Oh, yeah! Always listen to your mom, she knows best!
[ It's a chipper reminder, and one Haruaki truly believes. His own mom is always right, after all!
He shifts how he's holding Akechi in his arms, balancing against his hip so he can lift a hand and fix his mussed hair. Then Akechi gets a pap on the cheek too, and a reassuring smile. ]
The school I teach at is super haunted, that's all! If you were scared of spirits, I wouldn't want to take you there!
[ Ohhh... oh, he's making his point alright, and Haruaki's running out of excuses to not take him. The distance isn't even an issue, what with how easily he can travel from the island to the mainland and back. Whether by the mysterious transport rooms all across the country, or by ittan-momen taxi, he could have Akechi over at Hyakki Academy quicker than either of them would be ready for.
And those huge, serious, endearing eyes are laser focused on his. Haruaki gulps. ]
O-okay... um, well... ah...
[ Think. Think. ]
L-let's make a game out of it, Akechi-kun! If you get perfect grades in school for a month, I'll ask your mama if I can take you on a field trip! That'll be your prize!
He squirms to free himself of the prison he forced on everyone because he has to study. His mom has his homework!!! But he remembers some stuff he's gotta do!!! He needs paper stat!!!! ]
Okay! Okay! Let's - here, come help me. I need help with my book report.

[He's so strong. They can hold SO many guns. His mom said she might try to get him one!!! At the store!!! He's seen it!!!!]
And take me to high school.

[ Oh, he has GOT to get the topic off of guns.
So, without further ado: ]
W-well... let me ask you this, Akechi-kun! Do you believe in spirits?

He seems distressed. Akechi paps his cheek to comfort him and-]
I think I have to ask my mom. She'll tell me if I'm supposed to.

Akechi's brave with or without his mom's voice in his ear. For that, he doesn't need to ask.
But he still wants to talk to her. Still misses her. She's at work so he needs to wait for an emergency. This isn't one.
He makes firm, direct eye with Haruaki. Not blinking ONCE. Oh no, he's going to make a point now. ]
I won't be afraid. I'm the bravest kid in my class because I'm training to be a hero. It won't scare me, so you can take me.
