Yashiro sneaks out to the old building with Kou by her side, while the Mokke follows joyously, Hanako levitating with them as Yashiro chose to disturb the unsettling solitude. "Uh...What will I do once I step into the Realm?" Hanako turned his head to look at her.

"Silly assistant! You wanted to find out her past, she's being generous enough to show you!" Hanako laughed as Yashiro sweats, "Just a while ago she was throwing in insults..."

"Hmmm? Believe it or not, she wasn't like that before." Hanako claims as Kou and Yashiro tug on him, demanding more answers as he crosses his arms over one, displaying them a crossed reaction. "I can't reveal that if you're gonna find out in minutes!"

"You're late." Y/n casts a gander at the three as Hanako chuckles and glides over to her, taking her hands in his and intertwining fingers with the ghost as Yashiro gleefully observes the two's relationship. "Come on, don't be so harsh! Just open it up and lead my curious assistant in!"

"You say it as if I could make things simple for you." She sighs and releases go of Hanako before her fox tail entirely vanishes. She delves into her sleeve and pulls out a paper charm, tossing it to the side as it produced a gateway with eye-catching motifs. "Woah!"

Y/n walks over to the door and opens it, then goes inside to wait for Yashiro. "I have trust that you'll look after my assistance," Hanako asks as she nodded. "I am consciously aware of taking her as my own."

"Eh?" Kou bluntly says as Hanako shrieks, "Whaat?! What's that supposed to mean?!" Y/n shields her ears from the shouts as Yashiro rushes in, pulling her hands away. "If we do not return, the seal should be shattered so that I can establish another gateway."

Yashiro marveled when the door closed and she stared up at the prismatic staircase driving up. "It's so big!" She yelled, and Y/n nodded as her voice resounded over the whole realm. "Yes. After all, that is my boundary, the torment of being an apparition."

"You are defined by what others say about your rumor."

'Have you played the Kokkuri-san Game? I heard that Kokkuri will answer any question to ask them!'

'What? Do they really know everything?- Last time I played I asked if I'd pass my exam and they said yes!- But I failed!'

It's not her fault if you didn't put in the effort...

'Huh?! Maybe they don't like you! I got back with my boyfriend when I asked!'

That was simply a joke and some intuition.

'If you don't bid her properly, they'll punish you with all the bad luck in the world!'

Is she viewed as a bad spirit?

"I envy individuals who don't have as much wisdom as Tsuchigomori and me." Y/n states as Yashiro furrowed her lips as she followed her up the staircase and began sympathizing with the spirit, "When I was...a student."

"I was a genius who knew everything."

"Woah!!! You're so smart, Y/n! You got all the top marks in Math!" A student cheered as Y/n's previous self beamed and proceeded to take her position in the scenario. "Nah, it's probably from good luck!"

"No way! You're lying! I feel like you don't try if you have marks like these!" Her shoulders slumped and her face became glum, her bangs covering the side of her face with a little grimace.

'But...I'm telling the truth. I stayed up all seven nights this week only to get these grades...'

Her thoughts echoed as she felt her heart clench before standing up and hurriedly leaving the classroom walking to the lower sections, where she came across Amane's classroom, where he sat alone staring out the window as she approached with a slight smile pasted on her face.
