Summer evenings always seem to carry an enchanting palette of colors.
The slightly deep yet romantic clouds, set against the backdrop of purple and red sunset glow, are ethereally bright and resplendent like a burning fire.
On the second floor study of Arakawa's detached house.
Because Satoru is still sleeping, the room feels a bit empty.
On the desk, there's a laptop and a cup of iced drink, even a plate of freshly cut watermelon still releasing cold vapor; Kamiyagawa is engrossed in his studies.
He is studying the theoretical part of the Joyous Spirit Technique, which he has been self-teaching for a while now, and he feels like he's starting to get a grasp on the related theoretical content.
While focusing on his studies, Kamiyagawa suddenly senses the stirring of a strong, eerie spirit energy in the room.
Turning his head, he sees the shadowy corner of the study where a robust and majestic beastly figure slowly stands upright.
"Woof."
It's Inugami.
