This is Mirai Kuriyama-san.

This is Mirai Kuriyama-san.

When I told her about our club, she said she wanted to check it out. So I brought her over.

When I told her about our club, she said she wanted to check it out. So I brought her over.

Huh? I did? That's not true!

Huh? I did? That's not true!

You pestered me into coming!

Now, now.

Um, our president isn't here yet, but it's Mitsuki Nase.

You met her the other day, remember?

This is third year student and master of hooky Hiroomi Nase.

We have two more masters of hooky, but, true to their reputation, they aren't here today.

Okay...

So, welcome to the club!

You're being unpleasant.

Please! We're in desperate need of new members!

That doesn't mean I have to...

H-h-h-h-h-how'd you get this?!

H-h-h-h-h-how'd you get this?!

Our senpai and advisor donated all of the books in that bookcase.

As such, we cannot lend them out.

However, Literary Club members may-

I'll join!

That was fast!

You're acting like a maiden in love under the autumn sky!

And just curious, are you interested in gardening?

Uh, kinda...

Mitsuki sure is taking her dear time.

I know! I can't wait.

It's that time already?

This is the Literary Club's quarterly magazine?

Shibahime?

Yep.

The next one is a commemorative issue, so we're making a compilation of our best pieces.

We're currently agonizing over what to include.

Is that right?

I'll admit, the red frames look good on her.

For glasses, anyway.

Hiroomi, you can see the greatness when you try!

As of today, you're a fellow bifocal enthusiast!

And just as you said, she possesses "little sister" characteristics as well.

Doesn't she?

Soft and fluffy hair.

An innocent face!

A bosom that hasn't fully matured.

Thighs that have yet to be tainted!

A petite and delicate frame!

She is truly the ideal little sister!

A-a little sister?

To top it off, she looks good in glasses!

And these aren't superficial glasses that she just picked up.

That perfect nose of hers practically says, "Glasses go here."

You're being unpleasant!

Don't let those two get to you.

They're just PERVERTS!

Mitsuki, where did you go instead of coming straight to our precious club meeting?

Big Bro, you're the last person I want to hear that from.

E-excuse me!

I've decided to join your club.

I look forward to working with you!

Okay.

W-was that wrong of me?

Not really.

It's a pleasure.

Thanks!

Thank you for having me!

Oh, yeah. Kuriyama-san.

Yes?

There's something important you need to do. Are you free after this?

Kuriyama-san, isn't this your first time visiting Hiroomi's house?

Yeah...

Everyone around these parts knows of the Nase family.

They've owned a bunch of the land since forever.

They also govern the Spirit World Warriors in this zone.

Bluntly put, you don't wanna cross their path.

I can hear you.

It's true, isn't it?

Perfect timing!

Aren't you Hiroomi Nase-san and Mitsuki-san?

And you are?

I'm Miroku Fujima from the Society of Spirit World Warriors.

It's nice to meet you!

I was staying here while I observed the Hollow Shadow.

You caught me on my way out.

The Society of Spirit World Warriors...?

I had wanted to bid Izumi-san farewell, but I'm running short on time.

Please give her my regards. Bye!

I've never seen someone from the Society before.

Until now, I had only heard rumors about them...

Such as?

Anyone who tries to reveal what goes on in the Society... gets killed!

Those are urban legends.

In all reality, they mainly issue Spirit World Warrior IDs.

They also single-handedly gather and compile Spirit World Warrior data,

which is kept from the public eye.

Their office is like city hall for Spirit World Warriors.

Is that right?

Well, I shall be keeping this.

No way!

We violated the mandate and went after the Hollow Shadow.

Don't hold it against her.

You should be grateful that she's only confiscating it for a month.

A whole whopping month! How will I pay my rent?

And eat?!

I-I could lend you a little...

Is she in that dire of financial straits?

Yes. She's poor.

And she is always surprisingly ravenous.

You're being unpleasant!

I eat so much because my powers use my blood...

Indeed, they do.

So please be careful.

You belong to a clan from a cursed bloodline.

Izumi-san...?

I have some words for you as well, Akihito-kun.

I cannot believe you intentionally went after the Hollow Shadow.

I was under the impression you had a better understanding of how your body works.

That is all I wanted to say.

Kuriyama-san, I would like to discuss your future, so don't leave just yet.

Goodbye.

Don't let it get to you!

If Izumi-san felt like it, she could have exiled you.

Since she didn't, it means you don't need to worry.

Eh, Hiroomi? Isn't that right?

Well, that isn't the only way to interpret it.

Dude, just play along!

Mitsuki!

Huh?

Aren't you working part time again this year?

Huh? W-well, I still haven't decided...

Could you introduce Kuriyama-san to your boss?

You know the deal. She might starve if you don't!

Sure, I don't mind.

It's an easy job as a shop assistant. The work is simple enough anyone could do it.

Really?

But I get offers for one other job as well.

I always turn it down, but you'll rake in the dough if you accept.

What is it...?

Ask them to explain when we get there.

Okay...

Welcome!

Um, is there anything else?

That's all I had to say.

Y-you're done?

Thank you for waiting.

Uh, what's...?

Yakiimo.

He's a yomu, so normal people can't see him.

Want some?

No, I didn't mean to stare!

Well?

I'll take a bite.

It's sweet!

Did you just laugh?

Nope.

I was merely thinking about how much you've changed.

How so?

Remember how you insisted that you didn't want to interact with others or join any clubs?

Right. That's how I felt, but...

Somewhere along the line, I had decided that I couldn't interact with others...

That I had to go through life alone, but...

I wouldn't be so certain.

It isn't wise to tell yourself that you aren't alone at the drop of a hat.

Akihito is a half-yomu and he nearly killed my brother.

That may be true, but...

Everyone knows precisely how dangerous Akihito can be,

thus the Nase family decided to keep him under close observation in our own jurisdiction.

I've told you before: I'm watching Akihito.

I believe I understand, but...

But even so, it's so much better than what I've known...

I'm sorry.

I said too much.

What's that?

He's possessed by a yomu.

What should we do?

Won't it consume that man if we turn a blind eye?

Um, excuse me!

Uh...

Ex-excuse me!

It's out!

Wait for me!

What are those?

Thank you.

I see you don't hesitate anymore.

Nothing will change if I spend all of my time lost and floundering.

Crap! You defeated it?

I came when I saw the cage.

Nino-san...

I've had my eye on that yomu for quite some time.

You can have it.

My license is currently suspended anyway, so I couldn't do anything with it even if I kept it.

Really? But that yomu is worth at least 50,000 yen.

F-F-F-F-F-fifty-thousand yen?!

I have no luck! All I can do is whine on my blog!

That's why they troll you.

I'd feel bad if I didn't give you something in return, so...

Cheers!

If you want a meal for adults, yakiniku is a must!

Don't hold back! Eat all you like.

Waiter, gimme another beer!

Sure thing!

Mitsuki-senpai, please look!

At your drool?

That's not what I meant! Behold the meat! The meat!

There is so much!

Look! See?

Yeah...

That's all you have to say?!

Dang, this is the life!

Sometimes, it just feels great to be alive, huh?

What is that?

What?

Oh, I guess Kuriyama-san hasn't heard about it yet.

It's a festival that the city throws once a year.

Yeah?

But it's basically limited to couples.

I get the vibes, "Singles, stay away! "

Mitsuki-senpai, have you ever gone?

No. I'm part of the Nase family.

I see...

But doesn't it look pretty?

Thanks for waiting!

You took too long ! Gimme another on the house!

What? Mitsuki-chan, you can't come?

No, I'm sorry.

Mitsuki.

Izumi!

Remember this well: A Spirit World Warrior will be alone as long as she is a Warrior.

Got it!

Ueyama!

Here!

Obayashi!

Here!

Kanbara!

Akihito Kanbara!

This is where you work?!

I couldn't possibly appraise yomu!

If someone comes, just hold on to their stone.

Everyone had to take off because of the Hollow Shadow fiasco,

so there shouldn't be that many people bringing in yomu stones.

Exactly.

Aya-chan!

Where is my obi?

Wasn't it in your dresser's second drawer?

Oh, yeah! I moved it there the other day.

Oh, yeah! I moved it there the other day.

Hello!

Kuriyama-san said that she would like to start working here.

Oh, really? Including the other job?

What other job?

Oh, I haven't brought that one...

Please accept! You're perfect for the job!

How unpleasant!

Okay, now smile!

I can't! Why am I stuck doing this?!

Shouldn't you be grateful?

They're paying you to simply stand there.

Kuriyama-san, we've had our eyes on you for a while.

We were hoping you'd model for us.

M-me?!

Why is that?

Lately, one of our regulars has been willing to pay a fortune for photos of pretty girls in glasses.

We've been looking for someone who'd look good in glasses.

For the record, we can't disclose personal information such as the regular's name.

But his initials are A. K.

Akihito Kanbara...

Just what I'd expect from a Spirit World Warrior.

That's totally unrelated! Anyone could have seen that as plain as day!

Next, pull up your skirt and slant your glasses to one side.

What a seductive pose!

Why...?

Just deal! At least they aren't asking you to do a nude.

However, if you're willing to go that route,

this is the minimum we'd be looking at for your modeling fees.

Gulp!

You said that out loud.

Aya-chan takes the nudes for her personal collection,

so you don't need to worry about them leaking out!

They're something fun to look back on, too.

Here!

What's in here?

The nudes Aya-chan took of me!

Of you...?

Yep!

Yep!

A cat?

See? isn't that a great shot of me?

Ai is able to take on that form.

Any in your human form?

Yep. They're under that.

Hiya!

What do you think?

Hidden...

Hidden?

Melons?!

How unpleasant!

You're all set.

I'll go get my purse!

Pick out a small one!

Okay!

So, is Kanbara-kun holding up all right?

He's skipping school.

He must have caught a cold or some bug.

I hope that is all it is.

Despite how he may look, it really eats at Kanbara-kun.

He always gets fairly depressed after he transforms into a yomu

and loses control of himself.

This is about how he acted after that incident with Hiroomi, remember?

Well, could you handle things until we get back?

Certainly!

Are you sure about this?

Are you sure about this?

I think we could close shop for the day and go together...

Every year, you dig your heels in on this...

I doubt anyone would mind if you went.

Are you going to the festival together?

You're always so flashy!

Ma'am, are you attending the festival?

I nabbed myself a guy!

I'm on my way to hook up with him.

I'm on my way to hook up with him.

I can still catch a guy or two when I put my mind to it.

I can still catch a guy or two when I put my mind to it.

Later!

Well, why don't we head on out?

Yeah!

Do you miss it every year?

Isn't that what Ayaka-san said? That you adamantly refuse to go every year.

Not really. That is none of your concern.

Could you tell me why you won't go?

Why should I?

Well, because...

Akihito isn't any different.

He didn't tell us why he was missing school.

When you get down to it, we're all alone.

I'm going to close the shop.

Senpai, look!

We can have our own festival...

Mitsuki-senpai, look at them all ! isn't this amazing?

Why are you so excited?

Why not? This is a festival!

Aren't they pretty?

Aren't you glad you decided to cave in and come?

You little brat!

Ah, you just called me a brat.

Huh?

Stop it! Why the hell do I have to come dressed up like this?!

Senpai? Stop it! Why the hell do I have to come dressed up like this?!

Kuriyama-san? Mitsuki? Why're you here?

Why? I came to cheer up ye who spend your days eating in a bathroom stall!

I keep telling you, I don't need anyone to-

Senpai, it's because everyone is alone.

Everyone... is all alone.

Lookie, lookie!

Hey, Big Bro.

I want a candy apple.

Izumi-san...?

A fruit-type yomu...

That's inviolable territory that mankind must never sully!

That's inviolable territory that mankind must never sully!

Why the hell are you empty?!

Taking it out on the shampoo won't get you anywhere.
