Misaki knew nothing about the new situation, and she tried to talk with Michika about her connections with the yakuza.
She was ignored, she didn't know why until Naomi told her.
Misaki: So that's it...
Naomi: What do you mean?
Misaki: Michika has connections with local yakuza, I don't know what the contents of the suitcases were, but probably Michika is smuggling something illegal.
Naomi: W-what?
Misaki: I saw something.
Naomi: It seems to me that it would be better if you stay quiet.
Misaki: Yeah..
Naomi approached Tohru Ogata after class.
I think I can talk to you now...
Naomi: I have a question...
You were the one who wrote to me as Shion Urushibara?
Tohru was meditative and seemed to pay no attention to Naomi
Naomi started to get irritated
Naomi: H-hey! I'm talking to you!
We are both non-existent so we actually can talk with each other right?
Misaki, seeing this situation, decided to help Naomi, knowing that she, Naomi and Tohru were being ignored by the rest of the class, she took the book and approached Ogata.
Tohru was avoiding eye contact with the Sakakibara sisters so he didn't notice Misaki taking a swing with the book at him.
Misaki hit Tohru on the head with all her strength with the book.
Tohru fell to the floor unconscious.
Naomi: Misaki! What the hell have you done?
Misaki: I just encouraged him to talk.
When he wakes up he will be more chatty.
After a few minutes, Tohru didn't wake up.
Naomi: OH MY GOD! WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?
Misaki checked his pulse
Misaki: He is alive, so you shouldn't panic.
Naomi: Still...
But that may change soon...
Ambulance needs to be called
Misaki: Let me check something
Misaki kicked Tohru in the most delicate place.
Tohru recoiled in pain.
Misaki: See? He's fine, he faked it.
Naomi: What's wrong with you?
You have never been so violent
Tohru: If I told you about Shion, you still wouldn't believe me...
You would consider me crazy just like the whole school.
Naomi: So what's the deal with Shion Urushibara?
Could you tell me? I'll listen to you.
Tohru: Only I can see her and talk to her.
I assure you that she exists!
But you probably won't believe me anyway...
Naomi: Let's say that I believe you, but how about her profile on UMessage?
Tohru: I don't have an account on UMessage...
I don't have any friends, everyone thinks I'm a weird person, that's why I don't have UMessage.
But since Shion has, this is proof of her existence!
Naomi: Really, it's not your account?
Tohru: I don't need UMessage...
Naomi checked again profile of Shion Urushibara, soon she got a message from her.
-Will you guys give Tohru a break?
What the hell? Naomi thought..
Later she realized that she might started the curse.
Naomi: Ogata-kun?
Tohru: Y-yes?
Naomi: Is Shion a ghost?
Tohru: No, I don't think so…
I have often talked to her, I think that she exists materially too
Misaki: I have no desire to get involved in this, you are just mentally ill, Ogata-kun.
You shouldn't bother Naomi with him either, if even the Commission considered him a freak.
Tohru got up and started walking away
Naomi: Wait!
Naomi ran after Tohru
Misaki scoffed and headed towards home.
Naomi: Ogata-kun…
I'm sorry for my sister, I..I don't share the same opinon as her about you…
You see…
I believe that there are some people with special abilities, so I guess that Urushibara-san's existence might be some kind of supernatural phenomenon…
Well this class already has one right?
Tohru: Thank you Sakakibara-san…
You are the first person who actually accepted me except Shion.
Naomi: I just have a small request, can you tell Urushibara-san not to contact me anymore?
She scares me a little bit.
Tohru: Well, I will ask her to do it.
Shion acts a little bit like that, but she is a good person.
Naomi: However, I would rather just have a friendship only with you...
Tohru: F-friendship?
Naomi's words hit Tohru like a typhoon; Tohru never had friends of his own.
Naomi was his first friend.
Naomi: I don't have anyone to talk now, so I guess we could become them right?
Tohru: Y-yes of course…
Naomi smiled and said goodbye to Tohru.
Naomi was about to leave the school when she got another message on her phone number.
- And what, convinced?
I exist!
It became clear to Naomi - she had a stalker.
She had a cloudy mind after the whole thing with Shion and Tohru.
-How did you get my number? - she texted back.
-From your sister –Misaki
Naomi ran as fast as she could to her grandparents' house.
She wanted to clarify the whole issue with Misaki.
Misaki, however, has not yet reached home.
When she left the school, a limousine was waiting for her.
She was stopped by a man in a suit before leaving the school.
Man: Misaki Sakakibara-san?
Misaki: Maybe. It depends who is asking..
Man: Mr. Yoshimasa Minamiyashiki asks, I advise you not to lie.
Now, get into his car.
Despite being scared inside, Misaki kept her cool.
Yoshimasa was finishing a phone call, with Michika sitting next to Misaki.
Michika: I'm sorry I did this to you Misaki, but I had no choice.
Misaki: What is this all about?
Yoshimasa: How much did you see?
Misaki: Just how Muneyoshi-san was giving suitcases to someone.
Yoshimasa: Have you seen their contents?
Misaki: No
Yoshimasa: That's good, you have a chance to save your life.
Misaki: Wait what?
Michika: You can work for the Minamiyashiki clan, or die.
Misaki: Fine, I will work for you.
Yoshimasa: Great, now..
Where are you living?
Misaki: In the southern part of the city.
Yoshimasa: Then why do you go to Yomiyama North?
Misaki: Long story…
Yoshimasa: I can drop you off, take it as an act of my goodwill.
Misaki: All right.
Soon, Naomi reached home.
She ran into Misaki's room and yelled at her.
Naomi: Who did you give my number to!
Misaki: What the hell are you talking about?
Naomi: Someone got my number from you!
Misaki: Then call there, you will explain the whole situation that way.
With a trembling hand, Naomi dialed the alleged number belonging to Shion Urushibara.
Connecting with her trembled for quite a long time however in time she answered.
Shion: Hello who is calling?
Naomi stood transfixed hearing Shion's voice.
Misaki took the phone from her hands.
Misaki: Who the f*ck are you?
Misaki, however, did not hear Shion's voice, only her sister Naomi heard it.
Naomi realized that she had just opened a pandora's box.
Misaki: This is some kind of joke, a simple deaf phone.
Naomi?
Naomi: I…I…I.. I heard her…
Misaki: What?
Naomi: I heard her voice…
Misaki: Mental illnesses are not contagious, but judging by the fact that you talked to Ogata I can assume that you got infected from him.
Misaki tried to take it easy and chill out.
However Naomi was paralyzed from the fear.
Misaki: Hey Naomi!
Naomi: I'll go to bed now.
