With her palms facing up, she seemed as though she were making some kind of signal, but all that she seemed to do was bend her fingers. The Kotori Obake reached out her arms towards Suga. Therefore, the compensation you shall pay, is the voice that leaks from your lips, your whispers, all that resounds." "Your face, your feet, your arms, your gut, all of it smells of something I hate. In that pallid face, another grin appeared on those bluish lips. And then, as if some kind of miracle had occurred, the Kotori Obake said,

It was frustrating that no other words would come to mind. "….Then, I'll do anything, so please don't take Shi-chan away right now….!" He felt as though he had fallen into bottomless pit. Suga's face was drenched with both the drizzle and tears. The Kotori Obake's bluish-white face projected a smile as if she were torturing a small animal. The courage he had worked so hard to muster was not enough to reach the Kotori Obake. Sorry I did something so selfish.Įven so. Even above that, there was no way he could let the girl he cared for most do such a thing. But, well.īecause, after all, he no longer had a father. "….I, I'll make the promise, so, don't make a promise with Shi-chan….!"įl.u.s.tered, she tried to restrain him. Even so, with all his might, he screwed up his courage to speak. To make a promise with Shi-chan in place of me!Īghast, he shouted, "W, wait!" As he said this, his eyes met those of the Kotori Obake, and his hands and feet began trembling in fear. But that wasn't supposed to be for such a life-or-death situation.īut the Kotori Obake did not give Shiori the time for persuasion. But, even so, I don't want Sugkun to disappear!

Using this moment, Suga clung to Shiori in a panic.īut Shiori flung him off. Reckless Shiori, saying such things without thought, that was why she had an endless stream of injuries. This scene was reminiscent of the times she had protected him from the bullies. It seemed like there was no room for negotiation. "There is no way to run from the promise." Raising his head, Suga saw Shiori spreading her arms and shielding him from the Kotori Obake.

With an impact, the voice resounded through their heads, saying "You can't run from the promise." Floating in the air with her disheveled hair, she smoothly closed in on Shiori. Of course, the Kotori Obake wouldn't let them go. "What are you doing?! Sugkun, we have to run!" Even so, the minute she recognized Suga, without fear she stood between the two. Shiori was a daughter of the family of "Ogami-san." Though she definitely knew the folk tales about the forest, this would definitely still be her first time actually meeting the Kotori Obake. At the exact moment Suga was being forced into making a promise with the Kotori Obake, Shiori appeared.
