I raised my hand against Karin. I'd kept myself in check until now, but I couldn't stop myself. How am I going to apologize to Grandpa? It hurts. I found you. I've been waiting for this moment... my bride. Bride? This spirit energy... A fox did this. What's your name? Um... It's Yuzu. Yuzu, I've been wanting to see you. What do you mean? But we've never met before. He's so beautiful. His jet black hair melts into the darkness, and his eyes are blood red. I'd never forget him. I'm Reiya. Kiryuin Reiya. I'm his bride? What is he saying? I've been looking for you, my bride. Um.. I'll walk you home. You shouldn't be out this late at night. Where's your home? What's wrong? You don't want to go home? Wow. Are you hurt anywhere else? Are you an ogre? Yes. Kiryuin. Even I've heard that name. They're a family of ogres and humans at the pinnacle of Japanese society. Why would someone like you help me? I told you. You're my bride. You don't believe me? I'm a bride? Like Karin? I can't be the bride of such a powerful demon. That's too convenient. Why me? Karin's a bride. She's not like you. Of course we cherish her. In that lonely house, I wished and dreamed so many times... for someone to love me. Being alone makes me so sad. Will you love me? Yes. I'll love you and you alone, my bride. He's a demon. Demons never betray their brides. Will he make my wish and dream come true? Maybe he'll love me.
