>My name is Hitsuji Ryouko.
>Hitsuji-san.
>Hitsuji-san, do these too.
>Right!
>Leave it to me.

>Single. No hobbies. No free time.
>I've got a lot of ingredients, so I'll make miso soup...

>No lover.

p2
>I'm now back to living by myself.

p3
>Adel-san... She wouldn't tell me the details.
>What's this all of a sudden...?
>Oh?
>You're happy, right?
>You got your wish granted and you get to keep your soul. Consider yourself lucky.

>Hey, wait...

>Eh...
>Eh...!?

p5
>She seems...

>perfectly fine without me!?
>Hey, move. I need to use that.

>Geh... How many cameras did you install?
>...It's fine, right? I'm just waiting and seeing.

>You're totally obsessed with Ryouko-chan!

p6
>Hitsuji-san.

>Endou-san.
>Want to eat lunch together?
>Sure!

>Huh?
>We're not going to the cafeteria?
>The weather's nice, so let's eat outside.

>Is this your roommate's bento?
>...No. I made this one...

p7
>...We stopped living together.

>I guess it would be more accurate to say she ditched me...
>She probably hates me.
>Maybe because I'm worthless...

>If it were Adel-san...
>Like Adel-san...
>Adel-san wouldn't give up on me...

>...So lately, my shoulders have been really stiff.

p8
>Sorry. I'm still full of motivation to do my work.
>That's no good. You look like when you had a cold.

>You don't realise how weak you actually are.
>I don't catch colds!!
>I caught a cold.
>Take care.
>*See chapter 5

>You shouldn't be hung up on "maybes" and "probablys".

>There must be another reason.
>...This person's always thinking about you, right, Hitsuji-san?

p9
>...It's just as Endou-san says.
>I need to hear the truth.

>A few minutes ago.
>Senpai? She hasn't been here.
>She left? Eh~ Maybe she hated you after all. lol
>Waaaah! No, no!

>Adel-san... I'm borrowing your phone...!
>>Grim Reaper
>>I'm counting on you.
>>Kay.

p10
>...Adel? Why are you calling me?
>It's Hitsuji!!
>Geh!

>Hitsuji? ...Ah, Ryouko-chan, right?
>Ow~
>Um...
>Is Adel-san...

>Perfect timing.
>Could you come pick Adel up?
>Eh?

p11
>She's more troublesome than I expected.
>She won't go home herself because of her pride.
>I thought Adel-san hates me...

>Ah, no. It's just cos I...

>Ah.
>...Ryouko.

>Adel-sa-
>My contract with you is over.
>...Don't get involved with me again.

p12
>Eeeh~ Hey, now...

>You're really not honest with yourself!

>I'm sorry, okay?
>I won't do anything to Ryouko-chan anymore.

>You were right.
>That girl shouldn't get involved with a demon like me.
