Yuka: Mino-San, Tsurugi should be coming soon. Let’s dig here!

Page 14

Yuka”: Something’s coming out.

Tsurugi: Hah… it’s the mother’s corpse. I guess it had to be hidden in the house a child couldn’t carry it, after all.

Maru: Did you bury it yourself?

Masayoshi: Yeah

Page 15

Maru- So, it must’ve been tough for you. You did well.

But… where am I supposed to go back to?”

“No, no, that’s why… To the academy!!”

Masayoshi: My house? Can’t I come back here?” Am I… going to be arrested?”

Tsurugi: No, nothing like that! Listen, kid!! If you don’t have parents, the academy will take you in,
and you’ll be trained in how to handle curse energy

Maru: …Yeah, that’s right, It’s not that simple, is it?

The familiar scenery, the house full of memories

I’ve lost it all.

That void of lies will probably never be filled.

Maru: Until someday I become someone’s friend

Masayoshi: What’s friend?

Maru: They’re companions who understand why the things you cherish are important.

First, Masayoshi, be my friend!!

I’ll do my best so I can be your friend too!!!

Masayoshi: Ehh—? What should I do?

Maru: Are you hesitating!?

Yuka: Where the hell are you… Where the hell are you, Tsurugi!!!!

Tsurugi: Huh? I’m at Takeda Masaki’s house right now too!!!!

Yuka: Takeda is pitch black, completely black!!!
