Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

I had already experienced it firsthand several times before, how most of the ghost stories handled by the Disaster Management Bureau result in fatalities.

Because for something to be registered as a supernatural disaster, there must be human casualties.

In that sense, tasks that allow you to act as a bureau agent while staying a step removed from actual harm... can seem very appealing. I mean, I get it. But still.

"Wait, so... I'm supposed to drive at an ungodly hour... with a ghost in the passenger seat?"

"Yes."

"..."

You've got to be kidding me.

"Don't worry. No driver has ever died."

"..."

"At worst, there have been mild heart attacks or brief loss of consciousness. You won't need any major mental preparation."

Oh, I will, actually.

I almost turned to stare at Agent Bronze in betrayal and disbelief, but managed to hold it in.
