Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?

"Uh... I remember Hiratsuka-sensei said we had to dress up as ghosts for the courage challenge, right?" 

Hikigaya Hachiman said, holding an extremely abstract alien costume, his lips twitching. 

"What kind of cheap cosplay is this?" 

Miura Yumiko also complained with a blank expression. 

The summer camp offered costumes like shrine maidens, wizards, and cat girl outfits, but there were no proper ghost costumes. 

Trying to scare people with these outfits seems a bit difficult. 

Despite endless complaints, everyone still picked and chose their outfits, settling on the ones they liked. 

Totsuka Saika, adjusting her witch hat, muttered, "Is a wizard considered a ghost? Doesn't seem scary at all, does it?" 

Hikigaya Hachiman adjusted the nonexistent glasses on his nose, silently thinking, "No, it's very scary. I feel like I'm about to dive into the Totsuka route, it's really terrifying." 

"Big brother, big brother." 

Suddenly, he felt a tap on his shoulder. Komachi, dressed in a cat girl outfit, waved her paw gloves and said, "Jingle jingle~!" 

"What's this? A cat monster?" 

"Maybe? I don't really understand, but as long as it's cute, it's fine!" 

Komachi said, grinning. 

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, surprised that she hadn't said anything about Komachi dressing as a cat girl. Was it because she had seen Panda-san, and now her resistance to furry Giorno was higher? 

"By the way, Yukinoshita, you didn't change into a costume. Did you not find anything you liked?" 

He looked at the black-haired girl, who was still wearing her usual clothes, and asked with a puzzled expression. 

"It's not that..." 

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly, and at that moment, the changing room door opened. 

A black-haired young man walked out from the changing room wearing a light blue women's kimono, his hands tucked into the sleeves. 

The lively room suddenly became quiet, everyone staring at Hayashizaki, unsure of what to say. 

Despite being male, the women's kimono actually suited him strangely well. The loose sleeves hung by his sides, and the fitted waist accentuated the satin fabric, showcasing his strong muscles and adding a soft feminine touch. 

The beauty and harmony that transcended gender were perfectly displayed on him. 

"White does look better after all." 

Hayashizaki walked over to the mirror, inspecting his appearance. He seemed unsatisfied with the kimono. 

This was natural, considering it was a cheap costume meant for cosplaying the Yuki-onna, and couldn't compare to a proper kimono. 

Looking at him like this, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but recall the first time Hayashizaki pulled her into the soul realm. 

Back then, Hayashizaki was wearing a white women's kimono and had mysterious black markings on his face, which made him look even more enchanting than now. 

"Somehow, he gives off a really noble vibe," 

Yuigahama Yui, dressed in a little devil costume, said in surprise.

Her gaze shifted back and forth between Hayashizaki and Yukinoshita Yukino, imagining how the kimono would look on the latter. 

In the end, she had to admit that Hayashizaki might actually wear it better than Yukinoshita Yukino. 

Yukinon's beauty was actually surpassed by a man in this area. 

No, no, it must be that Yuki-chan would look even better! 

The bun-haired girl quickly reassured herself in her mind, sticking firmly to her support for Yukinoshita Yukino. 

"That's looks great on you." 

Yukinoshita Yukino praised generously, "But I do think white would suit you even better." 

"Should I take it off and let you try it?" 

"No need, just wear it all the way until the courage test tonight." 

The black-haired girl smiled brightly, "It looks better on you than it does on me." 

Aside from the Hikigaya siblings who knew their relationship, others could vaguely sense from their conversation: is there something more than just a friendship between them? 

Turns out Yukinoshita likes this type, and she's older too, seems like she's even a teacher. 

Miura Yumiko raised an eyebrow, showing some surprise. 

She had thought Yukinoshita Yukino was the type of person who thought little of others because of her intelligence, but it seemed like even she could be drawn to a man's charm. 

Even Miura Yumiko, who had a thing for Hayama Shun, had to admit that when it came to looks, Hayama Shun couldn't compare to the other guy at all. 

But she wasn't the type to switch her affection just because someone else was better looking than Hayato. 

With this thought, the blonde girl couldn't help but show a self-satisfied smile, leaning a little closer to Hayama Hayato. 

...

...

After dinner, night fully fell, and a giant bonfire was lit. The flames leapt up, lighting up the surrounding area. The crackling sound of burning wood mixed with the popping sparks, perfectly setting the mood for the bonfire party. 

The elementary school students grouped up and, guided by the high schoolers, entered the forest for their adventure. 

The challenge was to reach the shrine deep in the forest along a designated route, take the charm left there, and return safely. 

The night forest was covered in an eerie, mysterious darkness. Moonlight filtered through the treetops, casting twisted shadows of the trees on the ground. The wind blew, rustling the leaves, adding to the chorus of bug sounds in the air. 

Along the way, the only real obstacle were the high schoolers dressed in cheap costumes pretending to be monsters to scare the kids. However, their silly outfits failed to scare anyone. 

It was clear from the elementary school kids waving cheerfully at Totsuka Saika, who was dressed as a wizard, and Yuigahama Yui, who was in a little devil costume. 

The atmosphere of the forest itself created a much darker vibe. 

This kind of courage test felt too dull. Even years later, when it became a topic at class reunions, everyone would just talk about the silly high schoolers in funny costumes, not about the actual challenge. 

So, to make it more memorable for the elementary schoolers, Hayashizaki decided to raise the intensity a bit. 

"Alright! You guys are the last group, hurry up and head out!" 

Komachi, dressed as a cat girl, announced with a microphone. 

The last group was Tsurumi Rumi and the four elementary school girls. 

After apologizing to the ones who had been left out earlier, Tsurumi Rumi's situation hadn't changed, but her mindset was completely different. 

No longer quietly trailing behind the others, fiddling with the digital camera hanging from her neck, she now confidently walked in front, holding one of the flashlights assigned to each group.

The four could only follow Tsurumi Rumi from a distance, not daring to get too far away from her. 

After all, without a flashlight, the forest at night could still be a bit scary, especially for the elementary school students who weren't very brave. 

"Tch, why does she still act all important and walk in front?" 

"You agree, right, Komori?" 

"Yeah, yeah! Hey, Yuka-chan, didn't Tsurumi apologize to you? I heard she apologized to a lot of people. It's so funny." 

"Hahaha, does she really think that apologizing will make everyone talk to her again?" 

The topic suddenly shifted to Yuka, and hearing her friends mock Tsurumi Rumi, for some reason, Yuka's mood turned a little irritated. But she still forced a smile and agreed, 

"Yeah, right, so stupid..." 

Really... so stupid, what's the point of apologizing? 

Just because you apologize, does that mean I'll forgive you? 

Back when everyone was excluding me, wasn't Hitomi and Komori the ones who mocked me behind my back? 

Yuka pouted, her thoughts swirling and chaotic. She didn't even notice the small devil, Yuigahama Yui, who suddenly jumped out of the bushes trying to scare her. 

Her friends' laughter, mocking the girl's outfit, filled her ears, but in her mind, it mixed with the mocking sounds from when she had been isolated before. 

"Ugh, I feel so stupid..." 

After being mocked so harshly, Yuigahama Yui stood there with a defeated posture, looking like she was about to cry. 

The five continued walking, soon spotting a small shrine up ahead, with a torii gate standing in front of it. The deep red color of the gate looked like solidified blood. 

The atmosphere seemed to grow eerie, and Tsurumi Rumi, who was walking in front, couldn't help but slow her pace. 

They passed under the torii gate, climbed the steps, and the flashlight shone on the amulet hanging above the money box. This was the purpose of their trip. 

All they had to do was take the amulet and return the way they came. 

The five gathered in front of the money box, and Hitomi, with her long, flowing hair, shoved Tsurumi Rumi aside and quickly grabbed the amulet. She turned around and gave Tsurumi a smug smile. 

Tsurumi Rumi sighed helplessly, then turned and started walking away, holding the flashlight. 

"Tch!" 

The dissatisfied click of her tongue could be heard behind her, but she ignored it and quietly focused on lighting the path. 

As she was stepping down the stairs, her foot suddenly caught on something. She stumbled, and the flashlight slipped from her hand, falling to the ground and possibly hitting the switch, causing the light to go out. 

Thankfully, she didn't fall and hurt herself. Tsurumi Rumi bent down to pick up the flashlight. 

A shadow blocked the moonlight, and the shadow fell over her. 

Looking up, she saw two pairs of blood-red eyes staring back at her, glowing with a strange red light in the darkness. 

Intricate black patterns were etched onto a handsome face, stretching down to a bare chest, while a half-open women's kimono was wrapped around his waist. 

The muscular figure seemed to be nearly two meters tall, and what was even more terrifying was the four thick arms crossing over his chest, like a demon looking down at the world. 

"Ah—!!" 

A shrill scream echoed through the silent forest, and the four girls trembled in fear, stepping back. 

They wanted to run, but the shrine was behind them, and beyond that, there were no more clear paths. They had nowhere to retreat. 

Tsurumi Rumi, standing before the demon-like figure, seemed frozen in place, staring up at him with wide, vacant eyes. She couldn't even scream. 

"G-ghost!" 

Hitomi screamed, pointing at Hayashizaki. 

The high-pitched scream hurt his ears, making him wince, and he glared back at her. 

"Ugh!" 

The girl immediately went silent, tears streaming down her face. 

After silencing her, Hayashizaki lowered his gaze to Tsurumi Rumi in front of him. 

Oh no, this child won't be scared out of their mind, will they?

Did we go too far?

"Wh-what should we do, Hitomi?"

"While that monster is deciding whether to eat Tsurumi, let's sneak away from the side quickly."

The four girls huddled together, their voices shaking despite their efforts to keep them quiet.

When Hayashizaki didn't move, the girls gained a bit more courage, planning to sneak away. 

Hayashizaki, however, seemed oblivious to their little movements. He was stroking his chin, thinking about whether a reversal technique could cure psychological trauma caused by fear.

The answer was, of course, no.

Just as he was thinking about how to wrap things up, a small stone suddenly flew from the side, hitting his solid chest without causing any harm.

"Hmm?"

Turning his head, he saw a little girl named Yukari holding a stone in her hand, throwing it toward him again, while shouting, "Run, Tsurumi!"

"Yuka! What are you doing?!"

"Run! What if you anger that monster?!"

"Waaah, we're all going to get eaten!"

Her three companions, terrified, tried to stop her, but Yukari still threw the stone at Hayashizaki.

Tsurumi Rumi suddenly snapped out of her daze, slipped under Hayashizaki's arm, and sprinted back the way they came.

The four little girls also hurriedly ran off, quickly disappearing from his sight.

Scratching his head, Hayashizaki's figure slowly shrank back to his usual self. The extra arms disappeared with a series of popping bone sounds.

"Ah, what an unexpected outcome."

A cold voice sounded as Yukinoshita Yukino stepped out from behind a tree, looking somewhat surprised at the direction the elementary schoolers ran.

"Indeed, I thought Tsurumi Rumi was completely stunned by me."

Hayashizaki was putting on his kimono again.

"But what surprised me even more was that Hayashizaki-kun has such a side to him."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Hayashizaki with a complicated expression, as this was the first time she had seen him in such a state.

To be honest, when she first saw it, she was startled as well.

"That's the battle mode, the boss's second phase. Ordinary people can't see it, so I guess you got lucky."

Hayashizaki chuckled jokingly.

However, this second phase, which was invisible to ordinary people, had been used to scare the children.

"Hayashizaki-kun, are you really human?"

The black-haired girl couldn't help but ask.

Hayashizaki shrugged and replied.

"I think I am."

...

...
