Kanoya Yukino and Hachisaku-sama seemed to have some sort of transaction between them.
The hand-drawn sketches in her bag were likely the bargaining chips for the transaction.
Hearing Kanoya's promise, Hachisaku-sama showed a satisfied and expectant expression, "I really liked the one you drew last time, and I'll look at this one once you finish it. Please be sure to do it quickly."
"Okay."
The junior college manga artist nodded, clearly not surprised by being rushed for a ghost story, as it wasn't her first time; she continued with the topic at hand, "Have you visited that boy from the Asakawa Family? How is he doing?"
"He's beyond help," Hachisaku-sama said indifferently.
"What... what do you mean? I saw him during the day, and he didn't seem that abnormal, although there was still a strange aura lingering on him that caught my attention."
