Senpai!

Are you okay?

Yeah, thanks.

Kuriyama-san, it's not dead! Destroy its eye!

Its eye?

I'm going after it!

G-great! That's the spirit!

What're you doing? It's gonna get away!

I don't want to slice through the fence!

We can have the Cleaners fix it later!

But I hate doing stuff that makes me stand out!

Be careful! It's going berserk.

I know that!

Too slow!

It vanished...?

Kuriyama-san, be careful! Especially with your glasses.

You're being unpleasant!

It must have gone underground...

Found it!

Kuriyama-san!

Get it?

Yes...

Huh? Th-the eye can move?!

It's getting away, Kuriyama-san!

Can't we let it go?

After all this?

It won't... come back anymore.

Stop now and you earn zilch.

That's okay.

Uh, but how will you cover tomorrow's groceries?

And next month's rent?

How unpleasant!

It shouldn't hit him from here.

Kuriyama-san!

Stab it!

Hurry! Stab it!

No!

Kuriyama-san, are you all right?

I'm fine... It's just anemia.

This... uses my blood...

Let's take this to Ayaka-san tomorrow.

I'll pick you up in the morning.

Ayaka? Who's that?

An official appraiser for the Society of Spirit World Warriors who purchases yomu.

All of the Spirit World Warriors around here-

You should keep your distance.

I've released powers that I normally keep repressed.

Even an immortal wouldn't walk away unscathed...

But isn't it just blood?

Give me your hand.

I can do it myself.

Come on.

Let me show my gratitude. You saved me back in your apartment, remember?

Kuriyama-san, aren't you going to enter a club?

I don't have time for one.

Are you interested in the Literary Club?

Why?

I'd love to have a bespectacled beauty.

You're so unpleasant!

See, I'm already a member. There are only two of us, actually.

Oh! The other member is a Spirit World Warrior. I'm sure in this field, it helps to have connections

I'll pass.

Huh? Why?

I don't care to interact with others...

A babe in glasses under the moon...

This is unpleasant...

I'm the one who finds this unpleasant!

We're here.

A café?

No, a photo studio?

No, a photo studio?

Only as a front.

Kanbara-san, good morning!

Good morning! Is Ayaka-san around?

I'm sorry. She was up late last night, so she's still...

I see...

There was a yomu I was hoping she could take a look at.

You caught one? How unusual!

Wh-wh-wh-why are you casually talking to a yomu?!

Wait!

Don't tell me you never noticed! She's a yomu!

I know! But in a sense, she's on our side...

As you can see, she's no different from a normal person.

For the record, the same is true of Ayaka-san.

They're like normal people...?

Yep! Yomu come in all shapes and sizes!

My name is Ai Shindo.

Yomu appraise fellow yomu...?

Yep! We even have a certificate from the Society of Spirit World Warriors!

Yomu... dealing with yomu...?

We get that a lot.

No kidding! Humans don't go around appraising humans!

You shouldn't lump all yomu together!

There's a wide variety of us, ranging from insectoids to humanoids.

In a sense, we're jumbled together the same way mammals are.

Take cows and pigs. They may be mammals, but don't humans appraise them?

Well, when you put it that way...

I'm glad you understand!

How come you still seem unconvinced?

Akihito.

Who's that?

Oh, you haven't met? Uh, this-

You're a filthy player, Senpai!

How'd you reach that conclusion?!

Akihito, you're horrible!

Don't go along with her!

Mitsuki, haven't you heard of her? This is Mirai Kuriyama-san.

Oh, this is her!

So she was real.

What's that supposed to mean?

Simply put, I figured your mind invented an imaginary girl

who's cute in glasses and says, "Mew," at the end of sentences

since you're so pathetic that you can only sustain yourself through escapism.

I'm amazed at how easily you can dis me.

Oops. Was she supposed to say, "Glasses," instead?

"Yeah, glasses!" would make for the quirkiest character!

Yeah, that might actually work...

We really should get going...

Ai-chan, have the yomu been acting different from usual?

No, nothing comes to mind.

Did something happen?

Well, I ran into one that was rather aggressive...

Mitsuki, do you know anything?

Not interested.

You stuck your nose where it didn't belong, didn't you?

Don't assume I'm always in the wrong!

Oh, right! Kuriyama-san!

Uh, y-yes!

About what I said yesterday. Whatcha think?

I'd like to invite you to come visit the Literary Club. Is that cool?

You haven't joined any other clubs,

and there aren't all that many Spirit World Warriors at our school.

Plus you just got here, so-

I believe I've already turned you down.

Akihito.

Pervert.

How do you figure?

Oh, there she is!

Basic udon noodles again...

Basic udon noodles again...

Senpai!

It's on me. Eat up.

I-I don't need- Whoa!

Need me to hold that?

P-please do.

You can have this back!

But my hands are full.

Like I said!

Are you seriously dead set against joining the Literary Club?

Huh? Did you give it a try?

How was it? Was it any fun?

I'm low on options. I'll have to start with him.

I figured he'd be here.

Hiroomi!

Show a little respect.

I'm your senpai.

You forgot to put a cage around the school the other day, didn't you?

Thanks to you, I had to call the Cleaners!

I don't recall promising to keep a cage constantly around the school.

It's not like I'm obligated to protect the campus.

There's something I'd like to ask you.

I should think so. Otherwise, you'd have no reason to see me, Akkey.

Shall I shed light on why I don't care to see your face?

Because Spirit World Warriors and yomu are like water and oil?

Because you gave me some weird, washed-up idol's nickname!

Akkey, you're so rowdy! You never let that nickname slide.

I already regret coming to you and we've only been talking for 30 seconds! Apologize!

So, what did you want to ask?

Yesterday I ran into a rather aggressive yomu.

Any idea what could have set it off?

Are you getting involved in things you shouldn't again?

So what if I am?

I won't raise a hand against you, Akkey.

In exchange, Akkey, you aren't supposed to offer anyone support.

That was the promise, huh?

It wasn't a promise. It was a deal... for a truce.

Hiroomi...

Yes, Akkey?

What are your hands doing there?

See, my fingers were getting cold.

Akkey, your waist really is special.

Stop it!

Don't freak out over a fellow man wrapping his hands around your waist.

You bet I will!

I'm willing to acknowledge that your waist is pure and warm, if nothing else.

That doesn't make me the least bit happy! Now get back to the topic at hand!

The reason why girls give you the cold shoulder?

I'm kinda curious, but you're way off base! I'm here about the yomu!

Why do you want to know?

Did Mitsuki send you?

No, I'm here on my own accord.

In that case...

...I'm even less obligated to talk.

In other words, you know what triggered it?

You bought that?

She's not here, huh?

26,000 yen?! Seriously?

26,000 yen?! Seriously?

I believe I'm giving you an incredibly good price.

Oh, Kanbara-kun!

Hello.

I keep running into you!

Can you believe it? After all my hard work, she's only giving me 20,000 yen!

You shouldn't lie. We both know that yomu wasn't all that aggressive, now was it?

As if! It went nuts attacking me!

It really shouldn't have done that...

Oh, dear!

Hello!

Sorry. I'd like to run home and get changed before I head over.

Don't be stupid! What type of heroine attends a blind group date in wool panties?

She's as lively as ever.

So, has a girl named Kuriyama-san dropped by?

Kuriyama-san?

Oh, you mean the case Ai texted me about?

She hasn't come yet.

I see...

By the way, have you set up a new barrier to ward people off?

The old one was losing its effectiveness.

But a normal Spirit World Warrior should still see through a barrier of this level.

It's hard to say whether or not she counts as "normal."

If I remember right, the Nase Manor is up around the top of this hill.

Yep! Supposedly it's really huge!

May I help you?

No...

Goodbye.

I just can't seem to find it...

I'm sure it's somewhere around here...

Kuriyama-san.

Yes!

Oh, Senpai...

Come with me.

Uh, okay...

Um...

What?

Mitsuki-senpai, why...?

Why what?

Why are you with Senpai-Kanbara-senpai?

Good question.

If I were to answer it in one word,

you could say I'm "watching" him.

We're here.

It looks like her thoughts are embedded into it.

Care to see them?

Well, this postcard did come from my mother...

Yippee!

Yippee!

AKKUN, have you been doing awesome?

It's Yacchan-

It's Yacchan-

Could you pretend that you never saw any of that?

Kanbara-kun, was that your mother just now?

Yes! She's always been a bit crazy!

Me! Yes! She's always been a bit crazy!

Me! On Parents' Day in elementary school, she'd sit with the students and raise her hand.

On Parents' Day in elementary school, she'd sit with the students and raise her hand.

She's like a crazy artist!

Akihito, individuality that stands apart from the rest is a great asset.

How long have you been there?

Since you said, "I store glasses worn by high school girls in vinyl bags."

"I huff the air outta them like an addict."

I said no such thing!

That girl in glasses is Kuriyama-san, yes?

Y-yes!

I'm Ayaka Shindo. I'm a yomu, but please don't attack me.

Impeccable timing! You need to appraise Kuriyama-san's yomu, so my letter can wait.

I'd like to hear the rest! Please!

Wouldn't you?

Even I can get embarrassed, you know!

Now, now. It's true that cat-type yomu aren't too bright,

but you shouldn't be embarrassed of your own mother!

Wait! My mother isn't a yomu. She's a Spirit World Warrior.

My father is the yomu! We've been over this before!

Then how do you explain those ears...?

They're fake.

They looked awfully real.

She's a fanatic for detail!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?

Aw, screw it!

I'll never talk you guys out of it! Let's just get this over with!

I like when people know when to give up, Kanbara-kun.

I have something impurrtant to tell you, so stick with me to the end.

I have something impurrtant to tell you, so stick with me to the end.

There's something almost artistic about her twerking.

Could you please stop talking about my mother?

Oh, but first off, are you eating right?

If you don't cook for yourself now and then, you won't get the nutrition you need.

It's bad for your health!

It's bad for your health!

Christ's sake!

Akihito...

...please die.

Knock it off!

And continuing on.

Now for my important message.

A powerful yomu is headed your way, kitten!

A powerful yomu is headed your way, kitten!

Have you ever heard of the "Hollow Shadow"?

The Hollow Shadow doesn't possess a physical body.

So no matter what, don't try to fight it!

AKKUN, you're a good kitten, so I'm sure you catch my drift.

Just make sure to steer clear of it!

Promise Yacchan you'll stay away from it, AKKUN!

Isn't it wonderful to have a big-busted mother with a few screws loose?

Not another word.

Now moving on, what's this "Hollow Shadow"?

Just as she said, it's a powerful yomu that lacks a physical body.

Rumor has it that the last time it appeared, five A-rank Spirit World Warriors didn't last five minutes.

A-rank Spirit World Warriors...?

What're we going to do if it comes here?

We'll just have to wait for it to pass us by.

Could this be why the yomu were so aggressive yesterday?

That is certainly possible.

Low-level yomu are especially susceptible to the airs emitted by others.

So that's the deal...

Well, now that our entertainment is over,

why don't we take a look at Kuriyama-san's yomu?

Wait! That was all for your entertainment?!

Failed to notice?

Don't make my mother the source of your entertainment!

Where is the yomu you caught?

Oh, right!

Please do your thing!

Let's see...

1 ,000 yen?!

I worked so hard to take it down, and all I get is 1,000 yen?!

Well, that's the name of the game.

This is seriously unpleasant!

The sound of a school girl!

Well, feel free to blow off Akihito.

If you run into trouble, come to me for advice.

You know where our clubroom is, right?

Mitsuki says you're welcome to join, too.

Senpai...

Are you hungry...?

Here is your regular-sized bowl!

This is my reward?

Right. You kinda helped, so you earned it.

Thank you for coming! Right. You kinda helped, so you earned it.

Thank you. May I get some pickled radishes?

Stick with the complimentary pickled ginger.

Okay, fine!

Well, you are treating me with the money earned from your first job here.

I should be honored...

Senpai...

What is it?

This is the last time.

Please don't meddle in my affairs anymore.

You and I are different.

I don't want to go through life the way you do.

Senpai, I'm not allowed to enjoy life with others the way you are.

Why not?

I... killed someone.

I killed someone. I...

I killed her with my own two hands.

As long as people exist, yomu will continue to exist.

As long as people exist, yomu will continue to exist.

As long as we possess the ability to see them, we will continue to smite them.

Don't you think that makes Spirit World Warriors a detestable trade?

Senpai...
