[The scene changes. ]

[Mari sits on a chair and looks at the hair salon. ]

[Once, that was Mari's dream. ]

[Mari Sonoda: "Eh???"]

[Inui Takumi: "Yeah, why did you give up your dream? I said I would protect it!"]

[Masato Kusaka: "Huh! It must be because of you that Mari gave up!"]

[At this time, Kusaka handed over a canned drink. ]

[Mari took it and Kusaka sat next to Mari. ]

["Inui Takumi is really an incredible man!"]

[Kusaka seems to have changed his personality and actually started to praise Takumi. 】

[“Even though he has disappeared for many years, I still cannot forget him…”]

[Qian Qiao: “He is not praising me at all, is he? He is just jealous of me!”]

[“You also believe… Qian Qiao is still alive, right?”]

[Souka looked at Mari and asked. 】

[“One of the reasons why you started protecting Orphnoch…”]

[“It is possible that I will meet Qian again one day…”]

[“Right!”]

[Souka has completely seen through Mari’s mind. 】

[Qian Qiao: "Because of me..."]

[Kaidou Naoya: "But, if what No. 3 said before was correct, Qian should be...dead now..."]

[Kimura Saya: "Qian is such a gentle person...how can 17 die!"]

["I don't quite understand..."]

["But..."]

["The figure of Qiao that I saw last time can't be erased from my mind..."]

[Mari recalls. ]

[The scene changes. ]

[That day. ]

["What's wrong? Qiao, are you burned?"]

[Mari saw Qiao suddenly looking at her hand and asked in a strange way. ]

[Mari tied her hair into a single ponytail at this time and looked much younger. ]

["Sorry, sorry!"]

[Qiao reacted and said quickly. 】

[“It seems I can’t work in the dry cleaning shop anymore…”]

[At this time, sand and dust began to fall from Qiaoye’s hands, just like the flower shape at the beginning. 】

[“Swish~”]

[Sand and dust kept falling on the clothes, staining the washed clothes with a layer of stains. 】

[“Ding!”]

[Zhen Li put down the things in his hands, saw the changes in Qiaoye’s hands, and lowered his head in silence. 】

[“This will dirty the clothes…”]

[Qiaoye whispered. 】

[Then, Qiaoye resolutely turned around. 】

[“Qiao! Where are you going?”]

[Zhen Li hurriedly chased after him. 】

[“Huangdang!”]

[“Take a short walk!”]

[Qiaoye untied the apron on his body. 】

[“Then… I’ll go too!”]

[Mari is worried about Takuya’s current state. 】

[“I refuse!”]

[“You should go for a walk alone!”]

[Takuya, just like Hanagata, senses that his death is near. 】

[“Then, then…”]

[Mari stands in front of Takuya. 】

[“Buy some mayonnaise when you come back!”]

[Mari wants Takuya to promise that he will come back. 】

[After all, Takuya has always been very depressed and doesn’t like to talk about things. 】

[“Because I’m making okonomiyaki today!”]

[“Okay, if I’m in a good mood…”]

[Takuya makes a promise. 】

[“Kacha~”]

[“That’s the last time I saw Takumi…”]

[Mari remembers watching Takumi’s back. 】

[Naoya Kaido: “Is he dead?”]

[Yuji Kiba: “It’s hard to say. President Hanagata also held on for quite some time!”]

[Masato Kusaka: “How can you compare Qian with Dad?!”]

[Saya Kimura: “How dare you say that! Kusaka! It was you who forced Dad to death! Dad was supposed to see us for the last time at that time!”]

[Masato Kusaka: “At that time, Saya, you were already dead!”]

[Saya Kimura: “Tsk!”]

[“But… Takumi’s figure is getting smaller and smaller…”]

[The scene changes. 】

[Time returns to the present. 】

[“I’m here!”]

[Kusaka looks at Mari firmly and makes a promise. 】

[Kusaka will betray anyone, but she will never betray Mari. 】

[Kusaka Masato: “Humph! Of course!”]

[Sonoda Mari: “I don’t want to be Soka’s mother!”]

[Kurama Neon: “Forgive me for laughing so immorally~ Hahaha~”]

[Kikuchi Keitaro: “Sure enough, Soka is weird!”]

[Kagami Arata: “In my opinion, they are all weird!”]

[Misaki Yuzuki: “I think Kagami, you are also a weirdo!”]

[“Always… by your side!”]

[“Yeah!”]

[Mari nodded in a depressed mood. 】

[At this time, Soka was drinking a drink, and Mari unconsciously leaned her head on Soka’s shoulder. 】

[Masato Kusaka: "Mari! Choosing me is the right choice!"]

[Mari Sonoda: "No way? I really don't want to become Kusaka's mother!"]

[Yuji Kiba: "It's really strange... I thought Miss Mari was going to get married..."]

[Keitaro Kikuchi: "She must be waiting for Qiao!"]

[Yuka Nagata: "It's really touching, Miss Mari, you can stick to it for so long!"]

[ScreenTurn around. 】

["Buzz buzz buzz~"]

[Hisuo is riding his bike to deliver ramen takeaway. 】

[At this time, an old lady stops on the zebra crossing. 】

[A truck suddenly drives over. 】

["Ah!"]

["Danger!"]

[Hisuo sees this and quickly transforms into Orphnoch and jumps towards the old lady. 】

["Woo woo woo~"]

[The truck quickly honks its horn. 】

[At this time, Hisuo rushes in and takes the old lady away, not forgetting to cover her eyes when she turns her head. 】

["Ah!"]

["Sensation!"]

["Are you okay? Grandma!"]

[Hisuo quickly transforms back into human form and asks. 】

[Karizaki George: "I have a bad feeling. According to the man called a demon, this is very dangerous!"]

[Igarashi Sakura: "Eh? Where is the danger?"]

[Kido Haruka: "He is not very 967, okay? After that, I met Taro again!"]

[Karizaki George: "Hehe~ Think about the situation of Kotoko and the others~"]

[Anamoto: "Are you talking about me, the savior of love~"]

[Aso Yuri: "Just shut up!"]

[Anamoto: "I...? Are you talking about Miss Fukao?"]

["It's okay! It's okay!"]

[The old lady nodded and said. ]

[Seeing this, Hisao quickly took the old lady's things and helped her up. 】

["Grandma!"]

["Thank you so much!"]

["It's okay, it's okay..."]

["Thank you so much!"]

["Thank you so much!"]

["I'll leave first!"]

[Kyufu was afraid that the truck driver had seen his Orphnoch form, so he drove away in a hurry. 】

["Buzz~"]

[Just after Kyufu left, the old lady suddenly took out her cell phone. 】

["Beep beep~"]

[After some operation, the projection of the new Smart Lady appeared. 】

[“Beep~”]

[“Hi~ This is Smart Brain Comprehensive Reception Center~”]

[Mari Sonoda: “What is this?”]

[Yuji Kiba: “How disgusting…”]

[Haruka Kito: “Good people don’t get rewarded?”]

[George Karizaki: “Sure enough… This is what the man called a demon would do!”]

[Welcome: “I can’t stand it… This is simply disgusting!”]
