Kana since she read the forbidden book has been frightened by the prospect of a relationship with Yuuichi, the book has distorted her concept of love.

Kotomi, seeing this, felt remorse, she thought it would help Kana slowly enter adulthood, but Kana got traumatized, Misaki, on the other hand, closely watched Kana and Yuuichi, and even began to follow them, hoping to get a chance to kill Michika.

Kana kept her distance from Yuuichi, making him feel remorseful that he might have done something wrong, which was not true.
Once, she almost got covered by Yuuichi, who often checked to see if he was being watched.

Yuuichi was surprised, he didn't know what he was talking about.

Yuuichi: Have you been following us, Sakakibara-san?

Misaki: Of course not, it's just a coincidence.

Yuuichi: Can you explain to us?

You probably live somewhere else right?

Misaki: I just had to walk over here, Misaki pointed her finger at the intersection,

I'm going to walk this way, how about you?

Yuuichi: On a different one.

Misaki: Anyway, why would I follow you guys?

Are you doing something illegal?

Yuuichi: Of course not!

It's just that since we left school you've been following us...

It's a bit disturbing...

Misaki: Really?

I don't think so, me and Kana seem to know each other well.

I'm the person you should rather trust.

Kana looked at Yuuichi as if she wanted to tell Yuuichi to let Misaki in on this.

Yuuichi was against it, Michika through Underground conveyed to him not to trust anyone from their class, he wasn't sure whether to trust even Kana.

Yuuichi: Sorry Sakakibara-san, you can't follow us...

Misaki: And why is that?

Kana: If you had asked if you could join us it would have looked different...
Misaki: My mistake, and may I ask where you are going?

Yuuichi: I live not far from Kana, so I thought why not go back together...

Kana, meanwhile, went to her home alone because of the trauma.

Yuuichi forgot about it and ran after Kana after a short while.

Misaki did not want to follow them any further, preferring to wait until the next day, when she would have the opportunity to eliminate Michika.

She had her gun and silencer well hidden in her house, so she waited for that moment.

She went to her house where she slowly prepared for the action, she had a gun for her own use, as well as a few bullets.

Finally the day came, Misaki went to Yomiyama Park and started looking for Michika, she only came across Kana, who had come earlier.

The moonlight illuminated the park enough for Kana to notice the gun in Misaki's hand.

Kana was slightly frightened.

Kana: S-Sakakibara? What are you doing here?

Misaki: I came to get some air.

Kana: T-to get some air, are you sure?

Misaki: Are you waiting for someone?

It is strange to meet you at this time in such a place.

Kana: N-no why, I mean... umm...

Kana felt nervous seeing spotting a gun, she thought it might have been a silly joke so after a while she calmed down.

Kana: Actually, I'm waiting for Yuuichi...

M-may I know what you are doing here?

Misaki: Well, I told you after all - to get some fresh air.

Kana: And what's in your right hand?

Kana was trembling and felt like screaming for help, however, she decided to trust Misaki - Where would she get a real gun?

Misaki: It's nothing like that Kana, I think it would be better for you to go home, I will also be going soon.

Kana: Answer my question!

Kana was worried that Misaki might have been following them - but how did she know Michika was even alive?

Misaki: It's not a real weapon, trust me.

Kana: Then why, did you come here at this hour?

Were you spying on us?

Were you eavesdropping?

I will text Yuuichi to warn him...

Misaki at this point saw no other option but to kill Kana.

Misaki: Nothing personal Kana.

Misaki pulled out her gun and shot Kana, then shot a second time just to be sure.

She then hid in the darkness and waited for Michika and Yuuichi.

When they arrived they noticed Kana's body lying on the ground.

Yuuichi: K-kana?

Michika: Damn... they know!

Yuuichi tried to run to Kana however Michika grabbed his hand.

Michika: We have to run Yuuichi!

Michika barely suppressed tears, despite the darkness she guessed that Kana was dead.
Michika: I don't want to lose anyone anymore,Yuuichi...

Run away!

Yuuichi gulped, and began to run.

Soon, however, there was the quiet sound of shots from a silenced gun.

Misaki shot Yuuichi in the arm.

Despite everything, they managed to escape.

Yuuichi hugged Michika, wanting to soothe his pain over Kana's death.

Yuuichi: Kana...

Michika burst into tears in Yuuichi's arms.

Michika: It hurts...

It hurts so cruelly...

Yuuichi: Why...Why did she have to die?

Michika: She was in the wrong place at the wrong time...

That's how... How is your wound?

Yuuichi: It hurts terribly, but I will make it to the hospital.

Michika: No, you can't...

You will only complicate the situation with the law...

But I have a relative who used to be a surgeon.

2-6 Urasawacho, take care Yuuichi...

Yuuichi nodded and went to the address given, Kaito Muneyoshi opened for him.

Kaito: How can I help you?

Yuuichi: Sir, I've been shot... My friend said you used to be a surgeon and can help me...

Kaito: That's right... Michika Muneyoshi?

Yuuichi nodded his head.

Kaito: Okay come in.

I'll treat your wounds.

During the operation, Yuuichi hissed in pain a few times...

Kaito: Ehh... It was so peaceful here for so many years...

And now...

Will you tell me what happened?

Yuuichi: Do you know why Michika has to hide?

Kaito: Unfortunately yes apparently she found out the truth.

Yuuichi: In that case, I was supposed to meet her in the park...

And me and my friend who was waiting for us...

We were shot...

Unfortunately, my friend is already dead...

Kaito: It's sad...

Meanwhile, a bullet was extracted from Yuuichi's arm.

Kaito: Now just sew up and bandage your wound...

Yuuichi: How much do I pay?

Kaito smiled gloomily

Kaito: Nothing, I am already retired.

Besides you, I have operated on two more people.

Under similar conditions...

Yuuichi: I understand...

But you are still a very good surgeon...

Kaito: I retired at a very young age...

I was only 59 years old...

This was 3 years ago, probably if it wasn't for a certain failed operation I would probably still be operating.

I broke down because I failed to save a certain boy...

I blamed everything on my age and retired.

So far almost all surgeries have gone well for me...

I was the star of this hospital...

I was wanted by various private clinics, in Tokyo, Osaka, or even as far away as Kitakyushu, but that was against my values...

There I would treat for money, not out of vocation...

Yuuichi was in awe of the doctor's confession.

Kaito sighed and looked in another direction, as if reminiscing about the good old days.

Kaito: Okay, that's it...

Yuuichi: Thank you doctor...

Kaito: You're welcome.

The next day, news of Kana's death spread throughout Yomiyama and even throughout Japan.

Everyone was curious about the mysterious murder of Kana Ishigami, who had just turned 16 on February 17 - the day of her death.

Misaki pretended to be shocked upon learning of this, then asked Yuuichi in disbelief...

Misaki: K-Kasuga-kun... is it true?

Kana is dead?

Yuuichi: Unfortunately yes...

Yuuichi, despite his initial suspicions, over time ruled out the possibility that Misaki had killed her.

Misaki: I am so sorry...

Yuuichi: Well... I guess the day will come for everyone someday...

They were soon approached by Miyuki Asahina/.

Miyuki: Kasuga-kun, come join us for a moment...

Yuuichi anxiously approached Miyuki, Arisa, and Masato Yurugi - countermeasures officers.

Arisa: We are of the opinion that the curse may have returned.

Kasuga-kun perhaps you can comment on this?

Kasuga-kun perhaps you can comment on this?

Yuuichi looked at countermeasures and their assistants - Yutaka Sakurai and Sai Fujitani - some looked at Yuuichi with hostility, others with pity.

Yuuichi: What is the matter?

Miyuki: You left countermeasures in October because you thought you trusted Muneyoshi-san , who claimed to know how to remove the curse...

And now the curse is back, why don't you explain it to us?

Yuuichi: You think it's because of me?

After all, we saved Honma-sensei in November...

And also you Serizawa-san, after all you were very sick then right?

Misaki and Naomi's brother also almost died, the curse was dropped, where do you see the problem?

Miyuki: Then what happened to Muneyoshi-san and Ishigami-san?

Muneyoshi-san has been dissolving into thin air for some time, probably dead, and Ishigami-san was found dead in the park today.

Yuuichi: What does this have to do with me?

Sai: Ishigami-san was last seen with you...

Yuuichi: I don't suppose you suspect me of that?

Arisa: Who knows?

Yuuichi: Why would I kill her?

This is stupid!

Miyuki: We have to rule out all scenarios.

This one, unfortunately, we are also considering.

Yuuichi: That's what you called me for?

Miyuki: You're just being... as if to say... quite connected to the curse, you took it off but you could also renew it, even by accident, so we will keep an eye on you.

There are already a couple of weeks to go anyway.
