to avoid fading away she has been forced into a contract with the Sono family ensuring her Survival by staying connected to their lineage when Kochi asks maroku why she's so against the marriage it turns out she has a lot of reasons first she doesn't want to be married to a high schooler she would much rather regain her powers through her own efforts moroku gets a bit too excited thinking about the screams of strangers and the thrill of scaring them every day moroku tells kochie that their contract is just the first step and that her actual

plan is something else she promises that soon the day will come when he will actually be scared kuchie acts confused but he knows what maroku is is planning moroku gets angry and kuchi explains that when he turns 18 they will start living as a couple on a trial basis he adds that if moroka manages to scare him at least once before then the wedding and their relationship will be called off moroku looks at kuchi speechless kuchi calmly asks her why she doesn't want to marry him maroku says that she finds these types of marriages between

humans and urban legends ridiculous and horrible even though kuchie comes from an Exceptional Family he is still just a human boy kuchie completely ignores Mora's protests and tells her that he still hopes everything works out between them he steps closer to maroku but she jumps back flustered and sarcastically asks what's happening to him pretending to be worried kuchie steps closer again and gently places his hand on moka's cheek and hair he confesses that he really likes her maroku is shocked and speechless her eyes wide with surprise eyes kuchie continues saying that he wants to marry

the person he loves the most and for him that would be the best scenario maroku is still speechless trying to speak but too shocked to form words she tells kuchi to stop joking but he just looks at her and smiles not caring that she is the slit mouth woman kuchie then says he has a condition too over the next year while moroku is trying to scare him she has to keep one thing in mind if he manages to get her to like him it means she has fallen in love with him moka's eyes grow even

wider in shock and she screams asking why he is so insistent on this kuchie Just Smiles and tells her she can still do anything she wants then he becomes very intense moving closer to moroku and says they will see if she fails to scare him or if he fails to make her fall in love with him he declares that this year will be truly interesting maroka sits on the floor speechless As kuchie Leaves she remains confused about kochie but still feels confident that she won't lose and his wishes won't come true the next day maroku

goes searching for the right atmosphere for her next scare she discovers a shed with just the dark and dingy environment she's looking for hoping that the perfect location will finally freak out kuchi maroku is deep in thought planning the Ambush when kuchi himself Creeps in behind her wearing a demon mask he scares her so badly that Shivers run down her spine and she screams causing her already slit mouth to become even more unhinged still in shock moroku starts stitching her mouth back together while kochie explains that he was just trying to speak to her he

already knew what moroku was planning by choosing this shed and her intention to scare him again maroku is taken aback by how Kochi was able to figure it all out kuchi laughs and mocks maroku for failing to scare him again he explains that this space is dedicated to his collection of antiques and artworks and maybe his hobby is the reason he isn't afraid of moroku even when her jaw falls off maroku insists that she wasn't planning anything and that her jaw-dropping was just a coincidence she is bewildered not understanding how kuchie could stand there so

casually when anyone else would have run for the hills kochie tells her he loves her no matter how she looks leaving maroku completely speechless maroku is annoyed that despite her elaborate scare plans kuchie keeps insisting that he will make her fall in love with him she feels like Kochi is making fun of her and angrily shouts at him saying that it won't work on her suddenly moroku realizes that she is out of yarn to stitch her face back together she knows she has to buy more so she can go out in public without attracting attention

which she considers essential when kuchie asks her why she always wears those stitches maroku explains that she actually prefers having the slit mouth but because of the problems it causes she feels compelled to keep its own shut even though it's a hassle Mar roko quickly gets irritated with all his questioning and confronts kuchi asking if he has an issue since he's complaining so much kuchi in turn expresses his concern about moroku constantly sewing her face over and over again maroku says she can't help it it's hard for her to keep her mouth shut and she

couldn't stand always looking like that kochie remains unconvinced and tells moroku it's just her imagination maroko gets angry and shouts at him asking if he has a problem with her because he's always always complaining kochie casually responds that he was just making an observation and reassures her that it doesn't matter how her mouth looks she will still look pretty moroku blushed at kochie's words feeling it was the first time someone had told her she looked beautiful kochie noticing her reaction asks if stitching her face hurts maroku still blushing responds that it doesn't hurt and can

be compared to human hair or Nails kuchie asks for her permission and gently touches her face moroka states that no matter how much he touches her she won't feel anything however in reality she does feel something when kochie's hand touches her lips moroko was taken aback and started to get really angry after kuchie touched her lips she demanded to know what he was doing screaming that even though they were engaged he couldn't do something like that kuchie explained that he thought it was okay to touch her lips with his finger and then decided to leave

while maroku couldn't get over the way kochie had touched her lips she also felt it wasn't that bad it was just kuchie's finger meanwhile kuchie stopped walking looked at his finger and closed it with a sense of accomplishment still thinking about moroku moroku couldn't stop thinking about what was happening to her and why she was feeling what she was feeling because of kuchie the following day maroku suddenly woke from a dream where kuchie was kissing her she couldn't seem to get him out of her mind she still didn't understand why kuchie wasn't afraid of her

and why he kept acting so affectionate around her she felt really nervous and strange thinking that most people are afraid of ghosts and other supernatural beings maybe she wasn't exactly like other supernatural creatures but she was close enough yet kuchie had shown no fear at all when he first met her and she had no idea what he was thinking maroku got out of bed and started to think that maybe she shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it she opened the door and was startled to see an old lady standing in front of

her calling her the wife the elderly lady introduced herself as Saia the housemaid she informed moroku that kuchi had already left for school maroku realized that kuchi was just a 17-year-old high school student she thought of an elaborate plan to scare kochie and said goodbye to Saia as she walked away excitedly moroku thought to herself that this time she would surely succeed on her way maroku stopped when she saw Kochi arguing with some other guy she wondered what was happening kuchie was supposed to be at school but here he was on the street talking to

a stranger moroku noticed the stranger's blonde hair and pierced ears and thought he looked really scary moroku somehow still thought kuchie just talks to her all the time and she was surprised to see kuchie talking to someone else and she started making theories about what they were talking about maroka still thought that maybe kuchie does not realize how terrifying this stranger actually looks and she wonders if she should interrupt them maroku heard kuchie telling the stranger that he didn't want to go to such a scary place with him hearing this shocked maroku because scary was

not a word she expected to come from kuchie so she decided to help her fiance by scaring the other guy using her favorite phrase to scare humans she opened her terrifying slit mouth and asked the stranger if she is beautiful her tactic was successful The Stranger felt as if his soul left his body and he fled in fear as kochie stared at maroku in shock moroku actually looked really excited with her first success at scaring a human she asked her fiance how he could let the other guy get away with whatever he said to him

kuchie stared at her speechless which made moroku really annoyed and she told him not to get the wrong idea because she wasn't even worried about him she asked her fiance why he was so silent and assumed that he might be surprised by her true Powers as maroku continued talking kuchie's thoughts drifted to his childhood he remembered a boy arguing with him accusing him of being arrogant because he was rich and assuming kuchie looked down on others the boy added that kuchie never talked which was why no one knew what he was thinking and why he

didn't have any friends in school kuchie sighed and told them he didn't care but before he finished his words he noticed both the boy and the girl shocked in fear when he turned around he saw maroku who asked him if she is beautiful but instead of being scared kuchi was stunned by her beauty his thoughts were interrupted when Maro shouted at him asking what was the matter with him he answered that he was thinking about how much he loved her and thanked her for saving him moroku blushed at his words and completely forgot about her

plan to scare him maroku asked kuchi why he wasn't in school since it was still early for him to leave he answered that it was okay because he was already done maroku was really annoyed by this response and told him to not skip school as it was still early morning kuchie insisted that he was finished with school and he tried to explain but before he could finish his sentence the stranger from earlier suddenly appeared and said he wouldn't let kuchie get away with skipping school The Stranger scolded kuchie and confronted him about skipping school The

Stranger looked really determined and told kuchie that he is not going to get away with it this time kuchi reminded the stranger that he had just run away scared but the stranger explained that he ran without thinking because moroku startled him suddenly The Stranger looked at maroku and realized something becoming even more scared and shocked moroku was still confused while the stranger tried to explain himself but Kochi asked him to shut up moroku wondered if kuchi actually knew this stranger The Stranger noticed moroku and admitted he had almost forgotten about kochie's fiance he introduced himself

as Yuda kuchie's bodyguard maroku watched them surprised that kuchi had a bodyguard Yuda explained that he has been taking care of kuchi ever since he was a child while UDA was trying to force k to return to school kuchi insisted he didn't want to go back to that terrifying School hearing this maroku wondered if kuchi was being bullied by his classmates however kuchie clarified that it wasn't what she thought and he just didn't want to waste his precious time on school things when he could spend all his time with moroku Kochi and Yuda continued arguing

about school UDA tried to convince Kochi that as he is a student his first priority should be going to school but kuchie argued that spending time with loved ones was more important than anything else UDA became frustrated and asked moroku to help convince kuchi while moroku was trying to understand what the problem was the housemid Saia appeared and told kuchi that if he continued like this maroku would get tired of him and he needed to diligently carry out his duties kuchi listened to SAA and said he would change his clothes he also mentioned that moroku

had told him not to skip class this confused both moroku and UDA UDA explained that Kochi was sometimes selfish pretending to be grown up and often got scolded by his parents he asked moroku to treat Kochi with care and added that despite his flaws kuchi had a good heart moroku asked Yuda if he had always been keeping an eye on kuchi UDA smiled and confirmed that he had always been looking out for him moroku noticed that uda's long bushy hair covered his eyes and confronted him asking if he could even see with his hair so

long moroku asked Yuda if she could move his bangs to see his eyes but UDA shyly refused saying it was part of his personality and it was too soon to reveal his face just then kuchi walked in with a serious face he took Mara's hand and explained that uda's bangs were part of his character he opened his bag and handed moroku a roll of thread saying he remembered he had one at school moroku was dumbfounded looking at the thread kuchie had given her UDA then revealed that kuchi had actually gone to school to get the

thread as they were about to leave moroku called kuchie and when he turned around she thanked him and wished him a good day at school kuchi replied with a big smile that he would UDA smiled and commented that it must be nice to leave home after saying goodbye to your wife but kuchie remains silent with each passing day moroku became more determined to wriggle out of the contract with kuchi she started Gathering a lot of information from kochie's relatives about him one day Mar Roku asked UDA when kuchi was most vulnerable and when he lowered

his guard UDA laughed at her asking if they were still playing their dumb game maroku got annoyed and said that her Pride depended on the outcome of the game and it wasn't dumb maroku told Yuda that none of her ambushes had worked at all yet and that couldi saw through all her plans She also asked the housemade SAA but Saia remained unresponsive UDA thought about it for a while and then suggested that his master was weakest in the morning moroku felt like this plan would be perfect since Kochi was always in his room sleeping when

she woke up she was sure that kuchi wouldn't see this coming determined to catch him off guard maroku sneaked into his bedroom while he was still asleep she slammed a hand on his bed put on her most terrifying voice and peeled back his blanket while delivering her most famous line when kochie woke up and saw her bulging eyes above him he hardly reacted and just stared at maroku blankly maroku started to get nervous suddenly kuchi grabbed her and pulled her closer he almost kissed her and maroku jerked away Furious that she had failed again she

then realized she had forgotten to untie the thread on her mouth maroku might have tried again to scare kuchie after removing her threads if he hadn't suddenly pulled her into bed again still half asleep and holding her close she started to wriggle out of his hug but kuchie told her to keep quiet warning that otherwise Yuda and Saia would come and find them maroku demanded he let her go but soon noticed he had conveniently fallen asleep again she felt deeply uncomfortable at first but then remembered what UDA had said about kuchie not having much family

and being too quiet looking at how relaxed he seemed on the bed she couldn't find the heart to wake him so she gave in burrowing into his side and closing her eyes surprised to find herself comfortable in his arms when kuchie woke up the roles were reversed he discovered covered maroku snoozing beside him for once Kochi started to sweat with nervousness his heart racing at 100 m an hour he was still confused about how he got into this situation his mind racing as he tried to piece together what had happened kuchi decided the next step

was to get moroku to eat with him he asked her reminding her that she always denied his invitations and suggested that this time they should eat together moroku protested saying that she was not human but the slit mouthed woman and had no need for food kuchie however insisted that UDA could cook whatever she preferred he knew that she could eat and asked her what her favorite food was when UDA walked into the kitchen later he found a scene that looked straight out of a crime show kuchi was standing calmly in the messy kitchen trying to

prepare something UDA just stared at him in shock finally UDA gathered the courage to ask kuchi what he was making kuchi explained that maroku had had said her favorite food was hard candy even though it's not exactly beginner-friendly food kuchie was determined to make it no matter what UDA told kuchie that he was doing it wrong feeling the need to step in UDA decided to intervene especially since kuchi had been literally smashing all his fruit he suggested that the strawberries would be better if thinly sliced kuchie however acted like an actual psychopath and started trying

to slice the fruit in his hand UDA freaked out when he saw kuchie managed to cut his palm instead of the fruit UDA quickly ran to get some medicine and bandages and asked kuchie why he had decided to come to the kitchen at that moment kuchie told Yuda that maroku hadn't eaten with someone else before and he expressed his desire to eat with her UDA seemed to understand kuchie's frustration kuchie went on to explain that moroku looked like a human but living together he sometimes forgot that she had lived a completely different life he said

that for him maroku was just normal person but he still understood that she wasn't actually human kuchi continued saying he wanted to get closer to moroku by doing human things with her but he realized it had backfired kuchi felt useless and a little stupid UDA reassured him that all he needed was experience and admitted he had thought all this was part of a bigger plan to make maroku fall in love with kuchi so their marriage would go ahead UDA mentioned he knew about the contract between kuchi and moroku adding that he believed kuchi wanted to

make maroku fall for him kuchie smiled and explained that he just wanted the best for maroku and at the end of the day he simply wanted the two of them to share a meal together UDA smiled back at kuchie and decided to salvage the disastrous attempt at cooking with kuchie's help they ended up with some pretty impressive looking candies later in Mara's room kuchie gave her the candies he made maroku took a bite and looked absolutely obsessed with him she mentioned that it had been a long time since she had eaten anything at all and

it was definitely her first time trying this candy kuchie asked if he could have won two and moroku gave him a candy as he grabbed it moroku noticed the bandage on his palm from slicing the fruit earlier when kochie started talking about what he should make for her next moroku grew suspiciously quiet kochie's candy seemed to have worked on some level as maroku clearly cared enough about him not to want him to get hurt so maroku told kuchie that next time she would be the one to make him something Kochi was shocked and moroku added

that it was only to return the favor of course kuchi agreed and smiled saying he would be waiting later in the kitchen kuchi and moroku were busy making something when it came time for maroku to cook however it turned out she was nearly as awful as kuchie UDA watched both of them from the sidelines surprised to see just how alike they were for the first time as this unlikely pair grew closer and it looked like kuchie was winning their little battle in school kuchie's classmates were starting to take more interest in him one kid in

particular had a hunch that kuchie had a girlfriend he shared this Revelation with his friends who asked how he came to that conclusion the boy explained that according to his intuition he figured out kuchie must have a girlfriend from another school because recently he was always late for class which he hadn't done before the boy suggested that kuchie and his girlfriend must meet up before coming to school and he speculated that kuchie must be on his way to meet her right now the boy suggested to his other friends that they should follow kuchie the friends

were still not convinced and asked the boy why it was important to know what kuchie was doing despite their reluctance they started following kuchie on his way back the boy acting a little unhinged said that kuchie was the most popular guy in school and even had a fan club he claimed that no matter how beautiful a girl approached him kuchie always rejected them and because of this girls were crazy about kuchie as kuchie turned towards an alley the guys following him continued arguing about whether kuchie had a girlfriend the leader was determined and insisted that

kuchie definitely had a girlfriend he pointed out that recently kuchie had grown softer and even looked happy the leader seemed really intense now saying he had always thought kuchie was a lonely person who wasn't interested in anyone and now he was acting completely different he was determined to get to the bottom of this the other two guys asked the leader why they had to keep following kuchie when they could just ask him directly and they teased if he was scared the leader guy got really flustered the next moment as they followed kuchie into the alley

they realized that kuchie was already gone the leader guy suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him asking what they were doing he jumped up in shock and turned back to see kuchie standing there calmly the guy screamed in Surprise while kochie calmly asked if they needed something they tried to explain that they were just passing by but kuchie already knew they had been following him the other guy urged the leader to just ask kuchie what he wanted to know the leader gathered some courage and asked kuchie if he was dating someone kuchie not interested in

the question said he had to leave and had a lot of work to do the other guys tried to ask more questions and stop kuchie when suddenly they noticed a girl calling out to kuchie from behind the other guys were shocked to see the girl realizing that they were right all along moroku looked a little annoyed as she said she had been looking for kuchie she was angry but strangely Charming as she told kuchi that they were supposed to meet up but he wasn't there kuchie turned to maroku and apologized for making her wait while

the leader guy just stared at the situation speechless the leader guy was ecstatic and excitedly told his friends that he knew he was right about kuchie having a girlfriend maroku looked at the strange guys and conf confusion and whispered to kuchie asking who these guys were kuchie whispered back that they were classmates before anyone could react the leader guy rushed towards moroku and grabbed her hand asking her about her relationship with kuchi he bombarded moroku with questions asking if she was dating kuchie while moroku looked completely flushed and speechless the guy kept going overwhelming moroku

with confusion until his friend suggested he should ask for her name first before Mar U could say anything kuchi pulled her away from the guy and held her close in his arms he announced to the guys that she was moroka Sano and smiled saying that they had this kind of relationship the guys stood there speechless and in shock while kochie said that he and moroku were going to buy groceries and make dinner together kuchi turned back towards the guys still holding moroku close and smiled at them saying he would see them tomorrow as they walked

home maroku confronted kuchi about why he lied to those guys about her name kuchie explained that he had his reasons and felt it was too soon to reveal her real name he smiled at moroku and mentioned that by the end of the year he would be married moroku stared at him annoyed and retorted that it still hadn't been decided she playfully smacked cooie and they continued walking back together the guys were still confused and kochie's plan had worked they now thought that Kochi and maroku were actually siblings the lead Peter kuk realized he had been

thinking too far ahead he was still in shock about something different and as his friends tried to get his attention kuk excitedly exclaimed that kuchie had actually remembered his name and he was glad he had started that fan club kuk had actually created and led the kuchie fan club kuks friends started to mock him telling him that kuchie remembering his name had nothing to do with the fan club they pointed out that they were all in the same class so it was normal for kuchie to know their name they decided to leave but one of

the guys suddenly felt a strange presence behind him
