Monobeno -Happy End-

After six years, Tooru returned with his younger sister Natsuha to the remote village of Monobeno deep in the mountains of Kochi prefecture. They reunited with the Akashaguma (child-like Yamori Youkai) Sumi, the Kasayou Hishakaku and his childhood friend and self-proclaimed fiancée Alice. They played in the mountains, visited the shrine, and were visited by the Ushi Oni Tooko just like in the past.

Just as they were getting used to living in Monobeno, it was time for the Shichi Seisai summer festival dedicated to the local deity Himemiya-sama. The festival was lively, concluding with the masked dance. While watching the dancing, Natsuha suddenly started shaking, complaining that her body felt cold. Tooru quickly took her to Naotake — the doctor and Alice's father, but nothing seemed to be wrong with her. They went to play in the nearby stream the next day. Hearing the waterfall caused Natsuha to panic and runoff in fear, but once again, they couldn't find a reason for her peculiar actions. That night, she appeared in front of them very much an adult, and she bled in her nether regions for the first time. Unable to figure out what caused these inexplicable changes, they could only calm her down and watch over her. Another shock awaited them in the morning when they found Natsuha had returned to her normal size, but without any memories of the day before.

They decided to head back to the city for a proper examination. Unfortunately, there was a major landslide that blocked off the only world into the village. Natsuha wished to leave badly, saying that something scary is coming for her. What was causing Natsuha's changes? Was it a disease or a curse? Tooru was determined to find the cause and a way to save Natsuha.
