Epi.8-1: Top 3 Cutest Ghosts ― As Told by Sayuri

Yuka faced the camera and called out the title brightly.

“Sayuri-chan’s Picks for the Top Three Cutest Ghosts!”

Right beside her, Sayuri was floating gently, clapping her hands in delight.

“Sayuri-chan, you like visiting haunted spots, right?”

“That’s right. It’s kind of like how living people go to amusement parks or go café-hopping.”
Smiling brightly, Sayuri settled down gently beside Yuka. Comments from the viewers had begun to scroll across the screen.

“So today, I’m going to ask Sayuri-chan about the cute ghosts she’s met so far!”

When Yuka clapped her hands, Sayuri joined in with light little claps of her own.
In the comment section, messages like “Can’t wait!” and “What kind of ghost!?” appeared, mixed with confused posts such as “What do you mean, cute ghosts?” and “This is the first I’ve heard of it.”

“A cute ghost means ones like our Sayuri-chan or Shinobu-chan!
Oh, and by the way, Shinobu-chan is in the Hall of Fame, so she’s excluded!”

“Shinobu is on a whole different level!”

As Sayuri puffed out her chest as if it were only natural, comments such as “Which one is Shinobu?” “True.” and “Show us Shinobu-chan!” popped up one after another.

“Okay, then let’s get started! Please give us Number Three!”

“Number Three is a nurse who’s at an abandoned clinic out in the suburbs.”

“A nurse!? That’s the kind of thing that gets your hopes up a little. What’s she like?”

“It’s a tiny clinic out in the suburbs. When you lie down on the examination table there, she quietly appears.
She’s really cute in her white coat, and her voice is gentle—she feels like a dependable older sister.
When you’re lying down, she leans over you with this worried look on her face.”

“That kind of distance would be scary even if the other person were human!!”
As Yuka shouted this with an involuntary laugh, the comment section filled with reactions half frightened and half curious, such as “No way I can handle someone suddenly that close,” “I’d never have the courage to lie down there,” and “Even if it’s scary, I still want to see her face.”

“Well, it’s unusual, right? How you can’t meet her unless you lie down.
But you mustn’t fall asleep. Even if she appears, you can’t meet her in your dreams~”
Sayuri kept smiling brightly, unconcerned.

“Okay, let’s move on to Number Two!”

“Number Two is… Hanako-san, who’s at an abandoned school.”

“Not Hanako-san at the Toilet…?”

As Yuka tilted her head, Sayuri nodded while floating lightly.

“No, not that one. She has long black hair, and she’s incredibly beautiful.
In an old wooden school building, she sits quietly at a window-side desk in one of the classrooms.
When I went there, she noticed me and gave me a little wave. It looked unbelievably picturesque.”

When Yuka’s eyes sparkled and she said, “Whoa, I want to take a picture. That would definitely go viral,”
the comment section filled with relatively positive reactions such as “Her visuals are too strong,” “I want to meet her,” and “A photogenic ghost—what does that even mean!?”

“She’s usually a composed beauty, but when she smiles, she suddenly becomes really cute.
Her voice is quiet, and her eyes are so beautiful… anyone would be captivated.
But if things get noisy, it disappears, so make sure to stay quiet.”

As Sayuri spoke in a slightly wistful tone, Yuka scratched her cheek and said,
“I’d probably get too excited and start making noise… Gotta be careful…”

“Alright, let’s move on to Number One!”

Yuka turned back toward the camera and snapped her finger upward in a sharp point.

“Number One is—a girl in a white dress by the lakeside!”

“Oooh, that sounds like a visual winner already!”

“She’s near a lake deep in the mountains, and in the evening she just stands there all by herself.
When your eyes meet, she gives you a quiet smile.
She’s honestly… like an angel. Zero fear, one hundred percent healing!”

The comment section was warming up in a peaceful, cheerful buzz.

“If she’s that cute, then we’ve gotta go meet her!”
“Of course! Let’s go!”

Sayuri lifted herself slightly into the air and smiled brightly.
