And it had been planted by an evil god, no less.
Feeling the pain around the mark gradually subside, Yui finally let out a long breath.
"Mm, I'm okay now..."

She tilted her head and glanced down at the Cursed Seal on her neck. It was unmistakably the evil god's mark: a circle with a triangle inside.
A light touch still sent a burning sting through her.
"Yui, that mark..." Nai Hyuga's eyes were heavy with worry.
