Kokai: oh!! You woke up.

Ryuji: arigato for helping me. Which family are you from?

Kokai: erm... I'll probably be scolded if I told you.

Ryuji: I see. Where are your family members?

Kokai: none.

Ryuji: you live alone?

Kokai: hai. I'm strong enough dakara. It's fine.

A kid and a mother opens the door and enters " kokai. How's your day today? Oh. A visitor. Or your boyfriend? "

Kokai: like he will be. He's an omnyoji.

" I see. Here are the magazines you asked for. I'm moving soon... I can't come anymore. "

" I'll miss you!! "

Kokai: eh... Arigato... For all these years.

" I hope you find another human to talk with you. "

Kokai:... Who would. It's so deep in the forest.

Ryuji: you're... A yokai.

He stands up and opens the door " let me see your face again the next time and I will kill you yokai. "

Kokai: not all yokais are bad you know.

Ryuji: says a yokai.

He leaves her house and heads back to the city.

" you're back. " the father says.

Ryuji: hai.

" as you know, you've come of age. We arranged a suitable candidate for you. Ryuji. "

Ryuji: I don't need that.

" she's not really a stranger. She's a distant relative of this house. A keikain too. "

Ryuji: you don't hear how blasphemous you sound?

" it's a distant relative. It's not even counted already. Don't sound or be idiotic. She's just my brother's aunt's cousin's aunt's daughter. See how many links I've gone through? She's just with the same surname. "

Ryuji: I don't need one.

" Just meet her. Their family seems very fond of your abilities. "

Ryuji: whatever.
