After a week had passed, Nakano and the others returned to Takjaya Village, to investigate the emergence of Astral Beings there. They were there because they were given a mission, as Nakano expected. As for me, I took time off to stay in this hospital.
I took time off to look after Akio. I knew that I had to take care of him because the Astral Being who disguised himself as the village chief had yet to be found, that's why I'm here.
But before that, I heartily apologize to him for what happened. I sincerely apologized to him, and he was happy to take advantage of me. Even so, I still feel guilt in my heart. I still feel how pitiful I am for not being able to save his parents.
