Chapter 605: Horror Festival
The thought of Misaki kept crossing his mind, and somehow it made him want to help her.
Yet using a direct method might be tricky, so he thought to use an indirect method.
After staying on the Sakurasou, he went to his apartment and played with his girlfriends for a while before sitting on the sofa in Shiina’s studio.
The girls, especially the members of the literature club, were busy making a story about their club journal.
The school festival would be held in autumn, in the second semester of school, and a moment after the summer vacation.
Even if Suimei was famous for their education, they were even more famous because of their art subject. Many came to this school because they wanted to work in the arts sector after they graduated.
Be that a painter, fashion designer, entertainment, and many others.
This also brought the school festival the most important event in the school since it was the time for those students to show their creativity to the fullest.
In conclusion, it was super important!
What was even more amazing was that this school festival would be held for an entire week, and this also had become a major regional event with thousands of people visiting every year.
The literature club, of course, decided to participate, and they decided to create a club journal.
The word “journal” might sound unfamiliar, but in short, everyone decided to create a short story, and the theme of the club journal would be horror.
Everyone started to work hard, and they also searched for the urban legends or myths in the stories before turning them into their own stories.
Shishio also made a horror story, and the name of his story was “Fashion Model.”
The story was simple, and it was about a young amateur scriptwriter with a strong intuition. His intuition was strong, and when he thought he would get a misfortune, he knew he would receive it.
The young man was restless, and as expected, when he took a fashion magazine, he saw a photo of a mysterious fashion model.
Unlike the others who were cute, beautiful, or even sexy, this woman was like a monster, smiling, giving a creep to anyone who saw it.
Because of this photo, the young man couldn’t forget this fashion model’s face for a while and even had a nightmare about it. While he had talked about this problem with his friends, they couldn’t give him a solution.
However, soon, he had forgotten it, and even that magazine also stopped publishing for half a year, making the photo of that fashion model a distant memory.
When his life turned better, he was able to make a good script, which made all of his friends excited.
Everyone planned to shoot a movie, so they would be known in amateur movie circles. They were full of excitement and planned to choose the cast.
Many amateur actresses sent their photos for a cast, and they excitedly chose which would be suitable for their movie until that young scriptwriter saw the photo of the fashion model, which gave him a horror.
Everyone was also startled by the mysterious face of the fashion model, but when they thought she was coming from a professional, it would give them a boost of benefit on their movie. After all, they were amateurs and needed a gimmick to attract more people to watch their movies.
Even if the young scriptwriter protested, his friends were already excited, and there was nothing he could do.
Then, it was time for the meeting.
One amateur they had chosen came to the cafe where they had made an appointment.
While everyone talked excitedly, the young scriptwriter was nervous and had a cold sweat when he thought he would meet the fashion model. However, he was startled when he noticed the fashion model was standing by his side and staring at him silently.
Reading and hearing his stories, his girlfriends gulped and wondered whether this was Shishio’s real experience.
After all, from his description, the fashion model was scary.
The fashion model was more than two meters tall. Her face was oval and long, her hair reached her back, and her body was thin like she had anorexia, yet her body was unexpectedly gigantic. Her expression had never changed, and only a small creepy grin-like on her mouth could be seen from her face.
While the young scriptwriter was nervous, the meeting was smooth since the fashion model didn’t say anything besides her name, only sat down, staring at him, without saying a single word.
Yet, even so, he was unable to erase the eeriness which came from this fashion model.
He wanted to stop the participant of this fashion model, but all of his friends seemed excited, making him helpless.
By then, it was time to shoot the movie, and everyone went to the mountain where nobody was around.
They planned to shoot a horror movie, so this was a perfect place.
Still, they were young, so when they saw the fashion model, they couldn’t help but make fun of her lightly.
Yet the fashion model also laughed and showed off her fang-like teeth, which were all sharp, like the fang of a beast.
While they were all startled and nervous, they shut their mouths before they arrived at the shooting location.
Then, it was time to shoot the movie, but as expected, the fashion model kept staring at the young scriptwriter, which made him nervous the entire time.
“Hey, do you think she likes you?”
His friends joked, which caused his body to all shudder.
“Don’t joke around! I am going to wash my face in the river.”
He was quite scared, but when he washed his face, he didn’t expect that the fashion model would chase after him, creeping silently, watching him from behind without saying anything. This brought horror to him, and he quickly ran back to where his friends were.
Yet the fashion model ran even faster and caught over him.
Fortunately, she didn’t plan to do anything to him, and he could return to everyone, which made him sigh in relief, but he planned to go home since it was impossible to stay in this place anymore.
His friends laughed at his words and thought he only thought too much before they continued to shoot the movie with the other actress.
Yet it brought dissatisfaction from the fashion model, and she stared at them with a menacing gaze, giving them a cold sweat and a pressure as if she might eat them.
In the end, they discussed shooting her first, so they wouldn’t be troubled by her revenge.
However, one of their friends suddenly returned, and the other beautiful actress disappeared.
“Hey, hey, it’s bad! Tamae (the beautiful actress) was on the… mountain side and was eaten by Fuchi (the fashion model)…”
While they didn’t believe that the fashion model would eat the beautiful actress, they still followed their friend to see what was happening.
However, their friend didn’t want to go back.
Unfortunately, if he didn’t come back, how could all of them see whether what he was saying was true?
They entered the deep forest, and then they saw bloodstains, which made their legs weak and their bodies tense, and suddenly from the large bark behind them, the fashion model’s face was seen.
Her face was covered with blood, and his face showed a bright creepy smile, staring at them with a gaze of happiness.
“Now, I am the leading actress!”
Hearing those words, everyone started to run away, but the guy who reported everything was caught by the fashion model easily.
On the other hand, the rest ran away before the young scriptwriter stumbled over the root of the tree. His foot sprained, and he couldn’t run, so he could only watch his two friends run away before turning back, watching his friend’s neck being bitten by the fashion model.
The fashion model stared at the young scriptwriter with a happy smile while laughing.
“Kekeke! At last, it’s just the two of us!”
The story ended with that, and they threw his story on the ground with a scare!
“UWAAAAAA!”
“What is this?!”
“So scary!!!”
They all felt their goosebumps, and their complexions were pale when they read his story, but they must admit the story was addicting and fun.
Yet as a woman, they felt a strange joy since the victim was a guy instead of a female.
After all, while he knew it was quite strange for him to say this, mostly it was a guy who forced themselves on a girl.
On the other hand, this story was about a creepy girl who forced herself on the guy.
“Shishio, is this a real experience?” Saki asked with concern.
If Shishio had such an experience, she would beat this woman up and tell her that he was hers!
“Fortunately, no.”
While he had an experience being followed by a stalker, they weren’t as aggressive as the ones in his story. Yet it was normal since his bodyguards were everywhere in this neighborhood.
However, what made him feel complicated was the fact that this story brought inspiration to everyone. They started to make a story with a male as the victim. Those men were all haunted because they were all scumbags and killed mercilessly, which made Shishio and Reiji Kiriya (teacher of the literature club) cold sweats.
“Can this thing be sold?” Kiriya asked in a whisper, and his face was cold sweat, feeling sorry for Shishio, whose girlfriends might kill him if he left them.
“….Unexpectedly, it can since women have a lot darker emotions than you, though.”
Shishio wasn’t sure what Kiriya was thinking, but he knew that there was a market for this type of story.
While everyone advocated gender equality everywhere, the world couldn’t work so simply.
Many dissatisfactions were everywhere, so those women needed to release those emotions.
The horror story was perfect since it made you want to scream out loud.
Anyway, the school festival was something they were looking out for, and they were all excited to bring a “scream” of excitement to this event!
Yet, Shishio didn’t join their excitement since it was hard for him to join with his complex mood, so in the end, he stayed in Shiina’s room and wrote a story, which he planned to give Misaki before his trip to Karuizawa.
Shishio thought about what title was the most suitable for this story before he made his decision.
