The 4PM Book Stacks 2

This old man is School Mystery Number 5

also known as the keeper of the 'The 4 pm BookStacks',

Tsuchigomori

Let's play nice now, Kay?

Mr. Tsuchigomori held my chin as he looked down at me "So, what'll be? Talk or stay quiet it doesn't matter to me"

"F-fine! I'll Talk! I'll Say My Secret!!" he tilted his head curiously as I grabbed a microphone.

I'm Amane Yugi, the pure-hearted hero of this story

In an attempt to learn Tsubaki's secret Kou and I found School Mystery Number 5 The BookStacks

But how did we get here, revealing our darkest deepest secret

"I can't believe Mystery Number 5 is one of our teachers," Kou said while looking up at Tsuchigomori hanging above us on the ceiling with spiderwebs, his many arms handling books with his eyes locked on a white book as he smokes from his long pipe "It's not that unusual, quite a few supernaturals have chosen to blend in with humans. We supernaturals need rumors of ourselves to keep circulating or we can't stay near the shore. It's crucial for us to spread our own rumors. While there are other reasons for this. . . the main one being convenience" He spoke, huffing out a long stream of smoke from his mouth "Who knows, a friend might turn out to be another weaker supernatural"

"But, doesn't that mean we're in danger?" I asked thinking about the people around me like Yashiro or Aoi "You don't worry your pretty little head about a thing! That's why we're here, so no one gets hurt!" Tsubaki yelled out cheerfully as she held up her hands "We Are The Seven School Mysteries"

Tsuchigomori then raised his hand and continued in a bored voice "We supervise all supernaturals that exist in this school"

"and maintain proper relation between people and supernaturals" Yako ended with a dry sigh at the end

"In simple human language, we scare people buuut, we're basically a team of super awesome friends who fight for peace and justice in this here school" Tsubaki smiled pointing at the other two supernaturals "I'm the leader of course"

"But there's only two of you?" Kou asked counting on his fingers confused "And wasn't Yako attacking students like a week ago?" I asked looking over at my teacher and Yako

"They're talking about you stupid fox" Tsuchigomori replied dryly as he exhaled smoke from his pipe "I'll rip your head off you emo spider!" Yako screamed growling at him as he glared back at her

"You guys are no friends" I commented at the two "Nevermind seven, there's zero friends" Kou yelled out. Tsubaki laughed walking over to her 'friends' with a smile "Aww, come on you two" her hand slipped into her uniform and pulled out her knife "We are friends~" She commanded threateningly as the two cowered beneath the girl "Yes, ma'am" they replied as a shiver went down there spine "At least we know she's the leader" we thought with a shiver

"Like I was saying, we're a team of friends who keep peace at this school but apparently one of us seven . . . is a traitor. Somehow they tied their fate with a human and are using them to spread altered versions of supernatural rumors to suit their plan. As a result, supernaturals are turning savage and Number 2 was sadly a victim of these rumors" Tsubaki stated as he closed her eyes
