"Now, move aside!"
Tsurumi Aoi wielded her bamboo sword like a slender yet fierce lynx baring its sharp teeth.
Her imposing presence indeed forced the crowd to step back.
This somewhat sullen girl had just finished today's training at her uncle's sword dojo, and did not expect to encounter such a matter on her way home.
She couldn't understand why these passersby at the platform were so indifferent to the girl seeking death.
Indeed, Tsurumi Aoi was also affected by the Eight Part Curse.
Whenever she saw Tsubota Harumi, an inexplicable fear and disgust arose within her heart.
It was as if approaching her would bring misfortune.
However, this was a human life at stake; should they just watch as she's torn apart by the train?
Tsurumi Aoi's action of pulling Tsubota Harumi away from the edge of the platform was done instinctively, faster than her own mind could process.
The Time of the Monkey might understand human nature.
