Grim'S Descendants
Chapter 25's
After Ayano calms back down, Ryuto takes Ayano out, they meet Megumi and Jirou who are indeed from the beginning outside along with the ghost of the girl neighboring Ryuto. They gathered in the middle room that was already half destroyed.
“Senpai, why senpai can be together with the ghost of the girl ?” Ryuto asked as he pointed towards the ghost standing between Jirou and himself.
“I found him in the old school building, he was pacing back and forth there, so I knew I could see him, he approached me and his mouth moved, I immediately looked for Megumi who could hear the ghostly voice and asked her to listen to her words. Megumi said everything the ghost said to me, which is why I brought you here.” Jirou.
“So....Megumi-senpai does not hurt?” Ask Ayano.
“Sorry Aya-chan, I am not sick..I went home first to prepare for your arrival..” Answer Megumi.
“Sorry, but we must be clear, because what we will do after this is not playing and requires compactness.” Jirou.
“I understand....Aya-chan also understood, didn't Aya-chan ?” Ryuto asked while looking at Ayano.
Ayano did not reply, she just turned her head and nodded looking at Ryuto. Chiyo came to bring drinks and snacks provided by Megumi before her into the living room. After that, then,
“Sorry Aya-chan, there's still something I don't understand, why did you do that to Asaba-san ?” Ask Megumi.
“I see the future, in the next few months, he will disturb us, preferably in the first place from now.” Answer Ayano.
But actually, because after yesterday's incident with sensei, Shiori intensely approached Ryuto and made Ayano jealous, but she didn't say it because of her personal reasons.
“I understand, but torturing such a person is not good, please next time use a more subtle way.” Reply Jirou.
“Tadi Jirou-senpai said, don't tell Keiko-senpai and Hige, what's the reason for senpai ?” Ask Ryuto.
“Same as I told Megumi earlier, because they are ordinary humans who happen to be involved and have a sense to six.” Answer Jirou.
“Indeed Megumi-san is not an ordinary human being?” Ask Ryuto.
“Yes, he said he can't see ghosts right ? although you can hear and feel.” Ayano.
Megumi fell silent, she turned to Jirou who nodded at her, finally Megumi told her.

Megumi comes from a family of ghost exterminators and other unseen things that interfere as her business. One day a man came to see his family, he was a lecturer at a famous university in the city of Solem. The lecturer is a specialist in occult and mystery research, he said that the archaeology division at the university where he taught, he said, found a large lucky stone shaped like an egg buried under the temple complex outside the city of Solem. The stone is shaped like an egg filled with writing like a spell whose language is not understood.
The lecturer's request was because he was tasked to investigate the large egg-shaped stone, he asked the Megumi family to accompany him because if there were problems with occult things, they could overcome them. Finally Megumi's family approved her, papa and her mother immediately left with the lecturer, while Megumi who was then 7 years old lived at home with Chiyo who took care of her. A few months later, there was news that papa and his mother went missing with a lecturer who was researching at the temple complex site outside the city of Solem. His uncle and aunt and the rest of the family went to investigate, but none returned.
A year later, after Megumi was 8 years old, papa arrived and her mother came home, Megumi was very happy and happy to see her father and mother come home safe and sound. But just a month from their return, Megumi's house was visited by a knight-clad man complete with a helmet so that his face was not visible and his body was covered in a reddish black shadow, he immediately attacked, some of the guards and guards guarding the house died because their spirits were taken and swallowed by the man. Papa and Mama Megumi fight to the death against her, while Megumi in a chiyo underground, where they usually perform rituals.
The knight-clothed man followed Megumi into the basement and fought Chiyo. As the man is stronger, Chiyo is pushed back and retreats but she keeps fighting to protect Megumi, eventually Megumi breaks the ban on her papa and mama, he went to the altar and unrolled the paper scroll located on the altar. As soon as the scroll opened, a large black cat with sharp teeth, spiked back and had a forked tail with blue flame at the ends of both tails, stood in front of Megumi.
Megumi who was shocked and very frightened, became unconscious limp. After a few hours he was unconscious,
“Ojou-chan....ojou-chan Someone picked me up and called her.
Megumi opened her eyes slowly, she saw Chiyo with a face full of blood was on her lap while smiling at her look. Megumi looked around, she turned out to be far away from the altar and at the place where Chiyo was fighting the knight-clothed man.
“Chiyo-baba....aku....why ?” Ask Megumi.
Chiyo recounts that Megumi turned into a giant cat called a nekomata (cat spirit) and helped him drive the man dressed in black knight away. After Megumi was fully conscious, the two of them returned upstairs, Megumi found her father and mother lying in front of her house in a state of lifelessness. Megumi cried as soon as she did and roared, Chiyo could only stand behind her while looking down and stroking Megumi's back. After that, because of the help of good neighbors to the Megumi family, he held a funeral for his parents. At the funeral he meets Yae and Jirou's older siblings who come with their parents because of their fellow family of ghost hunters and always work together.

Ryuto who heard Megumi's story thought, the incident that happened to Megumi's family was two years earlier than what happened to him, then he asked Megumi, and he asked Megumi,
“Anoo Megumi-san, may you know who is the name of the lecturer who came to your house first ?” Ask Ryuto.
“Um..I don't remember, but maybe Chiyo-baba remembers, try asking for a minute.” Answer Megumi who stood up and walked out of the room.
“Why senpai, how do you ask like that ?” Ask Ayano.
“Hmm don't don't get in touch yeah...” Jirou.
“I don't know...but the incident that happened to Megumi-san happened earlier than the incident that befell my family....I'm just curious..” Ryuto.
Soon, Megumi returned to the room and sat down again.
“I've asked, her first name baba forgot, but she remembers her surname, her name is Yomihara..” Megumi.
“Yomi...hara Ryuto's face immediately pale when he heard the name mentioned by Megumi.
Ayano and Jirou saw Ryuto's reaction and change in face, Ayano immediately held Ryuto's hand.
“Senpai ?” Ask Ayano.
“What's Ryuto ?” Ask Jirou.
“Ti...no....it's okay Answer Ryuto.
Ryuto is very familiar with the name, because before being adopted by Yamishiba-sensei or the real one is Ayano in disguise, Ryuto's real surname is Yomihara from Yomi-mura village. Ryuto thinks hard, because there is a possibility that the lecturer who came to Megumi's house is his papa.
