Ours is at the top of this cliff
Ah, yes, though I don't think I'll be able to go very quickly…
There are stone steps, will you be alright in those shoes?
Kozuka -san, your family's mound is quite far away from the premises, isn't it
It's quite slippery so… Shall we go holding hands?
…That bastard, what does he intend to do with Saki…?
What's with that holding hands business, it's not like he's gotten to second base…
Don't think lightly of Mikuriya
Look, she hasn't noticed the notifications on her phone
If you lay a hand on Saki, you'll pay for it, Mikuriya…
Because of Mikuriya, she's distracted
I'll give Saki-san a call too
I'll send a mail then…
The 'snake mound' owned by the Mikuriya family is at the top of this slope
After Narukami, I'll call her one more time…
THE NUMBER YOU ARE DIALLING IS CURRENTLY IN AN AREA WITH NO COVERAGE…
I really don't understand why you idiots are so reliant on stuff like 'technology'
Crap!! She's outside the coverage area!
That’s right, in the first place this house is so rural, people who depend on handphones are stupid
Call me Ichita, Rinne-chan
We sure get along well, Chikage’s little brother
For the time being, we have no choice but to get yukishiro to follow them from behind...
A—hem, thank the Nonomiya family’s tech~
Yes, it’s like an ancient burial mound…
...Saki-san, have you ever seen photos of my family’s mound?
It's this ancient burial mound. Though it's called a 'snake mound', it's just a stone room in the shape of a long tunnel
It's huge!!
Please enter
‌Is this okay? Sakichan's going inside‌
If Yukishiro enters now it'll be discovered in an instant, we can't go any further than this
What should we do?
…We have no choice but to wait
Does the Kozuka mound have this feel to it too? This atmosphere? The flow of the spirits?
Ah, for the Kozuka mound, once you enter, um… I don't really know how to describe it…
…It's similar to the Kozuka totsugami mound, huh
…I don't think you lack spiritual sense
Though I'm a member of the Kozuka family, I've never seen ghosts or monsters before…
Because of that giant weasel, I don't have the sight
Since that giant weasel is protecting you, spiritual waves are unable to reach you
It's somewhat like the feeling of being in historic ruins surrounded by rock…
I lack spiritual sense, so I don't know about the 'spirits'…
Everyone on both the maternal and paternal side of the family has the 'sight', I'm kind of out of place…
Yes…
Because of that… I understand We held hands earlier, right?
How did you know that!?
I can draw your power out
…Can you really do such a thing?
It can be shed. How about it? Shall I do it?
But to do that, you have to drop the Kozuka's 'demon'…
I was raised being told that my demon (weasel) will never leave me until I die…
…I don't have friends in my house
Saki-san, don't you find it annoying having a weasel that you can't see?
It caused you to be avoided by people in your house, and it was an obstacle to making friends or finding love, right?
In middle school, I found someone I liked, but…
…Ever since then, I've given up on love
His parents came to my house
They lowered their foreheads to the ground and said "Please avoid associating with us'…
I'm the same
Mikuriya -san… too?
…So, how about it? Will you shed the demon?
Because people detest that I'm descended from demons
…No, that's alright
Even if I have spiritual power, I can't do anything …
…I see
…Ah
This is…
Even if I shed my demon, that fact that I'm a member of the Kozuka family won't change
The Mikuriya totsugami mound
What am I seeing?...
There are eggs and sacred treasures
Saki-san, you may not be able to see it, but this mound is protected by a huge snake
The sacred treasures are…
Eggs? Sacred treasures?
The eggs are for the 'snakes'
The blade of Tamahiru…
And the blade of Tamamitsu
Do the sacred treasures have to be gathered together?
Lastly, there is a 'longevity stone'… The longevity stone is kept in another room
Eh, mine?
Yes, they must be gathered
I can't do anything‌!
To gather them, I’d like to borrow your strength
You can
If you're here, another sacred treasure can be created
Kya…
There's something on my legs…!
What do you mean…
Though I think you can't see them
No
They're snakes
Help…
Oh dear
Yes, I don't think she'll wake up anytime soon
We have to prepare as soon as possible‌
I'll carry her downstairs
Wait a moment, please
‌Hayatosan, are you done?
There
