#ozawa haruka

[mentauxx]

Yakumo when anyone tries to touch him:

"Is that true?" Mizukawa grabbed Yakumo's arm. 一 Don't touch me. Yakumo muttered inwardly and stepped back, shaking off Mizukawa's hand.

Kyoko tried to touch Yakumo's arm, but he pulled away. Even without words, it was clear he didn't want to be touched.

Also Yakumo with Haruka:

And THIS scene. I'm ngl that was so unnecessary, Yakumo.

It's so funny because imagine if, in this scene, it was Gotou, Ishii, or Makoto with him instead of Haruka? Would he have done the same thing? I don't think so.

Honourable mention:

⚠️Volume 12 spoilers⚠️:

I couldn't fit all the panels in because of the limit on posts but just know that this excludes the other adaptations, the novel, his monologues in the final arc, and other things too...

[decenttheorist]

Volume 11 is soo good 😭😭

I've been waiting for someone to translate it since like 2019 (volume 10 wasn't even translated at the time but the synopsis was enough to make my imagination go wild like what do you mean Haruka ifykyk)

It was worth the wait tho!!!

I'm normally 100% dependent on official content to maintain interest in shows/books so I'm really surprised that I've been a fan for over a decade now.

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo Short Stories - Haruka’s valentine's day

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo novel translation

Short Stories - Haruka's valentine's day

(JP-EN Translation by @cleverwolfpoetry - Editing by Zel)

( other short stories )

[Originally published in Kaminaga-sensei's official blog]

Today is Valentine's Day. So, I’m uploading a revised and summarised version of the short story ‘Haruka's Valentine's Day’, which was uploaded in parts last year.

14 Feb 2021 — Kaminaga Manabu.

-

Ozawa Haruka stopped in front of the Movie Research Circle clubroom —.

She could have just walked into the room and said ‘Hey’ as usual, but hesitation came upon her.

Not because she was bringing trouble. The paper bag Haruka was holding in her hand was the reason for her hesitation.

Today was Valentine's Day. How it came to be remained unclear, but there was said to be a mysterious custom to give chocolates to the man closest to your heart —.

Of course, there were also giri-choco[1] and tomo-choco[2], so giving chocolates had no great implications.

Since he had been helping her all this time, Haruka giving Yakumo chocolate wouldn’t have had the same connotations as a declaration of love. 

Or rather —.

It would have been so if she were to give him some store-bought chocolate.

Last night, Haruka had somehow gotten over excited and made homemade chocolates for Yakumo all by herself.

Furthermore, she even gave the chocolates an original wrapping.

This stuff  already screams ‘honmei-choco[3]’ —.

And now fear suddenly struck her. If Yakumo were to tell her, ‘How troublesome’, she wouldn’t be able to recover.

If things didn't work out, Yakumo probably wouldn't hesitate to ask, 'Why do I have to eat your homemade chocolate?’ or something along those lines.

No, there was a chance Yakumo might not even know that it was Valentine's Day.

That would still be a fine outcome, but it wasn't difficult to imagine that he’d reprimand her with words like ‘Don’t get so enthusiastic about such an event’…

In any case, nothing good would probably come of it.

It had been a lot of work, but maybe she should leave without handing it to him.

“What are you doing over there?”

As she was about to leave, a voice called out to her from behind.

“Eek!” She was so surprised that she shrieked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on —.

“Don't speak so suddenly and in such a loud voice.”

“S-sorry...”

Just like that, Yakumo walked into the Movie Research Circle clubroom. While she was considering whether to just run away, Yakumo looked back at her with a dubious look on his face.

“If you stay there, you’re going to block the passage.”

“Oh, sorry.”

Haruka replied as she entered the room.

“So, what did you come here for?”

Yakumo began as they stepped into the clubroom of the Movie Research Circle and sat across from each other.

“Ah, well, since I've come this far, I thought I'd stop by for a moment...”

Haruka replied with a wry smile.

Yakumo did not seem to be convinced and gave her a look full of suspicion.

“Is that really all?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Kind of questionable. You must’ve picked up some trouble again.”

“No-not really. There’s no trouble.”

— He’s totally suspicious.

Now that it came to this, maybe it would have been better to say right away, ‘It's Valentine's Day, so I came to give you some chocolate —’

She was strangely self-conscious about this, but it didn’t mean that there weren’t people out there making homemade giri-choco and tomo-choco.

If she had simply given him the chocolate, that would have been the end of it. But by concealing the fact, she had evoked odd suspicions upon herself.

That being said, the timing wasn’t good for her to speak.

“You're acting suspiciously. What on earth are you thinking?”

Yakumo continued to pry. He was indeed very perceptive. It had been a mistake attempting to partly deceive him in the first place. 

“Re-really, it's nothing.”

“If so, what’s that paper bag you've been holding for a while like it’s so valuable?”

Yakumo pointed to the paper bag containing the chocolates. As expected for his level of insight, though right now she hated that side of him.

—What should I do?

“Ah.”

After a bit of frantic thinking, Haruka came up with a way to deal with the situation smoothly.

“Actually, I talked to Makoto-san, and she and I decided to give Yakumo-kun some Valentine's chocolates since you’ve been a lot of help.”

By naming Makoto, she casually pointed out that it was not honmei-choco as she placed the paper bag of chocolates on the table.

— Perfect! But will this really be alright?

Such a question came to Haruka's mind.

Emphasising that it was just a giri-choco was the same as reminding Yakumo that she didn’t think anything of him.

In the first place, it might not have been a good idea to borrow Makoto’s name, who wasn’t here, without permission.

“Valentine, huh…”

Yakumo said listlessly as he took a wrapped chocolate out of the paper bag.

“Try one if you like.”

“Did you make these?”

“Um, together with Makoto-san...?’

Why did I decide to call it a collaborative work when I could have said I made it myself?

Before that, Makoto-san, I'm sorry that I took the liberty to use your name.

Yakumo opened the wrapper and was about to put his hand on the chocolate when there was the sound of a knock and the door opened. 

“Hello.”

The one who appeared was, no joke, Makoto —

“Ma-Makoto-san!”

Haruka stood up unintentionally.

What bad timing. No, Makoto did nothing wrong. In the first place, Haruka should have never said a half-lie.

“Why are you that surprised?” 

From Makoto's point of view, it made no sense, but for Haruka it was a matter of life or death.

At this rate, the lie would be exposed, and the story would become more complicated.

“Oh, that's right. Today is Valentine's Day, so I'm giving Yakumo-kun some cho…”

“Aaaah!”

Haruka let out an odd scream while flapping her hands, interrupting Makoto's words. Apparently, Makoto had brought Yakumo Valentine chocolates. If she had handed them over now, Haruka's lie would have been exposed.

Although Makoto had been interrupted, both she and Yakumo were at a loss for words over the sudden eccentric behaviour.

“N-never mind. D-don’t worry about it...”

She had run out of ideas. It was only a matter of time before Haruka's lies were uncovered. Not that she cared any longer.

“Thank you for your time and effort in making the chocolate,”

Yakumo said when the situation calmed down.

— It’s completely out.

Haruka could only hang her head.

“Chocolate? Oh, I see — ” Makoto whispered to herself, then clapped her hands loudly.

“That's right. Haruka-chan and I decided to give Yakumo-kun some chocolate. Well, it was mostly Haruka-chan who made it, though.”

Hearing Makoto's words, Haruka abruptly raised her head.

Somehow, Makoto had guessed most of what had happened so far. She smiled and winked at Haruka.

— You saved me, Makoto-san. Thank you so much.

Yakumo said something along the lines of 'Well, let's get on with it,' and started eating the chocolate.

“Does this work for you?���

Makoto said in a whisper while sitting next to Haruka.

“Y-yes.  Thank you so much.”

“In any case, I went along with the story, but you should have told the truth.”

“You-you’re right...”

Makoto was right. 

Rather than let this happen again, I'll give chocolates to Yakumo honestly next year — Haruka secretly swore in her heart.

File 01 - Chapter 2

The wind blew gently and felt humid.

Haruka Ozawa, having finished her afternoon lecture, walked lightly past the back of Building B.

She was on her way to meet Yakumo Saitou.

Not that she had any particular business with him. The university’s long holiday would begin tomorrow, so Haruka thought it would be nice to stop by and show her face to Yakumo.

This was quite a remarkable development.

Before, Haruka only came to see Yakumo if there was a case to solve. Because of that, Yakumo had labeled her a troublemaker. Thus, She visited him without hesitation, even when she had no particular reason.

Well, maybe Haruka was the only one feeling less hesitant, while Yakumo probably found her visits troublesome. But if she kept worrying about that, nothing would ever change.

Before long, a two-story prefab building came into view. Each floor of the simple structure housed about ten rooms, lent out by the university as club rooms.

Yakumo practically lived in one of the rooms at the very back of the first floor—the one with the sign that read "Movie Research Circle" on the door.

In reality, there was no such thing as a Movie Research Circle. Or rather, the only members were Yakumo and Haruka. The other names on the roster were just ones Yakumo had borrowed to meet the minimum requirement when submitting the club registration to the university administration.

With his cunning, Yakumo had successfully deceived the university and secured a room for himself.

"Hey," Haruka called out as she pushed open the door with the Movie Research Circle plaque.

"Oh, it's you," Yakumo responded. He was sitting in his usual folding chair, looking extremely annoyed.

His skin was pale, and he had a handsome face, but his eyes always looked drowsy, and his messy hair made him seem as if he had just woken up, giving him an unkempt impression.

Haruka had first met Yakumo through a paranormal case.

Yakumo’s left eye, usually hidden by a black contact lens, was actually bright red.

Not only was it red, but it also had the ability to see the spirits of the dead—in other words, ghosts.

Yakumo didn’t just use this ability to solve the paranormal cases Haruka brought to him, he even uncovered previously unknown murder cases.

Since then, they had frequently been involved in paranormal cases together.

Unfortunately, most of those cases were brought by Haruka. Because of that, Yakumo always called her a troublemaker and never missed a chance to complain whenever he had free time.

"What kind of reaction is that? I went out of my way to come here," Haruka said, feigning anger. But Yakumo wasn’t the type to be flustered by her attitude or try to make her feel better.

"I never asked you to come," Yakumo said bluntly, looking at Haruka with his sleepy eyes.

Even if he didn’t say it outright, Haruka knew he was silently asking, "What problem are you bringing this time?"

"Just so you know, there’s no case today," Haruka declared, sitting in the chair opposite Yakumo.

"Then why are you here?"

"No reason. I was just curious about what you were doing."

"I really don’t like being watched by you."

Such sharp words—but Yakumo was always like this.

At first, Haruka had been annoyed by it, but by now, she had gotten used to it. If she got offended every time, she wouldn’t be able to deal with Yakumo.

"Oh, sorry then."

"If you get it, why don’t you just go home?"

"What’s that supposed to mean?"

"I’m saying I don’t have time to entertain someone with nothing better to do," Yakumo grumbled, glaring at the chessboard on the table.

"What are you doing?" Haruka asked.

Yakumo raised his left eyebrow and pointed at the chessboard. "What do you think this is?"

"A chessboard."

"Oh, you know?"

"Of course, anyone would."

"Then let me ask you this, is there anyone stupid enough to use a chessboard for something other than playing chess?"

He could have just said he was playing chess, but instead, he made it unnecessarily complicated.

Besides, that wasn’t what Haruka was asking.

She was wondering—can chess even be played alone?

Haruka was about to press the question when the sound of the door opening interrupted her.

Turning around, she saw a familiar face.

"Isshin-San!"

"Haruka, it’s been a while."

The man standing there, smiling warmly like a Buddha, was Yakumo’s uncle, Isshin.

He was also the one who had named and raised Yakumo.

Dressed in monk’s robes, he carried an air of authority. His wise manner of speaking made him seem older than he actually was—he was only in his thirties.

Since Yakumo’s mother had disappeared, Isshin had taken on the responsibility of raising him. At that time, Isshin had only been in his twenties, so raising Yakumo in place of his parents must have been tough, but Isshin had never let it show.

And like Yakumo, Isshin’s left eye was also red.

However, it wasn’t naturally red. Unlike Yakumo, Isshin wore a red contact lens on purpose.

It was a remarkable display of affection. He had chosen to make himself seem strange so he could understand Yakumo’s feelings, even if just a little—by sharing in his suffering.

"You two are as close as ever," Isshin said, nodding repeatedly.

Haruka felt embarrassed by the warm description. She mumbled a vague response, "No, that’s not…"

On the other hand, Yakumo grumbled, "I never imagined I’d be mistaken for being close to her."

The stark difference in their responses made Haruka feel like crying.

"So, why are you here, Uncle?" Yakumo asked lazily.

Although Yakumo’s words seemed rude to the uncle who had raised him, Haruka somewhat shared his sentiment. It was unusual for Isshin to visit Yakumo in his room like this.

"Hmm," Isshin nodded, then sat down beside Haruka before speaking. "Actually, I wanted to discuss something with you—"

It was rare for Isshin to want to discuss something with Yakumo.

While Haruka tilted her head, wondering what the topic could be, Yakumo looked sullen as if he already knew.

"Let me guess—someone from the danka experienced a paranormal event, and you want me to solve it? Something like that, right?" Yakumo propped his chin up with an annoyed expression.

Haruka found his reaction cute.

"You know me too well," Isshin said, surprised but still calm.

“Uncle isn't very good at hiding things. Everything shows on your face.”

"You're right."

Isshin scratched his head with a troubled expression while letting out a bitter laugh.

"What kind of paranormal incident?" Haruka asked.

Yakumo immediately interrupted, "Don't ask unnecessary questions."

"Why?"

There shouldn't be a problem if they just listened to the story first.

"If I hear it, I'll have no choice but to help."

So that's how it was.

Yakumo actually disliked getting involved in supernatural matters and usually refused with various excuses. However, he had a nature that wouldn't allow him to ignore people in trouble.

That’s why, even though he always complained, in the end, he would drag his heavy body up and accept the request for help.

Especially if the request came from Isshin—there was no way he could refuse after hearing the story.

"Isshin-san, what happened?" Haruka asked.

Yakumo let out a sigh and held his head.

However, since he didn’t try to stop Haruka, it seemed that from the beginning, Yakumo had already intended to accept Isshin's request.

"Well then—" Isshin began his story calmly. "Along the Fuji River in Yamanashi Prefecture, there is a sake brewery that has been passed down for generations since the Edo period."

"Yamanashi Prefecture?" Yakumo asked, suspicion written on his face.

"Yes. One of my temple's danka has an acquaintance at the brewery, and they asked for my help," Isshin answered calmly.

"What happened there?" Haruka asked.

"Hm," Isshin nodded once before continuing. "Apparently, a woman named Shizuko, who inherited the brewery, has recently been disturbed by strange noises every night."

"Noises—"

"Yes. They say that at night, while she is sleeping, she hears a scratching sound."

"Couldn’t it just be rats or something?" Yakumo asked lazily.

"If it were just a sound, she might have thought so. At first, Shizuko did think it was rats, but—" Isshin cut off his sentence briefly.

Maybe it was unintentional, but Isshin's light, slow, and roundabout way of speaking made Haruka’s back shiver just from listening.

It felt scarier than any ghost story she had ever watched on television.

"They say that suddenly, a shadow of a person stands beside her bed and whispers something to her."

"If no one's getting hurt, just leave it alone," Yakumo said while suppressing a yawn.

If a shadow stood beside her bed every night, Haruka knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully out of fear.

But for Yakumo, who could see spirits at all times, ghosts appearing and disappearing were just part of his daily life.

"Even so, something feels off," Isshin said, furrowing his brows in confusion.

"Off?" Yakumo asked back.

Isshin nodded before continuing. "According to Shizuko, after the shadow whispers something, it always disappears into a hanging scroll on the bedroom wall."

"A hanging scroll...?"

"Yes. There is an old hanging scroll in Shizuko’s room with a painting on it."

"So, you mean the ghost comes out of the painting?" Haruka asked excitedly.

"We're not sure yet. But from Shizuko’s story, I think that’s highly likely," Isshin replied, then turned to Yakumo.

Yakumo smirked, lifting the corner of his left lip. "I can’t say anything based on just the story… Besides, what’s this 'off' feeling you mentioned earlier?"

Isshin nodded in understanding. "Yesterday, I asked Shizuko to send me a photo of the painting. The painting feels… unsettling."

"Does it have something special?" Yakumo asked, sounding uninterested.

"It’s an ancient Japanese painting that seems to have been made during the Edo period, but… rather than explaining it with words, it’s faster if you just see it for yourself," Isshin said as he pulled out his phone and displayed the photo on the screen.

Yakumo looked at the phone screen. Haruka also peeked at the photo with a sense of dread.

"Eh?" Haruka gasped the moment the painting entered her vision.

Even Yakumo, who was usually calm, was startled. He furrowed his brows, his mouth slightly open.

It was a painting of a man wearing a white kimono.

It seemed to have been painted during the Edo period, but his hair was messy and unbound. The man stood like a ghost, carrying a kongozue on his shoulder while gazing forward with sharp eyes.

His aura felt both strong and reliable, yet sorrowful. A strange painting.

But what stood out the most were the man’s eyes.

Both of them were bright red, like blood.

"This..." Haruka started, but she didn't know what to say next.

"Anyway, the person depicted in this painting feels unsettling. That’s why I came to discuss it with you," Isshin concluded.

Yakumo didn’t say anything. He just kept staring at the old-looking painting.

Perhaps he was feeling conflicted.

If the ghost really came out of the painting as Isshin described, then it was likely that the spirit was the stern-looking man depicted in it.

Yakumo had a left eye that was red and could see spirits. He had inherited this trait from his father.

However, his father's eye didn’t just suddenly turn red.

Finding out who the person in the painting was might be the same as uncovering Yakumo’s own origins.

"So? Can you investigate what’s happening to Shizuko?" Isshin asked, throwing a curious look at Yakumo.

Yakumo sighed deeply. "I don’t mind investigating, but I can’t make a judgment without seeing the place in person."

"You can't tell just from this?" Haruka asked.

Yakumo grimaced. "I can't even tell if there's really a ghost or not just by looking at a painting’s photo."

"Yeah, right…"

As Yakumo had said, he couldn't judge without seeing it in person.

"In that case, how about we go there and see for ourselves? I'll contact the person," Isshin said with a smile.

"I'm curious too," Haruka added.

Fortunately, their university break started tomorrow. Besides, she had no plans at all. Her schedule was completely empty.

Once in a while, a trip like this might be nice.

"Don't tell me you're coming too?" Yakumo said to Haruka, looking displeased.

"I can, right? Mr. Isshin?"

Haruka asking Isshin instead.

As expected, Isshin responded casually, "Of course."

Yakumo looked unsatisfied, but he didn’t argue further. "Fine, we can go, but how do we get there?" Yakumo asked, crossing his arms.

They only knew the location was in Yamanashi Prefecture but had no idea where exactly. It would definitely take a long time to get there.

"Yeah. My car is being repaired right now… We can take the train, but then we'd have to walk forty minutes from the nearest station to the sake brewery."

For those living in big cities, traveling by train was normal and didn’t feel like a hassle. But outside the city, it was different.

Many areas were hard to reach by public transportation. Even grocery shopping would be inconvenient without a personal vehicle. Haruka’s hometown was the same.

"Maybe we can rent a car?" Haruka suggested.

"You’re going to drive?" Yakumo asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No way… My license is just for display… Ah, how about you drive, Yakumo?"

"I’ll pass."

"Why?"

"Ever since someone caused trouble on a mountain road, I’ve refused to drive."

Okay, that "someone" was definitely Haruka. They had a bit of a fight before over a ghost that appeared in a tunnel on a mountain road.

Now that she thought about it, Haruka hadn't seen Yakumo drive since then.

"Well, it can't be helped. I'll drive," Isshin said.

Yakumo stopped him. "That won’t be necessary."

"Hm?"

"Our driver is here."

What did Yakumo mean?

Haruka and Isshin tilted their heads in confusion as the door suddenly slammed open.

"Sorry to interrupt." A voice announced the arrival of Gotou as he stepped into the room.

The impression I'm getting as a bystander who hasn't watched that much toku, is Inoue women are either the realest girls in all of fiction (Haruka Onisister, Ozawa Agito) or uh... (glances at Kiva) not that.

admittedly you are getting cherrypicked examples here bc i do just happen to be simultaneously watching his two shows where the girls are REALLY treated well

Exactly. Trash like Tatsuya could never.

'The person who pushed your sister off the stone steps was – ' 'Stop!' 'You, wasn't it?' 'No!' Yuuko’s scream drowned out Yakumo’s voice. After a silence, Yakumo said, ‘So you’re still going to deny it. Then I’ll ask the person herself.’ – The person herself? What did he mean? In response to Ishii’s question, a woman appeared from the tree of deceit’s shadow ���

'Eeek!' shrieked Ishii, leaping up when he saw a woman suddenly appear from the shadow of the tree of deceit. The woman wore a blazer school uniform. The one from the school Ishii had gone to. Her hair hung in front of her face, so he couldn’t see it clearly. However, that was – 'Kosaka Yukari-san…' said Ishii. Yuuko was shocked. 'It was you… I'll kill you…' the woman moaned, approaching Yuuko with the movements of a zombie. 'N-no…' said Yuuko, her voice trembling as she backed away. The woman continued to walk towards Yuuko. Even though the situation was so strange, Yakumo just watched silently. 'It was you… You killed me… You pushed me down the stairs… and killed me…' The woman’s cry echoed through the shrine. Yuuko collapsed to the floor, perhaps in fear. She took deep breaths as she sobbed. – At this rate… Ishii tried to go help Yuuko, but he was so afraid that his knees buckled. He couldn’t move. The woman’s hand reached out towards Yuuko’s neck. 'Stop!' Gotou was the one who yelled. He rammed his body into the woman. 'Aah!' shrieked the woman as she fell. At this stage, Ishii also noticed something strange. A ghost without a body couldn’t be rammed into. 'Honestly, that hurts.' The woman spoke in a clear voice, completely different than it had been before, and stood up, taking off her wig. Ishii had seen that face before. 'H-Haruka-chan!' 'Why is it you, Haruka-chan?' said Gotou in surprise. Haruka rubbed her knee and glared at Yakumo. 'Why didn't you explain beforehand?' 'I forgot.' In contrast to Haruka’s anger, Yakumo just replied with a yawn. It looked like Yakumo had used Haruka to put on a good show. 'Honestly. You're the worst.' 'Don't say that. It worked wonders.' Yakumo responded to Haruka’s complaint with a smile.

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo Short Stories - the tree of promise

Shinrei Tantei Yakumo novel translation

Short Stories - the tree of promise

(JP-EN Translation by @cleverwolfpoetry - Editing by Zel)

( other short stories )

-

“Hey–”

Ozawa Haruka opened the door to the Movie Research Circle clubroom.

The room was dimly lit and quiet.

“Yakumo-kun, are you here?”

When she called out to him, she heard something squirm like a worm in the corner of the room.

If she had been clueless about it, she would have screamed, but Haruka knew the true nature of the object.

“How long are you going to continue sleeping?” said Haruka, and Yakumo, who was wrapped up in a sleeping bag, woke up, scratching his tousled bedhead.

“You again ...”

Yakumo grimaced in annoyance and let out a big yawn.

“What's with that tone? It sounded as if I’m annoying you by coming here.”

“Not as if. You are annoying me.”

What an irritating way to talk. However, there'd be no end to it if Haruka were to get upset over this much.

“I thought I should thank you — for the other day.”

“Thank me? For what?”

“For helping me with Mai that time.”

“Ah, that ...”

Yakumo stood up and stretched, then rubbed his left eye sleepily. He wasn't wearing his contacts at the moment, as he'd just woken up.

That bright, beautiful red pupil — as fascinating as ever to watch.

“Hey, is there anything you want to eat?”

“Something I want to eat?”

“I'll treat you to something as thanks.”

“Did you think you could get away with that much?”

Yakumo sighed in annoyance. 

“I did...”

“That's optimistic of you.”

“W-well… I don't have that much money.”

“If you don't have money, use your body.”

— Wh-what does that mean?

Haruka couldn’t ask, and only got flustered instead.

“Are you having a fever?”

“Pardon?”

“Your face is red.”

“No, this is… um..”

Looking at the confused Haruka, Yakumo shook his head slightly and then looked at his watch. 

“It’s already this late? — Anyway, let's go.”

“Go — Where to?”

“In place of your thanks, come help out too.”

“Help out with what?”

“My uncle asked me to do something for him. Anyway, let's go.”

Yakumo said so one-sidedly and quickly left the room.

Acting however he pleased, as always. 

It was in Haruka’s sad nature to immediately follow after Yakumo, despite her dissatisfaction — .

***

“This place…”

Haruka said involuntarily as she looked up at the towering cedar tree.

“Yeah.”

Yakumo replied, yawning.

The place Yakumo took Haruka to was the shrine where Mai's incident had happened — in front of the tree of deceit, to be precise.

Nobody knew how the stories came to be, but legend has it that if you lie before this tree, you would be cursed.

The tree had a strange aura to it that would make one feel uneasy just by looking.

“What are we doing here?”

“I'm going to put a curse on this tree.”

After murmuring this, Yakumo tenderly brushed his palm against the trunk of the tree.

“By putting a curse on it — what do you mean?”

“Exactly as said.”

“Come on, explain properly.”

“Go and hide behind the tree. When I give you the signal, just say what’s written on this paper.” 

Yakumo said so and held out a piece of paper to her.

Thanks.

The written note contained a single word. 

“What is this?”

“Don't overthink it. All you have to do is say the word.”

She had no idea what was running through Yakumo’s mind.

“All I have to do is say it ... and the signal is?”

“It's almost time. Hide.”

She was interrupted unceremoniously.

Haruka hid behind the tree of deceit with a feeling of dissatisfaction.

As she gazed towards them, the sky was dyed in red.

— What a beautiful sunset.

While thinking so, she heard the sound of approaching footsteps.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

Yakumo’s voice could be heard. Someone seemed to have arrived.

— Who could it be?

Haruka strained her ears and held her breath, pushing her urging curiosity to the depths of her heart. 

“So — how did it go?”

The voice she heard in reply was that of a girl.

“Just like you said, you are cursed.”

What? At Yakumo's words, Haruka could hardly keep herself from blurting out loud. 

“I see ... as I thought, because I lied ... I was cursed by this tree, wasn't I?”

The girl's voice trembled. It seemed more out of grief than fear. 

“That isn’t it.”

Yakumo said, loud and clear.

“But ...”

“The one who cursed you is yourself.”

“I — myself?”

“Yeah. You know what this tree is called, don’t you?”

“The tree of deceit —"

The girl whispered back.

“That is wrong. The tree of deceit is an afterthought, a name given to it out of malice. In reality, it has another name.”

Yakumo said quietly.

“Another name?”

“Yes. The true name of this tree is the tree of promise.”

— The tree of promise.

Haruka repeated in her mind.

It clearly had a different meaning from the tree of deceit, where you would be cursed if you lie.

“If you make a promise in front of this tree, it will always come true — that was the original legend.”

Right as Yakumo finished speaking, the branches of the tree swayed in the wind, making a rustling sound. 

“But I told a lie and I was cursed ...”

The girl said in a hoarse voice after a moment of silence.

“It is a curse you have cast by yourself.”

“By myself —?”

“Yes. You blame yourself for not keeping your promise with your younger sister. These thoughts are tying down your heart.”

“But it is my fault that my sister ...”

The voice of the girl, which seemed to be struggling to get out of her lips, was wet with tears.

Haruka felt a stabbing pain in her chest.

She didn’t know the details of the situation, but the girl’s sister was probably already dead. Furthermore, the girl believed that her death had been caused by the girl’s failure to keep the promise she had made to her sister in front of the tree of deceit.

— The same as me.

Haruka had also lost her twin sister in an accident. She had gone to retrieve a ball thrown by Haruka and had been hit by a car.

From that moment until she had met Yakumo, she had lived her life blaming herself. She thought it was a pitiful way of living, one that kept her heart bound with chains.

No one would wish for such a life, but Haruka painfully understood the sort of mental state that led one into thinking that they were left with no other option.

“Your sister doesn't think that way.”

“Such words of consolation ...”

“It isn't consolation. Now, here comes your sister.”

“Eh?”

“There, don't you hear? Your sister's voice —”

Yakumo made a point to speak particularly loudly.

As soon as she understood that this was the signal, Haruka became aware of Yakumo's intentions. 

“Thanks —”

Haruka said after taking a deep breath.

Riddled with emotions, it was a terribly vague way of delivering the line.

— Is this really going to work?

There was a long silence.

The sound of the wind rushed past, shaking the trees.

“Rui ...”

The girl finally murmured between sobs.

Only the girl's sobbing voice echoed over the shrine grounds.

Haruka leaned her back against the tree and narrowed her eyes, admiring the sky. For if she hadn't, tears would surely have streamed down her face. 

“Now you know. Your sister doesn't hold a grudge against you. Besides — the promise you made to her is not over yet, is it?”

Yakumo addressed her after a while.

“Yes.”

The girl answered clearly, sniffling.

“As I said before, the real name of this tree is the tree of promise. Don't forget it.”

Yakumo said, and once again the girl replied, “Yes.”

Then, she walked away from the shrine, thanking him repeatedly.

“We're done.”

Yakumo said in a calm tone.

“Geez, in that case, you owe me a proper explanation now.”

Haruka complained while stepping out from behind the tree.

“Why are you crying too?”

She thought she'd been able to hold back, but apparently the moment she let go, her tears began to spill.

“N… nothing, I'm not crying.”

She hurriedly turned away from Yakumo and wiped her tears.

“Well, then. Let's go.”

Yakumo said bluntly before walking away at speed.

— Ugh. He’s so self-centered.

Despite her discontent, Haruka followed Yakumo's back.

“Though, I didn't know that this tree could have a different name ...”

Haruka spoke as they approached the stone steps, and Yakumo suddenly stopped.

“That was a lie.”

“Eh?”

“A curse, to be precise.”

“What do you mean?” 

Haruka asked, and Yakumo turned around and looked straight at the towering cedar tree.

“This tree has accumulated a lot of negative emotions because of the name it has been given — the tree of deceit.”

“Yup.”

The incident that started with Mai was no different.

“That is why I put a new curse on it. That tree is the tree of promise — I said.”

“I see ...”

Haruka's face naturally became at ease.

A tree of promise that collected people's wishes was definitely better than a tree of deceit that collected negative emotions.

The very sort of idea one could expect coming from Yakumo.

Haruka put her hands together and made a wish to the cedar tree wrapped with a sacred straw rope.

— May this tree become the tree of promise.

“Hurry up. Or I'm leaving you here.”

When she looked back, Yakumo had already descended halfway through the stone steps.  

— Not even a room for the slightest aftertaste.

“Wait up,”

Haruka immediately tried to follow, yet suddenly halted and looked at that cedar tree one more time.

It might just be her imagination, but that tree, standing in the evening dusk, gave an inexplicable feel of tenderness — .

Footnotes

This story was originally published as a leaflet included with the 2013 Shinrei Tantei Yakumo - Tree of Deceit stage play DVD. It didn't occur to me until I nearly finished editing that since I have a copy of that DVD, I do own the original leaflet as well. So I thought I'd include a picture of what it looks like.
