Beads of sweat trickled down Haru's face as he looked at Kiyohime's expression—an expression of pure, unadulterated terror. Even the densest Devil King could recognize the signs now—this girl was yandere.
Facing a yandere for the first time, Haru felt a flicker of—unease.
He hesitated, then began to speak. "She's—"
Kiyohime's lips parted, her tongue darting out like a snake's, her voice low and menacing. "Don't you dare lie to me. If you lie to Kiyohime, she'll have to wait for your reincarnation—again."
"So you were the one who killed Anchin?" Haru asked, his eyes widening slightly. This was getting complicated.
Kiyohime's expression shifted, tears welling up in her eyes. "It was your fault! You promised to return and accept my love! But you lied! You ran away!"
She clung to Haru, burying her face in his chest, her voice choked with sobs. "And when I found you, you hid inside a bell, refusing to come out! I was so heartbroken—I had no choice—I burned us both—in a sea of flames..."
"...."
Haru froze, staring at her with a mixture of shock and—fear.
