Tokyo Prefecture.

Yayoi Amemiya and Uzuki Takahashi got off the train and went to Setagaya district.

The sky garden of the tallest building belongs to only one person today.

"Ding"

After the elevator door opened, the two of them saw the person they had made an appointment with on the train at a glance - Uzuki Takahashi.

Ibuki Yuzuru received two calls from unknown sources, and the only person who could easily find this kind of information in Japan was the Eldest Young Lady of the Takahashi Zaibatsu.

"Please sit down." Although Takahashi Uzuki was smiling, Yayoi Amemiya was a bit unfamiliar with his calm voice.

In her previous impression, Takahashi Uzuki should have jumped over and put his arms around her neck the moment the elevator door opened.

But today's Takahashi Uzuki is extraordinarily mature and reserved.

"I couldn't make it clear on the phone, can you repeat your request?" Uzuki Takahashi asked.

Ibuki Yuxian bowed his head a little embarrassedly and said, "It's me... I want to look up a number, can you find out who the owner of this number is?"

Takahashi Uzuki smiled and nodded to the waiter beside him. The waiter stretched out his hand and said to Ibuki Yuzuru, "Please tell me the number you need to check."

Ibuki Yuzuru quickly told her that after the waiter left, Ibuki Yuzuru said to Takahashi Uzuki, "Thank you, Miss Takahashi."

"It's nothing, this kind of thing is not too much trouble for me," Takahashi Uzuki glanced at the two of them, "You seem to have traveled far."

"Yes." Yayoi Amemiya didn't hide this, but she didn't say where she went, because it was Ibuki Yuzuru's private matter, and it was not her turn to speak.

"Maybe... can you tell me what's worth checking on that phone number?" Uzuki Takahashi asked curiously.

Ibuki Youxian glanced left and right, Takahashi Uzuki understood what she meant, sent the surrounding waiters back, nodded and said, "You can talk."

"Actually... the first time I entered the Peach Mountain Kabuki Theater, I received that call, and then yesterday, I received that call again, saying that my mother came to see me," Yibuki Yuxian did not hide Gao What Hashi Uzuki means, perhaps in her opinion, Takahashi Uzuki is trustworthy, "But when we returned to the agreed place, Miss Yayoi and I were trapped in the world of my memory. In that world, I almost became a ghost. Fortunately, at the last moment...the Kagura mask appeared on the face..."

Ibuki Youxian said it in great detail, but Takahashi Uzuki didn't seem to have expected that she would reveal it to such an extent, she lowered her head to think for a moment, and asked, "You mean, the kagura you used at the sacrificial banquet. Does the mask appear in the real world?"

Ibuki Yuzuru shook his head: "I don't know if that is the real world, it is the world in my memory, but... I can indeed control its appearance."

"What about now? Can it be done?" Uzuki Takahashi thought of Tengu. When he was in the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara, the biggest reason he could escape from being surrounded by tall tree ghosts was that Tengu threw his mask.

If Ibuki's stringed mask also has an incredible function, then others will be much safer when she performs tasks together at festivals in the future.

However, this question made Ibuki Yuzuru stunned. In the real world... can masks appear?

Her eyes were blank and she whispered, "I... I can only try."

Yayoi Amemiya also seemed very curious, her eyes fixed on Yuzuru Ibuki's face.

Ibuki Yuzuru took a nervous breath, closed his eyes, and then... his left hand slowly brushed his face.

In an instant!

A pair of white masks with red fire patterns on the cheeks and around the eyes quietly appeared!

Takahashi Uzuki and Yayoi Amemiya looked at this weird scene in surprise, she could... really do it!

However, at this time, what Ibuki Yuzuru himself felt was another scene.

She trembled all over, and the pupils in the mask glowed with silvery white light...

She saw... some unexplainable images.

Eight people, including her, fell to the ground, and the only one standing was Qin Wenyu.

He turned his back to everyone, and in front of him... was a blood-red world.

"Mr. Qin, come back quickly!"

"You still call him!"

"He's a liar! Bastard! Devil!"

"No...the red-ranked ghosts are coming up, we have to get out of here quickly!"

"But, our... was..."

"Qin Wenyu... I will never let you go!"

"Damn it!"

Suddenly, Qin Wenyu, who had a bloody world in front of him, turned his head slightly.

His shattered hair fluttered in the foul wind, his pupils turned a strange silvery white, and he glanced at everyone slightly.

Then, without looking back, stepped into another world...

Just when Yibuki Youxian wanted to see what would happen next, she suddenly felt dizzy, and her vision blurred!

The bewildered faces of Takahashi Uzuki and Yayoi Amemiya appeared in front of my eyes.

"What did you do?" Yayoi Amemiya's voice had never been more serious.

Yi Chui Youxian was a little frightened by her appearance, just when she was about to speak, a strong sense of fatigue surged up, she felt dizzy, biting the tip of her tongue suddenly to regain consciousness.

"I... saw... a strange picture..." Yi Chui You Xian spoke, her voice was so hoarse that it was no longer presentable.

Yayoi Amemiya stopped her immediately: "Stop talking, you can't use this mask again in the future, remember."

Yibui Youxian looked at her puzzled, and opened his mouth: "Why..."

Before she finished speaking, Takahashi Uzuki's makeup mirror was handed to her.

Yibui Youxian looked at himself in the mirror, first startled, and then a strong fear surged up.

She in the mirror... her hair is half gray, wrinkles appear at the corners of her eyes, and the color of her pupils has dimmed a lot.

It's almost like...a decade older in an instant.

why?

Yibui Youxian touched his face, the skin lost a lot of elasticity, the wrinkles were real... so was the half-gray hair.

Yayoi Amemiya and Takahashi Uzuki looked at each other, and saw the seriousness and incomprehension in each other's eyes.

What did Ibuki Yuzuru see?

She suddenly aged so much, she was just like those people in the myths and legends who accidentally revealed the secret of the sky and were punished by the sky...

At this time, the waiter who had gone to look up the phone number at the beginning came back.

She was also obviously taken aback by the huge change in Ibuki Yuzuru, but her good quality made her forcibly calm down and said to Takahashi Uzuki: "Miss, that is a public telephone, it is called from a certain block in Hachioji City.come."

"Give me the specific address, and you can go down."

"Yes."

After the waiter stepped back, Takahashi Uzuki got up and said, "I'm sorry, I heard from Tengu that there is a price to pay for using a mask. I didn't expect you to just try it and the price will be so heavy. I will take responsibility."

"Yayoi, take her to my private hospital with me for a comprehensive examination."

Ibuki Yuzuru wanted to refuse, but at this moment she was too weak to say anything unnecessary.

"Okay." Yayoi Amemiya agreed.

The two left the sky garden with Ibuki Yuzuru, one left and one right.

At this moment, Ibuki Yuzuru was still recalling the incomprehensible pictures he had just seen.

Could it be that...is that the future...
