Winter break drew to an end, and the new school term began matter-of-factly as if it was the most sensible thing in the world. However, the girl known as Gankyū Eguriko had disappeared. Her desk was removed over the winter break. Her name, which previously occupied the eleventh spot in the class register, was noticeably absent. Though he already anticipated this fact, Sakaki Guryū still felt sadness the moment he confirmed it on the register.

	Gankyū Eguriko had vanished ~~before their eyes.~~		Gankyū Eguriko had vanished, and he didn't know why.

	~~The reason was unclear~~.

	She disappeared from Sakaki’s ~~ordinary~~ life as if her existence was ~~but~~ a ~~long~~ dream. What happened to Guriko? Snake? The Mushi? ~~They were things~~ Sakaki could not ~~know~~. The ~~town devastated~~ by the Dream World Beast had also been restored over the winter break. The only thing ~~that she~~ left behind were ~~their~~ memories – and two Apples.		She disappeared from Sakaki’s life as if her existence was simply a dream. What happened to Guriko? And the Snake? The Mushi? Sakaki could not ascertain what happened with any of those parties. The devastation made by the Dream World Beast had also been restored over the winter break. The only thing Guriko left behind were her feats in Sakaki and Rinne's memories – and two Apples.

	Those two Apples must have taken root in Sakaki’s and Rinne’s souls! Sakaki’s appetite did fall, and occasionally ~~Mushi-like~~ people would ~~look~~ at him with reddish eyes. He apparently needed to stay cautious for the time being. However, as the Mushi had so far remained docile, Sakaki ~~had been~~ rather calm. He thought that as long as he and Rinne could stay together, living forever wouldn’t be so bad!		Those two Apples must have taken root in Sakaki’s and Rinne’s souls by now! Sakaki’s appetite did fall, and occasionally he spotted people would looking at him with reddish eyes. He apparently still needed to stay cautious for the time being. However, as the Mushi had so far remained docile, Sakaki felt rather calm. He thought that as long as he and Rinne could stay together, living forever wouldn’t be so bad!

	Rinne would graduate high school in two years, and Sakaki resolved ~~until then~~ to push thoughts of the future out of his mind and optimistically live his life. He would enjoy it as much as possible ~~while treasuring~~ his memories ~~with~~ Guriko, until life itself ~~became~~ a bore. Guriko must ~~have thought~~ the same somewhere else in the world!		Rinne would graduate from high school in two years, and Sakaki resolved to push thoughts of the future out of his mind until then and optimistically live his life. He would enjoy his life as much as possible and treasure his memories of Guriko, until life itself becomes a bore. Guriko must be wishing for the same thing somewhere else in the world!

	The girl who died a millennium ago had wandered for a millennium, and finally found people important to her and a wonderful place in the world. She shouldn’t say that ‘it’d be fine as long as ~~she’s~~ the only unfortunate one’, right? Guriko was not unfortunate, because of this happiness that she had finally found.

	Winter break had ended, and the new school term had begun as if it was the most obvious ~~think~~ in the world. However, the girl known as Gankyuu Eguriko had already disappeared. Her desk was removed over the winter break, and it was noticed that her name was no longer on the eleventh spot in the class register. Though he already knew this, Sakaki Guryuu still felt sadness the moment he confirmed it.		Winter break had ended, and the new school term had begun as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

	Those two Apples must have taken roots in Sakaki’s and Rinne’s souls! Sakaki’s appetite did fall, and occasionally Mushi-like people would look at him with reddish eyes. He apparently needed to stay cautious for the time being. However, as the Mushi had so far remained docile, Sakaki had been rather calm. As he thought, as long as he and Rinne could stay together, living forever wouldn’t be so bad!		Those two Apples must have taken roots in Sakaki’s and Rinne’s souls!

	Rinne would graduate high school in two years, and Sakaki resolved until then to push thoughts of the future out of his mind and optimistically live his life.

	Despite his astonishment, Sakaki was still happy just to be able to see Guriko again, so he continued with a smile, “Then again, we can think about this kind of stuff afterwards. Welcome back, Guriko! Even though I have a lot to say to you, introduce yourself ~~first~~ as a transfer student!”		Despite his astonishment, Sakaki was still happy just to be able to see Guriko again, so he continued with a smile, “Then again, we can think about this kind of stuff afterwards.

	Guriko followed him up, and stiffly said to the dumbstruck students, “I’ll introduce myself again, I’m True • Gankyuu Eguriko, but call me Guriko. That being said, it doesn’t matter if you call me True • Gankyuu Eguriko. Don’t talk to me if you don’t want to; you might as well not talk to me at all. Just don’t disturb me, and I won’t injure you, so keep that in mind. Mind your own business, and generally avoid talking to me. If you dare to bother me, I’ll gouge out your eyeballs no matter who you are,. If you value your eyeballs, then don’t get on my bad side. If you talk too much or you love meddling in other peoples’ business, go die. If you’re nosy about others’ business, you can go die too.

Guriko looked forward and made eye contact with Rinne, who showed a gentle expression that seemed to say, “you’re really hopeless, aren’t you, Guriko?”		Being an apparent repetition of the previous introduction, the introduction was finished in one breath.
