Jii-chan asks. Kiyomi-san.
My death is my compensation
What do you mean?
If I die, then the only shrine maiden who has this fearsome power will be gone from this world. There won’t be anyone like me that will bother you again
Kiyomi-san speaks gently.
As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t teach Tsukiko-san, Yomiko-san, and Luna-san the correct training to become a shrine maiden. Therefore, they’ll never be able to carry the Miko power of the Takakura shrine. I taught them lies No, that’s.
Kiyomi-san, she doesn’t know about Tsukiko’s growth from yesterday.
Tsukiko and the girls start to awaken their power.
My daughter stopped her training, and so she’ll never become a shrine maiden. And my husband who has deciphered the ancient documents in the Takakura shrine is no longer in this world
That’s right,
She mentioned that she killed her husband.
I have incinerated all of my husband’s handwritten data, and all of the ancient documents in the shrine during the past few days
Oh.
Oh, so the reason why Kiyomi-san replaced Tsukiko and entered the Takakura shrine,
She wants to dispose of all the documents remaining in the shrine.
And if I die, there won’t be anyone who can obtain the power of Takakura shrine maidens in this world. This fearsome power will be gone forever. Therefore, Kouzuki-sama!
Kiyomi-san appeals to Jii-chan.
Please take care of the girls after I take out my life
Jii-chan.
Is keeping them alive sufficient?
He asks in a calm voice.
I may turn your daughter to a prostitute
Kiyomi-san.
As long as they are alive, that is good enough
Are you sure?
I believe that the fate of becoming a prostitute is much better than becoming a shrine maiden
Do you find the idea of the Takakura shrine maiden that unbearable?
Yes. It’s hell to live as a shrine maiden
However, you’re not a shrine maiden, are you? It was your late sister who became the shrine maiden.
that’s because I read my sister’s heart
Kiyomi-san said.
The children must never inherit this. The shrine maidens have to end with me
Then, must you die no matter what?
Jii-chan said.
Yes. There’s no path left for me but death
I see Kiyomi-san’s eyes looking like it’s possessed by something.
I see, then bring that to her
Jii-chan orders and the guard wearing a helmet brings in a wagon.
The wagon has a wine bottle with no label and a glass.
Do you not mind the Socrates method?
Yes, I killed my husband with this method as well
The guard pours the wine to the glass.
Do you have any last will you want to say?
Jii-chan said. Kiyomi-san.
She looks up at Tsukiko and the girls in the VIP room.
Tsukiko-san, Yomiko-san, Luna-san. I’m sorry. I was a bad aunt. I apologize for your mother and father. Please forget about becoming a shrine maiden. Please get along with my Koyomi. Please. Also, please tell her. I love her. Mama loves her from the bottom of her heart Then, Kiyomi-san takes the glass.
This is a poisoned drink.
Definitely.
Is that okay?
Just like that?
Am I just going to watch someone die here?
Is this really okay?
Yoshinobu-kun, there’s no other way
Margo-san tells me
Nei and Michi hug me from both sides.
We cannot do anything about this conclusion
I look at the monitor.
Kiyomi-san raises the poisoned wine glass.
Well then, excuse me, everyone. Farewell!
She drinks it all in one gulp.
Then.
Ugugugugu!
The beauty in Japanese clothes collapses on the floor, groaning.
This will end without her suffering as the poison acts immediately
Margo-san’s right.
Kiyomi-san turns quiet right away.
She looks like she’s at peace.
Autopsy
Shou-neechan orders.
The guards were wearing helmet checks Kiyomi-san’s pulse.
No pulse. Heart stopped beating. Breathing stopped. She’s dead
I’ve confirmed it as well
She’s dead, without a doubt
Each of the members conducted their investigations and reported.
Bring in the stretcher
Men carrying stretcher comes from the south side.
The guards bring in Kiyomi-san’s body to the stretcher.
Then, she’s covered with a white cloth.
Michi-chan, Edie? What do you think?
Shou-neechan asks Michi and Edie.
I can’t sense her Qi
She’s dead for sure
The two replied.
Thanks
Shou-neechan sighed.
Then.
Kakka, it’s all done
She tells Jii-chan.
Good work, everyone. Those watching in the monitors can look up now. She’s no longer letting out her strange power
It’s okay now, Yo-chan
Nei said.
I looked up from the small monitor and above.
Oh.
The shutter in Jii-chan’s VIP room is rising.
Jii-chan’s showing a relieved face.
Tsukiko and the two are crying.
The three of them are hugging each other.
That was an insentient yet effeminate woman
Jii-chan evaluates the late Kiyomi-san.
She’s looking to reverse from the conclusion to reason. And she desperately thinks that the real cause was the reason she made post-event
What does that mean?
We have doubted that she might’ve controlled her mind. Just like how she controlled Oodori-kun and Satake-kun. However
Jii-chan’s eyes look at Kiyomi-san on the stretcher.
In the end, she didn’t notice that she was also under someone’s control
Kiyomi-san?
You’re saying that someone was controlling Kiyomi-san?
But, if we look at the people who have the Yomi Miko power,
Apart from Kiyomi-san, it’s Tsukiko and the girls.
The Miko power’s effect continues even if the user dies. She was the proof of that
Does it persist after death?
Tsukiko and the girls are still alive.
I can see them crying right now.
Then that means.
Takakura Kiyomi was under control of the sister she had killed
It’s Tsukiko’s mother?
The late shrine maiden was having psychological problems and living as the shrine maiden has gnawed her heart. She wished to die together with her husband as soon as possible
Those were the thoughts of Tsukiko’s late mother, the former shrine maiden.
Takakura Kiyomi has received the wave of her sister’s dark emotions and has assimilated with it. Then, she has fulfilled the revenge against the Kansai Yakuza that was swirling in her sister’s heart
The thoughts of the elder sister took over.
Takakura Kiyomi thinks that she is a much stronger shrine maiden than her sister. She believed that her husband decoded the ancient documents, and that made her stronger. However
Jii-chan said.
There’s no proof that the younger sister was stronger. Shrine maidens are shrine maidens. Maybe, the elder sister became the shrine maiden because she had enough power in her
One can’t become a shrine maiden unless they have enough power.
Then, as they’re recognized as the shrine maiden, their power should grow.
In the first place, power isn’t something that can be assessed that easily. An F1 Racing car is powerful in terms of horsepower and speed. However, only one person can enter the race car. It can’t continue running for several days without failing. On the other hand, a commercial truck isn’t fast, but it can carry a lot. It also has the stamina to continue running for days without maintenance. The superiority of power changes according to the circumstances Then that means.
Takakura Kiyomi believes that she carries stronger power than her sister when her sister starts breaking down from illness. She didn’t notice that her sister was controlling her because of that wrong impression Jii-chan’s voice echoes.
The thought that her sister has become ill and pessimistic is what made it possible to control Takakura Kiyomi. The despair from becoming a Takakura shrine maiden, the idea of wanting to die together with her husband, all of her sister’s dark emotions have become hers That’s right, Kiyomi-san’s last lines were,
