Misaki and Michika decided to isolate Naomi and Tohru even further.
They were now doubly ignored by both the rest of the 3-3 class and others nonexistent.
One day in June, a new student came to Class 3-3 - she was Shion Urushibara, who was visible and materialized to all students.
However, everyone except Misaki and Michika did not realize the threat Shion posed.
Ichijirou thought Tohru knew about Shion's transfer.
That's why he asked about her in April.
No one knew that Shion was the second person to return.
Although she was different from all of them.
Although she had the body of a student from previous years, her soul was not that of a person from the 3-3 class, her soul belonged to a person never associated with that class.
Misaki and Michika have already come to terms with the idea that the curse has begun.
Therefore, they joined Naomi and Tohru after a 2-week period of ignoring them.
Naomi: Misaki?
Muneyoshi-san?
Michika: We have some words for you.
Naomi: Do you see? Ogata-kun spoke the truth, Shion really exists!
Although it's a strange situation with her…
Misaki: Should we tell her?
Michika: Nothing is certain yet.
Naomi: What are you talking about?
Misaki: About nothing.
Can we have a few words with Tohru-kun?
Naomi: Oh, okay sure…
Tohru was left alone in the classroom with Michika and Misaki.
Michika stood to hide her anger, so she took a deep breath to calm herself.
Michika: How do you know Urushibara-san?
Tohru: I can't remember myself...
Misaki: Do you realize what you have done?
Also, you dragged my sister into it.
Tohru: I didn't force Naomi-chan… She did it deliberately
Misaki: Did you know Shion was a ghost?
Tohru: She wasn't!
Only I was able to see her back then!
Misaki had problems with being aggressive, she was usually calm and uninvolved, however, if she was upset, it did not take long for her aggression to escalate.
Michika spotted this in time, before Misaki wanted to unleash her wrath on Tohru.
Michika: Hey, Misaki.
Don't do anything stupid
Misaki: Do you realize that your parents and friends could die because of him?
Michika: Will it do anything if you beat the hell out of him?
Misaki: You're lucky you piece of sh*t!
Michika: Anyway, Ogata-kun do you know what you have done now?
Tohru: N-no?
Michika: Do you even know the origins of this curse?
Tohru: A girl named Misaki returned to the living one day...
Michika: This is just a simplification.
It started with one student failing to come to terms with the death of a classmate,
Isn't this familiar to you Ogata-kun?
Tohru: I swear! Shion was a living person!
At least for me! She didn't die! At least I don't know anything about it...
Misaki: Will you at least tell me what the beginning of your relationship with Shion was like?
Tohru: I don't remember… I guess.. I met her.. no.. I knew her since childhood. I really don't know.
Michika: I have bad news for you Tohru-kun.
It all comes out that this year you are the extra one.
You must have died in 2007, or even earlier.
Tohru: W-what?
Misaki: Everyone will soon forget about you as soon as this class is over.
Tohru: No, that can't be true!
Michika: I'm sorry, but you're acting like an extra person.
Gaps in memory, frequent headaches...
But I am more curious about the case of Urushibara-san...
Could it be that she came back with you?
Tohru: P-please leave me alone!
Michika: Fine, but I would like to talk to you tomorrow.
Michika and Misaki left the empty classroom where depressed Tohru was.
Naomi, Tohru's good friend, was waiting for him, as they often went home together.
Naomi entered the classroom, Tohru was on the verge of crying.
Naomi: Tohru-kun! Are you okay?
Tohru: Listen Naomi… If your sister and Muneyoshi-san were right…
I'm really the extra person of this year…
Neither you nor Urushibara-san will remember me in a few months.
Naomi: I think my brother is friends with your older brother, his name is Mamoru Ogata right?
Tohru nodded.
Naomi: I can ask my brother, and you would ask yours.
Surely this is not true.
My sister is sometimes a sadist, and likes to bully those who upset her.
She probably did it on purpose.
Tohru: But Muneyoshi-san said that, not your sister.
Naomi: I don't trust Muneyoshi-san.
She is acting strangely, especially with this accusation of my sister breaking the rules.
Maybe she's trying to manipulate you?
Tohru: I really thank you for your support, Sakakibara-san...
Naomi: I would prefer that we call each other by our first names...
Tohru: Oh, okay..
Tohru hugged Naomi
Naomi blushed a bit, but she didn't resisted, she enjoyed it too.
Tohru: I am really grateful to you, you are the only one who did not take me for a freak.
Naomi: No one would want to simulate conversations like that, just to have contact with anyone.
Tohru: Shall we go home?
Naomi: Sure..
Meanwhile, Misaki went with Michika to the Minamiyashiki mansion.
Michika: Listen, one thing.
We won't be working for the Yakuza, or rather with the Yakuza.
Our principal is not a member of the yakuza, but a person affiliated with the yakuza.
And one more thing.
The Yomiyama Yakuza is different from the rest of such organizations in Japan.
Some people simply call it Yomiyama.
Don't let anything shock you, and remember, don't tell anyone about it.
Misaki: Understood.
Michika entered the room where Chitose Minamiyashiki was waiting for her.
Chitose ruled indirectly over the 3 Great Clans - Minamiyashiki, Hironiwa and Muneyoshi.
Her husband, Yoshimasa Minamiyashiki, was born in the Hironiwa clan, and was a cousin of Tatsumi, Ria and Kenshin.
However, he took his wife's surname and disassociated himself from the Yakuza.
However, everything changed after the death of Kamiyama and Tatsumi Hironiwa, Yoshimasa Minamiyashiki "inherited" the leadership of the Hironiwa clan.
Yoshimasa and Chitose had 2 sons - Naohisa Minamiyashiki and Shinji Hironiwa, both despite having the same parents had different surnames.
Chitose was the head of the Minamiyashiki clan, and also the spouse of the head of the Hironiwa clan - who was her puppet.
She also manipulated Michika, so that she basically ruled the 3 Great Yomiyama Clans, the fourth clan - Anju resisted Chitose's growing influence.
Mainly because , it was the richest of all four.
Chitose spotted Michika and Misaki.
Chitose: Michika, this is your friend who has seen too much right?
Michika: Yes, Chitose-sama however she intends to cooperate with us.
Chitose: Great, let her in.
Misaki: Greetings Madam, I am Misaki Sakakibara, I am eager to work with you.
Misaki made a bow.
Chitose: I'm Chitose Minamiyashiki, can I ask you a few questions before we move on?
Misaki: Okay.
Chitose: Are you willing to kill if I just point the finger at who needs to be deprived of life?
Misaki: If I didn't value my own life, I wouldn't have accepted the offer Muneyoshi-san made me.
Therefore, if my life depends on it, I am willing to kill anyone.
Chitose: Let's say it's a request and not a threat, would you still be able to kill someone?
Misaki: Well if I were to become a hitwoman instead of a porter then I'll do it gladly.
Chitose: In that case, since you are already working for me.
It's your job to eliminate a certain person.
Let this be a test for you.
You can always carry suitcases.
Misaki was slightly shocking, after heating that she will become already a hitwoman
Misaki: When can I start?
Chitose: You can even kill this person today.
Here's the address, and the gun.
Misaki hesitantly picked up the gun and looked it over.
Chitose: Hey, but know that guns and ammunition are in short supply.
Use as few bullets as possible, which means no more than two.
Misaki bowed to Chitose, thanked her and left.
After her, Michika walked in.
Chitose: Michika, Where do you get such born killers? Of course, if she wasn't just making worthless declarations.
Michika: What are you talking about Chitose-sama?
Chitose: Your next action will be to eliminate a certain man who knows too much about the Minamiyashiki clan and our transactions.
You'll be supporting Sakakibara. And if necessary, If she chickens out or refuses to complete the task kill her as well, you have a gun and 4 bullets here.
Michika: I thought Yakuza didn't kill civilians.
Chitose: I don't formally belong to the yakuza, and neither do you.
Therefore, you can kill those I tell you to kill.
Michika: I understood.
Chitose: I hope you are good actresses, you are supposed to pretend to be two frightened schoolgirls, in case you find yourself at the scene of a crime.
Oh, And the weapon I give you is to return to me, unless you use a white weapon or poison.
