Chapter 17: Nail Box:
Ichiko's POV:
I had to do something about that crazy truck. I then moved to lay a trap. I ran into a monster and took it down. I then took down another one. And then another one.
...
I then layed the tacks on the ground and then went to lure the truck in. When it chased after me, it hit different monsters, got its tires punctured, and then crashed into some bushes. I then took down another monster and then moved on. I then took down three of those new monsters. Where did they come from?
...
I found the truck, but I ran into those new monsters. Something then destroyed them. I was relieved.
Prudence's POV:
"The seven keys..." says Kenelm, "if we destroy those, everything might reTturn to normal!"
"Then what ae we waiTting for," asks Tamon.
"Let's do it," says Yoriko.
So, now we have to destroy the stone markers. I took control of a shibiTto and had it attack another shibiTto. I then shot the one I controlled and took his shovel. I then destroyed the first stone marker. Yoiko then destroyed the second one. I then hit another monster. Tamon then destroyed the third stone maker. Then those new monsters came. They attacked us and we had to fight back. They wee quiTte making it difficult, but then my necklace destroyed them. Kenelm then destroyed the fourth stone marker. Tamon then destroyed the fifth one. Yoiko destroyed the sixth one. I then destroyed the last one. "That's all of them," I said. Then something else was quiTte happening.
...
"You're okay," I asked, "you'll be alright maTte on your own... Sorry to leave you like this... but I don't like being aound people." I then started walking, but Kenelm stops me.
"Wait! Wait a second."
"You know why I survived, don't you? I can read people's minds. And now that power's getting even stronger. Don't look at me as if I'm a monster..." I then left.
