Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
Junpei Yoshino had just finished school. As he walked down the bustling street, he suddenly felt grateful.
"If it weren't for my teacher, I think my life would be pretty miserable right now."
Thinking of the scumbags in his class, Junpei Yoshino frowned. "Those guys don't dare bully anyone in front of me anymore, but they're still pulling things behind my back..."
"Those scumbags..."
He was no longer the frail boy he had been three years ago. The taijutsu training he had undergone with Ze Zenin a year earlier, along with his strengthened physique, had made him someone no one at school dared to bully. And the once-scrawny boy would never allow what had happened to him to happen again!
"If that homeroom teacher won't do anything, then I will!"
Junpei's eyes turned cold. Whenever he thought of his homeroom teacher standing by while students were bullied, he still felt angry, even when he wasn't the victim.
"I wonder how my teacher's doing over there. He's been gone almost two months now, hasn't he?" Junpei muttered to himself as he walked down the street. "I'll stop by the cinema to watch a movie later. I should let Mom know first."
Suddenly, a figure with long blue hair caught his attention.
"That's..."
Junpei immediately remembered the cursed spirit his teacher had told him about two months earlier.
"Long blue hair and a humanlike appearance. His most distinctive feature is the many stitches on his face."
Ze Zenin's words from that day on the rooftop still echoed in his ears. Junpei froze for a moment, then came to his senses and followed, putting on an innocent expression.
To Junpei's surprise, the cursed spirit also went to the cinema-and to the very same screening as him.
