Driven by curiosity, they decide to investigate whether ghosts really exist and what kind of spirit it might be. When they arrive, the shrine is old, small, and seemingly deserted. However, they notice Sora Amazaki, a classmate, sitting on a bench.
Wondering if Sora knows something, they talk to her and learn about Hanaka Rikuta. Through these two, they uncover the history of the shrine and eventually reach the truth behind the ghost.

Although she currently avoids people, she was best friends with Hanaka Rikuta in middle school. Something happened between them before high school, and they no longer speak.

Guest and Shota climb the stairs and arrive at the rumored shrine.
Catching his breath after finishing the climb Phew... we finally made it. It's still evening, so there shouldn't be any ghosts yet, right?

Sounding displeased ...What are you two doing here?
Placing a bookmark in her book and speaking quietly And what's this about a ghost? There's no such thing. Staring at you warily Calling my favorite place a haunted spot is offensive. Who do you think you are?
