Alteration Part 3 ( (かい) (へん) () (さん) Kaihen sono san?) is the one hundred and fourteenth chapter of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun by AidaIro. It details the "date" that both Teru and Aoi went on, and shows further changes that the New Present has that makes it different from the original timeline

Summary[]

Part 1: The Date[]

The Chapter begins with Minamoto Teru introducing himself as "Akane-San's Fiancée", much to the chagrin and frustration of Aoi Akane in the background, who never appears in the chapter after that. He then begins to summarize the events of the last few chapters:

After getting tangled up in the Clock Keepers' arbitrary decision to change the past, we've ended up in a school festival that so far seems peaceful.

According to the answers Yashiro-San squeezed out of Aoi, in order to get back to the old world, we need to determine exactly what the Clock Keepers changed in the past.

And to do that, we first have to search for the biggest changes in this new timeline.

Teru summarizing the events that led to his situation in the present, and planning to figure out how to go back to his original timeline.


With that goal in mind, Teru takes Aoi out to walk around Kamome Gakuen together. As such, he begins by scoping out the inside of the school. But Aoi tugs him by grabbing his Student Council armband, and then reminds him that they are both going on a date. Teru is shocked by this and asks Aoi if they're really going on a date together, to which she says that they are, because they are engaged after all. Teru then channels his rizz and asks her to take his hand. Initially, he expects that he will get a cold "No thanks" from her, but instead, she responds positively and holds his hand, which makes him feel uneasy due to knowing how much Akane loves her. With her in tow, he tells Aoi if she wants to explore the School Festival together.

As they go around the different booths and exhibits of the School Festival, Aoi holds on to Teru's hand tightly as they enter a horror booth. She remarks in a flirty way that the "monsters" are scary and tells Teru to keep her safe. This just makes Teru all the more uneasy as he tries to hide it by smiling. He keeps the same expression even when they go towards an indoor coaster booth and a photo spot booth. Aoi liked the picture that was taken, with Teru responding that he'll just send it to Akane instead, which makes her shake her head intensely (And possibly indicates that her original memories are slowly coming back). Teru seems to notice this and asks her if there is a problem, to which she says "Go Ahead" in a shy manner.

Teru and Aoi then take a break and go to the Snack Stall, where Teru buys a barbecue for her. While Aoi mutters that Teru is the one wanting it, he replies that he wants her to feed it to him, since that is what fiancées do all the time. She relents with a clear indication of reluctance in her face, and lets him eat the barbecue. Unfortunately, this caught the eye of the students around the School Festival, who all gather round and praise the both of them for being good-looking and lovey-dovey with one another. But both Teru and Aoi are embarrassed by their action and the students reactions to it, and so express rather sour expressions, leading some students to assume that they're going to break up. With tense feelings and the crowd becoming larger, Teru asks Aoi if they should go somewhere else, and she obliges.

Part 2: The Minamoto Clan's Obligation[]

Once they go to the secluded place, Aoi slaps Teru on the cheek, and is very disappointed with him. She tells him what was he thinking, telling him that he is being "a sorry excuse of a man", and giving him zero points for today's date. She then starts pouting, and reminds Teru that they both made a promise as children that they would behave like a proper couple in front of everyone else. But before she can continue, Teru asks her if it's possible that she doesn't have a crush on him, to which she is shocked by his question. Aoi asks him what his question was all about, and Teru begins to interrogate her by asking if she liked Akane, and if she did, then why is she going through with the engagement (Clearly, Teru is trying to jog Aoi's original memories out). Aoi instead asks Teru on why he is doing such a thing, but Teru insists and tells her to answer him while sparing no details, which clearly frustrates Aoi.

Both Teru and Aoi go to a secluded pool in the school, and she admits to Teru that their arranged marriage was arranged by their grandfathers. This is because as a female child of the Akane Clan, she is prone to being spirited away by the supernaturals, and as such, the only way to protect her is for her to be married into the Minamoto Family, who have the Exorcist Blood running through their veins. Additionally, she heard that the Minamoto Clan benefits from the arrangement as well, to which Teru becomes curious about. Aoi also tells him that said "benefits" are actually a secret that he (Or rather, the New Present version) never told her.

Teru begins to think further on what Aoi had said regarding the Minamoto Clan's arrangement with the Akane Clan and its implications:

An arrangement that would benefit the Minamoto Clan? Based on the fact that I kept it from her, it must be something that reflects pretty poorly on us.

The Akane Clan possess a special bloodline. Those born into it make perfect human sacrifices for the types of gods and supernaturals that demand them. We would try to keep girls like that within close reach to have control over them.

But the masses have stopped believing in gods that demand sacrifices, and now the Seven Mysteries reside at the Academy in place of them, so why?

Wait! Unless...

The Seven Mysteries don't exist in this world...?

Teru wondering on what this "benefit" to the Minamoto Clan is all about, on how the Akane girls are powerful sacrifices for the supernaturals and gods, and wondering if this is because the Seven Mysteries don't exist in this world.


Aoi continues with her talk, telling Teru that their engagement became official when she was seven-years old, right after her dad left. She also said that her mother strongly supported the engagement and that rather than marrying out of love, she thought that an arranged marriage between families was safer. She admitted that she didn't want to get engaged and she was at loss as to what she wanted to do, but she reminded Teru that when he found her alone in the garden, he told her this:

Although neither of us wanted this to happen, we can't just go against our families' decision.

So let's pretend like everything's fine in front of everyone else, and who knows? Maybe one day, we can break it off altogether too.

— A younger Teru making a promise to the younger Akane Aoi following their official engagement to one another, and expressing their mutual reluctance for it.


Teru's promise to Aoi

This leaves Teru at a pause, because the entire time, he was assuming that she rejected because she liked Aoi. Teru asked her if he was unhappy too, to which she confirmed it as she also remembered that Teru also told her that he hated people who always hanged their heads and played the victim, and that she should not fall in love with him, because it would be a real pain if they did. Teru still seemed off it, and called him a brat, also asking Aoi who was he, only for her to tell Teru that it was him. Regardless of their true feelings towards one another, they had no choice but to pretend that everything's fine and that their engagement is going perfectly. Given that Teru does stand out, if rumors about their breakup will be made and reach her mother's ears, it will make her very sad. Teru asked her as to her Father, and she said in a scary tone that he had an affair and she has two half-sisters.

Aoi then admitted to Teru that while she loved her mother, she wished that she had a little more faith in her. It also came with her remembering a fond childhood memory with Akane. (Or rather, her original memories resurfacing). She also told Teru that he has to performed well because he doesn't want to be lectured by his family. Teru remembers that, and tells Aoi that it is because he wished to prevent his siblings from getting involved with the family's obligations as much as he can, and addtionally, he doesn't want the only person he can rely on to be involved due to his age (With him comedically screaming "Who are you calling an old man?"). Teru also mentioned that his father is basically not home, and his mother is no longer with them.

But before Teru can finish, Aoi's reaction suddenly became so shocked, and she quickly asks Teru if something happened to his mother. And then she added that she just ran into her at the shopping mall the other day, revealing that in the New Present, his mother never died after giving birth to Tiara. This got Teru thinking that the New Present's "that" kind of world.

Part 3: The Ritual's Implications[]

At the Minamoto Residence, a very-much alive Mother of the Minamoto kids is cooking a number of foods for the entire family. Her son tells her that he is done cooking some of the food and preparing the tables. She comes in to check her son's cooking, and she is delighted by what she sees. She praises him for his good work, and tells him that someday, he'll become a better cook than her. Kou sees what she is cooking, and asks her what they are, to which she says that they are meat cutlets.

However, she became horrified at what she sees next, as Kou seemingly prepared the table only for three people, and she tells him that, to which he replies with shock (Implying that his memories are resurfacing) that he only prepared three plates, despite being family of 5. His mother agreed, and in addition, told him that his dad will be joining in tonight. He answers that "somehow, three just felt right", to which his mother replies by wondering who he had forgot. But before their conversation can continue, his phone vibrates since someone is calling him. So he takes his leave from the kitchen and prepares to answer the phone

Kou takes out his phone and answers the caller, who is revealed to be Mitsuba (With his mother chilling in the background). He tell him that a student (One of the girls who recited the Ritual of the Spirit Gate from the previous chapter) had gone missing. He tells Kou that there is a ritual that can summon a spirit who can answer any question you ask. Additionally, he said that three students from the Photography Club tried it out, and one of them disappeared right before their very eyes, causing the other two to try and look for her. Mitsuba then continues that as their senpai, he couldn't just leave them be, and aims to stop them before the teacher finds out.

Kou asks him "So", and Mitsuba tells him that since he's an Exorcist, he should come with him. This leaves Kou flabbergasted, and the chapter ends.
