Arisu is walking with the wooden bucket with iron rims in her hands, she has exceeded her time in her activities and is now fetching water for her bath.
She sees the well and walks calmly towards it, when she arrives, she looks at the water that reflects the light of the moon at its bottom, with light waves that reverberate gradually, she hears the sound of the wind of the leaves and starts to put the bucket with the rope in her handle inside the well, when she feels it full she stares at the bucket and pulls it out. It was heavy, she with an expression of effort on her face finishes pulling him out, placing him on the edge of the well, releasing a deep sigh as she passes her hands on his forehead, removing the hair that blocked her view. As she lifts her face, Arisu freezes, what she has in front of her is terrifying. The creature stares into her eyes, watching him she reads the message, in her right eye he has written:
上級 ➡️ (Top rank) and in your left eye 参 ➡️ (three).

She lost the air in her lungs.

"- Well, you don't have to be so terrified, I'm not that abominable, am I?" Said Akaza with a beautiful smile on his face, showing his sharp fangs.

Terrified, Arisu doesn't respond, she swallows the saliva that since Akaza's appearance fills her throat, seized with fear.

"- Ah well, if it helps, I'm not going to kill or hurt you, I'm already fed, okay?" Assured Akaza, slapping his hands on his strong abdomen, laughing in a gentle, sarcastic tone.

She in response only nodded shakily positively. But inside, she felt haunted. Arisu could only think that she wouldn't stand a chance against that upper moon.

"- Alright, I'll introduce myself, I'm Akaza, it's a pleasure to meet you. What's your name?"

"- A-arisu." She answers hesitantly.


"- Arisu... Isn't it a little late for you to leave? You can find an oni that feeds on human flesh hahaha, sorry I couldn't help myself. Tell me what do you do for a living, Arisu?"


Arisu looked around uneasily, but she knew that trying to run was not the best option. She held back.


"- I... I'm a pharmacist, well almost that." Arisu preferred not to say that she worked for the hunters, but she figured out that Akaza already may has an idea, even so she kept that information to herself."

"- Oh, this means that you make medicine for people, what an interesting thing." Said Akaza, who, while speaking, approached and jumped over the edge of the well, sitting in front of Arisu with one of his hands on his knee, showing himself completely at ease in front of her."


Arisu just nodded slowly and silently.


"- Cmon Arisu... I already told you I won't hurt you, but you still don't want to talk? I'm disappointed. Look... I'll make everything easier, listen: I don't kill women or children. You can even choose a person, and whoever it is, I won't let anyone hurt them. But... I'll only do that if you talk to me. Do we have a deal? Tell me a name and then we'll talk until I'm satisfied.
