Taki walked to the backyard with her.

As Natsume saw her,
he instantly became relieved.

"Are you okay?"

She gave a smile,

"I am."

"We were worried since you was absent."

Tanuma stated.

"Sorry for making you all worried.
My problems are all now solved."

She replied.

"That's great."

"..um."

Everyone looked at her.

"What's wrong?"

"You all know about yokais.. right?"

The three of them looked at each other
and nodded.

"Appearantly...."

She then told them about her situation.
They all listened and
stayed quiet until her explanation is finished.

She felt like a weight had been lifted off.
And she didn't regret it.
