Vol 2 Epilogue (2/2)
“Haru otten already, but… To tell the truth, it was o”
“… Is that so?”
“What’s more There’s a box that ether, then buried it near here Wanna go now to dig it up?”
“No I’ll pass Today I’m tired”
“Really!? I’ it up♪”
“Wait a … Gueeeeeeh! Understood! I’ my neeeeeeck!”
I was dragged by the scruff of my neck like a kitten
That’s the giant tribe for you… What’s with this power!?
It see unable to oppose girls, either now or in the past, it hasn’t changed a bit
“I found it! I found it!”
The box Kyouko said, as it was in a shallower place than it seeo, could be found very fast
It’s nothing more than a supposition, but could it be that Kyouko, so as to bask in memories, came here sometimes to tend to the box?
If it wasn’t like that, I doubt it would have been so easy to dig up soo
“… Is that so? That’s good”
I had s
Don’t tell o?
Let’s say Kyouko asks me to marry her, how could I reply to her?
“…”
Kyouko put a dumbfounded expression
The moment I cast my eyes upon the two sheets of tanzaku in her hands, I could understand why
I’d say the soil ed the quality of the paper They are in a state where the writing cannot be read
“What are those? The keepsakes you mentioned…?”
“… Yeah They can’t be read anymore, but here there ritten very precious memories”
“… Is that so?”
Kyouko got for a moment into an ‘absentain,
“Yeah, There has been a slight change in plans, but… No probleh for now”
“?”
“Haru, could you stretch your right hand?”
“Why so sudden?”
As Kyouko said, I reached my hand to her
As soon as I felt so darkness was drowned by a pale light that just spilled out
“Wha How can this…!?”
Of course, I got surprised
This light is the same I saw back when I made a contract with Iris
Then, this should be… A Contract Ring
Why does Kyouko have a Contract Ring?… I have no proof, but there was only one I knew of
The after fro
Could it be… Maybe Noelle’s Enforce Ring so?
Ifis true, then the pain of Noelle when she tried to use the ring is comprehensible
Of course this is nothing ive a co the free will of thefor a function of the Enforce Ring already turned into a Contract Ring, she suffered that backlash…?
If I think like that, the flow of events can be explained
“I too don’t understand it very well, but… I’ve heard so like that For a , they say the contract partner has to choose it from its own volition”
“… I see”
Turning away her glance, Kyouko said while fidgety entwining her fingers
“On fairy-tales passed around at the Netherworld, two people separated by an unwanted contract can be reunited by the will of the ring… There are tons of endings like that But for that to actually happen… a strong relationshi+p of mutual trust, how do I put it… it seems deep bonds that anyone would envy are needed…”
“…”
If what Kyouko says is correct, is this ring she put on ? If you said to theis alive’, I would have laughed
But now, I’ that impossible
… For good or bad, I’irls that are themselves unscientifical existences
“Chiharu… What are you doing in a place…”
Turningheavily, dashed before me
As?
Her expression seems a bit relieved
“Ku… Being outran by a lowly ghoul―”
“Pant… Pant… Onii-chan… I found you… By the way, Iris-chan and the zombie run very fast…”
And, it’s not only Zonmi
“You guys… Why the heck…!?”
“That’s good… You’re safe and sound I could feel it through the ring Chiharu’s e levels and reached a state of being out of control― Chiharu, what has happened here?”
“Eeeerm, you see…”
“!?”
When I started talking, Zonlance fell on my hand
Zon left with a face of incredulity, her eyes opened wide, started tre,
“… You don’t say!? Chiharu and the Nephili… Tell me your explanation, if you have one!”[3]
She inquired with a bloodcurdling grimace
“…”
Well Fro?
To explain the reason behind our contract, I first should tell about Kyouko’s capture
And then the battle against the Black Tamer
That Kyouko was put under Enforce
Aular situation
If I start explaining froh
As, bewildered, I couldn’t look her in the eyes,
“Hey, zombie! That doesn’t matter!”
Manami objected in a loud voice
“Wha Isn’t this unrelated to you, little sister!? Be quiet! You tend to act in strange ways… That’s weird! Even when, just in case, so that you, being huer, I ran here at full speed…”
“…”
I see So that’s the reason why Zonmi is out of breath?
Still, she seems to have endured it quite well, but how the heck could Mana at full speed…
“It’s SO related to , but better than that, shouldn’t we confirht now the state of onii-chan’s chastity!?”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Wh-why is everyone wordless!? Could it be being deep in the irls in heat!? I’d say that’s the only thing it can be!!”
… As usual, this little sister of mine has to butt in on such an important moment in a catastrophic way
When, beforeaway
Froht sky with a loud noise like flowers in full bloom
“Pretty…”
Seeing the fireworks being launched one after the other, Kyouko let out a word of admiration
“… Are these those rumored so-called fireworks I’ve heard of? I’ve seen the is believing They are as appealing as they say”
“Kukkuku Wouldstn’t thou say it’s a good perfor in this world that holds a candle before our flames”
I'd say it’s the first ti fireworks
Enraptured by the beauty of the fireworks… Rather, just startled by the scale and noise of the fireworks
“Muu~ And now fireworks!? In the end, as the outco[4]!?”
“… Hey? But, isn’t it weird? The tio… Why are they launching them now?”
Ignoring hts
“Well I’m not very well informed on the matter, but I’ve heard a student without coe words like ‘events for the enjoyment of riajuus like this should be erased fro… A very disturbing fellow”
“… Is that so?”
Wasn’t that undoubtedly Youhei!?
Darn… That Youhei… How rash…
Nevertheless By chance, thanks to that guy delaying the launching, we could have everyone gather like this on the best spot and see the fireworks
Doesn’t that rateful to Youhei?
“Well, then… You’ve ended up eluding the talk I’ll question you in detail once we come back home”
“… Aah If it’s like that, I’ll help”
“At any rate This means you’ve become the second partner Nephilim”
Said Zon the ‘second’ part
“… But in my case, I won’t let our relationshi+p stop on a partner level”
After that declaration, Kyouko strongly pressed ainst her breasts
“O-oi…”
I’d say that, after the contract, she’s gotten in very high spirits, but her unusually proactive approach makes me unconsciously embarrassed
“Wha-ha What exactly does that meaaan!?”
Zonmi’s yell was cruelly drowned by the fireworks’ noise―
Apart froht sky, a womanly― violent battle’s sparks were scattered between those two

Ju was put on Chiharu's left ring finger by Iris, and was not lost when Chiharu's right ared it's nature, by accident or external influence, into a nor, which Kyouko picked up after the battle and used on Chiharu's right hand to seal her own contract Zonmi does not know of these events and probably believes that Contract Rings can only be given by the association, so her confusion is natural Her jealous anger though, is regrettable
