“Chapter 148: Shrine Maiden of the Moon”
Following Akane, we reached a small village at the top of the stairs.
About four or five small wooden houses, a well in the middle, and a bonfire being the only prominent light in the blizzard.
So, this is where Akane was born.
– This place is… kind of warm.
(Takaya)
– Quite the contrary.
It feels like the peak of winter all year round.
– I wasn’t talking about the weather.
A voice coming from the direction of one of the houses interrupted our conversation.
– UWAAAH! Mom! Sis hit me!
– I didn’t! Tobi was trying to pull a prank on me! Dad, did you see it!
The pitter-patter of the kids running was the only ambient sound around us.
– You were saying (Akane)
– Well, I’m sure that’s an exception.
(Takaya)
– I don’t want to live here anymore! She gets away with everything! (Tobi)
– What are you talking about You’re just gonna go cry on Akane’s lap again anyways.
– I will! Akane-sama is a much better sister than you!
A little boy with a shaved head ran out of his house.
He looks like a perfectly normal and mischievous kid, but he must be an Oni descendant just like Akane.
– Ah, for crying out loud.
Come back here! You’ll bother the chief!
– Shut up! I’m not coming back home this time!
– Tobi, did you have another fight with Michihi You promised me you wouldn’t prank her again.
(Akane)
– Ugh, Akane…
Tobi’s expression turned from angry to remorseful.
– Anyways! Akane, are you allowed to be out by yourself Where are Souji and Kihachirou
– They’re back already.
And so should you.
Come on, apologize to Michihi.
As Tobi hung his head, he noticed the two strangers behind Akane.
– Hmmm, who are you
– Uhh, those are… some friends.
– We are Akane’s family.
We used to live together with Akane.
(Mike)
– Y-You lived t-together!
Oh no.
Something bad is coming.
I can feel it.
– Uhh… Tobi-ku- (Takaya)
– AKANE HAS A BOYFRIEND! SHE BROUGHT HER BOYFRIEND AND CHILD TO THE VILLAGE!!!!!
My experience with this village has been questionable so far.
