;If you yell so loudly, you’ll fall again,’ said Eishin as he stifled his chuckled .
– I can’t let my guard down .
'I don’t like meditating in places like this,’ said Eishin, suddenly stopping .
'You afraid?’
'Don’t be ridiculous . It’s a problem of thinking . ’
'Thinking?’
'Meditation must be done in the middle of life . Walking all the way to a place like this to meditate isn’t meditation . ’
Eishin had his hands together and eyes half-closed – he looked solemn, as if his arrogance and laziness up until now had all been a lie .
However, admitting that would irritate Gotou .
'Forget about the pretentious talk and hurry up . ’
Gotou walked briskly into the depths of the limestone cavern .
After about five minutes, there was a wide space . One corner appeared to be a room surrounded by boards . That was probably where the crime occurred .
Gotou stood in front of the door to the room .
There were lights there, probably from the investigation team . Gotou flipped the switch . The bright light disoriented him .
Just as his eyes had grown accustomed to the light, he slowly opened the door .
A raw smell pierced his nose .
'That’s an amazing stink . ’
Eishin coughed .
Gotou covered his mouth and nose with his arm and walked inside the room .
Creak .
Every time he took a step, the floor creaked .
Gotou turned the light of his torch towards the ground and suddenly saw a dark red stain . This was probably where Seidou was killed .
Gotou bent over and looked carefully .
The floor looked like they had been scratched with fingernails . This was where he had been trying to run away but was stabbed more .
Not just the floor . Gotou spotted blood sprayed on the walls too .
It was much more brutal than he had imagined .
'This is awful,’ murmured Eishin .
'Agreed . ’
Gotou sighed .
The culprit had repeatedly stabbed somebody trying to get away . Did they enjoy seeing him in pain? Or had they continued to stab because they were so absorbed they couldn’t stop?
Whichever one it was, it gave Gotou a chill just imagining it .
'So what are you going to do now?’ said Eishin, crossing his arms .
Gotou had thought he’d be able to find something out by coming to the scene, but it looked like things weren’t going to be that easy .
However, he couldn’t just wait because there weren’t any leads .
'I’ll go over everything with a fine-tooth comb . ’
Unfortunately, that was the only method he had right now .
Eishin shook his head, looking exasperated .

– I’m losing consciousness .
Yakumo’s head hung because he was unable to keep his neck straight .
His body felt hot . A burning pain ran through his left leg and had near doubled in size .
The ground was moving, as if Yakumo had just been rolling his eyes about . The pit viper’s venom was eating away at his body .
He consciously breathed slowly .
He put his left hand up in front of his eyes . He couldn’t focus . He saw doubles of his fingers .
– This is no good . I have no strength .
His left hand felt as heavy as a way . Unable to keep it up, it fell back to the floor .
He wanted to vomit . It felt like something was stirring up his stomach .
– Am I going to die?
Yakumo lifted his head with the last of his strength .
Standing there was a man . He had on a black suit with long hair that went down his back . He smiled triumphantly .
His eyes were dyed a deep red .
'A pathetic ending…’ the man said expressionlessly .
That might have been true . Without anybody watching, rotting away all alone at the edge of a lake – d
'Says a dead man . ’
Yakumo gritted his teeth and glared at the man with two red eyes .
He was already died . He was just a spirit .
'How about it? Won’t you come with me?’
The man held a hand out towards Yakumo .
– Where to?
Yakumo didn’t know the destination, but if he took that hand, he felt like he would be released from his suffering .
'I’m waiting . ’
The man disappeared into the darkness with a faint smile on his face .
– Where are you waiting?
Before Yakumo had that answer, he saw the back of a woman standing by the lake .
He thought it was the spirit of the girl from earlier, but he was wrong .
When she turned around, he saw it was Haruka .
'You…’
Yakumo’s expression relaxed .
Haruka didn’t say anything . Her brows were furrowed, like she was troubled, as she looked at Yakumo .
'Don’t look like that… Is it trouble again?’
Haruka shook her head . There was a trace of tears in her eyes .
Yakumo hated seeing Haruka cry .
At first, he had thought it was because he was irritated, but then he noticed that wasn’t the case .
'Smile for me…’
When he saw Haruka’s smile, he felt the dregs in his heart wash away .
It made him feel idiotic for worrying . He felt like it said it was all right for him to be here – all right for him to live .
I should have died when my mother tried to kill me – he had always thought that .
He wasn’t needed by anyway .
He hadn’t ever thought that somebody would smile when they saw his red left eye .
Though Yakumo coldly thrust her away, in the depths of his heart, he was thankful that he had been able to see that smile again .
He should have talked to her properly .
The truth was there were other things he wanted to talk to her about . He wanted her to know him . And he wanted to know her .
– My eyes are blurry .
Haruka melted into the darkness .
– Don’t disappear .
With all his might, Yakumo reached out, but his hand didn’t reach her .
Just as Yakumo was stricken by his powerlessness, a man appeared .
A man with a smile like Maitreya . It was Isshin .
– Uncle .
Isshin made no reply . He just smiled .
– That’s right . Uncle always smiled for me too .
No matter how hateful the things Yakumo said to him, Isshin had smiled and accepted them all .
– Why did you go?
What Uncle said was always correct, but I didn’t try to accept them honestly .
But still, Uncle stayed with me .
He always welcomed me with a smile .
– Thank you .
I could never say the words I wanted to tell him most, even at the end .
I see . Uncle’s here to take me with him .
I have a lot I want to talk to him about .
I’ll be there soon, so listen to what I have to say .
I –

Yakumo’s hazy consciousness fell into a deep darkness .
