A Ghost Rider's Journey Vol. 7: The Cat, The Raven And Ghost(x Gravity Rush)

Chapter 12

The following day we went to the station and found out the trains already started to work.

It was rather weird actually, but who am I to complain?

Me:"It seems the next train should go in few minutes."

Kat:"Well, that's convenient. I wonder how Pleajeune is."

Me:"We'll find out soon enough. Let's go close."

However, when we climbed the stairs we found two familiar faces.

Aujean:"Hey, it's you!"

Me:"Great..."

Kat:"Oh, not this again...Look, I told you before, I was trying to SAVE your house, ok? I just slipped and-"

Aujean:"No, no, not that! You brought back the missin' town, didn't you!? The 'girl with the black cat' and the 'burning talking skeleton' is the talk of the city."

I flinched at that. How could people know?

Kat:"Uh...'burning talking skeleton'?"

Aujean:"Yeah, people are gettin' crazy! They believe it's some sort of demon sent to slay the Nevi. And from the description, his clothes were similar to you, kid."

That was even worse.

I noticed Kat started to look at me worried, but I shrugged.

Me:"What can I say, this is my way of dressing up."

Aujean:"Well, whatever, the train is back in service! Mmm, I'll bet that place in Pleajeune is open again...Oops, did I say that out loud?"

Me:"Yes."

Eugie:"What place, dad? I want to go too!"

Aujean:"Slow down, boy. You're a decade too young..."

Ghost Rider:'Even more.'

Aujean:"...but hey, Pleajeune's got the best school in Hekseville. Study hard, and maybe you'll get in!"

Me:"School..."

I got so dragged in wars, different dimensions and deads that I almost forgot that in my world I still had to reach Hakoniwa Academy.

But who knew how much time passed there.

Kat:"Pleajeune's the entertainment district, isn't it? Y-You seem pretty happy that it's back!"

Aujean:"Uh? Oh, of course I am! It's been so long since-"

Me:"Oh, what a shame, the train is here. Sorry, you'll say it next time. Come on, Kat."

Kat:"Wha-sure!"

Aujean:"But...I didn't even..."

I grabbed her wrist and went away from the drinking nuisance, until I slapped my forehead.

Kat:"Y/N? What's wrong?"

Me:"We forgot the important thing, the tickets."

Kat:"Tickets? What for?"

Me:"Well, how else you want to take the train?"

Kat:"But we don't have to, we just need it to give us a ride."

I had some trouble to understand what she meant, until I realised.

She grabbed my hand and we both went to the roof.

Kat:"See? Now we'll reach Pleajeune and we have a nice view."

Me:"I don't know...it doesn't seem legal."
