Yasue: I can see how the Organization would be worried about you...
Yasue: You're stronger than I thought. But it's too soon to think you've won yet.
Yasue: Ahhn! I- I can't accept this!
''You did it, all right!!''
''...........................................''
Yasue is slumped on the floor, unconscious.
''Is she dead?''
''Of course not! She's just unconscious.''
''Then that means the case is over.''
''Mika's father is back to his normal self, the puppeteer is beaten, and Yayoi is rescued.''
''Thank you so much, Jango.''
''Grrrr...''
Without warning, Hyoko starts growling at Yayoi.
''.....??''
''What's wrong, Hyoko?''
''...She's saying...danger...something about...she is getting a bad feeling...''
''Danger...? From Yayoi?''
''From me...?''
Yayoi looks at me. I...can't understand her gaze.
I lock eyes with Yayoi for several seconds, not knowing what the nagging feeling inside me is.
''Call the animal off, please...''
''.....??''
''This beast...she's frightening me...''
''Could it be...?''
''Jango, this beast...call it off...!''
''Master...do you think...?''
''I don't know what to think right now...''
''Aaaaa...!!''
Without warning, Yayoi starts screaming.
''W- What's happening?''
''...I don't know.''
''She just started screaming, suddenly.''
''.....................................''
''What's wrong with Hyoko? She's growling even more than before...?''
''Grrrrr...!!''
Hyoko growls even more desperately at Yayoi.
Suddenly Yayoi's body starts to vibrate with some kind of energy.
An eerie, white smoke appears to come out of the girl, a side effect of the energy perhaps.
''Kyaa!!''
''W- What's happening? Is she on fire?''
''I think it's worse than that.''
''Kukuku...''
Yayoi's eyes shine with hatred and violence. The voice that comes out of her mouth was not the voice of a young girl...
...But one of a demon from the depths of hell.
The white smoke increases, making it hard to see anything in the room. We can make out Yayoi, though, changing...
''Hahaha...!!''
The evil, terrifying demon's laughter chills our hearts.
Yayoi's new appearance, as she draws herself to her full height in the center of the of the room, is quite different from her previous self.
Actually...only her hair color is the same.
Pointed ears, large fangs, sharp claws, eyes glowing with evil, wings like a bat, and covered in sinister-looking armor...
No matter how we look at it, she definitely doesn't look human.
''Master...what happened to her?''
''Don't ask me. I don't know either. Some kind of...transformation...''
''Hahaha...this is my true form. My previous form was just a disguise.''
''You're the real mastermind, aren't you...?''
''You finally figured it out. That's correct. Both Yujiro Koizumi and Yasue were just my puppets...hahahaha......!''
''You've been playing with us all along, haven't you?''
''You did everything just as I wanted you to...it was very entertaining...''
''..........................................''
''What is your real goal?''
''Goal!?...Do you really need a goal in order to do something?''
''..........................................''
''Well, if you must have an answer...I would say...to kill time. I get bored easily if there isn't any excitement around...''
''She has a strange type of energy...not human...not Hitokata...not animal either. What could it be...?''
''No, she is definitely human...''
''But I thought humans didn't have wings...''
''Mahjong can easily lead to evil...and the human mind can call out to the evil...''
''Her mind called the evil, and the evil took over both her mind and her body...''
''Oh...I see now. Hey you! Have you ever looked yourself in the mirror? You're ugly!''
''How dare you insult me! Unforgivable!''
''Now that you know my nature, playtime is over. I'm a little disappointed, but I'll make the last scene memorable.''
''Be careful everyone!''
Shikigami: ''Yes, sir!''
