Summary
Kusuo watches a group of girls gushing over their crush and said that romance was something that was not at all appealing to him. He was then about to leave when he realized that the girls were gushing over Reita, which shocked him. Reita later reveals that with the help of John Komatsu's ghost, he had managd to capture the hearts of the girls. He also tells Kusuo that he has mastered possession, which allowed other souls to take over his body, allowing him temporarily gain their abilities. He later uses Blue Scorpion Jr.'s soul to fight a bully off, impressing the girls even more. Kusuo leaves, but comes back later as Kuriko so that he could watch Reita and ensure nothing was wrong. He watched for awhile and saw nothing odd happen, and was again about to leave when he suddenly heard Reita's frantic thoughts as the latter realized that he was no longer able to control his body. The ghosts started to randomly possess Reita's body for their own pleasure, scaring the girls. Reita desperately begs for Kuriko to save him. Kuriko initially refused, but decided that the situation was going out of hand. He kicks the possessed Reita extremely hard in the stomach, causing the ghosts to escape as they felt pain and realized the downside of being human. Reita thanks Kuriko for his help before asking the girls out again, but the girls had all lost interest in him due to his sudden actions. Reita, disappointed, asks Kuriko if his "boobs" were real, and begs Kuriko to let him grope them, angering the latter.
