Until the next morning, Tsurumi Aoi still hadn't figured out what exactly she saw in her dream last night.
But she felt it was definitely not just a mere dream.
After dawn, Tsurumi Aoi got ready and left home.
At the apartment elevator, she encountered the old man from next door holding his pet dog.
"Up so early, young lady?" The old man chuckled as he said to Tsurumi.
"Good morning." She responded politely.
It was normal for familiar neighbors to greet each other.
After exiting the elevator, seeing the neighbor grandpa walking his pet dog away, Tsurumi was almost certain that the "thing" that followed her from the Otemachi platform was indeed gone.
"Is it because of Lord Daikokuten's blessing, or..."
Was it due to the figures she saw in her dream last night?
Tsurumi Aoi was unsure.
Upon leaving the apartment, she intended to take the train to Edogawa Ward for school.
But before reaching the station, she received a phone call from her father.
