Summary
Seiun Sky livens up the summer camp with ghost stories, to the dismay of Special Week and King Halo. The candles going out was definitely just a coincidence, though... Right?
Plot
Taking place during summer camp, sitting in a large room surrounded by lit candles, Seiun Sky finishes off a ghost story as both Special Week and King Halo squeal in terror. As Special Week worries about the possibility of the ghosts being real, Seiun Sky asks whether anyone else has any ghost stories, noting that it's someone else's turn. However, as neither know any ghost stories, Seiun Sky decides to go again.
As she begins to share another ghost story, the candles suddenly go out, Special Week and King Halo hugging each other in fear. Then, a variety of supernatural events begin to occur: - A spirit momentarily appears behind Special Week, laughing - Distorted faces appear on the foggy window, prompting Special Week to scream in fear - Handprints rapidly appear one after another on a clear window, prompting King Halo to scream in fear
As King Halo fervently prays and Special Week holds a protective talisman, Seiun Sky's eyes turn red as red-eyed, ghostly figures appear behind her. Suddenly, Matikanefukukitaru(?), surrounded by a holy aura appears, purifying the evil Seiun Sky before leaving. Both girls in shock. Seiun Sky enters the room holding bathroom supplies, before commenting that "You guys look like you saw a ghost..."

Trivia
- Matikanefukukitaru's sudden appearance, paired with move of the open palm and the shout of "HAA!" likely points to being a reference to Mr. T, who was born in a temple - A popular "ghost story originating on 2chan in the early 2000s
- Despite being a ghost story, it's more like a joke story, as the general structure of a Mr. T story is a typical horror story that is suddenly and instantaneously solved by the appearance of a man named Mr. T destroying it with a an open palm and the sound "T!" or "HAA!" leading to the narrator to think "Wow, those born in temples are amazing!"
