NAKU JOSEI'S
JUST A START

On the other hand, in the state of a speeding car, Nori-san attempted to contact Yoshino-san and Aunt Miyako to tell the two of them about the thing she just knew.

First he called Yoshino-san, but his phone rang in his bedroom, while Yoshino-san himself was sitting alone in the Temple with his entire body already flushed by gasoline.

Not getting any response from Yoshino-san, Nori-san then contacted Miyako's aunt. His phone rang while he was driving down the road, but he ignored the incoming call.

Nadeshiko and Aoi's grandmother stare in confusion towards Miyako's aunt.

"Mother ... Your phone is ringing!" reproof Aoi.

"Miyako, what's wrong? Why didn't you answer the call?" ask grandma.

All of their words were both ignored by Aunt Miyako. His face looked extremely pale, his arms trembled, and the gaze in his eyes was extremely blank. This made my grandmother nervous.

"Miyako! Say something! You're making us both so scared!" granny snapped while clasping Aoi's hand.

All the calls made by Nori-san were ignored. It made his heart become uneasy. He began to remember the words of Chiou-sama while they were in the temple library.

"... Nori-san, it's not over yet; it's all just the beginning!"

"Damn.. shit...siaal!" annoyed; he cursed while lashing his own thighs. "Why would not one of them answer ?" Restless, Nori-san sped up the speed of her car.

At that moment, bad things happened. The monks who had noticed the smell of gasoline immediately ran towards the door of the temple. They tried to open the door, but it was locked.

"Yoh-yoshino-san!" muttered one of the monks there who was peering inside through the cracks of the window.

they all shouted to stop the action that Yoshino-san was about to take, but it was all for naught. Then they tried to break down the door, but it was too late.

Yoshino-san lit a match, then started burning her own body. He screamed and screamed in pain. Gasoline that soaked the entire room made the fire spread quickly to all parts of the temple.

At the same time, Nadeshiko and Aoi's grandmother look terrified as Miyako's aunt begins to lose control. Grandma yelled at him to stop the car, but he did not respond.

Shortly after, Aunt Miyako turned her face toward Grandma, with a frightened face and tears streaming down her cheeks, she said, "Mother. Help me ...."

Then suddenly he slammed the steering wheel to the left and crashed his car into a roadblock. Their car broke through the barrier and plunged freely into a very deep abyss.

Jack's phone rang while he was playing the game.

"Nori-san?"

"Hey ... how are you?" greet Jack.

"Jack! Listen to me carefully!" nori-san suddenly.

"Eh?"

"Listen ... This is about the demon we sealed that day. It may be very confusing and hard to believe, but .. we haven't sealed it yet!"

"W-what do you mean? I don't understand ...."

At a sharp turn, Nori-san slammed the steering wheel and drove away quickly.

"I understand if you're feeling confused right now. So ... listen carefully, I'll explain everything right now!"

"Well ...," replied Jack calmly.

"It's about Yuki. Believe it or not, it seemed like the demon had possessed his body!"

"What?!"

"Listen ... Do you remember the great monk we met in Kaze village?"

"Yes ...."

"He's dead. I just met her little sister, she explained everything about what really happened. That demon ...he's still there, and now he's inside Yuki's body!" nori-san.

Hearing that, Jack's facial expression changed, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

"Wait a minute, this is too sudden! I-I don't understand! I mean ... how can it be?!" jack asked confusedly.

"I don't know how he did it either, but right now you have to follow all my instructions! Your life could be in danger! I already called Miyako and Yoshino-san, but none of them answered my call. I'm starting to get nervous and worried about their current state, and-"

"No-nori-san ...," Jack stammered.

"What's wrong? Listen to me, as much as possible you should keep your distance from Yuki until I get there. Maybe the day after tomorrow or the next three days I'll be there soon."

"I know that, but ...."

"What else?! Is all my explanation not enough?! Okay ... Tell me, where are you now?" ask Nori-san.

"Jack ...."

Jack was shocked when Yuki suddenly called out to him from behind. Yuki walked towards her with a cup of hot chocolate.

"Who called you? It seems like it sounds serious," asked Yuki.

"Ah .. is nothing. Just my old schoolmate" replied Jack with a face that started to sweat.

"Did he listen to all my words?" inner Jack.

"Hallo's? Jack! Who'sis that? Who are you talking to?!" nori-san asked on the phone.

Jack slowly disconnected the phone and put his phone in his pants pocket.

"Connection disconnected?" it was Nori-san who then called him back.

Jack pulled out his phone again. Seeing the incoming call from Nori-san, he instantly turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.

"Died off? Shit!" sumpat Nori-san; hit the steering wheel of the car.

"What's up, Jack? Why not answer?" ask Yuki, curious.

"Ah ... doesn't really matter" Jack replied again with a fake smile on his face.

"How's this? What am I supposed to do now?" jack's mind is restless.

Afraid that the thing Nori-san said was true, Jack tried to remain calm and behave naturally in front of Yuki. He took the hot chocolate that Yuki had placed on the table, then drank it to the end.

"Hey .. It's still hot. How can you drink it that fast, doesn't your tongue blister? hihi," Yuki said with a small laugh.

"That's it .. probably because it's too good that I can't stop drinking it" Jack replied, smiling.

The two of them looked at each other, and before long Yuki brought her face closer to Jack. She intends to kiss him, but Jack stops her.

"What's wrong?"

"Sorry ... Yuki's. Actually I have one question for you," said Jack.

Yuki back off. "What's that?"

"Since our first day back from Japan, what have you been doing all this time?' ask Jack.

"none. I was just isolating myself inside this apartment," Yuki replied.

"Then ... Why isn't your car in the parking lot? There's not even anything around this apartment building."

"Eeemm .. when my car broke down, so I called a tow truck to take it to the workshop" Yuki explained.

"Which workshop?" ask Jack again, curious.

"Is that important?" Yuki looked at Jack's face deeply.

"Ah, no. Forget it ...," said Jack, turning his body straight ahead.

For a moment, they both fell silent. The atmosphere at that moment became a little tense for Jack. Slowly Yuki took out a knife from behind her shirt, and when Jack turned his head towards her ....

"You want apples?" bargain Yuki who looks to be peeling the skin of the apple using the knife.

Jack took a deep breath and got up from his seat.

"Yuki .. I think I should get back to the office" Jack said.

"Eh ...."

"You remember the guy who just called me? He's Lukas my office friend. It seems like there are some things I have to do tonight as well" Jack explained while wearing his jacket.

"But .. Didn't you just say that the person who called you was your old schoolmate?"

"Eh? has he? A-ahahaha .. y-yeah because Lukas was my old school friend.hehe," said Jack, nervous.

"Are you sure you want to go now?" ask Yuki.

"Of course ... What's up?"

Yuki shook her head. "All right then."

Jack walked towards the exit and tried to open it, but the door could not open.

"Is the door locked?" his inner.

Jack turned his face towards Yuki, and Yuki who was standing straight looked at him from the direction of the sofa with a very strange smile. Slowly Yuki walked up to Jack. He pulls the key out of his pocket and opens the door for Jack.

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other, then Jack said, "Alright .. I go first, Yuki."

"Yeah .. goodbye, Jack," Yuki said, waving.

Jack went to the elevator and went down to the ground floor. With a thought filled with question marks, he walked into his car and left as soon as possible from that place.

"It is impossible ... Yuki is that demon? Can't be trusted! If it was true that he was Naku Josei, he must have finished me off at the apartment earlier," Jack wondered.

His heart began to waver, and a terrible feeling began to be felt. After a few minutes Jack was driving, his head began to feel dizzy and his vision blurred; his stomach was very painful and his breathing was panting.

"What's this about? I have to stop .. I can't drive properly. Damnit damnit! My stomach ... hurts so much." Jack stopped the car and got out.

"Someone, please .. help me. Pain ... It hurts so much!" Holding his stomach in pain, Jack tried to scream, but the sound coming out of his mouth sounded very slow.

Not a single person was seen on those deserted streets. He was alone, walking without a clear direction.

On the other hand, Yuki is seen sitting on the sofa smiling; recalling when he mixed botulinum poison into the hot chocolate that Jack drank out.

Meanwhile, Jack's condition worsens as he begins to vomit blood. Jack tries to turn on his phone to contact someone who can help him, but his shaky legs make his balance go away. He also fell on the paved road. His eyes widened, his body convulsed, and a lot of foam began to come out from inside his mouth.

There was nothing Jack could do at the time but give up the circumstances. She begins to hallucinate and sees flashbacks of herself; about her friends, her parents, and all her relatives, as well as about Yuki who has made her fall in love.

Finally that very night, at 9:05 PM ... Jack Addison breathed his last, and slept forever.
