*Akuno Honda's log*

She continued to stare at me eerily as I do my work.

Chilling. Preposterous. Insane. Devoid of common sense. Absolutely blood curling. There were many adjectives that could've been used to describe such an inhumane murmur, but the most adept two was undoubtedly I could think of...

Akuno: Disgusting Bitch.

How dare she look at me like that?!!!

Like I'm the scumbag here...

I continue to hear her "whispers" everyday.

Such was the whisper that came out of the creature, so low it should've been impossible to hear it even in an empty room such as this one, with an intonation and distortion that wouldn't let the listener understand the identity of the speaker but that carried an insurmountable power in this abyss devoid of life nonetheless...

I gave you life...and this is how you repay me...?

What a filthy creature you are...

I have never met someone so full of themselves....

So full of pride and envy...

So very vulgar for someone such as her...

She's not even human anymore yet she dares to believe she is one. She is just as guilty as I am...

Her whispers...

"He's Mine..."

The first words to come out of her mouth, or at least where her mouth should be, since her whole body was covered by a gross, pulsating veil of sin and dimness that wouldn't allow the eye to gaze upon what was below, were these, incomprehensible and out of context...

"He's mine. mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine mine. Only mine mine mine mine mine mine mineminemineminemineminemine don't touch. him don't look at him. don't smell him. don't taste him. don't talk to him. don't think of him. don't love him. He's only mine mine mine mine..."

....

How dare you...?

You have no right to take everything away from him...

Who gave you the right to betray me...after everything I've done for you!!!

I own you...

I created you...!

I am your master!!!

You...have no right to decide "his" future...

Maybe if I dismantle you, that will teach you to be quiet.

I gave you a name...and I gave you life...

I can take away from you as well... Let's see what Tsukuyomi-san has to say about it, Hannya...

Hannya:.....

*Hiroshi's Pov*

Bon: What the fuck did I just read?!

Reading this entry was bone-chilling...what the hell was Akuno doing?

Nora: Well...this is disturbing.

Ari: Very disturbing...

Twenty years ago til today. Akuno Honda created Hannya-Sama...it was all here. The evidence in front of us written in what's left of Akuno Honda.

Because as far as I know...the man who wrote this diary is gone now...

But...

Me: I still don't have a clue of who he is...

Kuro: I may have something. If my memory serves correctly. Akuno Honda...was a author well known for his dark fairy tale stories.

Nora: But wasn't he originally a doctor.

Ari: Yes. According to his bio in his diary. He was from Tokyo. Originally, he went to school to be a doctor on the behest of his strict parents, and he even became a surgical intern after graduation.

Kuro: Yes. But he gave up becoming a doctor because he wanted to be an Author instead. Due to this change of career, his parents disowned him.

Well that's rough...

Seriously...It annoys me how most parents nowadays believe they can still control their child's future...even in this era. That's why a bunch of teenagers my age are rebelling more.

Bon: Is there anything else about this man? Like how did he created Hannya?

Good question.

Nora: Well...it seems from his diary that a descendant of a spirit medium. He created Hannya with his spiritual powers and made her into a doll....

Holy shit...

Bon: Wait...run that by me again...how?

Kuro: It's possible...he used an human soul...

But then that would only mean...

Nora: Oh my...it's a possible chance Akuno-san is a murderer...I hope I'm wrong about this...

Ari: Yes...I believe that's how events were carried out...In long terms...The killings were allegedly carried out in a phased manner over a period of several years and hardly anybody suspected any foul play except one whose complaint eventually led to the horrifying exposes. Like the same situation happened with your friend Tomoki, correct?

Me: Yes...

Ari: So in simple terms, the victims were murdered and obviously died untimely deaths. Nothing has so far emerged to show that the spirits of these murdered people took any action to seek justice and nail the perpetrator. Another reason why Akuno hasn't been seen again for almost two decades...

Nora:...It is well known that generally, when an unnatural death takes place, the victim’s spirit makes efforts to ensure that the truth is revealed and does not rest in peace till due punishment is meted out.

Ari: So are you saying each spirit chooses could its own mode of bringing the truth to light.

Nora: Yes...for example, some choose to appear in a relative or friend or someone’s dream or directly before them and narrate the details of what happened to them. Some spirits force the culprit to make an admission of their guilt. But instead of doing that, Hannya-Sama instead killed Akuno-san...

That is a possible conclusion...But we're still missing something...

Me: Anything else...?

Kuro: Nope... Don't seem like it's providing anymore information in this diary...

No...There has to be something else! That man knew what he was doing...from his research...He created Hannya...so maybe there's a way we can seal her away...

Kuro: Wait...

Nora: What is it?

Kuro: Do you guys feel that...

Bon: *Confused* Feel what...?

?!

Wait a minute...

Me: I feel it...We're not the only ones here near this shrine...

Someone or something is watching us...

I felt it behind us...

But I didn't bother to look because I knew...

Ari: Hiroshi-kun?

Me: Guys... Don't move...the Kune Kune is here...
