To say that ‘I’ disappeared… I haven’t changed, chikage
……
Narukami-kun wouldn't ‘use’ people, nor refuse others’ help…
…… THE ORIGINAL PERSONALITY IS LIKE THIS
CHIKAGE JUST DOESN’T KNOW THE ORIGINAL
TO SAY THAT KIND OF THING…
BY THAT, YOU MEAN…
NOW THAT I’VE GOTTEN TASUKU BACK, I WON’T LET YOU INTERFERE
THIS ONE IS SURELY BETTER AS A TOTSUGAMIMORI HE KNOWS A LOT AND CAN USE LOTS OF SPELLS
THAT’S TRUE BUT
NARUKAMIKUN NEVER CALLED ME IN THAT WAY… ‘CHIKAGE’ …
THE MEMORIES OF THE OTHER ME THAT CHIKAGE KNOWS, DON’T IT’S NOT WORRY LIKE SO MUCH, THEY’VE CHIKAGE DISAPPEARED
SORRY, WOULD IT BE BETTER IF I SWITCHED TO ‘NONOMIYA’ …?
… HM?
TEACHER?
THIS ATMOSP HERE …
NO, THAT’S NOT IT…
WHAT’S COMING OUT?
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING IS COMING OUT OF THE HOLE
I DON’T KNOW
EH
It’s too bright What… that’s…
I’ve never seen it before
A golden buddha statue?
Is it… an ally…? … are you not afraid of it?
It feels dangerous
woah
Uh…
Crap, it doesn’t speak Japanese—
Rinne, do you know what that is!? I don’t know
!!
Rather than a god, it looks like a man serving god
My father might know‌
This is bad
Narukamikun
Such a murderous intent
What should we do!?
I will‌
Return it!
Chikage, stretch the barrier over a wider area Got it
motowakana hoko
Suruhakihoko!
nohorimasutoyo hirumekam itamahosu
It’s been returned
Narukami… do you think that was something that came out just by accident?
… to me, it looked like that thing was aiming for you…
I have a feeling I’ve seen that before…
… speaking of which
Yeah— ...
… that’s it
You’ve seen it… personally?
I was attacked by it … yeah
Attacked?
Grandma said that was a ‘rasetsu’ * A rasetsu, huh…
*also called a rakshasa
When I was a kid… I think it was just before my memories were sealed
That’s right… there were some texts related to this at home…
There were, in the past There was another storeroom, full of texts
In hindu mythology, it’s a demon that leads people astray and devours them
Texts? But there’s nothing in the narukami house…
Tools and sealed items were placed there and it was out of bounds but Was this before you entered elementary school? You sure were well read
I was putting a book away and ended up reading in there
Well of course, he’s my genius
Classic tasuku!
… so, what happened to this text?
What is it?
… um. It’s something we should be wary of
It’s about ‘that thing’ that no one wants to talk about
Ah, that’s right. There’s something I remember about it
What…
There will soon be a hole that connects to that world
Do… don’t say that name so openly!
Ah, that’s right
… hm, I wonder if it’s okay to talk about it...
The way to defeat it?
What’s ‘that thing’? Are you talking about the ‘mikaga mi’? yes
… so, narukamikun, what do you know about ‘that thing’?
When grandma talked about it, terrible things happened The books were sold or donated, and the warehouse itself was dismantled
… what terrible things happened?
The rasetsu from earlier
… eh…? Are you serious?
Of course
My memory was sealed by grandma and someone, and I forgot all about it
… it’s like just now
Naruka mi-kun
… this is bad…
They attacked in huge numbers
Eh…
Crap…
It’s the same as that time…!!
