After school, a rumor about a girl called the Art Room Ghost is circulating. "Students who go to the art room at 3:40 PM can never leave once they enter." The rumor became so famous that it reached the ears of Hanako, Tsukasa, and their groups.

After school, in the 3rd-floor girls' bathroom of the old school building.

The sound of frantic running echoes as Nene and Kou arrive at the bathroom in a hurry.

Yashiro Nene: Hanako-kun!!

Kou: Hanako!!

Hanako: Looking surprised You guys sure are in a rush.

Yashiro Nene: It's about today's rumor...! The Art Room rumor...!

After Hanako hears the rumor.

Hanako: Hmmm~ What an interesting rumor. Well then, shall we go take a look!

Nene and Kou look at him with troubled expressions as he says he's going.

The group—Nene, Kou, and Hanako—soon arrives in front of the art room.

Yashiro Nene: ...Ugh... the atmosphere is...

Minamoto Kou: Uwah! I've got a bad feeling about this...!!

Hanako: Staring at the door Heh, how strange. It's shut tight.

Everyone tilts their heads, confused by the door opening suddenly.

Yashiro Nene: H-Hieee...! W-What was that?!

Minamoto Kou: Ugh...! Don't scare me like that!

Hanako: I wonder if we'll turn into lumps of meat if we go in there?

Nene and Kou get goosebumps at his words.
