“Why did you show up now? If you were planning on saving me, shouldn’t you have shown up earlier?”

“I was waiting for you to be alone. That boy is truly dangerous!”

“That boy...you mean Takatou?”

“Correct. If I were to carelessly appear before him, he could erase me in an instant. So I would be very grateful if you could warn him of my existence in advance tomorrow.”

“That’s fine, but you’re a ghost, right? How could his power even hurt you?” Yogiri’s abilities were certainly impressive, but Tomochika wasn’t so sure it would work against ghosts.

“Sorry, but if he’s not attacking me, I can’t do much about it. I can’t really kill something when I’m not sure it’s even real.”

“Oh! What’s that?”

“I can kill you wherever you are. If you’re suffering too much, I can put you out of your misery.”

“That’s Mokomoko, right?”

“I’m surprised you guessed.”

“I could kind of tell by the way she spoke. I don’t know what’s going on here, but if she’s going to attack us, I’ll have to kill her.”

Tomochika looked at Romiko, who suddenly appeared to be frozen in place. Looking closely, Tomochika saw that she was shaking as if absolutely terrified.
