Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 118

"Excuse me, Pioneer. I’ll go first. I’m fine going alone."

The Chief casually volunteered to be the first to jump from the altar.

Since the first altar required someone to go alone, it made sense for a leader to take the initiative. Meanwhile, I needed to stay behind until the very end to coordinate and ensure the rest of the passengers were ready.

But, as it turned out, the Chief wouldn’t be going entirely alone.

"Then... I’ll go too! For the first one!"

"Might as well get it over with right away."

There were so many volunteers that several passengers ended up going with her to the first altar.

Just before the jump, I issued one last caution.

"You still have a chance to back out."

Even at the final crossroads, not a single person withdrew.

"Let’s go!"

"Aaaaah!"

The group of over seven people, led by the Chief, hurled themselves through the windows toward the first altar.

Well, it didn’t really matter.

"Alright, you’ll jump at the second altar—"

"No, I want to jump with you, Pioneer. At the very end. It has to be with you."

"...Fine."

"What a rude fellow."

That he was.

From behind, I overheard him whispering to his companions:

"Hey, what’s with you? Why are you suddenly volunteering to jump?"

"Can’t you tell? It’s obvious. If you jump, you probably get some special ability or reward. You’ve got to ride the momentum at times like this."

Hmm.

‘...What a misunderstanding.’

"I bet the whole ‘it’ll hurt’ thing is just to scare us off."

Nope.

‘It’s going to hurt. A lot.’

"Oh no! Did he lose the role to you, Soleum?""Ah, will you be using the marvelous painkiller again, my friend?"“You’re like a celebrity avoiding rabid fans, Soleum.”
