>Responsibility

>Yomi...
>I beg of you.

>Please...
>protect this village in my place.

p2
>Leave it to me,
>Mother.

p3
>Is this village gonna be okay?

>Up until now, we've been protected by Yoriko-sama's barrier...
>but now the youkai are bound to come soon...

>Don't worry. We still have Yomi-sama.

p4
>She's been dancing nonstop in order to maintain the barrier.
>Nonstop?
>Her power is still weak, so one dance isn't enough.

p5
>Yomi-sama.

p6
>Renge-san.

>Your foot is injured.
>Ah.

>I-I'm fine.
>I can handle this...

p7
>I'll carry you to a bed and call a doctor.
>!

>P-Please let me down!
>There's no need to worry.

>Even if the enemy does come, me and my subordinates will protect this place.

p8
>Don't shoulder everything by yourself.

>Trust us.

>Thank you very much...
>There there.

p10
>Renge-san!

>As beautiful as ever today.
>Eh!?
>Ah, you mean the dancing!

>You've become beautiful too, Yomi-sama.
>!

p11
>An Unpleasant Role

>What's this document about?

>It's a list of people who want to enter our village.
>They've all been running away from youkai.

>Hah...
>We don't have enough land to take in any more people.

>Then if we increase the land...

p12
>Out of the question.
>The more we expand the divine protection's range, the more of a burden it'll put on Yomi-sama.

>Will you be able to protect this place should Yomi-sama collapse?

>Must be tought being in such an unpleasant role.
>It's my job.

p13
>Keika! Is it true
>that Yomi-sama is being targeted!?
>Yes. It's just a rumor for now, though.

>Who is it!?
>That's currently being investigated.
>I'll bring their heads.
>Please calm down.

>Just spill it!
>CALM DOWN!

p14
>Hah...

>Keika-san! Please get some proper rest!
>Think what'll happen if you end up collapsing.
>Geez.

>Yomi-sama ordered me to take some time to rest...
>Grr...
>but I'm too worried about her to get any rest at all.

>Keika-san! What are you doing here!?
>I can rest better when I'm moving around.
>???
