Hijiri: Who are you? ?: Our promise... Hijiri: Promise? ?: Don't forget... Hijiri: Wait, what "promise"... Wait!! pg 3 Hijiri: WAIT!! Wai- That dream again... Hijiri: % I can never remember it clearly... % Ever since a long time ago, I made some important % promise with someone... % But right at that part, I always wake up... % So today... Hijiri: (Snore?) pg 4 Hijiri: % ...should be a normal morning like any others... pg 5 Hijiri: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Papa: What's wrong, Hijiri!! Hijiri: Papa! Some strange guy is in my bed~~~~! Papa: WHAT?! What are you doing to my precious daughter?! pg 6 Papa: ....nobody's there, Hijiri. Hijiri: Huh! No way! I know there was... Papa: Maybe it was just the usual GHOST again? Hijiri: N-no! I don't see ghosts, I'm a normal girl!! Papa: R... Right! You're my daughter, isn't it obvious you're a normal girl!! Hijiri: Papa! Papa: But... pg 7 Papa: Would a normal girl have this messy a room? (How panicked were you?) Hijiri: % Ah...maybe this day'll turn out decent... % I wonder if that really was a ghost... % Ever since I was little, I've had the ability to see % strange things... % Stuff that always gives me bad thoughts. % Because, if I always cling to these things... % Surely, when I become an old woman, I won't have any friends % besides ghosts at all... Hijiri-oldlady: (Nice weather, isn't it?) pg 8 Hijiri: % I can't stand that~~~~ ?: Hijiri. Hijiri: Hm? Hijiri: Huh, I was hearing things... (Yup...) ?: Up here, Hijiri. pg 9 Hijiri: % The guy in my bed before...!! pg 10 Hijiri: % He called me "Hijiri"... % How does he know my name...? Hijiri: My... Ahahaha! Hijiri: % My imagination! % Imagination! % There is no one there, I see no one there! pg 11 Hijiri: % Geez~~~! % Why do I have to see weird things? ?: $ Hijiri-chan's weird! $ She says there's things where there's nothing there. ?: $ It makes me sick! pg 12 Hijiri: % I just remembered something bad... Hijiri: I'm a normal girl!! So I don't see anything! Lady: (What a weird girl...) Hijiri: % Whenever I see something, I pretend not to notice... % Because, I don't want anyone to know about this... % Yeah, especially senpai... Toono: Okumura-san! pg 13 Toono: Morning! Hijiri: T-Toono-senpai! G-good morning!! Toono: You're coming to club today? Hijiri: Of course. Hijiri: % Getting to see senpai in the morning, lucky----! Toono: The tea club isn't very popular, so I really want to thank you for joining. Hijiri: No way... Hijiri: % But I joined since senpai was in it! Toono: Hm? pg 14 Toono: Isn't it strange they just moved the shoe lockers? They were only there for two years... (I don't understand why they'd move them...) Hijiri: I can understand, after all that willow tree over there gives off a really weird feeling... Toono: "Weird"? Hijiri: Huh?! Ah, um, no, I meant... Sorta reminds me of Kinoshita-sensei! I don't like that teacher... Toono: Oh, the art one... Hijiri: % That was close... pg 15 Hijiri: % I guess having something like spiritual power isn't that % bad, but I still don't want to tell senpai about it... Hijiri: Morning! Hanako: Ugh, morning, Hijiri. Hijiri: Hana-chan, what's wrong? You look really sick! Hanako: Yeah, when I was going to school, my body felt so heavy all of a sudden... Hijiri: Wha? Hijiri: % Now that I think of it, even the air around Hana-chan is % heavy... Hanako: I'm going to the nurse after all... pg 16 Hijiri: W-wait! I'll come with you! Hijiri: % Wh-what? % This feeling... Hanako: Huh? I feel lighter somehow...and not sick anymore... pg 17 Hijiri: Really? Hanako: Yeah, I feel GREAT! Hijiri: % That weird air disappeared too... Hanako: (I'll do my best today!) Hijiri: % But...what was that feeling... Hijiri: Nuahahaha! Imagination! Imagination! Imagination! Hijiri: % ...BUT... % I somehow feel like my head hurts...my body's so heavy... % Ooh... pg 18 Sensei: Okumura. Hijiri: % My imagination, imagination, imagination... Sensei: OKUMURA!! Hijiri: Y-Yes! Sensei: So you heard me. Tell what x equals for problem two. Hijiri: ... Sensei: What's wrong? pg 19 Hijiri: ...hmph. This is so idiotic. Sensei: What? Hijiri: What x equals, how much is y...it won't matter in our future life! This is a complete waste of time. Sensei, shouldn't you use the time to grow some hair instead? Sensei: WHA! Hijiri: U-um...I... (Did I say something now?) Girl: Idiot!! pg 20 Hanako: Ahahaha! Wow, Hijiri, you were awesome!! Hijiri: Don't laugh! I don't even know why I said that myself. Hanako: But it made ME feel great! Hijiri: Hana-chan... Hanako: OH! Tomoko, your lunch is so cute! Tomoko: Really? I made it myself. Hanako: Wow! (How cool!) Right, Hijiri? Hijiri: Hmph. How's it cute? Tomoko: Wha... pg 21 Hijiri: Bringing such an embarrassing lunch... You've got to think more about calories, what'll you do when you get fat? Hanako: Hijiri?! Hijiri: % I...just now... Hanako: What are you saying, Hijiri!! Tomoko: (Waah!) Hijiri-chan, you're mean! Hijiri: % But...why? % Why am I saying these things I don't have my heart in? pg 22 Hijiri: Ugh, I feel awful...I'll go home early today. Toono: Okumura-san! Hijiri: T-Toono-senpai! Toono: Going to club now? Hijiri: Y-yes, of course- pg 23 Hijiri: ...I'm not going. Tea club, you've got to be kidding, there's no way I'd go to something so silly! Hijiri: % Just now, again...! Toono: It's normal you feel that way...I should have guessed. (Hahaha...) Hijiri: I...I... Hijiri: % Why... pg 24 Hijiri: I'm sorry! Toono: Okumura-san... Hijiri: % Why am I saying things to hurt people? % I don't want to say these things! Hijiri: (I don't get it!) Hijiri: Kya! Oh, I'm sorr- pg 25 Hijiri: !! Hijiri: % The...ghost from this morning... % T-this is a mirage! This is my imagination, imagination, % imagination! Hijiri: (I see noth~~~ing!) Guy: Hijiri... You're...possessed by the Ama no Jaku. (ed: "Sky Evil"..) Hijiri: Huh? pg 26 Hijiri: % What...is he saying? % Could it be...the reason all this weird stuff has been % happening is because he...? Guy: Hey! Are you listening?!

Hijiri: $ N...no! Save me! $ Someone save me!! Guy: $ ...do you really want help that badly? $ I can help you, but in return, you have to become my bride.

Hijiri: Ama no Jaku...? pg 38 Guy: Yup, this evil phantom. When she possesses people, she makes them say the opposite of what's in their heart, then takes off with it... Geez! If you'd just listened to me faster, you wouldn't have had her after you. Hijiri: You...are you... The fox from before? Guy: So you finally remembered, Hijiri. pg 39 Guy: I'm Gin, of the Otora Kitsune. I've come back to have you make good on your promise and become my bride. --------------- * "Kokkuri-san" is a fox spirit, according to Emi-chan from the Ribon ML. Doumo~ ^^
