章 819: Run off into the distance, young man!

Shigure made his decision.

He didn't have to think hard about it… In fact, he barely thought at all before he came to a decision. He would trust Seiji Haruta!

Even Shigure himself found it strange how easily he came to such a decision.

Why was it that rather than his own family, he far more trusted this "mortal enemy" to save him?

Shigure was rather confused about his own feelings. He didn't know the answer, but he also didn't have any doubts about Seiji. This seemed quite strange.

After some momentary confusion, he decided to give up on this seemingly unsolvable problem.

Shigure told Seiji his answer. Seiji said that he needed to return to the real world first, but that he would return again. He then led Shigure into the shrine.

A white-clad miko (Chiaki) who wore a mask was quietly waiting for him in the shrine.
