ZEP'S MOM- (bows towards Zack) Thank you, Zack. For saving my daughter again!!!

ZACK- Ah!!! No need to bow, Mam!! You are older than me!!! This doesn't suit you!!

ZEP'S MOM- (stands up) Zep told me that you got encountered by a demon

ZACK- Umm yea, 2 days back, I got encountered

ZEP'S MOM- It means my grandmother was right. Demons exist in real

ZACK- Sorry?

ZEP'S MOM- My grandmother used to tell me a story about a man who got demonic power from a demon tree. 

ZACK- (in a hurry) Can you tell me about the story?

ZEP'S MOM- It was very lengthy. But if you are interested, you can have that book from where my grandmother used to tell me.

ZACK- Sure mam

*Zep's Mom went upstairs and came back with the book. *

ZEP'S MOM- The book is ancient now. Do you know how to read Hiragana?

ZACK- A little bit, but I will try to read.

ZEP'S MOM- Okay, you may go upstairs. 

ZACK- Sorry?

*Zep came downstairs*

ZEP- Yep, you will be living here!!

ZACK- Huh??

ZEP'S MOM- She told me that you lost your parents. So, you can live here.

ZACK- (humbly) It's fine........you guys don't need to worry about me. I will manage.

ZEP- (with a pleasing smile) Please???

ZACK- Ok??

ZEP- Yay!!!!!!

*Zep pulled Zack by her hands and took him upstairs to her room. *

ZEP- Welcome to my room ^^

ZACK- (o.o) You have a pretty room. But all pink?

ZEP- Yea, I like pink a lot hehe

ZACK- I know that you like pink, but never thought that you like that much pink

ZEP- Hehe. Nevermind, lemme complete my journal. What are you gonna do?

ZACK- I need to read this book. Maybe, it will give me a hint of that demon who killed my parents.

ZEP- Oh, this one? I tried to read, but I don't know Hiragana

ZACK- It's okay, I know a little bit. Lemme try reading it

ZEP- Okay

*While Zep was completing her journal, Zack tried to read that old book. The book was handwritten, which made Zack reading a bit difficult. *

ZEP- Phew (looks towards Asahi) You are done reading?

ZACK- Almost

ZEP- What does it say?

ZACK- This book tells about 8 types of ghouls, which Rohan hinted to me once. 

1) Blood Ghoul- Uses blood as a weapon, that's me
2) Scale Ghoul- Uses dead cells as a weapon, that's Rohan
3) Bone Ghoul- Uses bones as a demon

ZEP- Eww, that looks like a zombie

ZACK- (giggles) Haha, kind of

4) Normal Ghoul- similar to zombies, but having more appetite than a normal zombie
5) Healer Ghoul- They can't fight, but they can heal humans as well as demons
6) Nerve Ghoul- Uses their nerves as a weapon, which are said to be razor-sharp
7) Shadow Ghoul- Extreme fast ghouls, possessing shadow power
8) Mind Ghoul- They have the power to control the mind of others, they are the rarest in all ghouls
