Long ago, there were spells using a demon to hurt people. But one of them used a truly evil technique- Byouki. Rin: ...hmm... pg 107 Rin: So it seems that the story of that evil power being sealed eighty years ago by the Otora Kitsune is true, but... Even so.... Is it really all the way out here in the mountains?! Rin: ...ah! Here it is... pg 108 Rin: The book made it sound so terrible that I figured there'd be some elaborate setup, but... It's just a jar! Nothing special. But it'll be great if I can get it to possess Hijiri... pg 109 Byouki: WHO ARE YOU? WHY DID YOU UNNSEAL ME? Rin: I'm Rin, of the Otora Kitsune! Hey... How would you like a body to possess? pg 110 Rin: I'll introduce you to the body you'll be taking. Hanako: What?! An amusement park?! Hijiri: Yeah! Papa got me tickets. Hana-chan, want to come with me? Hanako: Yay! Of course I- Gin: (I'M going with Hijiri, HEEEEY~) Hanako: ...c-can't, after all. You'd better take Gin-kun with you for this. Hijiri: Huh? pg 111 Gin: Exactly! We'll go on Sunday. Rin: HMMM, so Hijiri gets to go to the amusement park with Gin, does she... Gin: R...Rin... Rin: Good for you, Gin! Gin: HUH? Rin: Have fun! Gin: ... pg 112 Gin: % What's Rin up to? Hijiri: Heeey, Gin. Can I have the tickets back, pleaaaaase? Gin: NO WAY. (Sunday.) Hijiri: GIN!! Gin: % Well...maybe I'm thinking about it too hard. Box: Sunday... Hijiri: KYAAAAAAAA!! pg 113 Hijiri: Ick, I feel siiick~~~ Gin: Oh, that was fun! Hijiri: % Geez, how did this happen? % With two girls going we were going to go on the quiet % rides... % Like the merry-go-round, or the ferris wheel... pg 114 Gin: Hijiri, thanks for today. Hijiri: Huh? Gin: I've always wanted to come to an amusement park, just once! It's just as fun as I thought it would be! Hijiri: % ....oh, well... % Because he's acting like a kid... Gin: C'mon, let's go ride the Tower Fall! Hijiri: What?! We're riding MORE?! pg 115 Gin: Of cour-ow! Girl: ... Hijiri: A-Are you okay?! Girl: Ow... Girl: MAMAAAAAAAAAA~~~!! Hijiri: Looks like she's lost... Hijiri: ... pg 116 Sign: Lost Children Center Hijiri: Excuse me! This little girl is lost, has her mother come here yet? Woman: Oh... Her mother hasn't come yet, but I'll make an announcement to the park. Hijiri: Please. Um...I'd like to stay with her until her mother comes... Gin: (WHAT?!) Woman: I see...you'd be a big help, then! (I'll call you when she comes~) Gin: There wasn't any reason for you to go that far, was there? Arrow: he still wants to play pg 117 Hijiri: But...I can't just leave her. She must be so lonely without her mother... Gin: ...then I'll wait with you. There's no reason to go off if Hijiri isn't with me. Hijiri: Gin... Gin: (But isn't that girl's outfit weird?) Hijiri: (GIN!!) pg 118 Gin: She's really sleeping- that must mean she feels safe with you. But what's her mother doing? (She's so late!) Hijiri: He...Hey, Gin... Don't you think it's cold in here? I've felt for awhile like it keeps getting colder and colder... (It's probably just that the air conditioning is too high...) pg 119 Gin: It is pretty cold...let's wait outside. Hijiri: Yeah. Both: C-COOOOOLD~~~~~!! Hijiri: What on earth... Snow...? pg 120 Hijiri: N-No way!! It's summer, but snow is falling?! Gin: You're kidding?! Guy: It's a bad omen~! Run for it! Hijiri: What's going on? ?: ...ive...ack... pg 121 ?: Give....back... Give...back.... Hijiri: W-What...? Gin: !! pg 122 Gin: It's a yukionna. Hijiri: Huh... Gin: % Yukionna never leave their mountains, so what is she doing % here? Gin: Quit it, yukionna!! This isn't a place for you!! Hurry back to your mountain!! Yukionna: Give...back... pg 123 Gin: So she doesn't understand just by talking it through... Can't be helped. Gin: KITSUNEBI!! Gin: She froze the Kitsunebi?! pg 124 Gin: Dammit... Hijiri!! You run away!! Hijiri: B-But... Yukionna: Give...back...give... Hijiri: !! C-Could she be... pg 125 Hijiri: Gin, wait! Gin: Why? Hijiri: She must be this girl's mother! Isn't that right? You're looking for her, aren't you? Gin: Hijiri, stop! You'll get frozen!! Hijiri: But I have to give her back! pg 126 Hijiri: She was lonely without her mother! Girl: Mm...m... Mama! Mama!! pg 127 Yukionna: Thank you. pg 128 Hijiri: ...they...disappeared... The rides...they all stopped. Gin: Because everyone was in such a panic. ...but why would a yukionna come all the way out here, and leave her mountain...? Gin: % Something might have happened there. pg 129 Hijiri: I'm sure she wanted to come play at the amusement park! Just her and her daughter, nobody else. Gin: Well, maybe... But you realized about that kid pretty quickly. Even I didn't sense her power. Hijiri: ...that's because I thought that humans and demons aren't so different from each other... They come to amusement parks to have fun. They worry when their children are missing... pg 130 Hijiri: Right? Gin: They can fall in love, too. Hijiri: Wha... pg 131 Gin: Hijiri... Hijiri: L... Let's go home!! Gin: Hey, Hijiri! (We don't need to go home so quickly!!) Hijiri: % No... % My heart's beating so fast... % Because Gin's eyes were so serious... % I... ?: Ojousan. pg 132 ?: Would you like to see your future? Hijiri: So there's a fortune-teller here... Gin: So what? That isn't for real. Hijiri: B-But it could be! I'm going to go get my fortune told as the last thing! Hijiri: % Anyway, I have to calm down...my heart's beating so fast... Hijiri: Please tell me! ?: ... pg 133 Rin: Then look within the crystal. Hijiri: The crystal? Gin: % Is she really for eral...? Gin: % Rin?! pg 134 Gin: % Couldn't be!! Gin: Hijiri! Don't get near that crystal!! Hijiri: Huh? Hijiri: KYAAA!! pg 135 Hijiri: G... GIN!!
