Then he wanted to slap himself.
Now that Honmyo Yutaro was awake, why did he need to coax the child himself?
If he'd known, why had he wasted all this time here?
Honmyo Yutaro opened his eyes, confusion in them. He looked around, his face turning deathly pale. He instinctively wanted to vomit, but when he lowered his head, he saw bodies scattered across the ground.
