Miwa Riona had died, leaving not even a body behind. Her father, Miwa Yuto, was so devastated that he fell ill and became bedridden.

"My condolences."
"Thank you."
It seemed to be the first time Miwa Chisei had stood on Miwa Riona's side, though it would also be the last.
The group from Jujutsu High did not hurry to leave. They simply took their
