pulling down the mask on her face, the Spirit asked the people present.

"Kuchisake-onna!"

Some recognized the Spirit before them.

Under the mask was a mouth, but the sides of that mouth were slit open towards the cheeks.

This instantly made everyone think of Kuchisake-onna.

"Am I pretty?"

Kuchisake-onna asked again.

In urban legends, Kuchisake-onna would ask people if she was pretty.

If the person said no, she would kill them. If the person said yes, she would use large scissors to cut the same slit into their cheeks.

The more fragile girls were almost scared to tears. Whether they answered "beautiful" or "not beautiful", they would meet with misfortune.

Erina couldn't help but grip Hakuto's hand tightly.

[So it's Kuchisake-onna. But this is really strange. Shouldn't Spirits all avoid me? How come this Kuchisake-onna actively came looking for me? Could it be because Kuchisake-onna can be seen with the naked eye, while ordinary Evil Spirits cannot, so Kuchisake-onna is stronger, and therefore doesn't care?]

[That's possible. Safety first. I'll observe for now. As long as Kuchisake-onna doesn't go after my wives, I don't care about the others.]

Instantly, the expressions of a group of people changed.

Alice, who had been a little scared, couldn't help but burst out with a "pfft" laugh.

Then things got bad!

Alice's laugh attracted Kuchisake-onna, causing Kuchisake-onna to look at Alice.

Then Kuchisake-onna asked Alice, "Am I pretty?"

Alice looked at the ugly face so close to her and was almost scared to tears. She gripped Hakuto's arm tightly and, with a tearful voice, shouted to Hakuto, "Haku, what do I do?"

Hakuto was also speechless, 'My wife Alice was a bit silly. Why did you have to laugh? Everyone else looked scared, but you were the only one who laughed.'

Erina also looked at Alice speechlessly, thinking her cousin was a bit stupid.

"Am I pretty?"

Kuchisake-onna asked again. Her voice was hoarse, low, and sharp, like the sound of sharp glass rubbing together, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Seeing that Alice didn't answer, Kuchisake-onna stopped asking.

Black fog formed a large pair of scissors in her hand.

Hakuto naturally couldn't stay unmoved any longer. Black fog appeared beneath Kuchisake-onna's feet.

The next moment, Kuchisake-onna slowly sank down, finally completely swallowed by the black fog.

With Kuchisake-onna gone, Hakuto breathed a sigh of relief, 'Good, this Kuchisake-onna wasn't very strong.'

But a doubt immediately arose in his heart, 'Since she wasn't strong, why did she dare to come?'

'Was she that brave?'

Thinking this, he said aloud, "Although I don't know who took care of this Spirit, everyone should go home for now. Be careful on your way back. I will report this matter to the school, and they will strengthen protection to ensure nothing like this happens again."

Everyone knew perfectly well who had taken care of the Spirit, but they didn't expose him. They then went their separate ways. What had just happened had really scared them. Alice only spoke after the others had left.

"Haku, I'm sorry. I caused trouble for you."

"It's okay. Don't worry about it. But Alice, next time you encounter a monster like this, the first thing you should do is run away, understand? Don't be like those silly people just now, standing there with curious expressions and laughing to attract its attention."

Alice gave an awkward laugh.

'My performance just now probably wasn't much different from those silly people in Haku's mind.'

"I understand, Haku."

"Alright. Now hurry back."

After seeing off Alice, Erina, and the others, Hakuto muttered to himself.

"How should I deal with this Kuchisake-onna?"

He turned and walked back into the school. Hakuto soon arrived at the student council office.

The black fog appeared again. As the black fog disappeared, Kuchisake-onna lay on the floor.

Then Kuchisake-onna slowly stood up.

"Make yourself look better. Understand?"

Sitting behind the student council president's desk with his hands crossed, looking like Ikari Gendo, Hakuto looked at Kuchisake-onna.

With Hakuto's words, the wound on Kuchisake-onna's face gradually disappeared, taking on a normal human appearance.

"Now tell me, why did you dare to appear in front of me?"
