♡︎ The life of being
Minamoto's slave.

"Kou-kun?" The boy turned to see Y/n holding plastic bags. "Minamoto-san told me to buy you some ingredients for your dinner tonight, since he has to do extra paperwork today."

Her voice was soft and kind, but deep down... she was holding back her laughter. Minamoto-san, this is what you get after torturing me and Akane-kun for doing NOTHING at all.

Beat that you little sadistic blonde.

"Ah, thank you, Y/n-chan." Kou flashed the H/c-haired girl a smile, which made her heart pound. She placed her hand on her chest as she crouched down.

So cute! She internally squealed. I wonder to this day how Kou-kun is related to that sadistic, ghost-hating bastard!

"Y/n-chan? Are you okay?" Kou asked, leaning down to see if she was in pain. The girl quickly regained her posture and nodded. "I'm fine." She then gave him the plastic bags. "Take it. I'm gonna head home now."

"Once again, thanks, Y/n-chan..."

"Oh, and.." Y/n placed her arm over the boy's shoulder and pulled him down since he was practically a foot taller than her. ".. good luck on the seventh school mystery, I heard that they got a new assistant."

"How'd you know that?" Kou quickly asked. Y/n backed away with a smug look on her face. "That's a secret," she cooed teasingly.

A frown made its way to the boys face as he looked at the girl. "Eh? Why? Tell me!"

"Nope!" The girl grinned. "If you're gonna ask any more, I'm telling the broadcasting club to broadcast your secret!"

Kou's brows furrowed. "Which is...?"

Y/n gave him a look of mischief. "That you're scared of those masks they wear on festivals." Kou's tough demeanor broke. He slowly crouched in embarrassment, covering his face with a hand.

"D-Don't tell them... I'll stop asking..."

"Better!♥"

♡︎ Nene-chan became
a what now...?

It was a few minutes after classes ended when Y/n realized that Nene wasn't in the classroom. The H/c-haired girl had been so busy talking with a certain red head about some issues that her best friend had slowly left her mind.

"I'll be heading out now, Y/n-chan." Akane gave the girl a wave before scurrying off towards Aoi, who was waiting for him at the doorway with her bag hanging on her arm.

"Bye Y/n-chan!"

"Bye!" Y/n gave the two a grin. And as soon as they were out of sight, a gloomy expression made its way to her face. "Now then.. to find Nene-chan."

And that is when Y/n went on for a small quest in search for the radish. She ventured off into the silent hallways with only a few students walking down them.

The sun's light was the only thing keeping the place lit up, other than that, it was filled with shadows. Y/n made sure to stay close to the open windows as she looked into each classroom.

"Wait." Y/n froze upon realizing something. "Nene-chan is..."

That's right. Your dear radish, Yashiro Nene, was taken as number seven's personal assistant due to her wish. Y/n's face scrunched up when remembering about the mermaid scales.

"This is gonna be hard..."

♡︎ Why are you
cleaning the
restroom?

"Let's go Hakujoudai. Let's buy her some fish food-"

The restroom doors slid open, revealing a drained H/c head, crouching down as she continued panting as if she had just ran a marathon.

"Y-Y/n-chan?!" Nene exclaimed before dropping the mop she held and went towards the girl. "What are you doing here?!"

"I could ask you the same thing, Nene-chan..." Y/n took a deep breath before standing up properly, giving the apparition a quick glance before looking at Nene with a strict demeanor. "Why are you cleaning the restroom?"

"Eek!" Nene realized her outfit, which looked like she was some maid. "Wait, it's not what you think!" She waved her hands. "I was just-!"

Now that Y/n thought of it, number seven was-

The girl looked at the apparition who wore the black gakuran. On his hand was an aquarium already filled to the brim with water.

Y/n released a sigh. "Was someone threatening you, Nene-chan?" She gave the girl a sharp look, trying to intimidate her into spilling the truth.

"E-Eh?! I'm not!" Nene closed her eyes as her hands waved around in disagreement. But of course, Y/n didn't believe any of it.

"Then what are you doing here.." The girl looked at the apron Nene hid behind her. ".. wearing something ridiculous and.." Her E/c orbs then pierced the contrasting pair of orange ones. ".. with an apparition?"

"EH?!" Nene's eyes widened as she looked at Y/n, then Hanako, then back to Y/n again. "Y/n-chan! You can see Hanako-san?!"

"Always have, Nene-chan." Y/n raised her hands up in defeat. She never wanted Nene to know about her seeing ghosts, but the fact that Hanako made the girl into a personal maid irked Y/n. "But what about you? Have you always seen them?"

"Nope!" Nene shook her head. "I started seeing them as soon as I knocked on Hanako-san's door. It's still unknown to me why, but.. Y/n-chan..."

Nene clasped her hands together and looked down, trying to avoid Y/n's gaze. "Can you clean the restroom for atleast one day?! I need to get going! Fuji-kun asked me out!" Nene pleaded.

"What the-?!" Y/n face palmed. "Nene-chan, that guy is just using you! Please don't be tricked by-"

"Really, Y/n-chan?! You'll be doing this for me?! Thank you!" Y/n was cut off by Yashiro quickly running out of the restroom. She didn't even let her best friend continue her statement.

She's gonna get her heart broken... The girl released a sigh before looking over to the apparition, who had already hid the aquarium he had earlier.

Seconds after
Nene left.

"You're gonna let her clean this place after classes now?" Y/n raised a brow. Hanako let out a chuckle before handing the girl a mop. "Yes, and it seems like you're replacing her job for today, eighth-chan."

"Call me Y/n when Nene-chan's around." She took the mop from Nene. "It would be weird to call me eighth. Plus, they only heard of hearing seven mysteries, not eight." She then started mopping.

Hanako floated beside her, making sure not to leave a stain on the parts she had cleaned up. "But you're still a school mystery though." Hanako smiled. "A secret one, as a matter of fact!"

That's right. L/n Y/n is non-other than the hidden school mystery.

"Yeah, it's not something to be proud of..." Y/n smiled. "The past Aimi-sans were definitely rude."

"Oh yes! I've met them and they weren't like how I expected them to be." Hanako then looked over at Y/n, who was busy cleaning up. "I like you better, eighth-chan."

What.

Y/n froze and looked at Hanako with a blank look on her face.

"Don't look at me like that."

"How can I not?"

Y/n gave Hanako a glare. "And what's with Yashiro cleaning this place up? It's not that dirty, maybe a little dusty, other than that, it's pretty neat." Hanako then placed a finger on his lip and looked up in thought.

"You could say that this might be her temporary job until I need her help. It's not really necessary to carry humans around." Hanako sighed. Y/n just nodded, not wanting to question it any further.

"And what about you? Why are you here?" Hanako asked as he floated around the girl. "Aren't you supposed to be in the 4pm bookstacks organizing that place up?"

"Now that I think of it, this place is cleaner than that place." Hanako raised a brow upon seeing Y/n look at him. "Seven-sama, are you willing to take me away from spider-sensei?"

Spider-sensei?

He's still my teacher!

"Uh.." Hanako looked away. "I want to, but I'm already bounded to a human. I don't wanna be troubled with more.."

"That's oddly rude, you know, with me being a human."

"Partly school mystery."

"By the way." Y/n placed the mop by the side and went towards Hanako, who was just sitting on the window sill. "If you roam around the school with Yashiro, then I should warn you this..."

She held his shoulder and look up at him with a deadpan look on her face. "Don't even mess with the school cause there's a handsome, pretty boy who turned out to be deadly to us school mysteries.."

"I don't know what can be scarier, your expression or that exorcist..."

♡︎ Sorry-excuse-
of-a-slime.

Nene-chan hasn't been paying any attention to class at all, Y/n thought as she looked at the ombré-haired girl who kept glancing at a certain boy. Yup, she's definitely thinking about Fuji-kun and their so-called rendezvous.

Y/n then spotted a dark blob right behind Nene's chair. She squinted her eyes to see what could it have been, but the shadows made it hard for her.

Now, what in the world is that? Some sort of failed slime? Y/n turned away from it before leaning her head against her table. Fortunately, she was in the back row and the teacher couldn't care less about her.

Is there a new mystery? I swear did some rumor start up again? She turned to the direction of the dark blob. But unfortunately, it was already gone.

"Yashiro?" The teacher called out. Y/n's eyes landed on the girl, who was standing up in panic as she looked for her belongings.

"Eh.. you can borrow this, Yashiro-san.."

♡︎ AFTER CLASS...

"Nothing from me is missing..." Y/n checked her bag once more before facing Akane and Yamabuki, who were both looking into Akane's bag in search for the red head's Hanitaro.

"What's a Hanitaro?" Yamabuki asked.

"It's a Haniwa."

What even are those. Y/n then looked back infront as she thought of who the culprit could be. And of course, a certain apparition popped up in mind.

"I swear if these are the Mokkes I'm gonna have to teach them a lesson." Y/n leaned against her chair as she looked at the chaotic mess infront of her (practically her classmates looking for their stuff). "But that failed-excuse-of-a-slime was too slimey to be the Mokkes."

In Y/n's view, the Mokkes were these cute, little bunnies who ask for candy everyday and steal stuff from people. But they wouldn't do something like this, you know, stealing something in plain sight.

Well, maybe they do.

Suddenly, screams echoed throughout the hallways, causing everyone in the classroom to look outside.

"Hey! It's terrible!"

What's going on? Y/n rushed out and took a peek on what was going on. There, she saw what happened to be the most surprising view of all.

"The locker doors disappeared!"

"Wait." Y/n froze as realization hit her like a truck. Slowly, her feet started walking on its own, going towards her very own locker. "My stash of chocolates..."

She failed to notice the incident which happened right behind her. All she could hear was someone running away from the crowd screaming some words Y/n couldn't comprehend.

Upon arriving at her locker, she sighed upon seeing that the door was still intact. Slowly, she started opening the locker door and...

♡︎ With the panicked radish...

"Get him, Hakujoudai!" Nene crouched down, looking away from the multi-eyed monster she had encountered at the old school building.

She almost sighed in relief when hearing Hanako's voice. She slowly sat up, her hands still covering her head incase some monster would attack her again.

"You seem to get caught up with a lot of hot guys and supernaturals, don't you, Yashiro?" Nene then moved her gaze towards the apparition walking towards her, eyes still brimming with tears from the terrifying experience. "That's not good, you gotta be more careful."

The boy then crouched down, face-to-face with the girl. "You humans die rather easily." He gave her a smile. "Okay?"

"Hanako-san..."

He saved me again.. Nene thought as she stared at the apparition infront of her in awe. But before she could even say anything else, footsteps started echoing the hallways.

"Uh oh." A pink bunny-like creature landed on Yashiro's head before hiding from whatever was coming towards them.

"Wait, what do you mean uh oh?" Hanako took his knife out by instinct. The rest of the bunnies then his behind the two, all cowering in fear as the footsteps became louder.

"You pink, chocolate-stealing bastards!"

Hanako and Nene's ears both perked up upon hearing the oddly familiar voice. They then spotted an H/c-haired girl stomping her way over to them.

"Get out of- wait, what." The girl deadpanned upon making eye contact with the two.

"Y/n.. chan..?" Nene raised a brow as her head tilted to the side in utter confusion. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh? Yashiro's friend!" Hanako floated towards her, keeping his knife away. "What a lovely surprise! Were you here for the Mokkes?"

"Mokke?"

"That's right." Hanako then turned Yashiro around for her to face the bunnies. "these are the Mokkes."

"Also known as the fairy!" he quickly added.

"They've been living around humans for a long time and are known for stealing and pulling pranks on people. They're considerably different from the thing you saw before." Yashiro cringed at the thought of the huge blob from earlier.

"The Mokkes are weak and cowardly supernaturals. When they feel threatened, they combine themselves and transform themselves into the thing you saw earlier. That's why they're not really the type of supernatural who would go around attacking humans."

"We also didn't mean to kill," a mokke spoke up. "But our story was changed."

"There was no other way.."

"Story?" Nene let out in confusion.

"They're talking about the rumors," Hanako replied. "Most supernaturals cannot defy the rumors. If they were to act differently from the rumors, they'll soon simply cease to exist."

"They'll disappear.." Nene mumbled as she stared at the Mokkes in pity.

"Yashiro." Nene faced Hanako. "Won't you-"

"Hey, hey. Hold up." Y/n cut the male apparition and stepped in between them with her arms crossed. "I'm still here for a certain reason so before you go changing rumors let me just talk to these little piece of-"

"Y/n?" The girl paused as she realized Nene was still there.

"Piece of poop."

"Poop?"

"Oh? What did they do?" Hanako floated beside the H/c-haired girl. "Steal something again? They won't listen to you anyways, I don't get why you keep-"

"You shut up, seve-" Y/n smiled, quickly erasing her mistake. "Hanako-san."

"Hehe.. almost got you there."

"Now." Y/n glared at the Mokkes, who all trembled underneath her gaze. "Where's that one chocolate I placed in my locker? I counted, and counted, but ONE is missing." She looked at each one of them. "Which one of you took it?"

Instantly, all the Mokkes pointed their ears towards the one at the very side.

Y/n gave it a glare before walking towards it and picking it up. "You're coming with me."

She then gave Nene and Hanako a look. "Are you both gonna stay here? If so, then I'll be with you guys."

"Eh.. I'll just go with you, Y/n-chan.." Nene quickly went towards her. "What about you, Hanako-san?"

"Sure!"

♡︎ All is well. A day later..
Location: SC Office.

"Here, tell Tiara-chan to take care of it." Y/n gave Minamoto Teru a close-eyed smile before giving him a basket with the purified Mokke. Teru smiled before ruffling the girl's hair.

"She'll love it, L/n-san."

And thus, the reason why the Mokkes never want to mess with L/n Y/n.

♡︎ + Bonus Scene

"I still wonder how Y/n-chan's belongings never got stolen," Aoi wondered as she watered the plants.

Nene, who was beside her, quickly looked over at Y/n's seat. She then remembered Y/n's impact to the Mokkes yesterday. Instantly, she realized why.

"I also wonder..."
