[KIMURA MANOR]
"No way," Ichika said when a strong whiff of olive scent hit her nose, making her stumble back. It was a new scent to her, but the name on the door, the name written there, was a name that she had heard more times than she cared to think of.
It was the name that had haunted her life and that of most Doiwa Lycans for over ten years.
It was a name that no one would ever be able to forget. Perhaps because of the title, or perhaps because that was the one name that had determined whether Doiwa was peaceful or hellish for everyone.
The name shouldn't have crossed over to this side, and more than anything, it was a name that shouldn't have been here.
Not inside this manor.
Not in a place that had just been renovated.
Not this place that had been abandoned for so many years.
Ichika felt sick to her stomach, and she couldn't open the door. So, she looked at Otaru, who had knocked, like this was some phase that she had been warned about.
