Chapter 6
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKiK4QQrO6
Takahiro just noticed the people... Kanzaki takes the flashlight out of his backpack.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX34qErB8W
"Takahiro... Have you noticed it about Aoi...?" he asked. Takahiro looks at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKFdCP8JU3
"What do you mean?" Takahiro asks, narrowing his eyes. Kanzaki sighs and puts the flashlight on.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8iNGSxBoa
"She's watching us," Kanzaki answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQvNUP9tP
Takahiro looks up, just to see the dead bodies hanging there.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXkjamTMpw
"I feel like going back..." Takahiro says, trembling. Suddenly, ghosts appear around the trees... They looked exactly like her. The Yurei.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKfWMKq1c7
"Hashiru... Takahiro..." Kanzaki says, unable to move his feet. Takahiro looks at him, fear in his eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4miqjQAvb
The whispers began softly, like a lullaby. "Fooooood... fooood... fooood..." The chilling voices overlapped. Each word carried a deep, inhuman resonance that seemed to pierce Kanzaki's soul.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMLitt1E6I
"Astaroth-sama will be pleased..." one voice hissed, cold.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJD2fwARaU
"No one... NO ONE can trespass..." another growled, its tone dripping with venom.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pFfwIxj2f
"This is our territory... Ours to guard... ours to protect..." A deep voice said, which sounded even worse than the ones before.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqSWlEgyyP
"And ours to destroy!" the final voice yelled, filled with an unholy glee. The air grew heavier, suffocating Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh1BBBzOgy
"Kawasaki... shall FALL..." the voice dripping with venom said again.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYQ781ZzfX
"You will DIE..." The words echoed around him, as if the forest itself had come alive, each tree and shadow against him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbViKwbMxXC
The whispers tugged at his mind, their promise turning into an eerie silence... Kanzaki manages to move his feet and grab Takahiro's arm, not letting him go. He runs, avoiding the ghosts. "Damn it," Kanzaki grunts.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDMUM6AViY
Takahiro was scared, his body almost gave in but... Something about Kanzaki made him want to keep going.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSyOWsXE7L
The way he avoided the ghost, while protecting Takahiro... He didn't leave him alone, just like Yami did...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGDLSaxjU0
Takahiro back then... It all happened on a rainy day. Even though everyone went to school in Shibuya. Takahiro used to walk with Yami, his bestfriend.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tqtcI8XML
(Yami, a 14-year-old boy, born in Shibuya on the 5th of January. He has black hair that can go over his shoulders if combed, its usually in a bun, he has orange eyes. He likes doing sports and is a fan of action.)327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN06JjhQaF
Yami had stopped playing with Takahiro after an argument caused by Yami's girlfriend. She accused Takahiro of throwing Yami's grandpa's ashes, and Yami, siding with her, left Takahiro.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7IY3UC0xm
Days later, shocking news spread... Yami had been killed. There were only three people in the house at the time; his mother, father, and girlfriend. Suspicion quickly fell on his father, as a bloodstained katana was found among the weapons in his room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByVliiSQd6
Despite this, his mother claimed she had been asleep, and his girlfriend, Aoi, denied it, saying she wasn't in his room back then. Yet, the town blamed the father, who was executed for the crime.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy2NjhCcfk
Takahiro didn't expect Yami to die. At the funeral, only two people attended; Takahiro and Aoi.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OdwkBTwOa
As they prayed in silence, Aoi suddenly started laughing, her voice unfamiliar. It wasn't the Aoi Takahiro knew... It was someone, or something else. She turned to him, smirking. She confessed her feelings, saying she had liked Takahiro, not Yami.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC6WTN8cDr
Rage boiled inside Takahiro. Unable to stop himself, he slapped her hard across the face, leaving her in tears. But her crying did nothing to calm him down.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDHmYlmrYN
The grief and betrayal consumed him, and for a moment, he came dangerously close to taking her life.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXNGbnzczl
"Why did you pull me if you could just run away alone...?" Takahiro asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpaTc0ZeM2
Kanzaki looks at him, frowning. "Ha! As if you can actually move when you're scared," he says, rolling his eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe5gPgRebl
Takahiro bit his bottom lip, ashamed. Kanzaki didn't let go of Takahiro, even though he was staying still.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipEFROPHRh
He pulls out his phone, taking a quick picture of the bodies hanging in the air. He sends it to Akira and puts his phone back in his pocket.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyct5EuAlQo
If Akira was here... The words were just on his mind all the time. They were friends since grade three...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAtiqaIkZL
Akira usually hung out with boys, since she didn't like doing girly things. She was disliked by girls, so she didn't care at all.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fz2HzQMMd
He looks at Takahiro... "Are you not feeling well?" he asks as he sees him shivering. Takahiro points at a tree...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIZuIyo3Ur
Remi was there, her lifeless body hung on a branch. Takahiro falls on his knees, his hands in front of his face. "R-Remi..." he stutters. Kanzaki grits his teeth...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAafW8L5BRL
He puts his hand on Takahiro's shoulder, trying to comfort him... But he can't. He doesn't know what to say.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ9mF7qeZo
He's never really been one to comfort someone, especially a person he just met. He lost his sister... How much does that hurt... Because of The Yurei... Everything falls apart. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGjVydww0B
"I'm going back... I can't anymore," Takahiro mutters, his voice cracking as he wipes away the tears that were about to spill.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx9EtDlf1F
He stands, his expression a mix of exhaustion and regret. "Good luck, Kanzaki," he adds, pulling Kanzaki into a tight hug before stepping back.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwP8me0kb3
"You got this!" Takahiro shouts as he walks away. The entrance of the forest wasn't so far away.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90iSztexJl
"Bye..." Kanzaki whispers, his voice barely audible as he watches Takahiro disappear into the shadows. He looks up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZQH9e6ama
Remi. She hung lifelessly from a branch, a rope cutting into her neck. Kanzaki clenches his fists, ignoring the burning pain in his hands.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIl6O3Gk70
I can climb up and get her... maybe she's still alive, he thinks, determination flickering in his eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVcqhPoxht
He places his foot on the side of the tree, gripping its rough bark as he begins climbing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvPqgdPs65
I've done this before... with Akira. I can do it again, he mutters, climbing higher and higher despite his trembling limbs and raw hands.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIhEzBGdS4
When he finally reaches the branch, he pants. With one hand gripping the branch tightly, he uses his other hand to cut the rope with the knife that was in his pocket. The rope snaps, and Remi's body slowly lunges toward the ground.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9VtQESgOE
"No!" Kanzaki gasps, lunging to grab her sleeve. His fingers catch the fabric, but her weight drags him down.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0klQh5av
His grip on the branch slips, the bark scraping against his hand, leaving fresh cuts. "This is... so damn high!" he groans.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgHABrWKSq
His body was screaming in protest. His strength finally gives out. They both fall. Kanzaki twists mid-air, clutching Remi tightly to protect her as they crash to the ground.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzoHm7EAkU
The impact sends pain through his back. He screams, as he almost got knocked out of breath.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZV8M0guiD
Nearby, his phone lies broken on the grass, its screen reflecting the red glow of the moon above.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIva8BZN4T

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQRXPYXK2C
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3MwPHyWOD
Kanzaki falls asleep. A wolf approaches him. The beast tilts its head, looking at him with its deep blue eyes. It comes closer and looks at his back.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXY9SR2ofy
The wolf turns him around and slowly puts his feet on Kanzaki's back. The wolf leans in with his face and closes its eyes. Blue aura surrounds the wolf's feet.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBsAthzPen
Slowly, Kanzaki's bones reconnect, his back didn't hurt anymore. The wolf gets off Kanzaki and looks at him again. "Good luck..." the beast says. The wolf studies Remi and then nods.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oDsJ4TxkQ
He lays Kanzaki down and runs away, leaving Kanzaki and Remi there... My head... It really hurts... I have to wake up and escape now... But I'm so tired... Kanzaki opens his eyes... To his surprise, Remi wasn't hurt.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpIvs9TzDb
Kanzaki groans, forcing his battered body to move. His trembling hands push Remi off him as gently as he can, wincing at every move. Her face is pale, her body unnaturally motionless. He looks at his hands and freezes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4T5RRDgY2
The skin is gone. Torn. Blood oozed from the raw, exposed flesh, pooling around him in dark, sickening patches.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXijTtspdE
He hisses in pain, as he moves his hands behind his back. If they touch the ground, it will cause more pain. But his mind isn't on himself. "Remi..." he whispers. His throat tightens.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVtguXp69R
Hesitation clings to him like a vice, but Kanzaki forces himself to reach for his phone. His fingers fumble at the cracked screen, managing to dial Akira's number.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMUh9c1t3T
Suddenly, he feels it. A touch. His blood turns to ice as something cold wraps around his leg. His eyes widen as he sees her. There she is. The Yurei.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpJOhYtVWl
Her pale, skeletal hand grips his ankle. Her long nails were digging into his skin. Her red eyes glow under the curtain of black strands. They were burning with malice.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJoGM6r4ZP
"Stop..." Kanzaki mutters, trying to pull back. But his legs won't move. They feel heavy under her icy grip.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkL5sjpGpO
The call connects. "Kanzaki!" Akira's angry voice rings out.. "Why did you do all of this without telling me?! Where are you?" she asks, angry and concerned. His lips tremble as he tries to answer.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZJQgCYrsl
"The... forest... Aki-" Before he can finish, the Yurei moves.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgRHbLwN9H
Her skeletal fingers snatch the phone from his hands. Kanzaki watches in helplessly as she lifts it to her lips.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEW4Ao7dzg
"Goodbye," she whispers into the receiver. The line goes dead.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7K0A2uO3dV
Kanzaki's breath hitches as the Yurei drops the phone. Her hand tightens on his leg, the pressure rising.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7qwXs7XqY
"Don't you dare get near her," he growls, his voice shaking as he glares at the Yurei.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yVWgF8yMD
Her head tilts to the side as her neck cracked. Her lips twist into a smile, revealing jagged teeth. "Fumiko... Gin is waiting," he says, trying to distract her.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Iv0PWkpV9
The smile fades. "Three..." the Yurei whispered. Kanzaki's breath catches.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDbhgZ3xVk
Seizing the moment, he shoves her off with all his strength. Her grip loosens just enough for him to break free.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiXlznOI6W
Without looking back, he stands up and runs away. Deeper into the forest... The trees blur past him. "Remi..." he mumbles through ragged breaths. "I'll come back for you."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XKJw0INvO
Behind him, the Yurei stands still, her smile returning. She tilts her head towards the broken phone at her feet.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJjXOZDDsm
As the crimson glow of the red moon shines on her face, she lets out a low chuckle. "Run, little Kanzaki," she murmurs, her voice dripping with venom. "This is far from over."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6EgWD7RSW
Her laughter echoes through the forest as she turns, fading into the shadows, her bloodlust palpable beneath the red moon's glow.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp41u2yLhk
Kanzaki falls to the ground as his legs give out. He pants, squinting his eyes. He hears people laughing... the sound came from every direction.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUkJkgsxcs
What is this feeling of unease? Why is my heart beating so fast...? Am I scared? Why did I go into the forest in the first place? Do I really think I can stop this all by myself? I can't go on anymore, but... I can't give up either. I have to do it. I have to do something.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0WIN9udqF
He walks back to where Remi was and reaches out to grab his phone... eight missed calls from Akira and a message. He reads it out loud: "Kanzaki, what kind of dummy goes into the forest...? I'm coming, wait for me."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqen5OfIGX
He feels scared and relieved at the same time. He sits there, unmoving...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL6iaZ9F4I
Kanzaki looks at the moon... "The red moon marks her killing..." Who is the victim today? Mio...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU76RW15ArT
Kanzaki wakes up and looks at Remi. "Life wasn't worth much, huh...?" he asks. Remi is just lying there, her face pale, and there are marks on her neck from the tie.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8n4tMaqBR
She doesn't deserve this... the Yurei just wants Kawasaki for Astaroth. It has been a while. He stands up and takes off his jacket as he realized how hot it was. Their weak spot is their face... Or light?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0tT3iMPLI
He runs away, his footsteps echoing through the forest. He looks at all the villagers who were hung. He stops running when he hears someone step on a branch.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAqxDBEKpu
Kanzaki freezes in place, his breath catching in his throat as a low, menacing growl rumbles behind him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcgmSF6TAk
Slowly, he turns his head to find a white wolf just a few feet away. The wolf's blue eyes lock onto his.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8U5s55GcF
For a moment, he feels like prey. The wolf's growl abruptly stops. It sits down, its eyes still fixed on Kanzaki, not blinking. Kanzaki feels uneasy. "What... do you want?" he asks, more to himself than the wolf.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2XSt7Qd2d
The wolf tilts its head, as if it understands him. The wolf stares at Kanzaki's hand. Kanzaki hesitates but reaches out his hand.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgi4PVfamM
The wolf sniffs his fingers before locking eyes with him again. Its gaze is intelligent, almost human. Kanzaki forces himself to pat its head, his heart pounding.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAag3CoHIhG
When he steps back, the wolf stands and begins to follow him. "I don't have time for this," Kanzaki mutters, looking over his shoulder. But the wolf doesn't stop. "You're just an animal. You can't understand me," yet deep down, something about it felt wrong.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhikvhSDem
After several moments, Kanzaki stops, turning around to confront the creature. "What do you want?" The wolf growls low again and sits, staring at something past Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVObxZyBM5j
He follows its gaze to a tree. It doesn't belong there. The bark seems too smooth, too... different. "What the hell...?" Kanzaki whispers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqomn6KibE
The wolf growls louder now, snapping him out of his thoughts. Kanzaki clenches his fist and, unsure why, slams it against the strange bark. The impact sends a shock through his arm as the tree's color shifts: red, like blood oozing from a wound.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRKyWUQNdu
Suddenly, the wolf is gone. Kanzaki spins around, his breath quickening. The woods feel darker, heavier...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSssc1DXTA9

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0blRMTf2rb
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ6uM3a3yw
A cold, clammy hand settles on his shoulder. Kanzaki turns around, his stomach dropping. It's Remi. Or... something that looks like her.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaFKcNr2Ao
Her blonde hair hangs around her face, stained with a bit of blood. Her skin is pale as snow and her once-bright blue eyes are now deep, endless pools of red.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwx44QOlIw
"R-Remi?" Kanzaki stammers, stumbling back. Her lips curl into a slow, eerie smile, revealing unnaturally sharp teeth.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJJodN0dYH
"I... told you to leave me alone," she whispers, her voice layered with something inhuman, distorted and echoing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCW8NWAEnD
"No... What happened to you?" Kanzaki asks, his voice shaking.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO4s9Ujpwo
She takes a step closer, her movements weird, as if she is a puppet on strings. "I'm not Remi anymore," she says, her voice trembling with despair, anger, and something else...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg66rt5YLvs
"I'm... a monster." Her eyes glow brighter as she steps forward, trying to grab him. Kanzaki barely manages to leap out of her grasp, his breath coming in short, panicked gasps.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohzG3cUYN5
"Stay back!" he shouts, but his voice cracks. Remi stands there, quiet.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQvr2fEEkc
Her head tilts at an impossible angle, her glowing eyes fixed on him. "You shouldn't have come here," she whispers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2ZrGplVOH
The red moon's light seems to pulse in time with her words, and shadows stretch unnaturally across the ground toward Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsfuZU0gWh
He runs, his feet pounding against the ground, but her voice follows him, low and haunting. "You can't escape, Kanzaki..."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3ptvqXMBY
Kanzaki freezes in place. He couldn't move... His legs feel rooted to the ground. When he glances down, his eyes widen in horror.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDgpeEabOQ
The grass beneath his feet grows long, snaking around his ankles like living vines. The green blades tighten, pulling him deeper into the earth with every passing second.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAOaCrhUCD
From the corner of his eye, he sees Remi. Her pale, lifeless form moves toward him, her blonde hair swaying with each step as if the air itself carries her forward.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sgxMAVw3k
Her blood-red eyes lock onto his, it was unhuman. "Go... away!" Kanzaki yells, his voice trembling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03YWhyQLYB
Remi pauses mid-step, tilting her head to one side . She smiles. "Astaroth-sama wants you dead..." she says, her voice hollow and distant, as if spoken from the void. Kanzaki grits his teeth, his mind racing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7e5kWhy4b
Akira was still out there, still in danger. Kanzaki has a smug grin on his face, even though he knew he should be scared. "Well," he says, "tell him I wish we had the same fate."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt93E8wM6u
Remi's lifeless smile deepens into something more sinister. "You wouldn't be saying that," she whispers, her voice dripping with venom. "You're going to die soon."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiH5vDukOt
The vines around his legs tighten, and the ground beneath him seems to shift, as if it is alive.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZUWSWjq9X
Kanzaki feels like his strength is faltering, but his resolve isn't as Remi draws closer, her step making the vines grow even more...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyGWZWSyuQ
A loud scream catches Remi's attention. It sounds like the Yurei... Remi glares at Kanzaki, but then vanishes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZiZ9ityt2
The vines let go of him and shrink. He leans against a tree, trying to catch his breath. It's quiet; the only sound that's heard is an owl's hoot. Kanzaki clutches his arm. "It hurts..." he groans. Kanzaki just sits there, the wind cold against his skin.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluc2ogTrDv
I feel myself getting weaker... I can't even stand up straight... Is this the end of me and Kawasaki? The thing is, I don't know. It all just hurts so much... but what about Akira? I still have to keep my promise, but what if I break it? That would be the same as leaving her, right...? I'm scared of losing her... And my life. I can't give up. I can't stop her, either. Sorry, Akira.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWAW6gaPdO
Kanzaki closes his eyes and falls asleep. The red full moon rises even higher...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHui5uKr3Q3
Akira knocks on the front door of Kanzaki's house while looking for something in her bag.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oj4hKFqn6
"What happened to that dumb..." Before she could finish, the door opened.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz3lw6URwN
The Yurei stood there, looking down at her. "Ah... you came back... how adorable," the Yurei says. She leans closer to Akira.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SubbQNlj0
"Too bad... your friend isn't here. He's dead. It's your turn, isn't it, Akira-chan?" she asks, grinning. Akira tries to push her away, but the Yurei doesn't budge. Akira quickly runs into the house and goes upstairs to Kanzaki's room. She checks his drawers and finally finds it: the picture!327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS1bK6vz2E
The Yurei slowly enters Kanzaki's room, but Akira has already escaped. The window is open. "Two kids are that hard to handle, huh...? Everyone, wait for orders... They will die soon," the Yurei says, annoyed.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkVXHtg2Xz
She heads back downstairs and enters Mio's room. Mio is tied to a chair, unable to move. A ghost behind her covers her mouth so she can't scream.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ81SCML0s
The ghost behind her chuckles. ''I want to kill her already...'' it says. The Yurei shakes her head.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXMUrN7EHZ
''Astaroth wants her,'' she says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHWp7ZBaoK
''For what?'' the ghost asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlswizNDblO
''Answers,'' the Yurei replies. ''I'll get that girl...'' she says, leaving the ghost there.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibkmcIJk5t
Akira runs to the entrance of the forest. That dumbass! How reckless is he?! Doing something like this without telling me... Akira clenches her fist.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7PWkos6VC
She enters the forest and quickly notices. "Scary. Disgusting. What else do I have to say," she mumbles.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6L4S7VSG8
She stops running and pants. "How long have I been searching already?!" she thinks, squinting her eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpcaJnTDFn
It's so dark... She unlocks her phone and puts the brightness on max so she can see in the dark. "Where is that idiot...!" she mumbles, frustrated.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvgfuLSw21
She notices a tie on the ground, a bit covered in blood. She goes left and sees someone in the distance. The person was asleep, it's face covered in blood. There was also a broken phone next to the person... It was Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleztkGGpjZ
Akira approaches him... "Kanzaki! Can you hear me?!" she yells, her voice echoing. She inspects him, noticing the blood on his feet and his injured arm.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdlQRXnnnk
He opens his eyes, half-asleep but closes it again. "You idiot!" she yells, nearly punching him out of anger. Kanzaki's heart was still beating, Akira heard it. She looks at his hand and her eyes widen.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRT9BiSrxA
She looks around, making sure no one is watching. She takes off her shirt and gently wraps it around his arm and hand. She opens her bag and pulls her jacket out, putting it on and zipping it up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSgzorKx3d
She puts his broken phone in her bag and stands up. She lifts him up. "You fatass!" she mumbles, veins popping out of her neck as she tries to keep him in her arms.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd8kogQzGe
She hears someone's footsteps. Not so far, but not near either.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeneVCN1K2c
Kanzaki mumbles... "Gomen..." he said, his voice barely above a whisper. Akira's face softens.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAha5MrE7aQ
"It's alright. I'll take care of it, rest," she says, forcing herself to walk further. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4iIcmFQiH

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yGfzU5Utz
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstBVYy7SDE
Akira takes a break after nearly thirty minutes of walking while Kanzaki rested in her arms. She puts him down in front of a tree.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6to49m2jkh
The footsteps were still heard, but Akira didn't care, as long as Kanzaki was alright. She lets herself plop onto the ground.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMv9anfK7F
Kanzaki's wounds stopped bleeding. A girl suddenly appears and looks at Akira.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRvtwSpKTp
"Um... Who are you?" the girl asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZaPN6QhZz
Akira stands up. "I could ask the same to you. Why are you here?" Akira asks, suspicious. The girl looks at Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb7juHo0oS
"I'm Aoi... Kanzaki's neighbour... I was looking for him... What happened?" Aoi asks, sitting down.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQdWf9fuu
"Go away. Don't come back. Don't tell anyone," Akira says, not even trying to respect Aoi's reason. It felt weird.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WhtNUWlig
Akira was staring at Aoi, waiting for her to leave. "N-no..." Aoi says while stuttering, her face flushed.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VgUVYV2yo
"What's wrong with you? Weirdo," Akira reacts, a disgusted expression on her face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eICFFbMMj
"I... I'm his girlfriend," Aoi explains, looking down.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMsBsbLxll
Akira grits her teeth. "Oh, shut up. I rather die than believe that," Akira says grabbing Aoi's collar. "You monster. I don't fall for lousy traps like yours..." Akira says, the color in her eyes disappearing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnyUAIbkEs
"You're not his girlfriend or whatever. You're a ghost," Akira continues, putting more pressure on Aoi's neck. "Have you realized now? The kind of people you mess with? Were they really weaker than you? I don't think so. They still want to kill you. Look at the ground," Akira orders.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhtH773oje
Aoi looks down and sees it... All the villagers' hands, pulling her to the ground. "N-no! I'm sorry!" she yells, crying. She... disappeared.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1u3KAas7n
Aoi is gone. Akira's eyes slowly get their color back. She looks at Kanzaki. "Sorry, I should've came earlier," she says, blaming herself.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0XiwvTFXf
Kanzaki was still asleep. Akira looks at him, a frown on his face. What possessed you to explore the forest...? You knew it was dangerous... But why...? Akira buries her face in her knees.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBBTTvx0V3
The red full moon was still there... Kanzaki opens his left eye, his hair covering his right one.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCv8pGCADU
He couldn't talk well, considering his injuries. He looks at Akira. "W... Wha..." he pauses mid-sentence, coughing up blood. Akira flinches by the sound and stiffens.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEnig7O3F0
Her eyes widen as soon as she sees Kanzaki coughing up blood. "Are you okay?" she asks, trying to not rush things. Akira has a worried look on her face, but she forces herself to stay calm.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqt7Uk66jY
Kanzaki covers his mouth with his hand. Akira hands him a bottle of water, but then... A cold hand touches Akira's shoulder, making her shiver.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevOHcOvE6v
She looks behind her, just to find a ghost there. It's red eyes were glowing through the black hair.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ006FvCo4dr
Kanzaki's eye narrows, pushing Akira away. It was Remi."Leave her alone..." Kanzaki says, sad but angry at the same time. Akira looks at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ElIEUB6Qj
"You're inju-" before she could finish her sentence, Kanzaki speaks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KLwqSPY9F
"A man is supposed to protect a woman, just run," he says, looking at Akira.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OwBpZiPkg
Akira turns around, running away. "Stay safe, please..." she wishes, squinting her eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s7caa52OT
Akira looks at her phone... It was 02:14 a.m. How is it so early? It should be over 4 am... Don't tell me...!327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRInOVLGMR
Akira opens her bag, getting out a book called 'Japan's history' and opens it. The book was old, most of the text weren't there.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenAFRrexcy
Akira reads: "A lot of devils existed back then... One of them named 'Astaroth' can stop time... He is the owner of ghosts, known as... Yurei's... He had promised Chuuya to destroy the world for her... No one knows when exactly... At the time it happens... Time freezes..." Akira's eyes fly over the words, reading it all without even trying to understand.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDwqyf5gxN
"The only solution to stop the curse is... Return the risen to their grave." Akira frowns. "Return the risen... To their grave?" she says, confused.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVt7Mp7DWE
She tries to look for a explanation, but can't find one. Before she closes it, she looks in her bag.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3DFOZ0EMe
After a bit she finds a pen and marks the page. She hears footsteps from the distance.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX7YPHPivV
Kanzaki arrives, a cut on his cheek. He was panting, trying to catch his breath. He leans on a tree, gesturing her to stay quiet and hide.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFED2cFpyCm
Akira nods and gathers her book and puts it in her bag. She goes and hides behind a few bushes... 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKl3lcw4uC
The ghosts walk around the forest, their footsteps loud. Akira holds in her breath, looking at Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB2JBYjsLT
Before one of the ghosts arrived, he ran to Akira, grabbed her hand and ran away. Akira's eyes widen as he pulled her. Akira's wrist started hurting because of his grip. Akira looks at him. She hears footsteps behind her, she looks behind...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeeXcKWlPd
The ghost grabbed her face, making Kanzaki unable to move. Akira gasps as Kanzaki lets go of her wrist. "Sorry. I'll be back," he whispers, disappearing into the darkness.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcfIILV0E6
The ghost looks at Akira and smirks. The other ghosts surround her... "Fooooood... Destroy... Hang... Devour...!" they all yell, their deep voices echoing through the forest.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunNvqQYR1W
"Leave me alone...!" Akira yells, trying to free herself from the ghost's grip. Akira tries kicking the ghost's stomach, but the ghost won't budge.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kw3rmRofQ
Slowly... It feels like her head gets ripped off. She screams, the pain too much to bear. Akira closes her eyes, blood coloring the ghost's dress. The ghosts laugh, mocking Akira... 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbVgYMNLZZ
Kanzaki looks behind him as he hears a loud scream. Akira... I hope you're still okay. He stops running and looks at the tree... How am I at the same place... I swear it was the opposite direction...!327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYpX9d1NsO
Then he sees it. Akira's bag. He opens it and pulls out the book. Akira had put a mark on the page where the solution was written. He finds it and reads...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl3Po68GsK
"Who's the 'risen'?" he thinks. "An evil person thats alive? A ghost? Uh..." he says out loud. He looks at the blood that was on the ground and realizes what happened...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOmWYYs7VU
Sorry... I couldn't protect you... I'm such an failure... Please forgive me, Akira. Tears started streaming down his cheeks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS9ZDRL6cy
Suddenly, when his tear falls on the page, it starts giving off a glow... Blue light comes out of it, gathering in front of Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGrxcWMBa1
After a while, the book closes... Kanzaki backs off, not wanting to get hurt.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckpedxUCyf
The sparks of light forms something... A shape, or rather a human... Maybe a monster.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNpzYoAl7D
The light vanishes, leaving a little girl there. It felt weird. She wasn't human... Or atleast, she didn't look human.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYoogaDYTB
She had purple skin tone, a blindfold in front of her eyes, white straight hair that hung over her shoulders, a horn on the right and left side of her head... She also has wings.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LPFCqQLWe
But what matters right now is... The fact this girl might be dangerous for Kanzaki, or even worse... For Japan. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbheufl0kds

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgFpcl2QwG
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCCBVP08qv
Kanzaki studies the creature. She walks closer to him, her wings widespread. Every step felt heavy but somehow... Kanzaki felt at ease.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8MVNmRsPB
The creature holds her finger up, making Kanzaki unable to move. As if time stopped, just because the creature held a finger up... She kept getting closer, until she was right infront of him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKA6TnoQOB
"What... Are you... Doing... Here?" The creature asks, her voice was deep, even though a hint of happiness blended in. Kanzaki gulps, sweat forming on his face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135kloMVi3
The creature leans even closer, trying to know why Kanzaki isn't answering.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3srvl7knn
"I... The curse..." he says, unable to stop trembling now that she's close. The creature walks away a bit. "What... Curse?" she asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AaCYLvqF6
Kanzaki takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. "The Yurei... Astaroth..." Kanzaki says, all the memories replaying in his mind.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ir3g8KKu2
The creature smiles, her sharp teeth on full display. The creature: "Akuma... King of chimera's... Destroyer of... Hell and Heaven... Who are... You?"327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9RS3Sv4W4
Kanzaki feels a chill running down his spine... Her voice... I can't trust anyone. Especially her... Run, Kanzaki. He turns around and was about to run but... Akuma's hand was on his shoulder, not letting him go.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLnuRbmrG
She looks at him with a disappointed expression. "Why... Are you... Trying to run...?" Akuma asks, the blindfold giving off a purple glow over their surroundings.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUTmLNWCUQ
Kanzaki feels like he's getting pressed on the ground... Even though it was just her hand.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCp5ZwOH9a
Kanzaki froze. "Am I... scary...?" Akuma asks. Kanzaki looks at her, his eyes were wide open.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruWZ7TkWkH
"Go... Away...!" Kanzaki says, shivering.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVr9sjaLXJ
Akuma backs off, letting him move again. Akuma tilts her head to the side. "In that case... I'll go," she says, disappearing behind the black fog...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jyu73ordS
Kanzaki clutches his chest. Am I imagining things? Are my eyes deceiving me... Or rather... Can things like this really exist? This can't be real... I'm sure I'm dreaming. All those monsters... That girl... Fumiko... Astaroth... Was it really true? Do monsters really exist? Who's the risen one? What do I even do... All by myself?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQSXoA6IZk
Kanzaki looks around... The purple glow was gone. She left, leaving him hanging. He takes a deep breath and looks at the blood on the ground. His shoulder started hurting...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmoxbFoWqm
He looks behind him, noticing the red tree again. As he puts his hands on it... His hand just went through it...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEBBAMLW0n
His eyes widen as he feels something in the tree... He pulls it out, just to find a recorder.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleeHR5S1Ev
He puts it on... "Whoever is hearing... rustle.... this message... crack... Kill the fake person... Among you all... To stop the curse... rustle... Or it will... Have... Beep..." it stops.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b9vPRl43M
The connection broke... Kanzaki sighs in annoyance. He tries to turn it on again but he can't... 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu7KGYJo3H
Kanzaki grunts, throwing the recorder far away. It hits the ground and breaks. Kanzaki decides to take a nap, but hears someone's breath on his neck. He looks around, noticing the fog...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmcncIUBSQ
It keeps getting thicker... It kinda makes him feel... Nauseous. "Akira..." he says as the word echoes in his mind.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jChkSx1YV
He leans on a tree, looking at the sky that was blurred because of the fog. The full red moon was still there, casting a glow over Kawasaki...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb3qMaPm7M
Kanzaki stands up straight and walks into the fog, trying to find a way out. "Go... Further... Deeper... Don't stop," he says as he runs.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vjbD6EY8F
Suddenly, he bumps onto something... No. Someone. Kanzaki looks up, just to see Remi there. She grabbed his face, nearly tearing it off but then...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZckNJ3Poe
The pressure was felt again. Akuma wasn't here though... Remi looks around. No one was here other than them... It was either lurking in the shadows... Or one of them. Another monster, maybe. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83y4UsJore
In the blink of an eye, a loud explosive sound was heard. As if people fell on the ground. Remi was looking at the direction where it came from...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkusDInBH4J
Kanzaki takes the opportunity to run away. Remi doesn't notice, still looking at the direction where the sounds came from. The fog started getting even thicker, making Kanzaki unable to see.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlADKnEDjn
After a while... He feels like he wasn't in the forest. Nevermind, there were still trees around him. He reaches his hand out in front of him and finds a doorknob. He turns it and the door creacks open with a loud screech.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDNKXxlOAL
Kanzaki enters, but everything suddenly lights up. He closes the door first and turns around...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsUVVg8iNr
Just to find Akira's dead body on the ground, above a devil symbol that was made and smelled like... Blood.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHDmBu7hH8
There were five candles, on each end of the star. Kanzaki's eyes widen. Three ghosts appear behind Akira's dead body.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEp0h4B7MT
The left and right one had short hair, allowing Kanzaki to see their mouth. The one in the middle had a blood-stained white burial kimono.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQVVBlRZ62
"You have arrived..." the one on the left said.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGu73vUAcE
"Yurei-sama has been waiting," the right one said, stepping back at the same time as the one on the left. Kanzaki tries to open the door, but it wont... It's... Locked?!327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNElP0cxwL
He looks back at the Yurei in the middle. "Lets start the ritual..." she says, smirking. Her red eyes were glowing under her black hair.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7rx077WSe
The Yurei started mumbling a few words, as the candles began to melt. Red aura came out of Akira's body... "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Kanzaki yells. The two ghosts appear behind him, holding him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tgjWkfy3l
"Watch..." the one on the left said.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxetfrfq53
"How Kawasaki will get destroyed..." the right one finished. The fire started spreading, burning Akira's body. The red aura slowly escaped from an open window.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQKgxvhG77
Then... It happened. "Astaroth-sama, bless us with your presence," The Yurei said. The fire stopped. The candles melted, and only steam was seen.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAJQcEVjkJ
When it gets clear, Kanzaki sees him. The devil, Astaroth. He looks at the Yurei and nods at her, acknowledging her presence. He then sits besides Akira's burnt body.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOhmHUWiOZ
Kanzaki held his mouth, knowing arguing to the devil would result in death... But then... Astaroth cut Akira's arm in a swift move and eats it up but quickly swallows it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpUY4uhv3C
"It's... Bitter," he says, his deep voice cutting through the silence. The Yurei has a concerned look on her face, but quickly hides it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3v7yAozFW
"Don't worry, Astaroth-sama. We have prepared another meal for you, My Lord," she says, pointing at Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlffcqoGiJw
Kanzaki gulps as Astaroth looks at him and nods. "Great to hear," he says, smirking.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI84HRn2kR6

Kanzaki trembles as Astaroth stands up, walking towards him. Astaroth leans closer to Kanzaki, his face inches away from Kanzaki's.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2wGvi2B1Z
"Stop... Moving too... Much..." a voice says as purple light appears in the dimly lit room. Astaroth freezes, not able to move in the presence of Akuma. She was there, sitting mid-air with her arms crossed.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiUUIy25qg
Kanzaki looks at her with a mix of relief and fear at the same time. "You... Idiotic child," Akuma says, a mix of disappointment and anger in her expression.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HxoyGu8p4
Astaroth looks up at her, the ability not affecting him now. "Who are you to interfere...?" he asks, letting out a low, menacing growl.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoLAOkqB8R
Kanzaki gets a flashback of all the Aikido training sessions he had with his mother... First... Twist the arm, turn around and... Pull them on your back?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLKjQ0peLE
He tries it but instead of lifting Sayaka, it was Remi... Akuma pulls up her blindfold, revealing glowing white eyes. She was blind...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWppzhaWOVY
Akuma points her index finger down as Remi gets pulled to her. Akuma's hand was on Remi's neck.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EAJ5qxjMW
As Akuma opens her mouth, a shockwave echoes through the room. The window's glass shatters in thousands of pieces. Remi vanishes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgdYUVDfqf
Akuma looks at him and smirks. "Run... Away," she says, lifting her finger up before everyone except for Kanzaki freezes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcZEJ85TKV
Kanzaki wants to thank her, since he appreciated her help. But he knew there wasn't much time, he had to go now. He pushes Nabika away from the doorway and opens it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBEdvXMXKK
This time it was unlocked, before he leaves, Akuma throws Kanzaki's flashlight to him. "Bring the risen back to it's grave, Kanzaki," she said, putting all her trust in him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwp2apGzTnP
Kanzaki left the place, flashing the light on it... It looked like an experiment laboratory.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnoQlGJCX4
The old walls seemed to crack under their own weight. Shattered windows, yet it felt like eyes were watching him from behind. Rusted chains dangled limply from the roof. There was a sign: ''Experiment Zone: No Entry.'' The air grew colder around him. There was also written ''New lab, 8 km to the north'' next to the laboratory.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUprjKyWcFW
Kanzaki looks at the direction where the new laboratory was... Gotta get it to find answers...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkMsMQcSio
His heart was beating really fast. He looks behind him one more time..."Goodbye, Akuma," he says, before turning around and running to the "new lab".327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfY87nEDeVI
While Kanzaki was running... He sees them. The villagers, they were all over the ground. That explains why there was a loud sound back then.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfKionrvMK
Kanzaki feels like someone is watching him. It's always... Lurking in the shadows somehow. Kanzaki could feel its presence. He didn't stop running and kept going north...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡey3XFa8nZV
Someone grabbed his feet. To his surprise, it was one of the villagers. Before the villager could do anything, his hand gets cut off.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMvBciViF
Kanzaki looks to his right, spotting a woman with red hair and red eyes catching an axe that flew to her direction.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV6leZUFc7
She puts the axe back on its place and stares at him. "What are you doing here out of all places, kid?" the girl asked, looking away.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlZLTDcZCU
Kanzaki narrows his eyes. "Looking for a laboratory," he answers. She sighs and gestures him to follow her.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9A8lm8yFu
A silence fell as they walked. "What's your name?" she asked. Kanzaki tilts his head to the side.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW4WUYson3
"It's Kanzaki..." he answers, studying her axe.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRNoAJzC7W
"That isn't a normal weapon, is it?" he asks, looking at her.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9MAZ4WF1W
"Well, I'm Reina. And yes, it's not an normal axe. I made it by the red shards I found in the forest," she explains.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncHvBZv27H
Kanzaki pauses as he sees the tall building...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74O3j6Ardg
It stood there as if it was made yesterday. The glass windows reflected no light, only darkness, and the edges of the building were unnervingly sharp, almost too perfect. Something about its untouched state felt wrong, as though it didn't belong there... Or was hiding something.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAQ4yfw0lO
"Are you going or what?" Reina says, waiting for him to enter. Kanzaki takes a deep breath and opens the door...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8h3aHOvmt
It smelled like poison was used here... He puts on his flashlight, but then...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlRx0c0PHM
He sees stairs, shattered glass, the tables and chairs upside-down and papers were everywhere. "Who even works here?" Kanzaki asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkmvG7WTOg
Reina looks at him and smirks. Then she leaves the laboratory, locking the door. Kanzaki's eyes widen when she locked the door, leaving him alone there.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7zEYJfpQ0
Damnit... Kanzaki decides to just do it alone and inspects everything he sees. He tries to open a door, but there was a keyhole and he didn't have any keys.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwTTY5XqeX
He hears a low growl coming from inside... He facepalms, annoyed.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rTnhblOSh
He heads upstairs, finding three doors. Kanzaki decides to go check the one where "Sora's Room" was scribbled with old Japanese handwriting.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll3OOmX9xG
When he gets in, it was a rather neat room. The desk and chair were both made of wood, the room also had a cloning tank, where a plant was in it with some green chemicals.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8deXuz9tdR

There were posters of biology information hung everywhere. The bed was old, even though there was a diary on it with a pen next to it. Kanzaki reads what was written out loud...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOqgapO0ZP
"It's been a while since they've done this... Mother and father are cloning devils and ghosts, I don't know why. They've been acting weird lately, always checking my room and bringing random guests. One of the guests was my friend, Yumin. Mother and father wanted to talk to her, but after that, she never came back. They told me she was gonna move out of Kawasaki, but I don't think so. Yumin said she would stay in Kawasaki forever... She stopped visiting, mother brought even more guests every passing day but... I never saw them leave. I don't know where they are. My mother keeps coming into my room at midnight, I'm scared. Her name is Erina, my father's name is Satoshi. They haven't been eating lately and talk to each other about fusing a devil and ghost... I don't know what's going on, my mother keeps telling me that they're making a sort of beast that can save Kawasaki. It all happened... The guests kept coming, but never left. And mom forbids me to go outside. She says it's too dangerous, but why? It just feels weird, I can't find the right words to explain it. I have been trying to clone a plant, the Tiger Lily because my father asked me to do that. I haven't finished yet, I don't know when I will be. I keep hearing sounds, I'm not writing about sounds a human makes. This one was deep. It came from my father's room. It wasn't human at all, it sounds like a monster. I really don't know what kind of 'beast' my parents are making, but I think its dangerous. It's life-threathening, since that's a better word for it. My parents told me to continue cloning the plant... But why? They've been doing this ever since Kawasaki started blooming. I feel like mother and father changed, they don't act like humans. Their eye color changed into a pitch black one. They still talk to me but... How did they forget my name? Father just slapped me because I corrected mother. I feel like they ruined theirselves, they aren't human beings anymore. They're monsters, creating another monster worse and scarier than them. It isn't to save Kawasaki at all, it's to destroy it. I don't know if I will survive. The guest came back, but... All of them looked alike. Long black hair, white dresses and... They were all women, but one of them greeted me... Just one of them, a person I had trusted became a monster. No, she was forced to become one. It was Yumin... She recognized me... Why are mother and father doing this. I'm really scared. Mother and father were smiling. It doesn't feel right. Everything's wrong... I want the normal Erina and Satoshi back but... How? Father has been in his room more than usual... Mother has been going in the forest countless times. I really have no idea what they're doing. Or even better... Why they're doing it. I feel like I don't belong here anymore. I'm not a monster. They are, I'm afraid they're gonna make me one. I wanna stay human... Just what in the world is going on with everyone? I saw 2 people too. They were the only different ones. One of them was a devil, the other one looked weird... Maybe the ghost and devil fusion? There was also a wolf next to the devil-ghost person. I'm Sora Shun and I always will be. If anyone reads it, please help me... I'm gonna get locked up by mother and father. I'll turn into a monster soon... So please, I beg you... Anyone, even if its a monster who's reading this... Help me... Please! - Sora Shun"327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHMRcENhXR
Kanzaki bites his bottom lip, concern written all over his face. He looks at the Stinking Lily Corpse. He looks at all the machines around it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCCjPYQAlC
Kanzaki pulls the charger of the machine out of the wall socket. Volts of electricity start coming out of the socket. He quickly backs off, right on time.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaZ6IOP568
Kanzaki grabs the diary and leaves the room. He slammed the door shut and went to a room where was written "Erina" on it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMFNggp5m
The room was full of papers and had three cloning tanks. Kanzaki opens a closet, there were posters hung in it and papers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2jLM9mvEg
When Kanzaki reads the papers, he realizes that creating ghosts and devils would be traded for a lot of money...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI7v0fsZjL
Kawasaki's forest would be a activity for people who want to experience real horror... Kanzaki looks through all the papers. Those were all offers for the ghosts and the forest... Just who are they?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEROfsYlPa
Kanzaki searches everywhere in the room but can't find anything. He kicks the cloning tank in frustration, but the green chemicals started streaming out of it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MQUU5fPtv
Kanzaki quickly leaves Erina's room and closes the door. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ5vgeFPrK
Inside Satoshi's room, there were two machines... They were kinda connected to each other.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6QYpFGhZb
Kanzaki looks at the girl that was in one of the machines. She had black long hair, her eyes were closed and she looked like the ghosts.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDal7MzjXvE
Kanzaki touches the glass of the tank... The girl was asleep. Then... Kanzaki feels someone grabbing his arm from behind... He looks around, just to find Akuma behind him. He freezes. Akuma quickly moves out of the way.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1XoeSYo1l
"Break it..." she says, reffering to the machine. Kanzaki stares at her with a look that said ''How?''327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AoEX39jYQ
Akuma chuckles. "Your fists... Use... Them to... Break the... Machine..." she whispers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFf0LBdlVf
Kanzaki sighs but punches the glass. The glass didn't break at all... There was a hole, but it went back to it after Kanzaki took his fist off the glass. It... Regenerated.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIH10svQt
"It's... Made of... Dead... People..." Akuma says, her hand tracing the glass. Kanzaki takes a deep breath.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9NdirR2N0
"Who cares?! I'm getting her out of that place," he says, determination building up... Akuma stares at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFW6WpoYxF
"Kamii-sama, you have chosen the right person..." she thinks, right before Kanzaki punches the machine, it broke on its own... 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA06W7lEnvg
Akuma had catched the girl before she hit the ground. She looks at the girl and leaves the room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZDEHZdiFL
Kanzaki searches the drawers, but can't find a key. He leaves the room, looking for Akuma. Kanzaki finds Akuma on the stairs... Another one led upstairs? Just how many floors does this laboratory have?!327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamT1lysFdj
Kanzaki looks at Akuma as she gestures him to follow her. She was carrying the girl in her arms. Kanzaki looks at Akuma.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zjzp9QzXY
"How much do you know about this place...?" Kanzaki asks, looking at Akuma's blindfold.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4xURBzAzt
Akuma pauses and turns to him, the blindfold glowing. "I was... Made... Here as a... Monster..." she answers, smiling at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiLxBgUYvc
Kanzaki heads upstairs... This time there were four doors, one of them were locked.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNiKsizu5N
Kanzaki opens the first door, seeing a room with a desk, a laptop and a chair. Nothing special. Akuma heads into the room and looks at the papers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAevAjBzAaU
There wasn't anything useful written on them. Akuma opens the laptop, the screen lighting up most of the room. It asked for a password...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FS4S40nod
"You can't possibly know that," Kanzaki says, rolling his eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UnYF2PN9v
To his surprise, Akuma got it and logged in. The screen showed multiple documents. Akuma scrolls through them until... She finds it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74nJaaQPqI
"How to stop them?" was the title. She reads it for Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYSMtnydfS
"I have created ghosts and devils but... If it goes overboard, we will need a solution! I found it out. Bring the risen one back to it's grave. It's as simple as that. A dead person in Kawasaki still lives... The person got killed, or went missing but... No one knew about it. If so, they're given a chance to come back to life as the risen one. Years ago, it was a man named Banji... He died before in a car accident, but you still saw him. A boy named Gin ended up killing him with his friend, Fumiko. Great memories... Those kids were really smart... I got one of them, so it doesn't matter anymore... My plans won't fail... I see you..."327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KnbDQa8mA
The screen freezes after Akuma stopped reading. "They are... Watching... Us right now..." she says, turning to Kanzaki. "Let's... Get out... Of... Here..." Akuma mumbles.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBxtfaw1cE
Kanzaki clenches his fist. "No... I'm not going yet," he says glaring daggers at Akuma.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoDO15JkUc
She tilts her head to the side... But then... She felt a pressure as Kanzaki was staring at her...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYXgvNNET4
The dark aura surrounded him, asking to be left alone... Akuma nods and leaves the laboratory.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJuPxOzk1Z

Kanzaki sits down and buries his face in his hands. What's wrong with me... He stands up and brushes the dirt off his shoes. Kanzaki leaves the room and then... A figure that was lurking in the shadows quietly closes the door.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIIz33TXOh
"Project Goodnight Japan starts now... Targets have arrived... All forms of ghost completed. Tell me when to send them across the country... The ritual to Kagume's awakening will succeed," the figure says, holding a phone close to it's ear. The other person on the line mumbles something and hangs up...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkzfLFGjef
"We'll meet again, Kanzakiii~..." the figure says, chuckling. The door creaks open, Kanzaki quickly turns around. He switches the flashlight on... He looks inside the room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVczQAoubV6
There was no one there... It's probably the wind. Kanzaki closes the door... It opens fully. Kanzaki's narrows his eyes. "This whole laboratory is cursed...!" he says, looking around. Kanzaki decides to just roll with it and goes to the other room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyGIQraxjD
This one... There wasn't anything in it... Kanzaki leaves and heads to the third one... It had nothing too.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzmwg80q63
He steps in the room, a shiver running down his spine the moment his feet touches the ground. The door closed behind him... He got pushed, falling on the ground.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y1ascWqNR
Kanzaki stands up and looks around again... No one was here at all. My eyes are deceiving me... Kanzaki switched his flashlight back on... He sees two of them... Sayaka and Nabika were standing there.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0WxeqS39O
"You won't escape..." Sayaka says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz9SCQAbIf
"Without our permission..." Nabika finishes. Kanzaki steps back, scared. Sayaka steps closer after Nabika does.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBnWCAyrKe
"Why..." Sayaka asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiyOdfxgt9
"Are you not a ghost yet?" Nabika interferes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4dMMqVJuT
Kanzaki looks at her, his hands trembling for some reason. Nabika smirks and turns to Sayaka327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYU9siSfrd
"Let's do this..." Nabika says, cracking her fingers. "Astaroth-sama wants to turn you into a ghost..." she mumbles.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cscsKD0tO
"Black Magic..." Sayaka says, grinning.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p0SgoCgth
"Technique two... Black Fog..." Nabika finishes, fog appearing everywhere in the room. It was getting thicker...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrpOSrYDU1
Kanzaki tries to find the door, but bumps into Nabika. He hears someone chuckling. Sayaka lifts him up and smirks. "Die..." Sayaka says, her red eyes glowing under her hair.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgA6lpMZBtV
"Onegaishimasu..." Nabika finishes. Nabika pauses before she was gonna slap Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9NqSs61sg
"Why... Why do you ruin humanity...? You already live in the forest... So why...? You never had to ruin it... You just follow orders without thinking about others... You two were humans too before... So why do you hurt someone like you...?" Kanzaki says, clenching his fists.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56xB07rsaf
Nabika and Sayaka's eyes widen. "Because... Humans made us suffer..." Sayaka answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhx6cx2NQ0
Sayaka and Nabika before... They were sisters who loved cooking and usually helped anyone in need. On their birthday everything went wrong... Her father and mother divorced, leaving them alone. They had to live somewhere else... But where? It's not like anyone would just take them in. Their bodies started changing, no one recognizing them. The people started throwing rocks at them while they were on their lowest. After days of bleeding and getting injured Sayaka was on the verge of death. Nabika couldn't do anything, since she was in a bad state as well. Everyone started hating them more, even trying to kill them. That was so until a woman took them in. Erina Shun, a name Sayaka and Nabika would never forget. Erina healed their wounds and fed them both. Erina told them about a potion she invented. It lets you live for centuries, your looks won't change either. But if you refused to do what Erina orders, you will die. Sayaka and Nabika took it, because Erina told them to. Satoshi talked with the girls, asking Sayaka to go in one of the tanks... Nabika didn't want to leave Sayaka, so she went in too. The pain after they got in was unbearable, changing them into monsters... Sayaka and Nabika obeyed Erina and Satoshi, scared that they would ever have to experience it again...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQkqM7VLxN
Kanzaki hesitates but then... "Why don't you give us another chance? I'll make it up to you, I promise," he says, taking a step closer.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAGdz2qkkz
Sayaka looks at Nabika. "Will you hurt us?" Sayaka asks, trembling. Kanzaki shakes his head. "I'm not cruel," he answers. Nabika reaches her hand out to him. "I'm Nabika. This is my little sister Sayaka," she says, pointing at Sayaka.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5j0dax6bS
Kanzaki shakes her hand firmly. "Kanzaki," he says. The fog disappeared. "We will help you, as long as you don't hurt us," Sayaka says, opening the door.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkd533KxIo
Kanzaki nods and leaves the room. He looks at the room that was locked. "Can you open it?" he asks, looking at Sayaka. She shrugs but then points at Nabika. "She can," Sayaka answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sn5qIwxpI
Nabika takes a look at the door. She takes a step to the right. "Black magic... Technique 1... Explosive Void," Nabika says as void appears, even though it was tiny.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnc5nny1Y4
Nabika points at the wall with her index finger. The void slowly heads there, exploding once it came in contact with the wall. There was a hole in the wall...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr9EpgZ7VS
Kanzaki grins. "You're telling me to not hurt you while you can kill me with that?" he asks. Sayaka and Nabika stare at each other but then they start laughing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAjjEDmG5Y
"I'll go," Nabika says before she enters the room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlxaGLwmTo
She unlocks the door and opens it. Sayaka and Nabika freeze as a beeping sound was heard. "Sorry..." Sayaka says. "We're... Dying... Please save... Kawasaki," Nabika says before they slowly vanish into thin air... They're gone.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs14UDej2dK

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluwzC7yE9L
Kanzaki stares at the place where Nabika was standing... What happened... Why did they... Who killed them...? They just... No way... They're controlled? How can I thank them now...? Kanzaki's mind races327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS3NzJqoAJ
He enters the room... Papers were everywhere on the ground and in closets. He leaves the room, too lazy to look through every paper.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqOjki7sDm
He heads back to the first floor. Kanzaki looks around, trying to find anything to open the door with. He finds a key in a drawer. He opens the door...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3VX0Hd7Yd
A boy was hung, his hair covering his face. There was a cloning tank behind the boy, the room had two closets next to the tank.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xxqBcqdqG
It's him... Sora Shun. Kanzaki studies the boy and then comes closer. He looks at the tie as he struggles to free Sora. Kanzaki hears footsteps... He quickly opens the closet and hides in it. Someone enters the room... No, there were multiple people.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E5rvoyjKw
"Then... Let's start... Oh yeah... The plant is still upstairs. I'll get it later..." a feminine voice said. "Ah... I think we have a special guest..." a masculine voice answered. Kanzaki's breath hitches when footsteps come closer...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3L3v3cvj6
Footsteps weren't heard now... The door creaks open... A man with brown hair and black eyes smiles at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUBcY8BL2O
The man opens his mouth, just to reveal his jagged teeth. "It's great to see you but... Farewell," he says, getting closer to Kanzaki...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79d0oUe6Fw
Right on time, Kanzaki moves to the side. The man looks at him. "Erina... You should keep an eye on him while I make the Yurei King..." A woman with white hair and black eyes studies him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hMg8K7INV
She takes her glasses off, cleaning them. She studies Kanzaki for a moment and then nods in acknowledgement. Erina gestures Kanzaki to get out of the closet.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pZ51NGBt8
He gulps... What kind of situation did I get in... He looks at Sora. Still gotta save him yet... No one can help, Akuma was outside so that means... She saw the parents?!327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUQqkcb3Kq
Kanzaki slowly crawls out of the closet and stands up. He looks right into Erina's black eyes. Black ties come out of her hands and they surround Kanzaki's wrists.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekoMubwuXB
"Leave Sora alone," he says, having a determined look in his eyes. Erina chuckles and then her eyes started shrinking, until two glowing yellow eyes appeared instead of the black ones...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXWipWtGNn
"Do you not know what kind of situation it is... A single step might be... The end of you... It was all part of my plan... This whole time... I'll destroy the country after I'm done with you..." she says, her voice echoing through Kanzaki's mind.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjsGNBHunm
"I'm not gonna let you destroy it..." Kanzaki says, glaring at her. "Oh, please... Just die..." Erina says, rolling her eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq8pXCUFto
The man scowls at Kanzaki. "Stop wasting our time..." he says, growling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ccLchErDV
Kanzaki looks at Sora and thinks for a moment. He hesitates but then... He headbutts Erina to the man's direction, causing them to fall. He tries to cut the tie using a shard of glass...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX9ujzldCZ
Erina stands up. Sora falls on the ground, Kanzaki grabs Sora's hand. He lets Sora lean against a wall and turns back to Erina and the man.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeP1PcrBte
"Satoshi... He's a genius, isn't he... Just like Gin... I didn't think Banji would die like that... Well, this year is a new one... A new risen one... And... A new chance for victory..." Erina says, grinning. Satoshi stands in front of the door.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMvPzmIGJl
Kanzaki clenches his fist. "It's your son... You failure..." he mumbles, his face darkening. "How dare you... Make your own son... A pawn to destroy... The country you lived in!!!" he yells, his voice filled with a hint of anger and sadness.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAJwoVg5rQ
Satoshi and Erina look at each other, confusion in their eyes. "He isn't our son, he's a tool," Satoshi answers, shrugging.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpPL4amoRe
Sora stirrs for a second. Kanzaki grabs his arm and drags him towards the door. He furiously kicks Satoshi and opens the door, wanting to leave the laboratory...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOosj9QjVt0
Kanzaki and Sora exit the laboratory, even though Erina's footsteps were heard behind them. Sora blinks multiple times. He looks at Kanzaki and tilts his head.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnq4HEAux9
"Who... Are you?" Sora asks, his voice hoarse. Kanzaki's eyes light up and he smiles. "You're still alive!" Kanzaki says, pulling him into an unexpected hug. Sora gasps, but then realizes. "You saved me... Didn't you...?" he asks, nearly tearing up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyBGwxpJ5F
Kanzaki nods, pulling away from the hug. Sora: "In exchange... I want to do something for you... Anything!" Kanzaki thinks for a bit... "Help me bring the risen one back to it's grave..." he says, before looking at the trees.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJWGTBn1YG
Sora freezes. "That's your goal?" he asks. Kanzaki: "Yeah, I want to stop the curse." Sora hesitates. "It's dangerous... But... I trust you!" he says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYkB0ffu95
Erina's footsteps were coming closer. Kanzaki: "Run!" Sora doesn't look behind him and runs away.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOfsLrMVKd
After a while, he sees Kanzaki walking to him. Sora frowns. "Are you okay?" he asks, leaning closer. Kanzaki takes a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm alright," he answers before they follow the path. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kd6EyyfdA
"Where are we going?" Sora asks as he notices how cramped the forest is now. "Just looking for anything..." Kanzaki answers, but then he stops... His legs won't move, as if something grabbed it...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEiTsyXyyl
He looks down, but gets pulled in a hole. Sora looks in shock. "KANZAKI!!!!" he yells, trying to grab him but he already went in. Sora decides to also get in...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w0d0CITGk
He finds himself in a rather... strange place. Everything here was dark... The torches placed next to walls lit the room a bit, Sora looks around.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG7shdmX0U
The ground felt weird... This was water... "Kanzaki! Are you here?" he asks, his voice echoing through the room. He takes one of the torches and realized.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uAjpuOiuw
"This place is... The Yurei's ho-..." before he can finish his sentence, a cold hand tapped on his shoulder. When Sora finally can see the person, he clenches his fists.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBaSyv6CDm
The Yurei stood there, her face revealed. She was mad, her hair was swaying every once and then. She smirks, her red eyes glowing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrIWw98bku
"I found you... Let me kill you, please... I'll get rid of you... Just like how I'll get rid of Japan..." she says, laughing. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmCcbU1Fvd

Kanzaki falls on the ground. He mumbles something as he tries to stand up. "You really thought..." a deep voice said. Four glowing yellow eyes stared at him from the distance...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwyY1pKjF4
"Oh... That's... Cool," Kanzaki mumbles. A person started laughing, it's voice loud. It was a woman... To be clear, another one of those monsters.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzwplH3fZA
I have no other choice... I don't know if there is a way to escape. Right now, my biggest concern is my life. It's either they will kill me, or I find out a way to escape this weird place.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonxaOpi48u
The lights go on. Kanzaki sees them again... Erina and Satoshi. Satoshi's smirk widens as he sees Kanzaki. "You're never leaving this place since it's where your life ends..." he says, his hair growing every passing second.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1H4EcGElHu
"You shouldn't have interferred... We would've spared you if you didn't..." Erina says as she walks to Kanzaki. "Black magic... Technique 3... Reality Void..." she says as a dark hole appears, slowly taking Kanzaki in.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPjoDQPQ9u
"Problem solved... Let's get the tool now," Erina says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs5bol2qlb
Kanzaki finds himself in Kawasaki... Everything looked peaceful, not like the current one...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xoGt4Sfxm
It feels... Strange, as if it was his imagination. The sky had a soft blue color and the buildings were all made recently... Kanzaki then started seeing people. They were all smiling. Akira stood next to him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKfQkLwhGi
"It's so peaceful, don't you think so?" she says, smiling widely. People passed by and greeted each other.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqNUClqIVU
Why did it not feel safe? What was wrong here? Akira... Peaceful Kawasaki... Active... What's wrong with it? Why does this feel like I'm getting deceived?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXRewtypTS
Kanzaki smiles back at Akira, a bit uneasy. "Yep. Definitely is," he answers. Akira looks at Kanzaki's bracelet. "You'll wear that thing forever?" she asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKewJ3Uyeg
"Of course. You gave me it, I'll protect it with my heart," Kanzaki answers, rolling his eyes. Akira blushes. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A2Pct9AMI
Out of nowhere, Kanzaki feels a presence. Behind him. It was dangerously close. When Kanzaki turns around, he sees Akira... But she was different.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpx0IUy9SR
Her hair was tangled and short. Her mouth was open and revealed jagged death. "I hate you, Kanzaki. I dislike people like you... Please die. Don't come back..." she whispered.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd73F8dLmZ4
Akira bit off Kanzaki's head. The world spun around. What was happening? Why did Akira just... Kill him?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5naa4AUn9
Kanzaki's body felt weak and limp. He looks up, seeing cherry blossom trees. The scent was nice... He slowly went through the soft pink leaves. Refreshing. As if he had entered a new world...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiJIYNiecC
Suddenly, people look at him with empathy in their eyes, some of them with disgust in their expression. "I feel bad... He was left out... By everyone...," a few whispered. "He's cursed... Don't get near him," others said, scared. Kanzaki teleports into a dark room. There was nowhere to go...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTvyrXHgyV
Where am I? How did I get here? Why am I here? How do I get out of here? Is this the endless loop of hell? Why is unfortune always coming to me..? Why do I have to suffer? Why is it just me?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheN4PhMR0p
A girl with long white hair, bow ties and red eyes approaches him. "Okiro... Wake up..." she mumbled, half-asleep. Kanzaki stirrs as she taps on his shoulder.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUA7I2UUx0
"Who are you...?" he asks, his voice hoarse. Her expression was... Emotionless. Close to unhuman.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7488N6Nsi
"Kagume. That's my name. I... Will rule this world. Not just me. You will help me," she explains, smiling for a split second.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ylXMGK6Mm
Kanzaki sighs. "I don't know you, neither do I have an idea of what you are talking about. Please return me to the world. I have unfinished business," he says, not agreeing with her.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqs3d5FZrZo
She smirks. "You don't have a choice... After all of this end... My successors that should have destroyed Japan have failed... You're the next successor. You will destroy Japan with me," she says, an earth globe in her hands. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnC0NxLEARh
A dark figure appears behind her. It had a huge mouth, drooling with blood. Slowly, it entered Kanzaki's chest. "Soon, your life will change. You will change. You're gonna be a monster, just like me. All we do is destroy the world... Work with me, Kanzaki," she informs, reaching her hand out. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFiZrLSSIJ
Kanzaki felt rage boiling inside of his heart. "I'm never gonna work for you. NEVER!" he yells, slapping her. Kagume touches her chapped lips. She smiles as blood trickles down like a tear.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmA1Ugea7W
"I really like you. Someday, you'll be mine. Everyone has forgotten me... I was left to rot. But now... I know what there's left to do. I have more than enough blood on my hands to fill seven seas. All that's missing is... seven continents," she whispers before disappearing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjALdoKLkJw
Kanzaki wakes up, his breath ragged.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq9FBPwahs
Sora trembles as the Yurei walks to him. "Go away!" he yells. She stops and tilts her head. "Humans like you... Afraid? You have no meaning in life anyways," she says, grinning. "I promised... To help him... So what are you... Talking about, you monster?!" he yells, giving her a death stare.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECFwMDp945
The Yurei smiles before Erina and Satoshi appeared. "Finally, I got rid of that nuisance," Erina says, rolling her eyes. Satoshi smirks as he sees Sora. "Now come... Or I'll make you..." he mumbles.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8gIM7A1qH
"You even dared to go with that boy... Too bad... He's dead after all," she says, a sadistic smile on her face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3RTsTdga1
Sora gulps as Satoshi stands in front of him. "Just come along... It wont hurt much, Sora..." he informs, smiling at him. Sora shakes his head. "I'm not going! I'm staying here until Kanzaki comes!" he yells, arguing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7UWlaksxG
Satoshi frowns. "You've changed... Not even listening to me..." he says, veins popping out of his neck.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH3WoekOdl
Sora takes a deep breath. "I'll show you what you did to me..." Sora says before he turns into a devil... He looked exactly like Astaroth.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEU8fVFExt
"Do you see it now, father? This is what I am now, something I never wanted to be. I'm human, what do you not understand?" he asks, his voice deep and cold.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggKtfxeoCX
Kanzaki wakes up... This was the same place where he fell into. He looks around after he stood up. He looks at his hand, which was filled with something slimy... It was dark, but then... An eye appeared out of it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJt0waMrSh
Kanzaki stares in confusion and then looks at it. The eye had an crimson red color. It looked like Reina's eye... "Can you hear me?" a voice asks. It came from the eye. "Yeah, I do," Kanzaki answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgwwVFGWsJ
"Very well then, walk to the left and open the door. You will find yourself in a mansion. If you head to room 4 you will find the people there. Come back to the entrance of Kawasaki after you killed them," it says before vanishing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIcvK7znwO
He walks to the left and suddenly bumps into something... It was the door. He opens it and finds himself in a mansion, just like Reina had told him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLSf6h0MVA
He searches for room four... It wasn't here at all... He looks again and notices that room four was on the other side, next to room seventeen. He opens it, just to find Satoshi, Erina, A Yurei and... A devil.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW66FLb8SQH

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yYLG1EdYt
Kanzaki studies the devil for a bit... "Sora... Is that you...?" he asks, not believing it. "It's me... I'm a monster now, Kanzaki..." Sora says, tears sliding down his cheeks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRbpA16ZqL
"Sora..." Kanzaki says, the words stuck in his throat. "No... You're human, Sora. Just like me," Kanzaki says, sighing after. "Really... Don't you see me now? Do I look like a human being?" Sora asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgHBwDyZrJ
"Sora... It's not about your appearance! You have a heart of gold, a heart a good human being has, Sora! Even if you look like a monster, you're still human after all! You're my friend... I will be your shield and spear anytime, even if you're a monster!" Kanzaki yells, his voice loud and clear.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOE3FvO4pl
Satoshi clenches his fist. "Thank you... For accepting me..." Sora says before bowing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD596WzaQTg
Sora turns to Erina. "Black magic... Technique 1... Maximum power... Vortex of Predition...!!!" he yells as a vortex appears behind Erina...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xJ9aUFtWn
The water got pulled into it... Purple shadows came out of the vortex, grabbing Erina and Satoshi. They went in it... The vortex shrinked and disappeared.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ2zSr28f8
The Yurei was in shock. "It's time for the final act..." she said, her face fully red. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SVSVk80EQ
The Yurei screams, calling all the ghosts. They gathered... "Make sure the risen one survives!" The Yurei yells before the ghosts leave the room. Sora laughs...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDEyGokSpl
"So the risen one is somewhere in the forest, huh?" he asks. The Yurei gasps... "The risen is somewhere else... Hidden... You wont find it anyways," she says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFiexFtuId
Kanzaki: "What's your real name?" The Yurei looks at him. "Yumin Naomi," she answers. Sora's eyes widen. "You're Yumin...?" he asks, confused.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIW1dYn6Vvy
The Yurei laughs. "Too bad... I'm a monster... So I'll have to kill you...!" she says after she teleported behind Sora.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Phol2MN1s
''Kanzaki! You go and find it!'' Sora yells. Kanzaki leaves the room. After a few seconds, the Yurei starts growling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX2xjsqtp1
Sora looks at her. "I have no choice either..." he says as he punched her... His fist went through her body.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lQMB2lthn
"I'll do it the hard way then..." Sora mumbles, backing off. "Try me..." she answers, daring him to go all out.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnARZEVZi3
Kanzaki has entered countless rooms, but didn't find anything yet. He goes upstairs... It led him to a ladder. He climbs it and finds himself in the forest again.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ3ETEx0eW
He sees arrows... They weren't here back then... Did he have to go east just like the arrows pointed at or was it a trap...?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF7tQG8As3
Kanzaki decides to head east. He stops after he hears voices. "You have to stay there, so go back... NOW!!!" a deep voice said. "But... Yumin...!" a feminine voice argued.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIUdUoEAXw
"Stop talking back and let's go home," a masculine voice replied, annoyed. "That's right Momo, we should head back for our own safety. Yumin will be alright," another feminine voice reassured, even though she sounded scared of someone or something.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktCF2srUgZ
"You both listen well... I'm grateful you're not like her..." the deep voice said, a hint of anger in his voice. "I'm sorry..." the feminine voice said before they stopped talking. Footsteps faded in the distance, leaving Kanzaki there.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWBDnIlFGs
Sora stares at the Yurei. "What do you want to destroy this village for...?" he asks as he sits down. The Yurei chuckles.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWDdpBwLKQ
"Orders are things I have to do, so I'll destroy," she answers, looking down on him. Sora closes his eyes. The Yurei takes the chance and tries to pull his head off... It didn't budge at all...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskfb3GRALZ
"What are you doing...?" Sora asks, opening his eyes. The Yurei's breath hitches as she notices.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuyXDX9NeZ
"I can pull your heart out y'know... No wonder you're defying me, a monster stronger than your owner..." he says, the room getting filled with fog. The Yurei manages to see through the fog.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JVAvnqbNS
"Black magic won't affect me. I've mastered all the 6 techniques already. I'm immune to it," she says, smirking.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfCppuDmKF
"I'm not using black magic," Sora answers. The Yurei frowns.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGJgoxvxQG
"Well, I don't care, you wont beat me anyw-..." before she can finish her sentence, Sora pulls her head off.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsq7OSHegb
"Is this the way you kill humans? It looks like an awesome decoration for the forest..." he says, smiling as his yellow eyes start glowing in the dark. Now Kanzaki can finish it... I'll head to Reina.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuRe7iHyY4
Kanzaki carefully follows the path that the people took. Villagers weren't on the ground anymore, as if they vanished.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeduoLmE2m
It hasn't been long either... The full red moon still hung there. Kanzaki hears rustling coming from the bushes. He quickly turns around.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEWHYiC2R2
"Who's there...?" he asks, his voice lower than a whisper. No one came out... It felt strange. Someone or something was definitely there, waiting for him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxnsN4cZPj
Kanzaki backs off but bumps into someone... When he looks behind him, it was Akuma.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAVPGgSN1d
He freezes. "Where are you going?" she asks, leaning closer to him. "There... Were... Uh... Some people went that way... I'm following them," he says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLMcvmERmc
Kanzaki just noticed that the girl they found in the laboratory was on Akuma's back. Akuma's eyes glow and she nods. "Lead the way. However, I can't help you with solving the curse," she informs.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWoagNC3r2
Kanzaki continues walking east. He looks at Akuma. "You said you were the destroyer of Hell and Heaven... What did you mean by that?" Kanzaki asks. Akuma sighs.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLFmrxLdCz
"I have experienced and survived Hell. I have destroyed Heaven, that's why I exist in the first place. It's the wrong choice though... So I didn't do it," she explains. Kanzaki feels uneasy.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO67ydfwEnO
"No wonder... You look like you just came from the galaxy," he jokes, pointing at her looks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhluY5ZjhrU
"Might be true. I have no idea," she answers, shrugging. They continue walking in silence.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBMVHQw0CU
Sora looks at Reina as she appears. "You came faster than I expected," Sora says, smiling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF94MgkvqfS
"I was done killing anyways," she answers as she wipes blood off her axe. "Do you really trust him? He's just a child after all," she says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGY0aiRusr
"He was the person the book told us about. He's the one. He will do it, I have full trust in him," he says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDErpUtN4nY
Reina rolls her eyes. "Are you sure it's him?" she asks. Sora nods. He shows her a paper. There stood 'Accepted Yurei ritual by Gin Hoshiro' on it with a fancy handwriting.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8IMOU5mR1
Reina's eyes dart over the paper. "His grandfather accepted it?! That means he's the one who let this whole Yurei curse exist in the first place! Shouldn't we get rid of h-..." she stops as Sora shakes his head.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYozQ6410ZF
"He's the one who wrote it... The Yurei made a deal with him, or else he had to give his grandson... He chose for danger, not for betrayal... A wise man, you could say," Sora explains. "Now I understand..." Reina says as she puts her axe back in place.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVlOdY0i2x
"Tell Haruki to come so I can hand him this for Kanzaki," Sora says, pointing at a camera next to him. Reina nods and sprints away.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamkLDZphHG

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXebnaZhXw8
327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Llk1l6fkY
Kanzaki and Akuma stop in front of a house. It looked old, the roof had holes in it. "I'll wait for you," Akuma said, waving.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZkw4poHXr
Before Kanzaki went in, Akuma smiled at him. "Sayonara..." Akuma says, her voice sounded like Akira's. Kanzaki waves as a goodbye and enters the house, the door closes on it's own.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXUqwMybRf
The place was dark, Kanzaki couldn't see anything. He touches the wall, just to find a light switch. He switches it on and the room lights up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pwubyy5IN
There was a chainsaw on the ground, right next to the door. Lucky, I didn't touch it. Kanzaki sits down... His legs hurted from all that walking.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMUEfwM6Hq
Suddenly, the window breaks. Kanzaki looks at it... There was no one at all... Ugh, this whole forest is cursed...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGNG5h6DjE
A wolf jumps on his lap. It was the same wolf that appeared from the bushes. "Who are you?" Kanzaki asks. "Haruki..." the wolf answered. Kanzaki freezes... Did it speak...?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZD6TaVSxo
He looks at the wolf. "What are you doing here?" he asks. "I am the one who gives hints when you're lost," the wolf answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR77uJDvpmS
Kanzaki yawns and looks back at the wolf. "You can sleep, I'll wake you up soon," the wolf says as he notices that Kanzaki is tired.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrdmNC93FY
After exactly twenty minutes, the wolf taps on Kanzaki's shoulder. Kanzaki stirrs a bit and then wakes up. "It's time to continue, or else you'll be late," the wolf says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAKtv5D8gV
Kanzaki rubs his eyes and then stands up. "Search for anything useful first... Then I'll come to you," Haruki orders before he becomes invisible.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX0hYjzOET
Kanzaki stretches his arms and looks for tools he can use. He finds papers about devils but puts them back in place.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre7LQi6suc
He finds a knife... Can I even use it the right way? Kanzaki decides to take it. He throws it in the air. It didn't break when it hit the ground, so Kanzaki picked it up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZVsrimMLT
He goes down to the basement and notices that the room is full of dirty water. The basement was huge, not like a normal one. "G-gahh..." Kanzaki says, a disgusted expression on his face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ0o7Dt1CB
I'll have to do this... He takes a deep breath and dives in. The water was mint colored... Kanzaki notices that a ghost was under him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAbtcGf9VR
No, it was something else... It wasn't a ghost. The person tilts its head up, facing Kanzaki. "We finally see each other... Come here... My beloved son...'' a feminine voice whispered. It was Mio. Her eyes were yellow... She looked like a devil.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7H5jqk7oZ
Kanzaki tries to get some fresh air and swims back up... Mio grabs his feet. "Don't leave me... I've been waiting years for this moment..." she pleads.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaWVDYsfpd
Kanzaki opens his mouth to say something but remembers he's underwater. He tries to kick Mio but she also grabs his other feet. "Mphh..." Kanzaki mumbles, struggling to get above the water.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWdZXvsPiu
"I'll take you down with me... So come..." Mio says, her eyes glowing. Kanzaki closes his eyes and lets Mio pull him down...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8CXQ9VC60
I'm nothing without someone by my side... He opens his eyes again and looks at Mio. Sorry... I couldn't save you...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpbtMDOyEG
Kanzaki hears a voice in his head. "You got this, Kanzaki! Don't you dare die because we're gone!" There were multiple voices.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72iYEllosN
Then he sees them... Sora... Remi... Mio... Akira... Takahiro... His father. They were standing there, right in front of him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMLp0TNXa2
Akira reaches her hand out to him. "Don't blame yourself... You're a strong person, Kanzaki. Follow your heart," she says, smiling at him. He touches her hand but doesn't shake it... They slowly vanish.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrydxRv4ynS
Kanzaki's eyes open fully. He turns to Mio and grabs her face. He looks under him and notices how deep it was... He couldn't even see the end.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7IpXCxAlC
Mio smirks and bites his hand. Kanzaki doesn't scream. He bites his bottom lip to hold back.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrEO4BlPXC
Mio's smirk widens even more. "It's such an honor to see you struggle... Kanzaki, how do you feel about everyone dying for you, while you're doing nothing...? You're useless, Kanzaki. Don't you understand... They hate you, they wished they never sacrificed for someone like you!!!" Mio says, a sadistic smile on her face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOvg5KFNLd
Kanzaki headbutts Mio, making her back off. "How dare you!" she yells as she rubs her forehead. She squints her eyes. Kanzaki decides to swim to the top while she's healing. Mio quickly notices and swims to him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpe8oNgnJE
Kanzaki grits his teeth, his lungs won't be able to survive it for long. She's a lot faster than me... He looks down and notices that she could literally catch him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWpSSIb9Gr
He tries to swim faster... But the water kept getting heavier... It made him drown. No one could help him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOxA6EUuU
"Die... Please," she whispered. Kanzaki holds onto Mio's arm. "Why... Are you doing this..." he asks, his voice muffled by the water.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzWMW5YAw1
Mio looks at him with a confused face. "I can't hear you," she answers, leaning closer to him. Kanzaki looked at her with sleepy eyes. "Sorry..." he says before he sinks deeper...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUp7JffZPd
Mio catches him. "I'm supposed to kill you... Not you dying because of water," she says. Kanzaki's body felt light. Mio tries to eat him but then... Kanzaki takes out the knife from his pocket and stabs her.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqUmMsTCJN
Mio coughs out blood. Her appearance changes. Her yellow eyes turn brown. Her red skin turns into a light beige one.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAkQT3gdX2
Slowly, the color in her eyes disappear. Darker... Hollower... Lifeless. Her pulse wasn't there. Her heart wasn't beating. She was dead.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBIQv3VjwY
Kanzaki holds the knife firmly and swims back to the top of the basement. Somehow, guilt didn't hit him hard. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1uPtATZdQ
When he arrives at the top, he turns back one more time. "Farewell, mother," he says before leaving the basement.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDZkZySrqs
Kanzaki's clothes felt heavy. He searches through every drawer and closet, but there wasn't anything useful.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwkka6VOje
He sees stairs but... It felt like he's missing something here. It feels strange, this wasn't how it felt earlier.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NB1wVmjxU
He takes a look at the basement again... The room was covered with steam. Something is in the water... He takes a look at it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8u23f1B6I
He hears someone whistling. It came from the water... Just what was it... It can't be a ghost... Kanzaki crouches and touches the water with his fingertip.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZPZy5ZIrU
He quickly pulls back as he feels the heat. The whistling was heard again. Kanzaki tries to look if there's something in it but... He couldn't see it because of the color...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtYLOVIit2
Slowly it changed to a red color, almost like blood. He decides to dive in, once again. This time to find out the cause of the whistling and the color.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsczYamWzTK
Kanzaki takes a deep breath and dives into the water. Kanzaki sees something pink coming towards him...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0m8wRPGvQf
It was white, big and looked like a whale... He sees the eye of the beast right in front of him. The eyes were black, round and staring at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9mmTswdMv
It starts whistling again. The beast opened its mouth and Kanzaki went in... Unfortune strucks a lot.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTswEoV3R7g
Kanzaki holds onto one of the whales teeth as he tries to not slide into the whales' stomach.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzYs7FzksZ
The teeths were rather sharp. Kanzaki nearly falls down, his hands are slippery.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK5kXdnvAe
With all his might, he pushes himself up. The whale whistles again. Kanzaki squints his eyes as he realizes that he can't cover his ears.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThAeAg04jk
He looks around for a bit and then notices that the whales tongue was bleeding. There was a deep cut in it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg4PQotfn5
Must hurt... I hope you get better soon... Kanzaki holds onto the teeth even tighter and tries to check how deep the wound is. His hand slips through the wound with ease. Kanzaki's eyes widen.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6GDoawI3g
How did it even get wounded... He pulls his hand back. It was fully covered in blood. Kanzaki wipes it off on his pants and waits until the whale opens his mouth.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cORAwiaXt
After a few moments... The whale finally opens his mouth... Kanzaki swims out of it and tries to reach the top...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkAzJhEYTG
The mouth closes and the whale looks at Kanzaki. Kanzaki smiles at the whale and then disappears out of its sight.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaO1W7fuiN
Kanzaki slowly lets himself fall on the ground. He was tired from all those experiences.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KRZchJ5OM

Haruki appears behind him again. "Took you long enough," Haruki said as he waits for Kanzaki to stand up. "Come on! Or else they will die!" Haruki says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcFaF1xQpf
Kanzaki stands up and walks to Haruki. Haruki hands him a camera. "I'll wait here until you're done," Haruki says before he lays down.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ309dcUr4eA
Kanzaki gulps and nods after. He heads to the second floor. The lights were flickering... This place definitely was haunted.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUeNCK8mNi
It's not like he can escape that easily. The room was filled with chairs, drinks and wine. Most of them were on the ground but others were there, as if they were new.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aHvvudObV
He hears someone coughing. The door closes with a loud slam. Kanzaki looks around, trying to find someone.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uEGNCw0W3
Just at that moment, Kanzaki feels someone's presence. Behind him. He couldn't move, he was scared. "W-what..." Kanzaki says, stuttering slightly.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80jDEoY2zU
"We finally meet... I couldn't wait..." the person behind him says. "I always wanted to meet you... So I can continue my experiments now..." he says while hugging Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6GXDKruRC
Kanzaki lets the camera fall, suprised by the man. Kanzaki flinches as the person hugs him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy1TqtSd3y
When he looks behind, there was a man behind him. The only thing Kanzaki saw were his eyes and hair. Both were green, which was weird. The man grabs Kanzaki's hands and slowly ties them up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrA5W2cIQ9
"It's gonna be a nice experiment... Trust me..." the man said. "Incase... I'm Ayato and I... Will just take an IQ test... Be kind and just answer the questions, Kanzaki..." Ayato says, smirking, "Or you'll just have to face the consequences, sadly." Ayato starts whistling as he takes a knife out of his pocket.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5JQAUPsPA
Kanzaki takes a deep breath to calm down and closes his eyes. The man chuckles, knowing that Kanzaki isn't scared anymore.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8VaYKCcFB
"Impressive... No wonder you got this far. No one has ever done that, not even past the Yurei's house yet... Gin just killed Banji while he was asleep... Can't blame him..." Ayato informs as he leans closer to Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9npAptaoFv
Kanzaki's eyes were red, he was staring at the wall. "Oh... What happened..." Ayato asks before he notices... Kanzaki's eyes were fully red...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xduindpT6
Ayato steps back. "How did you get red eyes... What an coincidence... So that's you huh?! Kagume's successor..." He says, trying to stab Kanzaki. Ayato smirks as Kanzaki's stomach bleeds.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeliTexKy84
Suddenly, Haruki appears. He hands Kanzaki bandages and turns to Ayato. "Who are you to hurt him like that?!" Haruki yells.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9L0foPRq5
Ayato looks with a confused face. "A wolf that can talk... Weird," he says. Haruki grits his teeth and looks at Ayato. He starts drooling and sprints at Ayato, managing to bite his arm.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4CEKIlAXY
"You-... Get off me!!!" Ayato yells, trying to throw Haruki away. Kanzaki quickly puts the bandage on his stomach, the bleeding stopped.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yRDbuIqnP
Haruki jumps off Ayato and looks at Kanzaki. "Go to the attic! I'll handle him!" Haruki says, turning back to Ayato.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuUPXDkIOB
Kanzaki's eyes turn back to normal and he leaves the room. There was another stair to the left.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxsG267a1F
He heads there as he clutches his arm. He nearly falls as his feet twisted. He managed to grab the stair railing right on time.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXweRHVjcVX
He stops for a bit and breathes... After some minutes, he regained his composure and opened the door...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByumxhRy3F
Kanzaki sees four people in the attic. One of them was the devil Astaroth. Three kids were tied up behind Astaroth, two girls and a boy.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxYx32G3MT
The boy had grey hair and green eyes, he was sitting in the middle. The girl on the left had brown hair and hazel brown eyes... The one on the right was the girl Kanzaki met back then... Momosuke.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvGOzrO4zA
Astaroth looks at him and crosses his arms. "What are you doing here?" he asks, gritting his teeth. "Leave them alone, what are you even doing?!" Kanzaki yells.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgtdWqSTCT
Astaroth glares at him. "Watch your tone, kid..." he says. Astaroth claps with his hand and then... Two people arrive.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEterGeKmc
One of them was a man with red hair and yellow eyes, the other person was a dark figure... There were torches on the wall, lighting up the room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4czPBoxUmf
Momosuke looks up and smiles. She points at Astaroth and gestures to one of the torches and then acts like she throws it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07fwkQB9FF
When Astaroth looks behind him, she quickly sits still like before. Kanzaki realizes that she wants him to take a torch and burn the house with it...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekRZBHyZQn
He frowns slightly. If I set it on fire... Wont she die too? Kanzaki notices that the dark figure was in front of him. The person pushed Kanzaki towards Astaroth roughly.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYkeOAJU15
Astaroth looked at Kanzaki. "You had the nerve to run away... You were supposed to be my feast, not a chicken..." he says, grabbing Kanzaki's head.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPrTwnI8Gf
The girl with brown curly hair looks up and has a worried look on her face. Empathy. Something he hasn't seen for a while.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKARvarDLH4
Kanzaki gestures them to try and free theirselves while Astaroth and his servants are focused on him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBzEp61EY
The boy had sharp teeth and bit the tie off with ease. He slowly crawls to Momosuke and helps her. The other girl managed to twist the tie and shred it.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4sCtVzvux
Kanzaki grins. The boy stands up, his moves slow and deliberate. Kanzaki throws Momosuke's knife to her, Astaroth not even noticing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLPwW7sotR
"Why are you not afraid... I can take your life right here, right now..." Astaroth says, growling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq1EeQHzGF
"Because... I promised to stay alive, so I'll never die... Especially not in your hands, devil," Kanzaki says, laughing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZu7CWqHlj
Momosuke hands the knife over to the boy but then... The dark figure puts his hand on the boy's shoulder. "Looks like our assisstants got a goal," he says, snatching the knife away.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpgTgIzu3p
Kanzaki grits his teeth, veins popping out of his neck. The boy's eyes widened but he quickly turned around and punched the figure. The figure backed off, dizzy because of the punch.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl91rfib2CE
The boy stood up and pulled Momosuke and the other girl with him. "Stay there..." he said, cautious. Momosuke and the girl nodded.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpVqFx9dj4
He took one of the torches and threw it to Astaroth, he catches it and chuckles. Momosuke and the girl stand up. The boy ran to the door and held it open, waiting for them.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFyftjkLdl
Banji appeared behind him and hit the boy's neck with the side of his hand. The boy fell on the ground, Momosuke and the girl froze.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oAC6D6MRs
"Zakiko, the knife!" Momosuke yelled as she turned to the girl. The girl hands her the knife the figure had.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvZEZnSN8G
Momosuke rushes at Banji and stabs him several times in the stomach. "Die!!!" she yells, her voice loud and clear.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eCyVRs7LD
Banji puts his hand on his stomach and leans on the wall. He grunts in pain Momosuke and Zakiko lift the boy and head downstairs...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUefnNfGKzs
Astaroth lets the torch fall on the ground, the fire spreading rapidly. The heat was burning Kanzaki, but he kept standing. Someone started screaming. The dark figure vanished.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG806Wa8ek7
Kanzaki looks at Astaroth. "Does it really hurt? You've done a lot worse... Just go back to hell," Kanzaki says, clenching his fists.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9NYbwiBLk
Astaroth falls on the ground, his body getting divided in half. "Those who look down on others... Will never be accepted, by nothing other than death!!!" Kanzaki yells, his heart rate quickening.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkAIFwfJGf
The fire kept spreading, covering the entire room. Kanzaki tries to go to the door, but the fire covers it fully. He looks around but... He couldn't escape. "Kanzaki!" a feminine voice yelled.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfMl13CBxc
"What?" Kanzaki answered. The person was outside. "Just run with all your might! It wont matter if the fire burns you!" the girl yells. Kanzaki takes a deep breath and sprints...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHROPYV8BN

327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxG8cqgpGw
After a few moments, he opens his eyes and notices that Momosuke was standing there. She let a bucket of water fall on him. Kanzaki shivers because of the cold water.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNvMAc1Ehp
"Fast, we have to get out of here!" Momosuke says as she grabs his hand and heads downstairs with him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4JoZWH5pG
Kanzaki looks at the room where Haruki was in while they passed by... Is he okay? He quickly shakes the thoughts off his mind and focuses on escaping.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6GOGAf9tU
Haruki was on the ground, his body covered in blood. Ayato looks at him. "You ruined it... Because of you..." Ayato says, his eyes turning into a deep blue color.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1g1EolnSE
Haruki tries to stand up but falls down. Ayato sits down in front of him. "You're not smarter than him... But it's worth it," he says, inspecting Haruki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oSWUtb0pd
Haruki squints his eyes and tries to turn around but can't. Ayato grabs his ear and puts pressure on it. "Who are you, huh? Just barging in like that..." he said, giving him a death stare.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQkyc3N7a2
Ayato notices that the door was set on fire now... He opens the window and jumps out of it, leaving Haruki there. He looks at the door and slowly closes his eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bIMOyWVFl
"I was... Just a sacrifice after all," he says, sighing in relief. "You can turn into a human being now..." a voice said, echoing in Haruki's head.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ4lRZcHbz
The fire spread through room... As Haruki got burnt. Haruki's eyes opened and he quickly realizes that he wasn't done yet.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKEAK1LdGQ
He jumps out of the window and turns into a boy wearing a blue kimono with purple flowers on it, white short hair, blue eyes and a kitsune mask on the upper side of his head. He smiles as he sees Ayato.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXuvxS2hNQ
"I wont back off... Not yet," Haruki says, walking to Ayato. Ayato rubs his eyes and looks at Haruki again. "You're the wolf?" he asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeLwYjQ4ax
Haruki nods. "Yeah, that's me," he answers. Ayato grins. "Another one of those 'mythical' creatures, huh?" he says, trying to rage bait Haruki. Haruki stays quiet. "Honored to meet you, psychopath," Haruki says, smiling at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvI627ZFeK
Ayato clenches his fist and rushes at Haruki... Ayato punched Haruki's stomach but... Haruki didn't feel anything at all. It was like Ayato hit a wall instead. Haruki opens his mouth, revealing his silver sharp teeth.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4kSzCzRZm
He bites Ayato's elbow and tries to shred his limb off. Ayato screams in pain. "LET GO OF ME, YOU MONSTER!!!" Haruki managed to pull his elbow off his arm.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrFpASbMGz
He spits blood out his mouth and groans in pain. "This time... Japan wont fall... No one will die anymore... THIS IS OUR VICTORY!!!" Haruki yells, his voice echoing through the forest.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAiCePb7lp
Ayato leans on a wall, but before he even notices... Akuma pulled his head off... When she let go, his body fell on the ground. She threw his head far away, so far it was out of her sight.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGrgdqQo0e
Kanzaki runs to Haruki. Momosuke and Zakiko came after, the boy in Zakiko's arms. "Haruki... You did what you could, I'm so proud of you... Now you can go back, your family is waiting, Haruki. Goodbye!" Akuma says, smiling at him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNL5kZ7JZk
Haruki tears up. "Thank you, everyone," he said before he walked to Kanzaki. "Good luck... You got this now, Kanzaki," Haruki motivates before he pulls Akuma and Kanzaki in a tight hug.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xnhSKK5SF
Haruki takes the mask on the side of his face off and hands it to Kanzaki. "Please keep it. Save Kawasaki, Kanzaki... Show what you got," Haruki said, revealing a scar on the side of his face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAIfoExzpn
He looks up and then slowly vanishes into bits, going in the air. Kanzaki traces his fingers over the mask... I'll protect it with all my heart...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPv6jEw35q
He hears someone sobbing, when he looks to the side, he notices Akuma was crying. She wasn't sad though... Those were tears of joy.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17njd9mMG
Momosuke and Zakiko put the boy down. Akuma said she had things to do, so she left.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡla1RmdGhrp
Kanzaki looks at Momosuke. "What's his name?" he asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlG6bMW8miF
"Yoshika is his name," Momosuke answers as Zakiko sits down.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcYQ22gCKl
"What's left to do now?" Zakiko asks, uncertain.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgRKvh0zBL
Momosuke wanted to say something but she didn't. "What's wrong?" Zakiko , looking at Momosuke.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhN5wKbjDc
"Nothing, just a bit tired," Momosuke answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4IxYmJwWW
Kanzaki sighs in relief. "Now... Well, I have no idea when he wakes up," he says, looking at Yoshika.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMoPwRTihR
"He isn't asleep. He's just unconscious... For now," Zakiko answers, rolling her eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCW29uox0n
She remembers that the knife was still in her hand and inspects it. "Momosuke... Where did you get this from?" Zakiko questioned, frowning.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT2Tkih0L1
Momosuke stays silent... Her face darkens. Kanzaki stares at Zakiko but then takes the knife. He gives it back to Momosuke. "If you're holding something as dangerous as that... It must be precious," he says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHR1yPdjv2P
He turns back to Zakiko. "It might be better if you don't even ask about it. It's her life after all," he adds. Zakiko nods and looks away. Momosuke smiles after she had the knife in her hand.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZVxtCNV2x
Kanzaki remembers that Momosuke gave him a knife back then. "This was yours too... Wasn't it?" he says before taking the knife out of his pocket.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPFtyqcQMj
Momosuke shakes her head and slides it back in his pocket. "That's Akuma's knife," she answers. Kanzaki's eyes widen.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMANc8ayps
"What do you mean?" he asks. "Everyone who isn't human has them... And yeah, I'm not a human being, neither is Akuma... Zakiko and Yoshika are," she answers, her voice clear. Yoshika wakes up and blinks multiple times. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrU6l2xguy
"Where are we...?" Yoshika asks, slowly regaining consciousness.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHgur6KPSZ
Kanzaki looks at him. "The forest," he answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh8m41VloP
Zakiko crouches next to Yoshika. "Are you okay?" she asks, concern written all over her face. Yoshika nods and stands up. He looks at Kanzaki and reaches out his hand.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Rkszd0cc
"I'm Yoshika, nice to meet you!" he says, smiling as Kanzaki shook his hand. Kanzaki walks away as he notices that the fire kept spreading. The others were following him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtfxUqj7TZ
"Where are we going?" Momosuke asks, unsure.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62o29z8oG0
"Back to Kawasaki. The risen is probably there... Now," he answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV5Cy1xrY5
"Do you know who it is?" Zakiko asks, curiousity dwelling. Kanzaki shakes his head.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1NwUwfYtx
"Not yet... But I already have a clue of who it could be," Kanzaki answers, gritting his teeth.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5WipVylGO
"Is it someone you know?" Zakiko asks again, leaning closer to him. Kanzaki nods.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZAVKUunH2
"Yeah... Someone I know... Pretty well," he answers his face darkening again. Zakiko puts her hand on this shoulder.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EPs2YNIxM
"Are you gonna do it alone or... Do you need our help?" Yoshika asks, trying to change the subject a bit.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESo4jnpgZy
"I'll do it alone. Don't even come in... Just try to find people and bring them to a safe place. That's all I ask of you three..." Kanzaki says. He sees the entrance of the forest.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRB8Sj6fIH
"Alright... Do what I told you to, don't follow me," he says as he turned around. He looked at all of them for a bit again and then left. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKk1iNHpNZ
I should've thought about it before... That time me and Akira went home... Mother was praying. I could see... A photo of Gin was in the room, as if he was dead. I was confused but... Now I finally understand.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfAymnIFcV
Gin is the risen one. I never expected it but, turns out nightmares are the definitions of reality. I wish it wasn't true, I wanted to live a normal life... With everyone who's precious to me... Even though I'm a distant person... I still care about them.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWk34zRe0p
Akira made me open up to the world but... What was the cost? Her death? I wonder why they took it away from me. Because of this stupid curse, I lost them all. I still have to kill him, I'll do it without hesitation. He's dead anyways, it wont matter if he died once again.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEma6uFSxx
I'll even risk it for my life, if I need to. It's been such a while since I lost someone. Ever since my father left, of course. I can't believe I left Akira like that... I'm such an fool... I let someone that precious to me die... If she was alive, would she forgive me?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a3IlylJhk
I don't know, all those questions can't be answered. They're dead, they wont ever come back. Why did the Yurei even exist, in the first place? Wasn't it supposed to save Kawasaki? Why did it destroy?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxPCkaOc8z
It chose violence... Even though I have no idea why. Did the experiments fail? Or was it just... By choice?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3pWWyp2b3
Kanzaki kept thinking about it. It just wouldn't leave his mind. He continued running, his legs didn't stop.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5VSwyGGjK

He stops in front of Gin's house. The scent of flowers and old art came right to him. He takes a deep breath and opens the door... It was unlocked but then... The scent of blood filled the house...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡertS6WWs85
Kanzaki opened all the doors, trying to find Gin. He enters the living room, to his suprise, Gin was there munching on something...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Zllo9k3A
Kanzaki sees a head rolling to him. It was Takahiro's head... Kanzaki takes a step back. His breath came in ragged gasps... He wanted to go, but he knew he couldn't.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyiF6V6pOK
Gin slowly tilted his head up, looking at Kanzaki. "Hey... Nice to see you again," he says, patting the place next to him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvByBxyG2JJ
Kanzaki gulps, scared that he will die too. Gin looks at the meat and then back to him. "Oh... I forgot..." he says before he puts the meat away and walks back to Kanzaki.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqw0wQlPnZ
He traces Kanzaki's face with his fingers. "You've grown a lot... Is it a good time to eat you yet... Or... Do I have to wait?" Gin asks, a sadistic smile on his face.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcueScXjLt
Kanzaki pushes him away and tries to open the door so he can escape but... It was locked.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaNhwquS5x
"My my... No way you just tried to escape... That isn't possible... Especially when I'm here..." Gin says, standing up. Kanzaki tries again to open the door but the doorknob didn't budge at all.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUP8USaiBR
His hart starts beating faster as Gin gets closer. I have no other choice... Kanzaki takes out the knife. "Don't you get closer..." he says... It was a clear warning.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjwTndJf6W
Momosuke, Zakiko and Yoshika were looking for people that needed help. "Who do you think Kanzaki meant...?" Zakiko asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgQAEDk5Pw
"I have no damn idea... Maybe a friend or a relative," Yoshika guesses.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8x3n2f7Gx
Momosuke's eyes light up. "Guys! Over here!" she says, as she tried to pull someone out. "There's someone here!" Momosuke said, gesturing Yoshika and Zakiko to come and help.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACreqgbGLQ
The person's hand was little, as if it was a child. Yoshika moved the rocks with all his might and it worked. Momosuke and Zakiko slowly pulled the person out.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxulTArAwn
It was a girl, she has two little blonde pigtails and a blue, ripped dress. Her sky blue eyes were glowing and a bit of her face was covered in dirt.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTqP14gGvR
"Are you okay?" Yoshika asks as he looks at the little girl. She has a look of unease on her face but then slowly walks to Yoshika.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx9hwxK1zV
She holds her hands up as if she wanted him to lift her. Yoshika looked at Zakiko and then at Momosuke. He was hesitating...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgjN01Fzmw
When he did that, she pointed under some rocks. "Mom!" she said. Momosuke and Zakiko look at the rocks. They see blood under it when they try to push the rocks away...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mcqX95mFY
Momosuke falls on her knees. "Yoshika... S-she's dead..." Momosuke says as she sees a woman fully covered in blood.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRitcDoJlN9
Yoshika turns around, making sure the girl can't see. "Hey, I'll take care of you from now on... Okay?" Yoshika says, his face softening. Zakiko and Momosuke take out the body and brings it somewhere else.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8KDrTQTfq
"What's your name...?" Yoshika asks, looking at the girl with his green eyes.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kJZ612Ejl
"Nina!" the girl says, smiling. "Where's mom?" Nina asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF2KoWWZKE
Yoshika took a deep breath. "She's... In a better place now, don't worry about it," he answers, hugging her so she couldn't see his tears.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8xw33CdWS
Gin came closer to Kanzaki. He looked at Kanzaki with his grey eyes. Kanzaki freezes but then...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPS0sSRS2H
When he opens his eyes, he notices that he stabbed Gin. Gin fell on the ground, not breathing anymore... He slowly vanished. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to lose you. I lost myself," Gin said before his face also disappeared.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVCaYylhlA
Kanzaki looks at Takahiro's dead body. He crouches... "May you rest well..." Kanzaki says before he stood up and left the living room. He closed all the doors, but then Akuma appeared.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3GVpbwPrE
"Make a wish... Remember, I can't bring someone back to life forever or rebuild something. So what will it be, Kanzaki?" she asked, smiling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlZkqPFLsm
Kanzaki hesitated but then spoke. "I want to see Akira, I just want to talk to her for a bit, please," he answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceneWBXwDA
Akira appeared, her wounds weren't there. She smiled at him. "Konnichiwa, Kanzaki... How are you doing?" she asked, her blue eyes bright.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsLe0jgP10
"Good... How about you?" he answered.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHzaaL2vob
"Fine... There's something I've been wanting to tell you..." she says, looking away. "I know it's late but... I like you, Kanzaki... So those are probably my last words... I love you, Kanzaki. I always will," Akira said before disappearing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe4qDSdo7b
Kanzaki fell on his knees... His heart was beating rapidly. There was always this weird feeling in my stomach... I like you too, Akira.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMBqwlrFbF
He stands up and turns to Akuma. "Thank you, I appreciate it," he says, bowing. Akuma waves and vanished after. Kanzaki leaves the house.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqePCwAMh
It's all over... We can finally start... A new life... A new... Village... Kanzaki thought before he fell on the ground. It was cold outside... He heard the sirens coming closer... Everything became blurry...327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ew6dajvW

It was loud and chaotic in Kawasaki village. The complete opposite of how it normally was.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5qYGhq6nN
"Take him! Look for other wounded people!" Were the last words Kanzaki heard before he fell in a deep slumber... He got lifted and put on a bed... 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0naBDz8eCI
Yoshika saw people coming to him. There were doctors and police officers. One of the doctor quickly approached him. He handed him a blanket for Nina, which was surprisingly asleep.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnESVspXYn
Yoshika wrapped the blanket around Nina and followed the doctors. "Are there any other people?" one of the doctors asked. "Yes... four other people," Yoshika answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxURxDgVtcd
"Two of them in the forest... And... The other two will come back soon... They went to... Look for something," Yoshika answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNqx0dCmSS
After a few moments, Yoshika learned some of the doctors' names. The one who talked the most to Yoshika was Maiko, who was a female genius at healing. Another kind person was Daisuke. He was a male who was doctor and CEO of a huge company.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzxINUmyMg
Nina was brought to a car, she was next to Kanzaki. Momosuke and Zakiko came back after a bit... And then Sora also came. He had no wounds, and looked pretty much like a normal human being.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMaGXE7bpB
The firefighters took care of the fire in the forest and Akuma was hiding somewhere.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOBHhNm4Ed
Reina came right after Sora, her axe wasn't on her back this time. She looked like a high school girl without the axe.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdT2ijvNfO
"Were those all the people?" Daisuke asked. Yoshika nodded. "We'll need you to come with us for a bit, after some days, you will live here again. Just trynna see if there's anything dangerous left," one of the officers said, smiling at them.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN987uKUis
Yoshika, Momosuke and Zakiko both give each other a high-five. Kawasaki will be a peaceful village again! They all thought of it, right at the same time.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHPAnxVRGO
Reina and Sora stayed awake the whole night. "Are they going to rebuild Kawasaki? Also, where's Akuma...?" Reina asked, crossing her arms.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R9MM1I5dW
"Yeah, they said they will be done in a few weeks, since it isn't a big village anyways. Akuma already granted someone a wish, she's gone now. It was the third time, so she's dead," Sora explained. Reina nodded.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm7l23nR2r
"Will you live in Kawasaki?" she asked, looking at him with her red eyes. Sora rolls his eyes. "Of course I will. I'm not leaving them alone. They're... My friends," he answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTmDF08Zg4
Reina looks at him. "Did the girl who was used for making ghosts survive?" she asked. "No, she's dead," he answers. Reina's nods and lightly slaps him. "Atleast apologize for sending my beautiful axe to a whole other dimension, idiot!" she yells, pouting.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5f47pRRvN
"It's not my problem, you have to live a normal life now. Stop being an assassin," he says, patting her head before he left the room.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsHK36uGbh
Reina sits there, trying to know what he just did. "I'M NOT A PUPPY!!!" she yells, her voice echoing through the empty halls of the hospital. She heard Sora chuckling. Reina stood up and also left the room. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFvetyt8WL
A month later... Kanzaki and Sora were sitting on a bench outside, looking at the river. Kanzaki was looking at the mask Haruki gave him.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hde2iGkw0
Kawasaki was rebuilt, the buildings looked a lot better. As if it was a new village now, it was quiet.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6FIUDOkPy
After a few minutes, Momosuke, Zakiko and Reina came. "Where's Yoshika?"327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tLkQrmYfP
Kanzaki asked. "He will come soon," Zakiko answered. Momosuke was holding a picnic basket.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZnmoFjGfx
"Time for a great evening!" she said, her eyes shining. Yoshika came after Momosuke and Zakiko found a place. Nina was on Yoshika's back, her hair was a bit longer than the last time.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwSPgFKDCe
She had a half-up ponytail and was wearing a purple skirt this time. "The princess arrives!" Yoshika said as he put her on the table. Sora and Kanzaki both laugh. Reina stares at Nina, but when Nina looks at her she turns around.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT9kPTSQrG
"Who are you?" Nina asked. Reina looked at her again.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEpzh6lowx
"My name is Reina," Reina answers.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzcKWAbSBM
"Leina!" Nina says as she smiles.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ0HoBDlqh
"No its... Reina," Reina says again, her voice clear.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdYujAjGu0
"Leina!" Nina says again, chuckling.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLm3JT1PMi
Reina gives up and sits next to Zakiko. "Who's grilling?" Momosuke asks. Kanzaki and Sora both stand up.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0IzmsFxcU
After a while, they were finally done. Nina stands up and was about to jump off the table. Yoshika notices it with the corners of his eyes and he quickly catched her, his stomach hit the side of the table. He grunts before putting Nina on the table.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbWkWRYgQJ
"Zakiko, did you bring it?" he asks. Zakiko nods and puts a box on the table.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GRfUhN53P
"Let's welcome this little girl," Momosuke says before she opens the box, revealing a cake. It was topped with cherries and strawberries.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFElvALFKv
The name 'Nina' was written on it and there were edible flowers made out of sugar on the sides of the cake. "Welcome, Nina!" everyone yelled in unison.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0EJfwa9JQ
It's been a long day... Everyone was tired, but Nina was still playing tag with Yoshika. Kanzaki looked at Sora and the others.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxFEiLq5x2

"It feels nice... To see this again, everyone's living in peace," Kanzaki says, smiling. Sora nods. "You did such a great job, now we should just enjoy our lives," he says.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgDv5A5ZTJ
Reina slaps Sora lightly. "Bring my axe back when you can," she orders.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pTRaggSxd
"I can't bring it back, do you want me to die?" he answers, his voice lower than a whisper.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd14039zMs
Reina leans closer to him. "What did you say?" she asks.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrH8thb5x9
"I said I'll do it, when I can," he answers, grinning.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4Uow5YeG8
Reina nods and walks to Nina. "Leina!" Nina yelled as soon as she saw Reina. She hugged her leg, the height difference was a bit too much. Reina crouched and ruffled Nina's hair.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4fLMtrvqk
Nina looked at her for a few minutes and then went back to Yoshika. They were all laughing... A dark figure behind a tree was grinning. ''It isn't over yet... Just watch... You didn't kill the Yurei... You broke the seal to greater evil...'' it said before disappearing.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lGo5uZ4QL
It was a disaster in the streets of Tokyo. The huge billboard on the street displayed news, even though the screen became black every now and then. Koharu, Kohaki and Kenji saw each other and gathered. Right now... Being alone wasn't the safest option.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAOeoX2pn
"What happened?!" Kenji asks, looking around. Koharu and Kohaki just stay quiet. It started raining. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvND91S6aC
"I-I think... The Y-yurei has been de-..." Kohaki whispers, but Koharu breaks her off. 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXLRbteDQy
"We should try to... Get out of Tokyo. This will end up bad, I know it! We can't stay here any longer, work with me, Kenji," Koharu says, worried. Kenji was about to say something, but a monotone voice was heard. News?327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HTyOoLktz
"Kagume has been awakened. The seal to her awakening has been broken. The world will stop turning... The clocks will stop ticking... The world will burn. Nothing will be left but ashes. She has woken up from a slumber and who knows... She might be up to no good," a woman said calmly.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaAB04Hufo
She didn't have a worried expression at all. Emotionless. As if she wasn't human. "You can escape or... You can die..." she whispered.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoSCgFhOzQ
The screen started glitching. The power went off. It was dark, no one saw each other. No one knows what's happening.327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoKBcGPWyO
Is Japan falling into despair? Is this the end of the world? The unanswered questions still lurk... 327Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4NgDxCqB2
