On the third night, as I sat in the car, pouring milk into my anpan and keeping an eye on Kataumi Aoi's house, the fortune teller suddenly let out a strange cry.

"Ohhhh, they've come, they've come, they've come!!!! An incredible presence has arrived!!!!"

"C-Could it be the fortune telling?"

"Yes, indeed... Ahh, this time... Hmm. An evil spirit has awakened and it's devouring Aoi. Originally, they could have sealed the evil spirit a bit longer, but due to the typhoon, the shrine was destroyed, causing the seal of the onmyoji to be broken. From the moment the seal is broken until Aoi's death, everything will happen in a single day!"

"That's amazing!! This is so helpful!!"

"Indeed!! Hahaha!!"

So it was an evil spirit after all. If that's the case, then I know what I need to do. I have to go to the shrine and beat down the "Yumekui" creature. According to the weather forecast, the typhoon will arrive the day after tomorrow. If I want to settle things, should I do it today?

"This evil spirit, Yumekui, seems to have been eyeing Aoi for a while."

"I see."

She had been observing the scenery from that suspicious shrine. And perhaps Yumekui, being a pervert who likes the souls of girls, had noticed her.

Even if it's sealed, can she somehow see the outside view... Well, it does have that feeling, but it must be quite troublesome for her. To be targeted by a monster like that.

"So what do we do? Should we do it today...?"

"Should we do it today...."

"No, we should do it tomorrow."

"Why?"

"You're quite exhausted. It would be better to rest today and give it your all tomorrow. Relax and take it easy."

"You're right. If I'm going to give it my all, then tomorrow it is..."

"You should sleep today. I'll keep an eye on everything throughout the night in case of any unexpected events. That way, you won't have to worry about a thing."

"I see... Thank you very much."

◆◆◆

Completely exhausted, I decided to rest and bet everything on tomorrow... As I closed my eyes, I quickly...

Day four. I woke up feeling refreshed.

"You're awake..."

"Thank you. I'm off."

"Very well... I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

She seemed exhausted and began to snore as if a thread had snapped. The current time was 7:30 am. As I got out of the car and started walking, someone tapped my shoulder from behind.

"Good morning."

"Morning. Taking a walk?"

"Well, something like that."

"Hmm, you're not following me today?"

"I just thought it'd be wrong to follow you around three mornings in a row."

"Even one or two days is not good, though."

"Ahaha, you're right."

"Hmm? Is something the matter?"

"No, nothing at all. By the way, the festival is starting soon, isn't it?"

"...It's three days from now, but there's a possibility it might be postponed due to the typhoon, so it could be even later."
