What? What was that?

It was nothing.

Geez, just be upfront about it.

After that, the rokurokubi girl racing through the Village became the subject of many rumors.

Sekibanki sat by the canal, just as always, smiling on the inside.

And so, the power of the Mallet from that incident disappeared.

There should be no more rampaging.

However, though she lost that mighty power, she gained something else in return.

Sekibanki would often leave the Village and head for the lakeside.

She's calmed down quite a bit.
