As Shizuku's sword pierced through him, the crazed middle-aged man died instantly, and the woman was finally rescued. Afterward, she introduced herself to Shizuku and Onda Risa—according to her, she was a teacher at the school named Takao Reiko. She had originally taken her student, Yomoda Harumi, outside the elementary school to watch a once-in-a-century celestial event, but like Onda Risa, they had encountered an earthquake and terrifying noises afterward. Frightened, the two of them had returned to the school to take shelter.
Takao Reiko had wanted to find the principal and ask for help, but she had never expected the entire school to be filled with those horrible monsters. In fact, the middle-aged man Shizuku had just killed was the principal. He had originally been a very kind man who cared deeply for his students, but Takao Reiko had never imagined he would become like this.
Afterward, the group found Yomoda Harumi, who had been hiding in the library on the second floor. Along the way, Takao Reiko told Shizuku about what had happened to her.
"...You said you can switch perspectives and see through those monsters' eyes?"
Shizuku narrowed her eyes and stared at Takao Reiko, who nodded.
"Yes. As long as I close my eyes, it seems I can sense where those people are. Then, like switching camera angles, I can see where they are, what they're looking at, what they're doing... It's as if I'm seeing the world through their eyes."
"Me too..."
Onda Risa raised her hand as well.
"That was how I noticed someone was approaching us earlier."
"I see."
Shizuku nodded. Then, after pondering for a moment, she looked at the two of them seriously.
"But honestly, I wouldn't advise you to use that ability too often."
"Why?"
Takao Reiko looked rather surprised
