Chapter 28: The Warning:

Aiko's POV:

It's been a year now, but there are good things.

"What do you mean you're breaking off the engagement," asks Taisei.

"I'm with someone," I said.

"Who," asks Taisei.

"Me," says Alan, entering.

"Say hello to my fiancée, Alan Amakura, head of Orchid," I said.

"I'll get you for this," says Taisei, as he walks away.

I was walking when I saw Rulan with someone from her work. "What's up," I asked.

"Yume, this is my future sister-in-law," says Rulan.

"I'm just worried about my sister," says Yume, "after my parents died, she ended up raising me!"

"Wow, that's sort of like with Rulan and Alan," I said.

"I think she's being abused by her fiancée," says Yume.

"You guys should talk to Alan," I said, "I bet he can take care of it!"

...

I was then walking when I saw Sōzanji. "Come to congratulate me," I asked.

"Aiko, evil is coming, and you have to stop it!"

"The Parasite thing hasn't been a problem in a long time," I said, "I think it's given up... wait, do parasites give up?"

"This is unlike anything you have ever seen before," says Sōzanji, "you have been warned!" He then disappeared.

I just shrugged and moved on.
