『Good Morning, Miss Ghost』

Chapter 26: Friend

The woman's voice was not very loud and it had a sort of a gentle lilt to it, but it really scared Mo Zhen. Anyone who heard a strange woman's voice coming from their house would be surprised.

"Meow," Ah Yao called out, stopping the paw that was ready to start up the computer. Mo Zhen also looked over at the direction the woman's voice was coming from.

In fact, he felt that using the term 'woman' was not appropriate, because although there was technically a woman in front of him, she was floating in the air.

He could suddenly feel a headache coming on.

He had thought that being able to see Ah Yao was an accident. Since long ago, other than Ah Yao, he hasn't been able to see any other ghosts. But now that a ghost has appeared out of thin air, he suspected that the spell Master cast over him has already reached its shelf life.

"Hey~ Mr. Mo," A woman's voice interrupted the silence of his thoughts. He raised his head and looked at a woman. The latter was floating in the air, excitedly waving her arms at him.

"Ah, meow meow meow meow." At this time, Ah Yao also called to the woman, waving her small paws in front of her. It seemed as she was desperately trying to introduce the woman to Mo Zhen.

Mo Zhen bit his lip, and said to Ah Yao: "Talk in human please."

Ah Yao: "..."

"Pff." Hearing Mo Zhen's words, the woman let out a giggle and bent down to Ah Yao on the table, her eyes shaping into crescents. "Did I not teach you how to come out from the cat?"

"Meow woo!" As if she had suddenly understood, Ah Yao's eyes lit up and with her four small short legs, she solemnly stood on the table, and then suddenly... She rolled on the table.

Mo Zhen: "..."

The air around them seemed to have a slight fluctuation. Mo Zhen could feel a breeze going through his hair as he heard a loud cry near his ear, "I came out!"

Mo Zhen turned his head and was not surprised to find himself looking at that familiar figure, with her navy blue dress, and black hair that went down to her waist as it swayed a bit from the movement.

"Zhen Zhen, I finally came out!" Ah Yao excitedly floated in front of Mo Zhen, dancing around him in a circle.

Mo Zhen's mouth slanted in amusement as he looked at Ah Yao - who had finally stopped dancing, and earnestly said: "Now that you've come out, you have to properly be a good person. Don't go back in."

Ah Yao "..."

Can this line be really used in this kind of situation? Zhen Zhen is joking right right?

"Ha ha ha." The strange woman clutched her stomach as she laughed her heart out. Mo Zhen believed that if the ghosts could shed tears, she would've filled at least a bucket by now from laughing so hard.

"Meow." The faint cry of a cat rang out from the table. The little black cat that Ah Yao had possessed finally woke up, staggering as it tried to stand up. Ah Yao looked at the small trembling kitten and in her heart, she felt a little guilty. "Zhen Zhen, the kitten is very pitiful. We should keep it for a while."

To tell the truth, with Mo Zhen's lazy character, if Ah Yao hadn't been trapped in the kitten's body, there was no way he would raise a kitten in his home. But the kitten really did look weak, and since Ah Yao had mentioned it, he could only nod in agreement.

He did not know exactly when it began, but lately he has been unable to refuse Ah Yao's requests.

Setting the well-behaved kitten aside, Ah Yao finally remembered that she had to introduce her new friend to Mo Zhen. "Zhen Zhen, this is my good friend..." Ah Yao said, and then paused. Her mouth hung open, but no sound came out of it. After a long time, she finally turned and said to the woman, "What is your name?"
