[LostBlue]

After ending the call with Oishi and stepping outside the phone booth, at that moment.
.........Chills ran down my spine, as I finally came to realize this.

In this darkness, I was standing in a phone booth that stood out tremendously.

There’s no way that nobody didn’t see me.

No, not that nobody didn’t see me, I was seen.

From the darkness, they steadily stared at me with their glowing eyes...
.........there was no way they were human.
An illusion? No. I already know their identity.
......They are in the true sense, the ones who control the Gosanke who rule Hinamizawa.

The level of their eyes are low, ......the vague outline I see were feeble.
......true, it is clear from past records that they are physically frail.

That silhouette which indicated their nonhuman form, was unbelievable unrealistic.
...especially the silhouette of their head was unusual, as there was something protruding, it clearly was not human.

......Their outward appearance, were detailed in one of the scrapbooks I received from Miyo-san.

......Their eyeballs were pure red like blood, ...their bodies smelled of ammonia, ......and in the past, throughout the world they were captured on several occasions, yet......all melted and disappeared, leaving no trace behind.

......what did remained, was the certainty of their “descent”.........

At that moment, that impossible unrealistic silhouette took as step closer..., gently making a real sound.

That sound was brutally realistic, and pulled me back to reality.

“d, ......don’t come closer, you monster!!”

rustle, crack, grattle rattle rattle!!

The gravel on the road, erupt, flying every where, and making a bizarre sound.

Moreover, it gradually chased after me.
......driven by my fear I once again use the same words out of my mouth.

And then this time, the glass door to the phone booth I was just in, started to rattle and shake, BANG!

BANG!

and as if being struck, these monstrous sounds began.

I gave a scream which sounded like tearing silk, and darted.

And after running to the point my lungs felt like exploding, I turn around..... I notice that the jarring presence was no longer there.

............Was I mistaken.........?

There was no way I was mistaken, I definitely heard that sound which kicked up the gravel, that monstrous sound that rattled the phone booth!!

But calm down Ryuuguu Rena...!
......even if you were mistaken, right now settle down your heart.

......either way, ...eventually you will have to fight them.
...The next time they appear, strike back at them... Squash that head with your massive hatchet...! I will protect Hinamizawa, this is my duty. ...I will not allow them to do what they want... !!

scratch scratch scratch scratch... ... scratch scratch scratch scratch.
