《Exorcism 101: Where Love can Cure Ghost Possession》Episode 15 - Can I seriously make a popular idol fall for me within 3 days?
Advertisement
When I opened my eyes, I found myself still in the situation I left earlier, my forehead is still touching Laira’s forehead. I stood up and looked at my father and principal.
“Orel…” both of them said with a worried face.
“It’s a success,” I said with a serious face.
Suddenly, the light around Laira disappeared, the proof that the curse has been lifted.
“One left!” both of them shouted with a very happy expression. They held hands and jumped like fools to celebrate my success.
Not that again. That is the third time you know.
“Jeez. Laira...get well soon."
“Then, did you unlock another color again?” my father asked.
“Yeah. It’s the color green.”
“Good job. By the way, did you experience its side effect?” my father suddenly asked with a strange smile.
“Yeah. But…it’s kinda strange.”
“The inability to control your sexual urge, right?”
“So it is really like that after all.”
“But you will only experience that side-effect if…you used that power in peeping,” he followed while nodding with crossed arms and shut eyes.
“!”
“You better have a good explanation about it,” he continued while grinning.
“Well, I got scared because of the crowd and…hid inside a locker…but I swear! I didn’t know that they will change their clothes there!” I explained in a flustered tone.
My father then burst into laughter and replied, “Why are you that flustered. Don’t worry, I believe you.”
“This father of mine…” I thought to myself with my usual squinty eyes.
“But you did well on unlocking the green color.”
“Anyway, it turns me into an invisible human, right?”
“Yeah. It is called the ‘Stealth Cloak’. It gives you the power of invisibility. But let me warn you again. If you used it for peeping, you will be taken over by your lust for an hour. That is why it doesn’t have a definite side-effect every time you used it like some colors that you’ve unlocked already.”
“I understand,” I replied seriously.
“Then, it’s all good.”
“Did somebody already unlock all the colors?” I asked.
“Only John. Right now, a boy named ‘Kenny’ had access to all six colors. I think he is also around your age,” my father replied.
“I see.”
“Orel, my goddaughter will be next, right?” the principal asked with a worried face.
Jeez.
“Yes, sir,” I said with a smile.
Suddenly, he cried like a child and said, “Finally…finally!”
Aimy, huh.
“Dad…” I whispered.
“Why?”
“I am not sure…if I can save her,” I said with a sad expression.
“Jeez. That one earlier is just a joke. Don’t take it seriously.”
“…”
Because of it, my father gave me a wry smile and said, “Didn’t you get enough confidence after saving three lives?”
“Well…”
“What did you learn in Sheena’s world?” he asked with a sudden serious look.
“Learned? I learned that…you can never get anything without your fullest effort.”
“In Meryl’s world?”
“I leaned to…trust my decisions.”
“In Laira’s world?”
“I learned to…not give up until the end.”
”Excellent,” he followed with a smile.
“…”
“You finished all three missions with your own ability so trust that ability until the end. I don’t have anything to teach you anymore. Complete your last mission and come back here…as an excellent exorcist.”
“Thanks, Dad. I will, definitely,” I replied with a smile.
“You’re welcome. Then, are you fine now?”

“Yup,” I replied with serious eyes..
“You can do it, Orel. Remember this. You are not alone.”
Jeez, how ironic.
That’s right. I can’t reach this far…without a help of someone. I’ve surely changed after becoming an exorcist.
“Orel, I leave her to you,” the principal followed with trusting eyes.
“I will do my best,” I replied.
I slowly walked towards Aimy’s bed and stopped before her. I drew closer to her face and did the usual start.
When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a pavement near the pedestrian lane. A different place, huh. That means that I will meet her here. But this is indeed strange. If Aimy really started attending our school, that news will surely go around the school but it didn't happen in all three worlds. Does that mean that...something will happen to her today that will prevent her from attending the school?
Suddenly, my cross emitted a very bright violet light.
"What the..." I reacted with a shocked expression.
I'm already at the last three days? Why? I just started you know. Does this mean that...I have to make an extremely popular idol fall for me within three days? Impossible! In anime shows, an idol is an extremely difficult target. You have to stand out among the average so she can notice your existence. But me...forget about standing out...my existence itself is in the level of a ghost!
*beep* a car horned loudly.
In my surprise, a girl of my school suddenly crossed the pedestrian lane even though the light is still green. When I looked carefully at the road, I suddenly found a black cat. Is she trying to save the cat? She will not make it!
Suddenly, my cross flashed the red light and formed these choices:
[Rescue her.]
[Don't and just stand by.]
“Like I’ll just stand here and do nothing!” I shouted and immediately ran as fast as I can towards the girl. After I hugged her and grabbed the cat on its tail, I immediately jumped towards the pavement.
"Ouch…" I muttered after landing in the asphalt.
The truck didn't even stop. That driver...
My back…it hurts!
Saving a girl and a cat from an accident, huh. That is indeed the most dramatic moment of my life.
"Are you okay?" I asked to the red head girl which is currently lying above me. Well, I protected her from hitting the asphalt by turning around in mid-air before collision. Thanks to that, I am the only one who hit the asphalt directly....and the cat. The cat immediately ran away from us like nothing happened. Jeez. That is the least gratitude I've ever received in my life.
"A...it ran away...kitty," she said with a sad face as she watch the cat ran away, still lying on top of me.
"Miss...can you please kindly get off me. The crowd is staring at us," I muttered to her.
After realizing her position, she immediately stood up and offered me a hand.
"Thanks," I said and took it.
After I stood up, she said, "Thank you. If you didn’t save me, I might be lying on that road covered with blood now."
This girl, why is she wearing a cap and a joke glasses? Wait...that cap and joke glasses...
"!"
She is without a doubt Aimy in disguise. Should I pretend that I still don't know her?
"Let’s go," she said and grabbed my hand.
"Wh-where are we going?" I asked with a slight surprised face.

Before I know it, we are now in the back of the main building of our school.
"Once again, I give you my thanks..." the girl said with a smile.
Is she perhaps asking for my name?
"Orel. Orel."
"Thanks, Orel. My name is Aireen Mary. You can call me Aimy if you want," she introduced with a smile.
So that is why her screen name is Aimy.
"Well, I already know you because you are quite famous."
She then removed her cap and joke glass so she can show me her face.
She gave me a smile and asked, "Aren’t you surprised?"
“From what?” I asked in an indifferent face.
“Well, you are talking to me like I am a friend and not an idol. When I talk to boys around your age, they always make this nervous face you see,” she continued with a smile.
“Then, should I act like one now?”
“You don’t need to. In fact, I like that kind of treatment.”
“I see. By the way, how old are you?”
“Jeez. Don’t you know that asking a girl’s age is quite rude?” she said and pouted. How can she still be this cute with that facial expression?
Well, I am just curious. She is about the same height as me which makes her extremely tall for a girl around my age.
“Sorry. It’s fine if you don’t want to,” I followed seriously.
“Eighteen, how about you?” she asked with a smile.
“Sixteen.”
“So are you at 11th grade?” she asked.
“Yup. So you’re a 12th grader right?” I questioned.
“Still at 11th grade. I stopped attending school because of my work you see. That means that there’s a possibility that I will be assigned in your class. Then, I’m going to the Principal’s office so…later, Orel,” she waved farewell with a smile.
“Later.”
She is quite cheerful as Meryl.
Well, because of her, I am half an hour earlier here than the last three loops.
“Time to listen to Meryl’s lecture.”
Thanks to that heroic deed that I did earlier, I left a huge first impression on her mind. Because of that, the chance that she will fall for me within 3 days is now around 5 percent. Seriously, can I really make her fall for me?
After that, I decided to go to my classroom.
“OT!” Meryl shouted just after I stepped inside my classroom.
“…”
“Why did you escape yesterday? Do you know how hard it is to clean with only two people?”
“I just have some important matters to attend to yesterday so I’m sorry,” I replied with a serious face.
She puffed her cheeks and stared at me with furrowed eyebrows.
“Will you promise that you will not escape anymore without a notice?” Meryl asked.
“I promise. I will even treat you anything you want if I break it,” I replied.
Because of what I’ve said, she gave me a smile and said, “It’s a promise then.”
After I sat down on my seat, I once again noticed someone’s stare. When I looked at its source, I found Laira. Surprised from my sudden glimpse, she immediately averted her gaze to her right side.
Well, I just have to ignore her. As long as I don’t talk to Maria, she won’t confess to me. After the bell chimed, our adviser entered the room. I am really early. I didn’t know that Ms. Sarrah will go here before we go to the Gym.
"Announcement. You have a new classmate. Well, the reason why she enrolled here is quite complicated so ask her yourself. Aimy, you can enter now.”
Suddenly, an extremely beautiful girl with a long sleek red hair entered the room.
She will be...my classmate?
"It’s nice to meet all of you. My name is Aireen Mary. You can call me Aimy if you want," she introduced with a smile.
"A...A...Aimy?!" the whole class reacted with a very surprised expression.
“!”
Before I know it, my classmates are now surrounding her.
“She’s the real deal!” one of my classmate reacted.
“Oh my god!” another screamed.
"Aimy, why are you here?" one other asked.
"C-can you give me an autograph!" one classmate requested.
“I can’t see her. Don’t block my way! I want to see her!" the other complained.
"Aimy, look here! I want to take your picture!" another requested.
Just like that, my classmates turned into zombies desperate on getting close to their prey.
"Hey! Can you stop that? Class will now start," Meryl shouted.
Well, that won't be enough. Only three persons have a natural vaccine in their bodies to prevent them from crossing the line. That is me, Meryl and Laira.
"Will you stop that? Class is already starting," Ms. Sarrah whispered while looking down.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Suddenly, a chalk hit my forehead, strong enough to knock me out of my seat. All of my classmates saw that and got silent to protect their lives from the real ghoul.
"Now, return to your respective seats," she said with a scary smile.
After that, all of my classmates returned to their respective seats like obedient pets.
I immediately stood up and shouted, "Why did you throw a chalk at my forehead?"
"Well, if I didn’t do that, they will never shut up."
"I am not even one of them, you know! How about picking a target on those Aimy fanatics and not me!"
"Okay, let’s start the class."
Are you ignoring me?
"Ma'am..."Aimy called.
"A...I forgot There is no seat left. Auti, can you please get a chair and a table at the storage room?"
"Me?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Right," she answered instantly.
I glared at her and said "Who--”
“Who? ‘Who are you to order me around?’ Is that what you’re going to say?” she interjected with a scary face of a demon in human form.
Scary! What the heck should I do?
Suddenly, the cross once again formed two sentences.
[Follow her.]
[Never!]
Wait. I think that this event will help me on my mission.
"Who…who will not follow an outstanding and charismatic teacher like you. That is what I’m about to say," I said with a forced grin.
"Good," she said with a sudden bright smile.
This old hag...
Because of her order, I immediately went outside.
"Ma'am, I will go with Orel,” Aimy volunteered.
Good, she took the bait.
"Huh? I’m fine. I can handle it alone," I replied.
"He’s right. Just stay here and wait," Ms. Sarrah followed.
"Well, I might feel bad because that is my seat so….”
"Then, do what you want," Ms. Sarrah replied.
"Ma'am, can I help Orel?" some boy suddenly volunteered.
"Huh? I will be the one who will help Orel!" another one followed.
"Shut up! I’m the strongest here so I am the right company for Orel!" another exclaimed.
Why don't you replace Orel with Aimy? Anyway, even if you call me like that this late, I won't let you join me.
"Shut up, all of you! Auti and Aimy, hurry up so we could start the class."
"Yes," both of us replied.
Just like that, we are now heading towards the storage room near the gymnasium.
"Sorry earlier," she suddenly said while we are going down the stairs.
"For what?"
"You got knocked out by that unbelievable chalk, right?"
Why don’t you say teacher and not chalk?
"It’s not your fault. That owner of that chalk is the real responsible for that."
"But..."
"Then, boy1 got killed by boy2 using a chain saw because boy 1 punched girl1. Now, who will be jailed?"
"Huh?"
"Just answer it."
"Boy2, right?"
"How about girl1? She is the reason of the crime, right?"
“…”
“You represent the girl1 and Ma’am Sarrah represents the boy2 so with that said, you don’t have to feel that responsible.”
After my explanation, I suddenly heard a chuckle.
"Huh? Is there something wrong about my explanation?"
"Nope. I just thought that you are an amusing one," she said with a smile.
Is it because of my example or just my face? I definitely don’t want the latter.
"You see, I stopped attending school before because of my hectic work."
"So that is why you are back here. To continue studying, right?"
"Yes but…there are other reasons too."
"Like what?"
"I enrolled here because I am currently in a slump."
"Slump?"
"I can’t think of a new song. It’s been almost a year since I composed my last song after all. That is why I decided to stop working until I’ve composed a new song in order to focus on that alone."
"And you’re searching for an idea here in this school, right?"
"Yup."
"Then, what are you planning to compose? What is it about?"
"The life of a high school student."
"We’re here," I said after we arrived at the front of the storage room.
Because I can only carry the small table, Aimy volunteered to carry her chair. Well it can't be helped.
"According to what you’ve said earlier," I said while we are going up the stairs.
"Hmm?"
"Do you want me to help you?"
"Really?" she asked with a smile.
"If it’s fine to you."
“Of course. Especially if it’s you,” she replied happily.
"I’m going to help you experience the life of a normal high school student, right?"
"Right."
"Then, I will do everything to help you achieve that but promise me that you will trust my decisions."
"Promise...?"
"That you will believe that my decisions are for your own sake."
She gave me a gentle smile and replied, "I promise."
"Then, let’s get going," I said and lifted the table.
"Wait."
"Why?"
"Can I get your number? That way, I can contact you anytime, right?"
Here it comes.
"Well, sure,” I replied and brought out my phone. “What’s yours?”
With that, I’ve acquired her phone number. Just wait, Aimy. I will make you fall for me.
