"Keiichi-kun's been feeling down lately.

Maybe he's in a bad mood."

"I wonder.

Maybe he's on his period."

"M-M-Mii-chan, that's gross...!"

"Uhyak hyak hyak hyak!!"

"...What do you think?"

"Don't know."

"..."

"Could be that Kei-chan...

Maybe...?"

"...I don't know."

"That day, Kei-chan was in that car talking to some tubby middle-aged guy, right?"

"Yeah.

No mistake."

"That Ooishi, he probably fed him something fishy..."

"He looked serious.

Keiichi-kun's face was so pale."

"You see...

You might not know this...

But he's actually the messenger of Oyashiro-sama."

"Huh?

What do you mean?"

"Whenever he shows up... someone is demoned away.

No lie..."

"...Oh?

Is that so?"

"...The year before last, when Rika-chan's mom drowned, right?

Right before that, she was visited by Ooishi."

"...Now that you mention it, he was around before Satoshi-kun transferred out, too."

"Transferred~?

Ahahahahahaha, you're so sweet, Rena."

"So this time he's appeared before Keiichi-kun...

So Keiichi-kun is going to be demoned away too?"

"..."

"..."

An empty silence hung in the air.

And then it was suddenly interrupted...

By loud laughter...
