★♡Y/N's POV♡★

"Y-You're Hanako-san?" I heard Nene stutter out in disbelief.

Amane smiled at her before putting his hands up in a peace sign. "You got it!"

Nene wasn't buying it. She shook her head before yelling in disbelief, "You're lying! Where's your bob cut? And your red skirt?"

"That's stuff's out of fashion these days," Amane smirked. I let out a small sigh out as I observed the white-haired girl as she berated the mischievous ghost with questions. "You can call me Hanako-Kun," he insisted to us. Again, mainly to Nene.

With nothing else to do, I watched the two talk to each other before I felt this strange feeling in my dead heart. A feeling I haven't experienced years ago when I last saw Amane. 'I can't...I-I must be ill...though I don't how that works. I'm dead...' I shook my head to be rid of such thoughts before looking back over to Amane and Nene. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms. "Don't listen to him Nene-Chan, he's just some perverted ghost," I grumbled in annoyance.

This made Amane frown, floating away with his back to both me and Nene. "I'm done. Bye," the black-haired ghost mumbled sadly.

Nene yelped in surprise at the change in is demeanor."Wait!" She desperately called out, "She didn't mean it! Right Y/N-Chan??" She said turning towards me with a death glare, although it wasn't very threatening...

I rolled my eyes once more before nodding my head. "Yeah...you're so cool. Totally not a pervert..." I grumbled, 'trying' to sound enthusiatic.

After I said that, I heard Amane mumble something under his breath. As if flipping a switch, he happily floated back over to us with a completely different attitude. "All right! Tell me your name and your wish!" He said, pulling a note pad and a pen out of nowhere.

'He got over that quickly' I thought with a deadpanned look painted on my face. In my peripheral vision I watched as Nene raised her hand with a giddy smile before answering, "I'm Yashiro Nene, high school, first year, class A! I want the person I like to return my feelings right away!"

Amane looked down at his note pad before writing the new information that he had just learned down. "Yashiro, huh? And you want success in love..." I heard him mumble thoughtfully. He then looked up from his notes and asked, "Who with?"

Nene quickly pulled out her phone and pulled up a picture of her said crush. "Mimamoto-senpai in the second year!" Nene announced to Amane. "He's amazing! Cool, smart, and nice to everyone. One time I dropped my pencil case and he picked it up for me!" she said with a dreamy look in her eyes.

I looked over at the two and let out a loud sigh. I will never really understood why people fall in love... they're just going to get their hearts broken...And also...men...

"I see" Amane said as he studied the picture. "Got it. I'll grant you your wish," he told the white-haired girl.

This made Nene grin from ear to ear. "Yes!" She shouted with joy. "How do you grant wishes, Hanako-San? Do you use special items or something?" Nene asked the ghost in curiosity. I clamped a hand over my mouth to keep my laughter from escaping. He doesn't have anything like that. Sure, he can grant wishes, but he can't just snap his fingers and make the wish come true.

"Yup. I've got a great one right here" he promised the girl as he plunged his hand into the depths of his pocket in search of something.

Both Nene's and my own eyes widened as we stared at Amane in shock. "You do?!" We both questioned with surprise

Just then, Amane pulls out of his pocket, having successfully found a book titled "100 Methods Of Love." A small sweatdrop appear on my forehead. 'He can't be serious, right?'

"No" Nene deadpanned.

"Now, now" Amane started with a smirk on his face. "If you borrow my power, you need to pay a fitting price. If you want power beyond human comprehension, the price will be that much steeper." He explained to Nene. "So, this is safer."

The two of us frowned at this. Nene, because she wan't happy with a book (and slightly disappointed), and me because I knew he was lying and trying to get a reaction from the naïve girl. "But... what if I said I still wanted more?" Nene questioned with less excitement.

I whipped my head to Nene with widened E/C eyes. "Listen Nene-" before I could even finish, I was quickly cut off by the ghost that stood before us.

"That would be..." Amane started off with a blank expression, staring at us intensely, "...impossible, since I haven't got the tools for it." Amane said with another change in his mood.

"What?!" Nene exclaimed angrily but Amane just ignored her and opened the book and began reading it.

I looked over at my ex-best friend with a deadpanned expression. 'I'm not even surprised...' I was suddenly knocked out of my thoughts by Amane closing the book and turning to Nene. "Do you have any special skills, Yashiro?"
