Vol 1 Epilogue (1/2)

Guriko’s Offering

Winter break drew to an end, and the new school ter in the world However, the girl known as Gankyū Eguriko had already disappeared Her desk was removed over the winter break, and it was noticed that her naister Though he already knew this, Sakaki Guryū still felt sadness the moment he confirmed it

Gankyū Eguriko had vanished before their eyes

The reason was unclear

She disappeared fro dream What happened to Guriko? Snake? The Mushi+? They were things Sakaki could not know The town devastated by the Dream World Beast had also been restored over the winter break The only thing that she left behind were their memories – and two Apples

Those two Apples must have taken root in Sakaki’s and Rinne’s souls! Sakaki’s appetite did fall, and occasionally Mushi+-like people would look at him with reddish eyes He apparently needed to stay cautious for the ti However, as the Mushi+ had so far reht that as long as he and Rinne could stay together, living forever wouldn’t be so bad!

Rinne would graduate high school in two years, and Sakaki resolved until then to push thoughts of the future out of his mind and optimistically live his life He would enjoy it ashis memories with Guriko, until life itself becaht the same somewhere else in the world!

These thoughts gave hie

He was not alone He had friends such as Guriko — and also Usagawa Rinne

Rinne had returned to her solitary life since Guriko’s disappearance She should have felt lonely, but she avoided pessith What about hiher too?

Whether she had matured, or not

Sakaki was glad to have met her

Onefroh School’s teacher Sakaki Guryū of class 1-B announced the day’s schedule as well as the schedule for the semester

Thisin the past He had expected such a typical scene to never return, yet Guriko’s efforts made it possible Where was she at this moment? Had she saved someone else in some place unknown to Sakaki?

Sakaki thought about this while absent-mindedly stood at his podium

“SLAM!” The classroom door was suddenly forced open

Sakaki was dumbstruck Rinne was dumbstruck Obviously, the rest of the class was dumbstruck Why couldn’t this person appear in a more normal way? Like so, the door was opened, and without even closing the door behind her, the person pompously walked in and silently wrote on the board with her unke:

Transfer Student: True • Gankyū Eguriko

Since this was simply too odd, even Sakaki was speechless

Could this wolf-haired girl dressed in a sailor unifore to tie her shoelaces properly? They were ether

Her face was stone stiff, as if challenging the world, and a hty aura seemed to rise from her However, for soleaht that emanated out of eyes that now obtained their humanity

In a sharp, confident tone, she announced her introduction

“I auriko”

“Wait a minute”

It’s not surprising that Sakaki decided to interrupt her Guriko, surprised, looked at him

“What?”

“What do you mean, ‘What’? Guriko, as that ‘True’ about?”

The two hid behind the podium and started to talk

Though the students found this suspicious, this type of thing wasn’t necessarily important

“I also considered using ‘New’, but that feels a bit modest”

“Are you a Getter Robo or soh school girls with nauriko like norain? You still have your school documents here, so just come to school like a normal person!”

“They aren’t here!”

Guriko bluntly responded
