This chapter isn't in the anime/manga. It's a very cute/funny chapter, and I think I translated it correctly. lol. Anyway, if a sentence has ??? behind it, that means I'm not sure if it's translated correctly.

I Can't Sleep Due to the Abundance of Evil Spirits
Psychic

"What a troublesome case..." Naru said as he looked out the window.

John nodded in agreement.

"So it's come to this."

"Really?" Bou-san asked in a persistently carefree manner.

Naru shot Bou-san a disdainful stare. "Out of all the complaints we've received, how many do you think actually happened?"

"Well, at a glance there seems to be some misunderstandings," the monk responded.

"Strange incidents continue to occur in this school. No one feels comfortable anymore, and everyone feels like prisoners," John said to Naru.

"Since everyone feels so uneasy and frightened, they might experience hallucinations. This could be the reason why the girl possessed by a fox spirit became such a wreck. I know this sounds vague, but something similar to a curse must be causing this―At least, that's what I think. If this situation continues, the uneasiness will increase, and people will believe the school is haunted or that there's a curse. And then the clumsier people may panic."

"Right," Naru agreed.

"We can't determine whether or not these incidents are due to spiritual phenomena because of all the possible exceptions and the sheer amount of incidents that has occurred. Moreover...even if that's true, the amount is still abnormal. There must be a reason behind all this despite the fact that incidents only occur to those related to the school. Still, I haven't the slightest idea what those reasons could be..."

Everyone seemed deep in thought.

"Now the only one we can rely on is Hara-san..." Naru muttered indifferently.

Hara-san raised an eyebrow before responding, "...There are no spirits in this school."

Naru let out a sigh upon hearing Masako's voice.

"...So that's your conclusion. Have we reached a dead end this soon?"

"Maybe Masako is right?" asked Ayako.

Masako turned towards her. "Matsuzaki-san is undoubtedly correct."

"Exactly. However you think about it, if the ghosts aren't there, then there's no way they are the cause." Ayako's remark was thickly coated in sarcasm.

Masako turned toward Naru. "Kazuya-san believes me, right?"

Right. I... I'm absolutely disgusted with you saying "Kazuya-san" like that. I hate it when you do that!
