Horror/Fear Anime: Starting with a Tomie Hairstyle.

Who's so unethical as to steal his pen?

Kayako, who was standing to the side, lowered her head and hesitated for a while before mustering her courage: "Kyushi, if you need a pen, I have one here."

Actually, when Jiuzhiche was in the ward, he felt that Kayako was quite obedient to him, and he had a suspicion.

However, he didn't want to admit it.

Or rather, they don't want to face the fact that they are being targeted by a future curse.

But as long as Kayako doesn't die, and he tries to influence her, Kayako shouldn't become Ju-on, right?

"Well, thank you very much then." Kyushu Che accepted Kayako's kindness.

The pen cap is shaped like a cute little cat, and the pen body is covered with adorable little patterns. Jiuzhiche holds the pen between two fingers and rotates it with ease.

"Oh, by the way, I've washed your father's shoes and put them in the locker. I'll give them to you after school."

"You don't need to pay it back." Kayako's voice gradually weakened. "Anyway, Dad is dead."

That's strange, so Kayako doesn't really care much about her father.

Jiuzhiche suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, "This is ultimately your father's keepsake, it's not appropriate for me to take it."

"I'll do whatever Jiuzhi says."

There's no need to be so obvious, thank you.

Jiuzhiche didn't know how to respond, so he pretended not to hear it.

The main thing is that even a blind person like Kayako could see her feelings!

In the original work, Kayako is actually a very patient person. Her husband, Takeo Saeki, was a tenant in Kayako's house. Taking advantage of Kayako's parents' death and her depressed state after dropping out of school, he not only married Kayako but also obtained all of Kayako's family's property.

However, Takeo Saeki was not a good husband. Although he would not hit her, he would throw things and curse when he was in a bad mood. Kayako endured it all and had a child, Toshio Saeki.

This was the beginning of a tragedy.

Takeo Saeki had always wanted a daughter, but after a long time, Kayako did not conceive again. Takeo Saeki went to the hospital for a checkup and found out that he had azoospermia.

To put it simply, people who get this disease will almost never be able to have children in their lifetime.

When he got back, he went through Kayako's things and, by sheer bad luck, found her diary, which was full of expressions of love for Kobayashi Shunsuke. He was convinced that Kayako was cheating on him and beat her.

Gradually, it developed into murderous intent. One day, he went completely mad, wrapped Kayako in a plastic bag, and brought the knife down again and again.

Those longings and attachments to the world, along with the emotions of years of passive acceptance and compromise, twisted into unparalleled hatred and resentment. And so, Kayako died...

She hated everyone, hated the whole world, hated the injustice she suffered, and hated her loneliness and isolation over the years.

Ju-on was born.

Judging from the original work, if she and Kobayashi could be together, wouldn't everything be different? But given Kayako's original personality, it would be difficult for Kobayashi to fall in love with her.

In college, Kobayashi was the only person who ever gave Kayako a second glance and even offered her a handkerchief. This led Kayako to develop a crush on Kobayashi, stalk him, take him home when he was drunk, and even peep under his bed at him and his girlfriend having sex...

Kyushi Tsutomu glanced at Kayako, pondered for a moment, and decided that no matter what happened later, he couldn't let Kayako be deceived by Saeki Takeo again.

"Kayako, do you have any other family members? I mean, do you have any relatives?"

"There are others, but they are distant relatives with whom we don't keep in touch much."

Kayako felt a sweet warmth in her heart; Che was showing her concern again.

If she weren't worried that calling Che's name too early would scare him, she would have liked to just call him "Che".

"Is the house rented out? Are there any tenants?"

"Yes... we have a house that we rented out, which is close to the one I live in now."

How did Che know? Did he investigate me?

There was no fear, only a thrilling excitement.

This even caused Kayako to tremble all over.

"What's the tenant's name? Kayako. Now that you're living alone, you need to be extra careful. We've been through thick and thin together, and we definitely don't want anything to happen to you. You need to be careful about everything."

"Hmm! Hmm! The tenant's name seems to be Saeki?" Kayako nodded emphatically, her breathing becoming heavier. "I know that Kujiro is concerned about me, otherwise I would have cleaned out that house so that Kujiro could move in!"

Finally, she added, "I'm happy to stay here indefinitely!"

"..."

What kind of person do they take him for?

Jiuzhi Che waved his hand: "Don't misunderstand, I don't want to rent your house. I'm just reminding you that many people might deliberately approach you because you're a young girl with no one to rely on. Don't be easily fooled."

"No, I won't." Kayako had calmed down a bit by now. She raised her head slightly, revealing half of her clear eyes. "With Kyuji here, I won't fall for it."

Hmm... Putting aside Kayako's easily agitated emotions, she doesn't seem to be that extreme or gloomy. Mainly, she's extremely beautiful and looks like an innocent and easily fooled female college student.

—She should have had a bright and beautiful youth.

Jiuzhiche suddenly thought of this sentence, and he couldn't help but say, "Don't trust others so easily, even me."

Kayako's eyelashes trembled slightly. She didn't say anything or move. Then, the corners of her mouth slowly curled up. "From the moment Jiuzhi was fighting that monster in the hospital, I felt that Jiuzhi must be a good person."

A truly wonderful person.

She added a sentence in her mind.

Jiuzhiche paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

A good person? He just wanted to live a good life.

"But, Jiuzhi, are you really not going to consider staying at my house?" Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Kayako spoke more fluently and boldly. For some reason, she was very determined to persuade Jiuzhi to stay at her house.

"Tamagawa-cho, Kaze-dai-cho, Sakura-mi-cho, Kujiro-kun, you can choose whichever you want to go."

"...Do you own many houses?"

"Well, a dozen or so sets."

Rich lady, I'm hungry!

For a moment, Jiuzhiche thought that giving in to the immature steel wool wouldn't be so bad; he could live off a woman's kindness!

But the thought of Tomie meeting Kayako and then mocking her to the point of making her question her existence would be terrible.

So he reluctantly declined: "No... I'm fine where I live now."

"Oh..." Kayako was a little disappointed, but it's okay!

She could sense that her relationship with Che had taken another step forward today!

She saw many things clearly. Che... didn't like her, but the brain is the brain, and reason is reason. Sometimes the brain doesn't keep up with reason, and she always overthinks.

I have a feeling... that Che is interested in her.

Actually, she wasn't wrong, right?

"You two who were whispering, stand up!"

The teachers had reached their limit and could no longer tolerate it. Did they think she was blind? They huddled together and kept whispering to each other!

"Shh-"

Kayako's face flushed red.

Fortunately, Jiuzhi Che came to her rescue: "Teacher, I am a new transfer student and I don't know many things, so I asked Chuanyou. I apologize for disturbing the class."

Seeing that the young man was handsome and had a good attitude in admitting his mistake, the teacher's anger dissipated a lot: "Alright, don't daydream next time, sit down."

The class passed without incident.

As soon as get out of class ended, Kamei Yu approached, but not to look for Kyushige Tetsu. She went to Kayako and said, "Hi, I want to be your friend. Where are you going? Take me with you."

Chapter 23 The Face Thief, Oblivious to His Own Fate

"Boom boom boom!"

The urgent knocking echoed throughout the room until it grew louder and louder, at which point Tomie slowly walked over and turned the handle.

Outside the door, a face identical to Tomie's was revealed.

"What, you're staying at my place and don't want to leave? You imposter!"

Tomie entered with a sneer, saying smugly, "Ache saw right through you. You imposter, get the hell out of here!"

Inside the house, Tomie remained calm and composed, letting out a cold snort: "What A-Che needs right now is money, and you have nothing. How dare you come back!"

"Enough with the chit-chat! It's none of your business what I do with him!"

"Get out!"

"I knew it, you wouldn't leave even if you lost the bet."

Although Tomie already knew, a surge of anger still welled up inside her. She pulled out a fruit knife, her eyes filled with malice.

Tomie's fierceness also flared up inside the house, but she didn't really want to fight inside. If she got bloodied, not only would new imposters grow, but Kujitsu would definitely make her clean up!

Then, Tomie raised an eyebrow inside the room: "What's the use of being fierce and tough? Ache will abandon you sooner or later because you have no money and will only cause him trouble. If I were you, I wouldn't stay here and humiliate myself."

She uttered the last four words one by one, and her expression became calm.

She could sense the imposter's emotions at any time, so she clearly knew what the imposter was thinking.

Tomie knew perfectly well what the other person was thinking, but she had to admit that there was a small part of truth to what she said.

She didn't really mind being a parasite, letting men spend money on her; that was her natural right, and she even wanted to do it.

However, Jiu Zhiche's pockets were empty, and in time, this beautiful and precious parasite would eventually be abandoned by Jiu Zhiche.

Before awakening as a monster, Tomie's worldview wasn't this dark. Even though she clearly knew the nature of men, she wouldn't think all the bad things. But now, her views on men are limited to endlessly speculating about the worst possible outcomes.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to go out and gain power, then come back and drive away that imposter!

Tomie chuckled inside the room: "Goodbye, and may you soon ascend to paradise."

"Snapped!"

Tomie remained expressionless, withdrew her hand, quickly retreated, gave Tomie inside the room one last fierce glare, and disappeared into the corridor.

"You bitch!" Tomie, furious, grabbed a cup and smashed it outside the room.

Tomie's chest heaved a few times before she reached the bathroom, where the handprint on her face was clearly visible in the mirror.
