Wow, it's pitch black out here!

I'm sorry. Practice ran late…

Don't worry about it. Besides, I was the one who said I'd stay back with you after school.

But now it's dangerous to walk home in the dark.

I wish I finished up with practice earlier.

Mwahaha…

My poor little demon is so easily frightened! This little bit of darkness is nothing to be afraid of. It couldn't hold a candle to the abyss that I fell into…

It was total darkness that nary a single beam of light could penetrate! Compared to that, this starry night sky is practically high noon.

You aren't scared even though it's so dark? I couldn't walk home alone like this. I'd be waiting for a ghost or something to pop out at any second.

G-Ghosts aren't r-r-r-real! What nonsense are you talking about, Ruby?!

S-Sure, it's a little dark, but it's not like we can't see anything at all. There's no need to be afraid.

Yeah, that's true!

There's no need to be scared with Mistress Yohane here with me. You're used to the dark, after all!

That's right! Trust in me!

Okay, I will! Here!

Ahhh! Wh-What are you clinging to me for?!

*Giggle* I'm trusting in you, Yoshiko!

F-Fine… But it's Yohane, you know.

All right! Time for you to guide me the whooole way home like this!
