Got Dropped into a Ghost Story, Still Gotta Work

Chapter 142

I successfully made a legitimate purchase in this insane ghost story of Lucky Mart, using a gift certificate.

"..."

I grabbed the purchased items and guided the trembling high school student away from the cashier. To avoid revealing my missing arm, I casually draped my jacket over my shoulder and stepped out of the checkout area.

One step. Two steps.

Taking a deep breath, I turned back to look—

"...!"

The bizarre aspects of the mart had all blurred away.

The eerie slogans, grotesque items, sinister bloodstains, and organs—they had all faded, as if a filter had been applied to my perception. Unless I focused intently, I couldn’t see them clearly anymore.

The high school student stumbled backward as a shopper they bumped into apologized, looking them directly in the eye.

"I’m sorry," the student stammered, retreating.

I quickly stepped in, guiding them to the side.

"Didn’t I tell you not to be surprised?"

"Y-Yes, sir!"

The student stuck close to me, their eyes now sparkling with a mix of awe and excitement.

"So... does that mean we can just walk out now?"

"Yes."
