Koyomi Wind

If words will ruin our relationship,

then we won't need them

That's what I thought, what I feared

But wait, something's not right

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step

So I'll go on with a resolution as firm as stone

If I do my best, I'll be your ideal girl

Gonna try my best, gonna make a deal

Fluffy and fluttering, fluttery and fluffy

I can fly to the moon if you call my name

Fluttery and fluffy, fluffy and fluttering

When you smile, I'll be affected by it

Thank you, God

Even if our fateful encounter was just a prank by fate

I feel blessed by it

But that's no good

Look, it won't work

Our hearts will keep on evolving, more and more

Yep, I don't want it like that

Hey, that's not enough

I just want you to look at me forever and ever

Early August

Th-Thanks for having me over, Koyomi.

Yeah, thanks for coming, Sengoku.

Come on in.

Actually, I wouldn't want to get in your hair, so I'll head home.

Don't bail the very second you arrive.

F-F-Farewell.

Today was fantastic.

Clearly not the case.

I-It was the best day of my life.

Just how much fulfillment can you derive from the entryway of the Araragi household?

What are you, the Dalai Lama?

In the early days of August,

after we had wrapped up the case of the Machiavellian swindler,

Sengoku Nadeko paid my house a visit.

Anyway, come on in.

I've made all the prep for a big ol' party.

We're gonna go all-out today!

Y-Yipee...

Tsukihi was meant to be here as well,

but it seems she had some matters to clean up.

Matters?

What was she cleaning up?

Cleaning up after that conman.

It's just like you said!

It really is!

Everything's ready for a party!

It's magical.

Y-You said Tsukihi was out.

Is Karen also in absentia?

Oh, yeah.

Those two are a packaged deal.

They come as a two-for-one combo.

A-And your parents?

Yeah, my folks are out.

I mean, they're at work. They work hard for the money.

I see.

S-So does that mean that it's just me and you today?

Well, I guess it does mean so.

Anything wrong about a party for two?

Not at all!

Well, let me formally welcome you, Sengoku.

Thanks for the hospitality!

Cheers!

Happy birthday!

I was born in April.

I spoke to Sengoku about everything relating to the conman incident that she needed to know.

So, Koyomi,

I know how it happened in my case,

but I do wonder just how the conman spread all his other rumors.

I mean all the rumors, the charms, and his odd tales.

His method, you mean?

Urban legends, idle rumors on the street, second-hand gossip.

Just how exactly would one go about spreading such disinformation as the source instead of as a link in the chain?

30

How did that conman promulgate those tall tales?

How did everyone first hear about all those rumors?

It wouldn't have been from the man himself, right?

Everyone around me just said

they "caught wind of it."

Wind?

A way to spread rumors.

Or rather, how rumors spread.

I wonder how that conman went about it.

If I had to spread some kind of rumor,

I'd probably go to Tsukihi.

She's super popular among all the middle-school girls.

She's basically our representative.

Getting her in on the rumor would probably be more effective than telling 100 other people.

Being a swindler, I doubt he made direct contact with someone so prolific.

Rather, someone like him would set it up so you heard about it from a friend of a friend.

This may sound counterproductive,

but instead of actively promoting a rumor or making a big deal out of it,

I think the ideal situation would be if it were to spread on its own.

But expecting something to just take off by itself is akin to relying on natural propagation,

which is the same as leaving it to chance.

Now for the epilogue—or rather, the outcome.

August 14th

The power to read the winds.

The power to stir the winds.

I possess neither.

But of course I might be lying.

But if you want my opinion, being able to read the wind wouldn't be so useful.

Because the most important element for a pandemic to spread is a halcyon atmosphere.

Halcyon?

If any one thing is all the rage, no other fad will catch on.

If you want a real-life example,

I couldn't take any action in this town during spring break.

The reason being the talk of vampires took the town by storm.

And in the wake of a storm,

when the winds had stopped blowing and the soil was fertile, I could grow my tales tall.

Impurities in the human spirit breed vulnerabilities for supernatural rumors and canards alike to take root.

And those impurities are born of a person who has nothing to support them.

Araragi, have a think about what kind of people a conman would target with his falsehoods.

I don't want to get into that frame of mind.

Well, wouldn't that be the rich?

They'd target excess wealth.

But that's an honorable man's outlook.

Those who are satiated with their lot are surprisingly hard to deceive.

For those with a luxurious lifestyle also have the luxury of considering their options, after all.

And that is why a conman targets those who are dissatisfied with their circumstances.

A lifestyle which allows no recourse.

And so that's why you targeted middle schoolers with your scheme.

That I did.

A spirit plagued by anxieties is one open to deception.

If tell a lie, they don't have the composed insight to verify its veracity.

You're under the impression that my con was to spread charms that degrade interpersonal relationships,

but the truth is the exact opposite.

Their relationships were already so deteriorated that they jumped at the opportunity my charms presented.

Are you saying it's their fault for being deceived?

Well, when you put the words in my mouth, I don't feel like using them.

Let's blame it on the times.

If you want to debate the chaotic atmosphere that gives rise to trends,

we should rather be discussing the vacuum that forms before the chaos.

Vacuum?

Perhaps I should call it a void.

And so I shall leave you with a piece of advice:

if any incomprehensible trends come into fashion,

doubt the times.

Danger could be lurking on the horizon.

For it could be that the times itself may be being engulfed by a darkness.

Engulfed by a darkness...

Now then, Araragi.

I shared with you a most important, almost invaluable, teaching of my trade.

That is, of course, worthy of compensation.

I know for a fact that you keep a rainy day fund squirreled away in the inner pocket of your jacket.

I kick a stone away to get rid of my worries

I'm downplaying the flutter I feel this April

We were happy children full of curiosity

I was the one who pushed you forward

Let's escape our confines and stop on the way

Let's ride our bikes to far away

carrying our hopes and dreams in the basket

The future we talked about looks nice

The shadows grow longer,

and we are none the wiser
