All Beautiful Girls Want to Stick with Me

”The Six Wonders? In other words, something happened that caused the legend of the Six Wonders to become the Seven Wonders?”

After listening to Kotomi Izumi’s explanation, Iroha Isshiki asked curiously.

”That’s right.”

Kotomi Izumi nodded, then continued. To preserve the atmosphere, she deliberately lowered her voice:

”As for the exact reason, I haven’t been enrolled for very long myself, so I’m not too sure. I only remember that some kind of incident happened back then, causing Sobu High School to abandon its old schoolhouse and construct a new one—the main building where we attend classes now. The year the old schoolhouse was abandoned and the new one entered use was also the year Sobu High School’s Six Wonders became the Seven Wonders.”

Kotomi Izumi spoke in a mysterious tone, as though she were telling a ghost story.

Although, at the moment, she really was telling something like a ghost story...

”That sounds so creepy...” Aimi Izumi shrank back slightly. She was not particularly brave, yet whenever Kotomi told ghost stories, she always listened more attentively than anyone else.

The reason was simple. Aimi felt that she could use the opportunity to hide in Kotomi’s arms and act spoiled while listening to ghost stories.

In other words, her true intention had nothing to do with the ghost stories themselves.

The moment Aimi heard that Kotomi was going to tell a ghost story, she immediately perked up and planned to find an opportunity to throw herself into Kotomi’s arms. Unexpectedly, ever since Kotomi returned to the bedroom, she had remained seated beside Iroha Isshiki. The distance between them left Aimi, who was still weak after her fever had only recently subsided, completely unable to leap into Kotomi’s embrace.

As a result, Aimi was now listening fearfully to the ghost story without any way to throw herself into Kotomi’s arms and act spoiled. All she could do was sit on the bed, wrapped in a quilt and trembling as she listened to Kotomi’s tale.

”Senpai, what were Sobu High School’s original Six Wonders, and what was the newly added seventh wonder?”

”If I remember correctly, the Six Wonders were:

[The vengeful spirit of a girl in blue wandering through the school], [The piano in the old schoolhouse’s music room that plays by itself], [The charred ghostly silhouette on the window of Class 1-B on the old schoolhouse’s third floor], [The blood-soaked doll hiding in the swimming pool changing room in search of someone to die in its place], [The hanging rope dwelling in the ceiling of the old schoolhouse], and [The blood-faced female ghost who stands on the roof of the old schoolhouse at midnight, glaring resentfully across the entire campus].

”As for the seventh wonder... Sorry, I can’t remember it clearly. Once school starts tomorrow, I’ll find a chance to ask some of the second- or third-year students. They should know the full story.”

After saying this, Kotomi Izumi thought that since they had nothing else to do, she might as well tell Aimi and Iroha each of Sobu High School’s Six Wonders in detail.

”Iroha, don’t you want to apply to Sobu High School? With your grades, getting accepted won’t be difficult. Would you like me to give you a detailed explanation of Sobu High School’s Six Wonders right now?”

”Since you have the time, I’ll be troubling you, Senpai.”

Iroha Isshiki nodded. Although she was interested in the mysterious legends, what she really wanted was to spend more time with Kotomi.

If Kotomi explained all six mysterious legends in detail, it would take at least several dozen minutes. That would allow Iroha to remain with her for a while longer!

Kotomi wanted to talk, and Iroha wanted to listen, but Aimi was the least pleased of all.

”No, no, no!”

Aimi, who had been enduring it all this time, finally exploded. With a trace of childish resentment, she protested:

”Don’t tell them! Don’t tell them! I’m scared!”

”Huh? Aimi, you’re actually afraid of ghost stories?”

Kotomi Izumi looked slightly surprised. When she and Aimi had slept together before, Kotomi had often told her ghost stories before they fell asleep. Although Aimi always acted frightened, she would hide in Kotomi’s arms each time and then ask Kotomi to continue.

Because of this, Kotomi had always assumed that Aimi was reasonably brave and both frightened by and interested in things like ghost stories and urban legends.

Moreover, whenever Kotomi told ghost stories in the past, Aimi would fall fast asleep in her arms before long, sleeping very soundly.
