Sumire Part 1 (スミレ
Summary[]
Hanako and Yashiro end up in a strange forest after being thrown out of number 6's domain. A strange girl called Sumire finds them and decides to keep them as pets. She calls Hanako "Gon", since Hanako didn't share his name. Later on, Hanako discovers that they're not out of number 6's domain yet. In fact, they're in the deepest parts of the domain. Sumire then takes Yashiro to bathe with her. Hanako insists on coming, not knowing that they were going for a bath. He is then called a pervert, and is forced to wait outside for the two. Meanwhile, while making small talk in the bathroom, Yashiro learns that Sumire is to be married to a beast of dome sort. When Sumire shows Yashiro a mask she had hidden from the beast, Yashiro realized it was number 6's mask. Therefore, Sumire was getting married to number 6. Sumire then begins to undress herself and Yashiro sees something on her neck. A yorishiro seal. The chapter ends on a suspenseful cliffhanger, showing that a human can also be a yorishiro.
