"Fuck... Not again! Goddammit... Let's get going then!", Harashi said as he started to run once more. "W-wait, where is this shrine in Edogawa?", Yuriko asked. "I've no clue myself... Ask hi- wait... What the hell is that?!", he said as he turned around to see a... centaur thing covered in flames and carrying a scythe rushing at them. "My god, this'll be bad for those ents," he said to himself. "You two!", Harashi shouted at them. "E-eh? W-what is it?", Yuriko asked. "...Go on without me for now," he said as he stopped on his tracks and turned to face whatever was chasing them. He morphed his ring back into the greatsword it originally was. 

"I'll take care of this thing," Harashi said, preparing his stance and raising his guard. "Don't worry about me. What matters is you two will be safe, got it?", he said. "No! We won't leave you!", Yuriko retaliated. "...sorry, you two have no choice," Harashi tapped the ents and made them run faster to get away from him, as the Nightmare got closer and closer. "Nooooo!", Yuriko screamed. "I'll be fine, don't worry," Harashi calmly said, then waved at them, then suddenly turned around to block an attack from the Nightmare. "Well... Seems like it's just... You and me!", Harashi said as he made the Nightmare jump back by slashing his blade towards it. 'Ah, I hope I don't die yet... I still want to take more naps... And grandma... I hope she's okay,' he thought. He let out a yell as he started to charge toward the Nightmare, and it started to charge at him as well.

"What a huge place...", Hideki said to himself as they entered the home of the Sakkaku shrine. "Indeed... It is a really big place," Yoshimi replied. 'Hopefully we'll be safe here...', he thought to himself, a bead of sweat dropping on his cheek. 'It'll cause a lot of chaos if we get attacked here,' another thought. "Thank goodness, you're safe, Yoshimi-sama," Hiroshi, Yoshimi's personal servant said as he ran up to her. "We were really worried...", he said and bowed. "Ah... I'm very glad I'm safe too. My friend here, Yamamoto Hideki-san, helped me stay safe," Yoshimi happily said. "Ah, is that so... We are truly grateful, Yamamoto-sama," Hiroshi said as he bowed again to the white-haired man. "Ah... It's nothing. I'm happy to keep my friends safe," Hideki replied. "Is that so?", the old servant asked, to which Hideki replied to with a simple nod. "You are a kind young man. And... I hear the Yamamoto family are the protectors of the Kaminari shrine?", Hiroshi asked him. "Ah... Yes, that's right. My family protects the Kaminari shrine. Although... My younger sister and I got separated, and I have no idea where my parents have gone off to," Hideki replied. 'I hope they're all okay... And those two guys as well,' Hideki thought. "I see...", was Hiroshi's simple reply. 

"Well, we are just relieved that we have not been attacked... yet," Hiroshi somewhat nervously said. "As the destruction spreads even more... The higher the chance of our shrine getting attacked is," he added. "...That's true. I've also noticed the servants have all been tense and have their guards raised...", Hideki said. "Yes, it's to assure that we will be able to defend for ourselves. There is a good number of servants here, but... Some of them are not trained to fight at all. So... Casualties are... almost guaranteed,' Hiroshi regretfully said. "...Indeed" "Yes...", Hideki and Yoshimi both said. "Well... In any case, I will also protect this place at any cost," Hideki said. "I see... As a descendant of the Kaminari shrine, I'm certain you will be able to defend yourself from those... creatures," Hiroshi replied. "Yes... I suppose I will be able to," the white-haired young man said. "I'm sure you two are tired though, you both must rest," the old man said to the two. "Ah, no, I'm fine, Hiroshi-san," Yoshimi said. "...No, you ran with me on your back when I passed out. We both need to rest," Hideki said to her. "Well... That is true," she replied and looked down. "Let us go to your room then, Yoshimi-sama. You may follow as well, Yamamoto-san," Hiroshi said, and the two followed.
