Hey, you. Won't you come to the Temple School?

Hey, you. Won't you come to the Temple School?

The first time I met that teacher, she came and asked me that.

It was when I went to buy more ink, because I had run out.

I heard a story once about a Temple School with a half-youkai that was holding classes

I did plan on going to the place I heard about someday, but...

Please protect those children.

That's why I'll tell you, teacher, what I know about Kazami Yuuka

Before I knew it, I felt that it was fun this way. I knew that being by myself was to be lonely.

I must refuse. I have enough work to do compiling history and besides, I've already completed my basic studies.

I'm sorry. But this isn't an ordinary Temple School, you know?

In the story I heard, they opened a sister school to the Temple at the request of the youkai and fairies

Upon reflection, it was an opportunity to have her provide for me a spot from which I could safely observe things, and, keeping her near me, she could help me compile my records.

I agreed to attend the temple school on the condition that it not interfere with my primary duty.

It was still fresh.

I received special treatment just for being called "The Miare Girl."

Because of my ability, I never had to attend the Temple School.

As far back as I can remember, I've read books, studying and recording history day after day.

I never found it painful to do.

And so I agreed to this consumption of my short life.

Pretended to agree.

Pretended to agree.

I believed there was nothing to be done. The Miare girl cannot live past 30, and will spend most of her time preparing for her next incarnation. And then, centuries from now, in the next incarnation, no one she knew will remain.

Being together with someone for a brief period must lead to sadness when they are parted.

So, I gave up on such things. Though solitude was painful, if I could grow used to it, I would be at ease.

But despite thinking that I must consent to this

After I started attending the temple school.

The foolish one

The noisy one

The one who thinks useless thoughts

The one who performs worthless deeds

And the one who fails to stop them

And the one who fails to stop them

The troublesome kids came to be always around me.

But, if my suspicions are correct, then those children are going far away. Furthermore, I cannot oppose Kazami Yuuka.

And if my theory does not stem from a misunderstanding of mine, then I beg of you
