[RECAP]

I looked at him with a puzzled look. "Then why don't you just hand over your Yorishiro?" I scowled up at the tall man.

He looked back down at me and replied. "I could do that, but in revenge, I'll leak your embarrassing secrets over the PA system."

Yashiro and Kou let out shrieks of terror as my eyes widened in pure fear, my mouth agape as I stared blankly at Tsuchigomori. An evil and sadistic grin covered his face as he turned to us, baring all his glorious, sharp teeth out for us to see.

"Do your best to entertain me... brats."

[Your Name]'s POV:

I scowled at the tall, spider-like man as he smirked a cocky grin back at me. I watched as Yashiro dropped her head before taking a single step forward, her face determined yet nervous as she looked up at Tsuchigomori.

"H-Here I come!" She announced, her cheeks beginning to flush with embarrassment. "My secret is that... i-in junior high, I kept an exchange diary with an imaginary boyfriend!"

"Three points." Tsuchigomori cut her off instantly, smoking his pipe as he held a sign with the number three.

Yashiro displayed visual shock on her face, "Why?!"

"First, I know that much. Second, I don't care. Third..." Tsuchigomori listed off as I felt doom overcome me and Yashiro, knowing what he was about to say next. Yashiro had only ever told me about this after a lot of begging and crying. "You're lying..."

"I'm not-"

"Oh yeah?" Tsuchigomori flicked through a few of the pages of Yashiro's book. "Don't you still keep that diary? And..."

"Dear Teru-senpai, you were so handsome when you addressed the school assembly as student council president. But you really shouldn't stare at me so much. Our relationship is supposed to be a secret!"

"There was a school assembly. Everything else was a pure delusion." Tsuchigomori exposed Yashiro, firmly closing her book as he finished.

"Oof." Hanako responded, staring at Yashiro.

"You've been keeping an exchange diary with my brother, Senpai?" Kou asked the poor girl innocently.

"No!" Yashiro denied, wailing in embarrassment as she dropped to the floor in shame.

I patted her head gently in sympathy as Hanako poked her back repeatedly while Yashiro cried in distress. Kou was panicking as he cursed Tsuchigomori who was being praised as the winner by a small tower of Mokke.

"Senpai!" Kou exclaimed, worried for Yashiro before rapidly turning to glare at Tsuchigomori. "Damn it, how dare you!

"Pitiful." One of the Mokke cut in.

"You were the one who dealt the finishing blow, boy." Hanako accused Kou bluntly as I nodded my head in agreement, frowning at Kou.

"Now it's my turn!" Kou disregarded Hanako's comment, facing Tsuchigomori.

"Yeah, yeah. Go ahead." Tsuchigomori borningingly watched Kou, clearly unfazed by him.

"I... I'm... super scared of Setsubun oni masks!"

"Next."

"What gives?!" Kou shook a fist at the tall man in irritation.

Me and Hanako stood side by side as we watched the pair of the embarrassed teens—also known as Yashiro and Kou—wail in humiliation on the floor. I side glanced at Hanako who merely shrugged at me. Shaking my head I turn back to the pair.
