Morning Ninomiya-san
Morning

Morning
Morning

After the cavalry battle in the Athletic Festival, and the trash pickup events
We're now able to talk to Ninomiya-san normally.

But there is still one thing we cannot ignore.

The Cursed Ichimatsu Doll
[side] Legends say this killed the past 4 owners with her curse

We may have charms with us, but the doll really bothers us too...
And she carries it around with her all the time, so it must be very special. So we can't say anything bad.

Speaking of which, the boy with Ninomiya-san had nothing with him.
Maybe he's got a counter to it.

Eh?
The cursed Ichimatsu doll suzu has?

Ohhh, Matsuko. She is scary.
She is scary...

So what kind of curses happened to you up to now?
Hmmm, if you ask me, I say she is but...

All the bugs suddenly die around Matsuko for some strange reason
And you continually bump into bad luck.

And then...
The skirts get flipped...
Skirts!?

Do you have any kind of charm to ward off the curse?
Well, I don't.

Because I've pretty much accepted the risks I'm taking.
Because a lot scarier things happen than that curse...

So he's with her because he's accepted all the risks...
That is true friendship...!

Thank you so much
No no
You got some good friends, Suzu.

Ninomiya-san.

"Eh"

"Are you really okay with coming this close to me?"
"We're fine"

"Ah I see"
"You have charms"

"We don't need charms anymore"

"If we want to be friends with you"
"Then we have to accept everything about you, curses included"

"We're all ready for this"
"You guys..."

"So this doll's name is Matsuko-chan"
"Can I touch her?"
"Sure..."

...see? Nothing's happening
So there really is no curse.

"A baseball just flew in!"
"Those baseball people should really be careful!"

Th-this is fine. It was just a coincidence...
If this really was a curse, I would've gotten hurt for sure...

"Hey look at that"
"That place where the ball flew in..."

"A bug's been squished..."

"Oh yeah, that boy said bugs die"
"It-it's just a coincidence"

"Coinci-"

"And a breeze came from the broken window!"
"We gotta get some paper there now!"

"...I will accept everything..."
"...don't force yourself"
They got a little bit closer.

"Hey look at that"
>"It's where the ball landed..."
