Chapter 75: The Devil's Hour

Around five o'clock in the afternoon, during the time before dusk, the people of the Island Nation call it 'The Bewitching Hour.'

They firmly believe it is a cursed time when malevolent spirits and ghosts appear, and those walking alone on the road can become so beguiled they lose their souls.

It was during this time that a girl, claiming to be Komori Ai, appeared.

The moment she emerged from the woods, Kagura Hikaru and Kiryu Hina felt the hairs on their bodies stand on end.

Too similar.

Whether it was her red dress or her face... she looked exactly like the missing elementary school student from the missing person's notice!

The feeling of horror peaked when she said her name was also Komori Ai.

Could someone who had disappeared on the mountain five years ago really appear here?

Had they inadvertently traveled through time,

or was this person before them not human at all...
