Chapter 222: Vol. 4 - Chapter 21

Keiko

Waking up next to Kaori's still sleeping body, disappointed that she hadn't magically come back, was something Keiko had gotten used to, over the last couple of weeks. Another thing she'd grown accustomed to was the stomach pain that would sometimes follow. 

"Agh..." She moaned softly as she sat up on her bed, looking down at her hands. Her skin was covered in violet lines. Sighing, Keiko looked around. 

The thing, the... thing, where is it?  She wondered as she looked for the potion Vyl had given her, to combat these symptoms. She'd need more of it soon, so she made a mental note to remind herself to tell Satsuhiro about it. Hopefully, he could send another letter to her. 

Keiko got up, out of bed, after gulping down a couple of sips of that potion, and she watched the violet lines fade. Looking back at Kaori, Keiko briefly spoke to the girl in her thoughts.
