(A bug appeared in the previous chapter: Kohinata Motoyo had not yet returned to the country at that time, which has been corrected. If you are reading the revised version, please act as if nothing happened.)
"I will definitely cure you."
With that promise, Komori Ai disappeared.
The next morning, when Kagura Hikaru stepped out of the door, she found that her father and stepmother had completely forgotten about her.
She went to the guest room where Komori Ai had been staying and found a clumsily written letter on the bed.
[Dear—
I have gone to find someone to help.
Komori Ai.
Yours sincerely.]
The child didn't know many characters; the letter was quite simple but was a huge help.
Kagura Hikaru rubbed her eyes, which were deadlier than yesterday's, folded the envelope neatly, and stuffed it into her pocket.
Looking for help? Apart from her social circle and the people from the Happiness Cult, who else could Komori Ai possibly know?
