Summary: They say life flashes before you in that moment before death. I could see it all reflected in the blade. I was standing under the cherry blossoms at my school entrance ceremony, eating cake at my sister's wedding, standing outside praying the monster wouldn't come tonight. I might not be dead yet but I can see what's coming, this is the story of how I was murdered by a fox monster!

Chapter 9
I thought I would have to hide my new secret life from my family (just like they did in movies), but Sis had me ratted out fast. I forgot I was dealing with the daughter of Kousuke Matsumoto.
"What's this? Sealing charms? Why do you have sealing charms in your bag?" Sis waved the paper in my face before she dived her hand into my backpack for another look. "And what's this? An encyclopedia of Obake! Have you," she paused for breath, "been
exorcising?"
I wasn't sure how I could save myself.
"Maybe, perhaps," I stuttered. "I met some kids at school who are exorcists and they let me join their club."
"What do you mean
they let you joined their club? Since when has there ever been an exorcist club at high school?"
"You know. The one they have after school, at school, where you learn about mystical stuff which doesn't exist, because there's no such thing as Obake."
I thought I'd done a great job at saving myself, but Sis was not fooled.
"Do you take me for an idiot? I know what this is! It even has
property of Miyake South Headquarters printed on the cover. Is this where you've been spending all your time after school?"
