The Approaching Fear

The Approaching Fear is the fifty-sixth chapter of To LOVE-Ru.

Plot
Risa and Mio wonder what they should do because everyone else fell down when the floor collapsed. Yami would know if the voice of earlier is responsible. They then go down a flight of stairs to search for them.

Meanwhile, Rito, Lala, Haruna, and Yui are at the bottom, and they seem fine. Rito accidentally sees up Yui's skirt (her panties almost fall down), which leads her to punch him. Haruna notes that Yami, Risa, and Mio are able to escape the fall. Haruna wants to get out as soon as possible, thinking that there really is a phantom because of the voice from earlier. Yui, on the other hand, thinks it is just one of Lala's tricks. Yui explains that while she has come to accept that aliens (who have strange mechas) exist, she doesn't believe in unscientific things like ghosts.

Yui then tries to get them to leave, but falls down (showing her panties to Rito again). She accuses the boy of tripping her, but he isn't as they argue. Suddenly, Haruna screams and grabs onto Rito's arm (making him blush), because she hears a piano playing from the music room. Rito and Yui start debating over who should check for the phantom, but Lala does it without hesitation. Lala discovers that nobody is in the room. Rito is worried that there really is a ghost while Yui still can't admit a such thing.

Meanwhile, Risa, Mio, and Yami are still searching for the rest when Yami explains that she has a strange feeling. Suddenly, a bunch of books go flying towards them, but Yami uses her transformation powers and cuts all of the books in half. Yami then tells whoever is there to come out and show themselves, but the presence then suddenly disappears. Yami says she doesn't understand things like spirits, but the building needs to be checked. Risa and Mio, amazed by Yami's transformation abilities, start to grab and check her body, and Yami asks them to stop.

Over where the the rest of the group is, Yui tries to act calm saying the noise was just a product of their imaginations. Lala asks Yui if she is scared, but she denies it. Yui then sees what looks to be a ghost behind Lala. Yui thinks she is imagining, but suddenly, a skeleton and half-man/half-zombie start to walk toward them. Rito shouts that the ghost is there.
