SHOTO BUNKAMURA STREET OUTSIDE THE CURTAIN

No, Ms. Kugisaki.

Mr. Nanami said so too.

And the reason I didn't tell you about Miss Ieiri was...

To prevent me from taking such reckless actions, right?

That's also why they came so late.

Even so...

I can't leave while they are still fighting.

Wait!

Ms. Kugisaki!

Maybe I should have asked Dagon to leave more humans.

Never mind, it's enough.

Damn it.

Are you okay?

Damn.

Not bad.

As she avoided my hands,

she probably got the report from 7:3 Hairstyle Sorcerer.

You are so cold.

But I'm a clone.

I can change my own shape,

but I can't control transfigured humans

or interfere with others' souls.

She actually helped me greatly by wearing down her own spirit.

Didn't I tell you? This won't work on me.

You know it, right?

Sometimes, even if you know it, you still have to do it.

STUPID

Take this.

Hairpin.

She jumped down.

What is she doing?

Another one.

Hairpin.

The nails on the ground...

I've been thinking

ever since I heard about your technique.

This should work on you.

Resonance!

Kugisaki...

No way!

My opponent

turns out to be not just Yuji Itadori.

Strange.

Why do I feel my Cursed Energy has erupted not far away?

And your Cursed Energy isn't strong enough.

You could've touched me forcibly just now.

Hey, you.

A clone can't use any techniques.

You are right.

The impact of the technique lingers.

I can't move freely yet.

Kugisaki.

Thank you.

I couldn't save anyone,

and everyone's effort was wasted.

Even so...

Thankfully, you made me realize I'm not alone.

So...

Right here.

I want to...

kill you!

Since "Resonance" can harm him,

he won't launch continuous attacks as he did just now.

The real show is about to begin.

No.

I will leave!

What?

Stop!

Although I could ignore him and head straight to the fifth floor underground,

if I let him be, there'll be more trouble.

Going down?

Good, I'll exorcise him first,

then head directly to the fifth floor underground.

He split up.

Which one?

One of the clones

must contain the critical part of the soul.

He took the bait.

Damn, I was tricked by the Cursed Energy.

There are two Mahitos?

Did he create clones and act separately?

Now he wants to unite to heal himself?

What...

Itadori?

Run, Kugisaki!

Nice shot.

Don't get in the way!

Kugisaki!

So...

I only touched 7:3 Hairstyle Sorcerer once and couldn't completely get rid of him.

What about her?

YEAR 2009

Heck, take this!

Nobara, that won't do.

You need to stop your opponents from returning to the field.

At that time...

Come on.

I thought everyone in the village was mad,

and I was the only normal person.

You have to use the school bag until sixth grade.

Are you sure you want this one?

Although Mother tried to persuade me,

I still chose the water-blue school bag.

When I was about to start elementary school,

our whole family moved to this village.

My parents were concerned about the inconvenience of rural life,

but I just didn't want to be separated from my friends.

There were only 19 students in the entire school,

not 19 ones in a class.

Everyone carried a red or black school bag.

I also liked the red or black one,

but it seemed everyone hated the water-blue one.

CLEANING DUTY LIST

Thank you.

Fumi.

Give me your school bag, let's swap.

Swap with me.

Watch this!

Number one in Japan!

-Hey you, Kugisaki! -Oh no.

Kugisaki, it's you again?

So noisy, old man, don't come here!

She returned my school bag to me on the same day.

I hate carrying a school bag.

Since that day, Nobara has often stayed in my house

to play video games with my father.

Your gliding skill has improved.

Nobara didn't like the people in the village.

Because the village is too small,

being strangers is even harder than being friends.

At that time, I thought it was great.

A few years later,

when an old lady nearby brought me a bowl of red bean rice,

I understood what Nobara said. It does make people uncomfortable.

Fumi.

I found a secret base.

Nobara would say things that children don't usually say.

But sometimes she said something like this too.

From today on, I'm going to live there.

Looking back now, she must have learned it from someone.

Her mother, for example.

Here.

The secret base Nobara talked about was actually someone else's house.

You really came.

Come in, it's cold outside.

The girl's name is Saori.

She moved to this village later than I did.

We would always drop by unexpectedly.

But she always welcomed us graciously, never showing any signs of annoyance.

Come to think of it, Saori always stayed at home.

Ever since we met Saori, Nobara changed.

Yes, that's right.

Your talk like Matsuko.

Fumi, let me practice braiding pigtails.

Again?

Her tone of speech became softer.

How should I put it?

It's as if she has become more elegant.

Though we were both outsiders,

I felt so much inferior to Saori in every aspect.

After a while, things at Saori's home started to be off.

GET LOST! JUST DISAPPEAR!

There was trash, graffiti, and deliberately accumulated snow.

That made the grand house look frightening.

And not long after that,

Saori moved away.

Nobara and I went to say goodbye to her.

I can no longer remember what was said or how the weather was.

All I remember is

Nobara's face covered in tears.

I didn't know she could cry.

Perhaps the shock of that is why I can't remember anything else.

This June,

Nobara decided to go to Tokyo for high school.

It seemed that she chose to leave at this awkward time

because of a fight with her grandma.

I'm leaving. I will never return here.

Fumi, you should also leave this village.

Right.

You aren't crying when you're leaving me.

Such a terrible idea flashed through my mind.

It left me speechless.

After that day, we never mentioned Saori again.

Fumi.

The next time we meet, it'll be the three of us.

Yeah.

Saori, do you want to take a break?

No, I need to finish the proofreading today.

No, I think it's yesterday.

It's still today before sunrise.

I have a pimple.

Something is wrong in Shibuya. Is it a terrorist attack?

Ma'am, do you plan to get married?

Why do you ask?

I just think it shouldn't have been like this.

I moved to a super rural place when I was in the eighth grade.

Parents' job transfer?

No, because my mom is a crazy woman

obsessed with organic food and spiritual enlightenment.

I see.

I met two girls there who were seven years younger than me.

The girl named Nobara was very clingy towards me.

Because I'm an only child,

I thought she was so cute.

So I acted like a big sister, hoping she would look up to me.

I would serve them black tea.

They were only in the first grade then.

That's cute.

I didn't exchange contact information with her

because I was afraid we would gradually drift apart.

She even cried when I left the village.

But...

If she sees how ordinary I am now, she'll probably be very disappointed.

I wonder how Nobara is doing.

What is she doing now and where is she?

Everyone in the village was mad.

But that wasn't really the case.

It's just that those with issues were particularly loud.

It made me think that everyone but me

would mindlessly trample upon others' lives.

But that's not necessarily true.

Sorry, Fumi.

I couldn't keep our promise.

Itadori, tell everyone this for me.

"I've had a pretty good life."

Kugisaki.

The first time I got off at Tokyo Station,

I was put off by the atmosphere where I was forced to stand behind a truck.

Now I don't mind at all.
