Kazuma tells her to just ignore that creep and that she has her brother here waiting for her he reassures her that if Matsumoto ever lays his hands on Yuri he'll kill him saying so he yells out saying Aura and Yuri bursts out laughing she joyfully says that her brother is very cool ever since yri was little she was a girl that smiled a lot and also cried a lot but even while crying had Kazuma offered his hand to her she would take and hold it with a smile she was kazuma's one Irreplaceable sister he thought

they were going to be together forever but one fateful day he had to Bear witness of her lifeless body handing from a rope tied to the curtain pole she had hung herself in her room closing the curtains shut in complete darkness Kazuma snaps back to the present as his mother asks if he is okay getting no reply she proposes to go back she apologizes to him for rushing him around and mentions that she has to go to her workplace a bit this evening she adds that they will come back to visit her back soon while

walking back as Kazuma remains standing seeing him stand silently and having a tense expression she lets him know that no matter what the world says she didn't think it was kazuma's fault however killing someone for any reason is wrong she says that they must make amends for the crime of making that daughter miserable on the topic she mentions that she is currently working at an orphanage its name is isimo she admits that she wanted to tell him about it properly meanwhile Kazuma thinks about the little girl he saw at the house of the man he

killed and the misery he brought upon her suddenly mom exclaims and says that she left the incense sticks at the grave realizing that Kazuma offered to go get them mom thanks him and says that she would wait in the car while walking Kazuma thinks to himself that he has caused mom a lot of trouble and yet she's acting cheerful he wonders whether she and even thinks deep down his returning is a nuisance as he pictures people calling his mom the parent of a murderer a monster he could see Yuri hanging from the electric Tower asking

him why he didn't come he recalled the day Yuri came home and yelled demanding to know him why he didn't go pick her up that day Kazuma didn't know what was going on and he stutters what happened what went wrong but Yuri mumbled the apologizing saying its pointless lashing out at him she requested him not to tell Mom Kazuma didn't realize that his sister was raped until the very end the culprit was the teacher at that cram school as Kazuma stood outside boundary of the rapist's home while he entered the thought of murder being wrong

and a crime were none of his concern the moment the rapist opened the door Kazuma took the knife out of his bag and barged in tackling him to the ground the man fearfully inquired who he was and Kazuma said that the man was the one that Yuri mentioned of the man upon realizing that he was Yuri's brother stuttered that he was just playing with her he Yelps and explains Yuri said she was free and her brother wouldn't come pick her up Kazuma then stabs him relentlessly yelling for him to die as he regrets not picking

up and properly listening to her Kazuma regains his senses as he steps upon a cliff and he realizes that the happiness of those days will never come back no matter how much he wishes it and he has messed up the lives of many people he will atone for it with his death he deserves to die like that rapist did and he had promised Yuri to follow her as he walks upon her grave he sees a young girl with an umbrella paying respect to Yuri she runs away upon seeing Kazuma who wonders who she was after

returning mom apologizes once again and soon they reach his grandma's house where they could live peacefully mom cheerfully tells Kazuma to eat up since she made a lot for dinner and to relax once he's finished but she would eat later she leaves saying she has some things to discuss with him later once she's done with her work Kazuma lays in front of Yuki's but Sudan and wonders if the girl from graveyard was Yuki's acquaintance since he feels like he has seen her before Yuki's picture speaks up calling him brother and tells him to hurry and

go to her he UD stands and says that he would be there soon he Shivers as he thinks he has to go there quickly he is once again taken back to that moment immediately after killing Yuri's rapist standing on his blood Kazuma says to Yuri that he would be there soon at last but the little girl's voice caught his ear as she called for her daddy Kazuma realizes that that little girl was the young girl he saw today at Yuri's grave Kazuma doesn't want to remember but wanting to know he searches on the computer about

that girl he finds out that her name is Matsumoto shika kazuma's head is swarmed with questions whether she was really the girl from the past why she was at Yuri's grave and how she has been living since then next second Kazuma thinks that people about to die don't need to know and that he was the one who made her miserable after all he decides to stop when an anonymous comment catches his eyes mentioning the isumo orphanage the one his mom is working at meanwhile two people enter the house the person apologizing for intruding soon abruptly

opens up the slide of behind Kazuma all while his mom says that she would talk to him first and urges the person to wait a bit Kazuma is baffled upon turning to to see shika standing at the doorway the episode begins focusing on the girl standing in the doorway as kazuma's Mom calls out her name from the other room shika the daughter of the assaulter has grown up and is now in Middle School apparently since she's wearing her uniform Kazuma has a tensed expression upon recognizing the girl from earlier in the day from Yuri's grave

as he stands face to face with shika kazuma's mom runs up the hallway following her attempt to stoping shika from meeting Kazuma seeing that they have already met she apologizes to Kazuma for startling him and says that mom wanted to talk to him first before letting the two meet standing next to shika she resumes that for the time being she would handle the introduction mom introduces her as nishimi shika and that she's from the shelter mom is working at shica will be living with them in the weekends only mom adds that she is actually supposed

to be there tomorrow but the situation has changed a little bit Kazuma is shocked upon realizing that he had been reading about her in the website shika bows to Kazuma and looking up says that she is pleased to meet him looking at shika's calm face Kazuma can only see the little girl from 7 years ago standing in a blood splattered room holding her Teddy not being able to comprehend what had just happened kazuma's mom begins introducing Kazuma as her son and tells shika that her and her son have been living separately as she had previously

told shika shika's intense eyes from seeing her at the graveyard flashes into kazuma's mind as Mom continues saying that they would be living under the same move from now on and that shik could think of Kazuma as her own brother and have him spoil her after a brief pause mom ask Kazuma what was wrong and whether he is all right Kazuma is back to his senses and apologizes mom Smiles warmly and says that it's already late today and proposes to talk tomorrow she then says to shik to go ahead and take a bath but shika

insists on paying respect at the altar beforehand Kazuma turns Restless seeing shica sitting at his unaa sister's Altar and paying respect mom Pats her head and thanks her as always and says that she will go and heat up the bath for her shika acknowledges her and focuses on praying Kazuma has no doubts about shika being the girl from seven years ago and his head is once again crowded with questions why she was there why was she folding her hands in front of Yuri and whether she knows about Yuri in him about the fact that he

killed her father he realizes that he has no idea about any of those questions and he struggles utter words about shik's identity he could only say she was before mother says from the other room to shika interrupting him that the bath is ready and she can get in shika agrees and Bows to Kazuma before leaving the room as Kazuma stands and silence mom pops up and thanks Kazuma because shika seems somewhat happy today and in fact she has been wanting to meet him for a while she says that shik also insisted on coming here early

today even though she rarely says anything selfish mom then apologizes to Kazuma for stringing that on him so suddenly Kazuma is distraught and tries to say something but fails to do so Mom understands his situation and comfortingly places her hand on his arm she says that it is all right and that she didn't say anything to shika about that he shouldn't worry and can just act normal Kazuma apologizes to his mother mom says that she should have talked to him before bringing shica over that he likes kids and is good at taking care of others

would make it okay or so she thought she continues that it was ridiculous even though things are not the same as back then mom apologizes for being a bad mom to Kazuma after all she says she made him shoulder everything Kazuma in a trembling voice tries to ask mom why she is saying such a thing but he gets quiet upon saying it and Mom responds that she could save neither Kazuma nor Yuri that for her there was nothing but regrets and that she entertained the idea of ending it all from time to time shika EES

drops from behind the wall adjacent to the doorf frame as Mom continues that Mom reminisced about that time although she wasn't sure if she could make up for the girl that was left behind all alone she will live her life in Earnest and help other children like her Kazuma keeps his gaze at the floor as he says to his mom that there's nothing she needed to atone for and that even if she is the parent she has done nothing wrong he begins to say that everything was his fault but Mom stops to Midway saying that

is enough already she sits down in front of Yuri's Altar and says to Kazuma that he has suffered enough she requests him to take his own happiness into consideration from now on she turns to him and smiles and proposes to try again as a family and ask Kazuma if that was okay Kazuma tightens his fist as he thinks to himself that Mom's proposal is no good and as long as he lives he is going to make everyone miserable again he addresses his mom to say something while thinking that he can't afford to hurt anyone more

than he already has when shica interrupts him by calling Mom out as M waku Kazuma is startled seeing shika standing at the doorway holding her clothes and saying that there was no towel and asking if she could get one kazuma's mom walks up and standing next to her says that it was her bad and asks shica if she realized that before getting in the bath shika agrees and Mom exclaims that she is a good girl while shik Giggles mom and shik begin walking away from Kazuma while talking as mom tells shica that she could at

least call her mom when they are at home and pokes her cheek shica says that she will be embarrassed if she called her that by mistake at the shelter mom smiles and says that she was being shy again and she could denies it Kazuma watches them with a panicked expression as they walk away talking and he thinks to himself that it's really shika those eyes leave no scope for mistaking them he wonders whether such a coincidence exists Kazuma is curled up in his bed with his palms covering his face he thinks that if that girl

is Matsumoto shika she will never get along with the family of the man who killed her father but what if this is not a coincidence shik's intense eyes pop up in his imagination with blood splattered around them as he thinks that her goal is Revenge suddenly he is back to the time when he's relentlessly stabbing shika's father constantly yelling for him to be uniled Kazuma sees a knife piercing him on his chest and the one holding that knife is shika clenching her teeth teeth and crying as she stabs him in an attempt to unive him

Kazuma wakes up in his bed screaming he realizes that it was just a dream he sits up saying that it was very laughable and asks himself what he is afraid of now he has already decided to die so how he dies should not indeed matter he thinks that if shica is the one to do it then that's all the better he sits in silence as a light in another room gets turned on and a noise slips into his ear he thinks that it's his mom and one what she is doing at this hour as it

is 1:51 a.m. on the clock he gets up and goes downstairs peeking into the kitchen he sees none other than shika standing by the kitchen counter holding a knife in her hand shika stares at him as Kazuma lets out some sounds upon noticing the knife in her hand seeing Kazuma standing there shik asks him what Kazuma after a moment of silence confirms with her if she is Matsumoto shika shika doesn't deny it and says that her family name name is nishimi kazuma's voice beings to tremble as he tells her that there is no need to

hide that and that he remembers her anyways shika asks him what he is talking about remembering and adds that they have just met today before saying good night to him but Kazuma grabs onto her wrist and stops her for leaving insisting her to wait he says to tell him if she has a goal his voice remains shaky as he says that she has every right to loathe him and he will accept any punishment Kazuma bows down onto the floor in front of her and requests her if she could not drag his mother into that he

mentions that he doesn't want to bring any misery to anyone anymore and that everything was his fault he holds both of her hands with the grip of the knife as if to make her hold it and points the knife to his throat he continues that that is why she should please and live him the young man Kazuma is on his knees clasping onto the knife as he pleads with the girl in a trembling voice to kindly kill him the girl shika with conf confusion in her eyes mumbles something that's not audible he does not understand

what she says and write then shik yells out that she has no idea what he is talking about while she snatches her hands away she says that she could not sleep so she was going to eat an apple and reaffirms that she does not understand anything he is saying only then Kazuma notices an apple and a chopping board next to the knife on the counter shika leaves telling him to have a good night the next morning Kazuma sits up on his futin and thinks to himself about what he has done he admits that he is

not even certain she has anything to do with what he told her and realizes that he must have frightened her while opening the curtains of his room he decides to apologize to her that day he says that after that he would depart he imagines his mom and shica as a happy family while thinking that his existence might destroy the happiness of those two that he can no longer go back to a normal life he thinks about how he can't afford to make the same mistake again just then his mom calls out to him asking him

if he is awake mom opens the door just enough to Peak herself and to propose to Kazuma to go out for lunch that day with her and shik however Kazuma politely declines saying that he will pass on that Mom tries to convince him by asking him why and mentioning that it has been very long since they last ateed out together she also said that they did not get to eat together the previous day Kazuma stayed silent and after his mom was finished talking he said that people will badmouth her if they eat together and adds

that he did not want that mom hugs him immediately and emphasizes that she does not care and that she was overjoyed when he returned she again said that she does not care what they said and that he is her child that all that matters to her is that Kazuma is alive Kazuma has a glum expression as his mother speaks after she is done hugging Kazuma places his hands on Mom's shoulders and says that he gets it and assures her that he will go at this mom Smiles brightly and informs him that they will be leaving

at around 11:30 and ensures with him which Kazuma agrees to but as soon as she leaves Kazuma breaks down into tears he crouches down on his futin and sobs covering his face with his palms a while later Kazuma is seated at the restaurant with his mom and shika the environment is bustling and crowded with people chatting and talking in every seat mom asks something to Kazuma but since he is covering his ears she asked asks again whether he can hear her Kazuma realizes and asks what she had asked him before and Mom repeats her question

and asks Kazuma whether he agrees that shika is acting nervous shika being flustered denies it and Mom teases her asking whether it was because Kazuma was there and that that it is very cute shika Giggles from Mom's poking and teasing and keeps denying it while Kazuma is thinking about apologizing for what happened the previous day suddenly Kazuma notices the separated grains of corn and Sheik is near nearly empty plate and asks her if she did not like corn shika with a serious expression agrees saying that she hates it and that she does not know why

they put it in her dish she adds that it keeps dropping so it is hard to eat Kazuma responds saying that she can use a spoon while Mom insists that she eats it up since it is good for her shica makes excuses that she does not know trying to avoid having to eat the leftover corn Kazuma notices that shik has the same habit as Yuri and Chuckles as he begins to take the corn from her plate with his spoon while he tells her to let him have that but he immediately realizes their situation and gets

awkward and apologizes to shika for being over familiar shika smiles and says that it is fine and that she does not mind Kazuma thinks in his head that their company feels just like back then Mom laughs and says that this somehow reminds her of when Yuri was with them Kazuma laughs too and just as he is about to agree a dark voice forbids him to laugh and calls him a murderer Kazuma is stunned and looks around searching for the person who said that but he spots no one and The Voice keeps shunning him and calling

him all sorts of names while Kazuma is swarmed with these dark thoughts mom and shika brings up a topic they had to discuss about with him mom addresses Kazuma and having his attention says that to be honest she is thinking about adopting shik into their family kazuma's eyes widen with realization as Mom continues that it of course doesn't have to be right now and that she has t talked to shik about it before and she wants him to think about it as they spend more time from then on Kazuma thinks about family and having a

new sister as shica says her part but none of what she's saying is audible to him over the pleads of Yuri who is calling out to him asking him if he will die for her already Kazuma feels nauseous and his eyes water up as he thinks about shika being a sister to someone who could not even protect his own sister he tries to apologize and asks to be left alone when he vomits in his hand Kazuma drops to the flooor while Mom asks him is he is okay and if he can stand while proposing to

get some water for him however she is interrupted by the words of bystanders who mention that they have seen Kazuma somewhere before both Kazuma and his mom are stunned as people joke whether he is a celebrity and later says that that must be their imagination and their bad laying on the floor Kazuma notices shik's eyes as she stares down on him Kazuma realizes that everything has as he expected while driving home mom apologizes to kazma for forcing him to come and says that his face still looks pale she proposes to take a break somewhere she

notices the scenery around them and exclaims that they can see empty tedama clearly today they decide to rest and take a look around outside mom and shiko walk beside each other while Kazuma stands a bit behind in the snow covered Meadow with great mountains at the Horizon mom says that it's beautiful and mentions to Kazuma that it has been a while since they last saw it together she lifts shika up in her arms and tells her to look while shika says it does not look any different kazula once again finds similarities in that scene from

when Mom Yuri and he would hang out together as a family he wondered if it was a dream that God bestowed upon him before his passing he looks on with a narrow gaze as shica and his mom happily play in the snow later all three of them are seated in the car mom asks whether they should go home now and ask Kazuma whether he was feeling any better Kazuma says that he is fine now Mom cheerfully says that that is great however shica remains silent at home mom makes sure shika didn't forgot anything while packing

her bag shica replies that she has got everything mom Pats shik's head and says that she will see her there next week and mention that weend go by in a Flash shika agrees mom turns to Kazuma and asks if he has going to take it easy at home Kazuma replies that he will go visit Yuri's Graves since he did not get to do it properly the other the day Mom understood and asks him whether he will drive Kazuma says that he can just walk there Mom says it's all right and says she and shika are

leaving Kazuma tells them to take care as they leave and with that he is all alone at home now he sits down to write a letter to his mom where he apologizes to her for causing so much trouble and notifying her that he would end it all today it was his self un alignement note after writing which he balls his eyes out placing his head down onto the desk he apologizes to his mom for being a hopeless son for causing so much hardship but today is the end of it all so she should please be

happy with her new family he walks to Yuri's grave and places the envelope with the title suicide note written on it he says to Yuri that he is on his way now when he is stopped by shika who grabs onto his arm and asks him where he is going Kazuma is confused and asks her what about school but shika again inquires where he was going Kazuma remains silent as shika asks him if he is going to die and holds up the envelope he had just placed on Yuri's grave seeing that Kazuma tries to say something

but shica does not let him explain and rips the suicide note folded inside the envelope into pieces Kazuma tries to tell her to stop but she does not and after she's done ripping it apart he suddenly grabs her hands and exclaims what she has done he grabs her little forearms and lifting them up yells at her saying what does she think she is doing and demands to know her explanation for her actions as tears leak from his eyes shika mumbles an answer but Kazuma not being able to understand asks for clarification that is when shica

with determination in her eyes rigidly says that she will not let him die
