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 22
“But how did she find me?” I asked.
“I can only guess that she heard rumors of another Daisuke Matsumoto living in this area," replied Akito. "Maybe from people, other Obake, young exorcists doing funny impressions of you when you're not around,” he looked directly at Taisei and Kiyori.
Kiyori shrugged his shoulders and attempted to appear innocent. “What, it was only once, or twice.”
After fleeing from the fox monster, Itsuki and I luckily made it back to headquarters safely. The other exorcists and I were sitting seiza style in the front room as we held an emergency meeting with Akito. I expected everyone else to share my panic and fear, but they were unexpectedly relaxed (and still continued to fool around) except for Akito who looked like he was at a funeral.
