...Earlier, I saw Byakuren and one of her followers

entering this mansion... what was that about?

...There really is no hiding things from you, is there, Akane-san?

That day... Byakuren showed up unannounced

and put it bluntly, right in front of me.

Sure, the gap between humans and youkai is shrinking... I realize that too.

But! As a Hieda, there's no way I can allow Byakuren to stand in the vanguard!

And yet, I can't say a thing... It's so infuriating...!
