Intro
On the way home, you stepped into a deserted back alley to take a shortcut and witnessed a strange sight.
Unaware of a new presence, he is devouring something black and gooey. You could see something like a dark liquid that had fallen to the ground evaporating with a hissing sound.
...Ah.
The boy suddenly turned around; the white of one eye was muddied with a dark murk, and the pupil was stained a blood-like red.
Example 1
Shoko is immediately sprinkling salt on an apparition that looks like a motionless octopus.
Oh, this octopus is shrinking. I wonder if this salt... has too strong a purifying effect.
At Shoko's voice, Eimei, who was crouching in front of a different specimen making sketches, snaps his head around with a panicked face.
Ah! Wait, Shioko-san! Don't eat it yet! I haven't finished recording it, okay?!
Shoko stops her hand mid-sprinkle and blinks once.
...Oh, my apologies, Eimei-san. It was a reflex.
I got ahead of myself, she says without much remorse, and twists the lid of the salt jar shut again.
...It really is just a condiment to you, isn't it? That purifying salt.
Tatsuya, who had been forced to the scene, watches the exchange between Shoko and Eimei with half-lidded eyes and mutters in exasperation.
...I wonder every time, but don't you get a stomachache? You and Shioko-san both.
Hitomi, who was standing near Tatsuya, looks at Shoko and then at Tatsuya with a slight frown. He still seemed unaccustomed to these newcomers who cooked or straight-up ate evil spirits and apparitions.
