[mari-lair]

any other thoughts for the teru model au? i am absolutely obsessed with it lol

(Model AU: Part 1 .  Part 2 . Part 3)

Of course!

Teru and Akane still met up semi-regularly, so the number of blurry leaked pics of Akane in a variety of different disguises increased, to the point there were compilations and memes about the cheap, typically repeated, props Akane use to hide his identity. The atrocious stripped cap Teru gifted him and his own big scarf are the fan favorites. 

They also caught Teru calling him ‘Aoi’, and since it is a very common name (they just assumed Teru calls him by his first name) they still don’t know his identity. Many aren't even sure of his gender.

Photos of them are popular enough to catch the attention of Teru’s marketing team, realizing the blurriest pic of Teru staring fondly at his ‘mysterious lover’ could consistently compete with their professional photos in engagement, sometimes even surpass it, so imagine how much attention it would get if it was high quality? How much it would sell?

They ask Teru to bring his friend to a shoot, just to have Akane hang around to put Teru at ease. They would treat him well.

Teru is reluctant… On one hand, he trusts his team, the industry may be toxic, and the manager can get too greedy, but Teru tend to have the final word, so he believes they would indeed treat Akane well, plus Teru would love to have Akane around! It would make work 1000% times more fun!! But on the other hand… Akane is the most beautiful person he has ever seen, this place will die to make him a model, and Teru really doesn’t want his only friend mixed up in this business, aware of how seriously Akane took all his jobs and responsibilities and not wanting him to adapt to this fabricated atmosphere, or deal with the brutal judgment that comes with fame.

He ends up inviting Akane to work before the agency found a way to contact him directly, insisting that Akane should go in disguise, which made his friend a bit confused, but he accepted. Some of the other models were curious about Akane, asking when they started dating and being genuinely surprised when the boy corrected they are just friends and Teru is being a mischievous bastard.

Teru had the most successful session since, the most popular photo being one where he laughed in surprise when Akane broke the silence to casually mention how his job kind of sucks, adding an awkward and very embarrassed “In all due respect!” when he realized he wasn’t just being rude to Teru like usual, but to a whole crew. And the shot where Teru had flirted with Akane, who was beside the main camera.

His most fanatic fans caught up that 'his Aoi' must have been in the booth. It was the first time anyone referred to Akane as 'his Aoi' and Teru was surprised by how giggly that made him, going as far as to reblog the post theorizing 'his Aoi' had visited. The resulting explosion of hype was very amusing.

Akane visited a lot, taking it as an opportunity to talk more with Teru. He got so used to visiting that he even brought his homework to work on while Teru was busy in the makeup room or just needed in private with higher ups.

One day, Akane took off his disguise, it was too hot for it, and Teru inwardly panicked, but much to his surprise, no one paid Akane any attention. Teru was confused. He asked Sakura, a veteran model and very wise colleague, if they don’t have any more model spots available or something, and once she understood what he was getting at, she gave Teru a funny look “Your friend is… cute, Minamoto-san, but this is the highest standard modeling agency in town. He doesn’t really stand out.”

Teru was baffled. Sakura was baffled too, realizing at that second Teru was down bad.

Akane doesn't check social media much, so he wasn't aware or even that interested in just how much attention he was getting. He got too comfortable. Even with his disguise, people at school eventually connect Akane with the mysterious 'Aoi' when they saw him walk out of the agency carrying a familiar school backpack.

The next day, Akane woke up to a ton of messages from Lemon.

JSHK Questions and Answers

Since I love lists, and I want to organize these for future reference, this is my compilation of the questions I still have as of the most recent chapter, and attempts to answer them with theories and headcanons with no bases whatsoever. So, let us begin!

1.) How does a human become a supernatural? 

Among the Seven Mysteries, only Hanako and Akane-kun were or are humans. Shijima isn’t the original Shijima Mei, and the current Mitsuba was created from the original Mitsuba. Is there a difference between a human becoming a simple supernatural or becoming a School Mystery? Are humans who died and become ghosts, like original Mitsuba, considered Supernaturals? Is Sakura one such human-turned-ghost-turned supernatural? 

For Amane and Mitsuba, we know how they became spirits. They had lingering regrets, which is confirmed by Kou when he said he’d help Mitsuba with his unfinished business so that he could pass on. So what Kou was talking about in the most recent chapter is probably not that. 

Going back to Akane-kun and Hanako. How did Akane-kun become a supernatural? It was through a deal to save Aoi’s life, albeit he was tricked into it. 

Did something of that sort happen to Amane and Tsukasa perhaps? Did Amane make a wish, was tricked, and somehow as a consequence end up killing Tsukasa as some sort of exchange? Because for some reason, among a time lord, a spider that has a library full of knowledge, and the GOD OF DEATH, it’s Hanako-kun who’s the leader of the School Mysteries. Something big must have been exchanged for that. 

Perhaps Tsukasa heard a rumor that one way he and Amane could stay together forever was to become Supernaturals, with one being the other’s yorishiro and for this reason he wanted to kill Amane, except it happened the other way around. Admittedly, this is a bit farfetched. 

2. Who does Teru actually like?

This was established from the very first chapter, so i believe it’s an important plot point.

Sakura: My first guess, again despite having no basis at all, is Sakura. But Sakura already has Natsuhiko so hmmm....

Mei: Yes, this is a bit weird. The only thing I have to go on is that one picture of Teru with Mei and Shijima in Monster Nursery. Teru could have been a kid who had a crush on high school student Mei before she died. 

Aoi: Recent chapters would point to that. It seems so obvious as to be a red herring, but what if that is what makes it surprising enough to be true? I always thought Teru ‘liking’ Aoi was a way to troll Akane just as how Teru lords over Nene’s crush on him to Hanako (man in other circumstances, Akane-kun and Hanako-kun would get along soooo well), but he never said he liked Nene in a joking way, like he did with Aoi. 

If the Teru-Aoi-Akane triangle is suppose to parallel the Kou-Nene-Hanako triangle, then it checks out if both Teru and Akane have a crush on Aoi. I do see them as being kindred spirits. Both are set up on a pedestal despite no one actually knowing their true selves. Everyone thinks they’re so perfect and nice, but both have pretty twisted characters. I mean Akane is also a ‘nice guy’ but everyone knows about his yandere tendencies, and he’s pretty free about what he thinks. On top of that, there’s also the shady business going on in the Minamoto and Akane families. 

Akane: BUT THEN, what if Akane is the Nene in their triangle. Admittedly, a lot of Teru’s actions could be interpreted as him teasing the boy he likes who’s already in love with someone else. IT CHECKS OUT.

Akane and Aoi: Or you know he could have a crush on the both of them. This is just headcanon after all. 

3.What on earth is Natsuhiko’s deal?

I swear he’s like the wolf in sheep’s clothing. Always beware the fool. I have this weird headcanon that he belongs to a family that’s also spiritually inclined like the Minamotos and the Akanes. Who knows, what if both Sakura and Tsukasa are dead supernaturals and Natsuhiko is their link to the living world?

Someone pointed out how the room with the mirror and the toys could be Hanako’s boundary. Besides the fact that we didn’t see any water, I would say that that is one brilliant observation! I could easily believe that. With what we know now about Sumire and from what Tsukasa said about not seeing Hanako for ten to twenty years, Hanako probably left Tsukasa, his yorishiro, in his boundary and never went to see him. The implications are horrifying. As we saw with Sumire, she kept relieving her death. That’s bad enough with No. 6 letting her die. But based on what we know, unless something else gets revealed, Amane was the one to kill Tsukasa. And he left Tsukasa in the boundary for ten to twenty years to relieve that? If true, I really will have to reevaluate my whole opinion about Hanako. 

I think based on what we saw, if that really is their boundary, it may be a replica of the twin’s room, what with all those toys, and by the time we arrive at that point when we’ll see Hanako’s boundary, I think that’s where the key Nene picked up from Amane in the past will play a part. Is that the key to their house? The twin’s bedroom? Perhaps a secret tree house? There must have been a repercussion as well with Nene picking up that key from the past, because if it’s with her now, then it wasn’t with Amane in the past, and that may have changed something.

If that’s true, then it was Sakura and Natsuhiko who broke Tsukasa out. Again it gives credence to the Sakura-is-already-dead theory, because Tsukasa grants the wishes of the dead, so perhaps there was a wish that Sakura had to have granted no matter what, enough to bind herself to Tsukasa, like how Nene did with Hanako.

(A bit of a sideline, LISTEN I STILL HAVE HOPE FOR A HAPPY ENDING OK. Kamisama Hajimemashita also had time travel shenanigans. and it looked like the protagonist would die, but all of those time travel shenanigans were necessary for them to earn their happy ending. Time isn’t a straight line after all. It’s more like a loop or a circle. What will happen has already happened.) 

4. Why are Tsukasa and Sumire the only human yorishiros?

Although Tsukasa as a yorishiro is not yet confirmed, I still have to wonder why. All of the supernaturals had or have strong ties to a living human. No. 1 has Akane-kun, Yako had Misaki, Mitsuba has Kou, Shijima had Mei, and Tsuchigomori had Amane. We don’t know what No. 1 and Mitsuba’s yorishiro are, but for the other three, the yorishiros they have are in relation to their precious humans. 

I can’t imagine that Yako loved Misaki less than No. 6 or Hanako (presumably) loved Sumire, or Tsukasa, and yet Misaki isn’t Yako’s yorishiro nor is Mei, Shijima’s yorishiro, and I have to wonder why.

Is it because Misaki and Mei had already passed on peacefully, while in contrast Tsukasa and Sumire wanted to stay by Hanako and No. 6′s side, which translated to them being bound as yorishiro? 

It’s stated in the story that yorishiro are the things most precious to a Mystery, but it also makes me think that yorishiros are the things or people that the Mysteries have the most regret about. 

5. Why is Akane-kun affected by supernatural events?

Akane-kun has stronger ties to Supernaturals, being a Supernatural himself, unlike Nene who’s just an assistant to one. 

So why did he forget about Aoi when Yako kidnapped her the first time around, yet Kou and Nene were unaffected, and why did the confession tree have an effect on him?

Maybe, because except for the deal with No. 1, for all intents and purposes he’s just a normal human being? 

But this time around, he doesn’t forget about Aoi. Maybe because he was too involved this time so his memories couldn’t be so easily erased.

But admittedly, it may just have been a story telling choice so the readers wouldn’t know Akane had anything to do with supernaturals.

6. Why was Nene chosen as the kannagi?

This was a question I had all throughout the arc, and it still wasn’t answered. Normally you’d think that Nene became the kannagi the moment she made a wish to Hanako but Hanako later says that he had nothing to do with her short fate. So if Nene had never met Hanako in the first place, would she have been doomed to die for completely mundane reasons?

BUT THEN when she read her book at the Bookstacks, if I’m not remembering incorrectly, her first disastrous date was in college, but Mirai says in the Clock Keepers arc that she had less than a year to live, which means she’s supposed to die in high school. Why this discrepancy? Could Hanako have been lying? Did her lifespan shorten after making a wish to Hanako thereafter becoming the kannagi i.e. Hanako’s assistant? But again only those who were already near to death could have made a wish to Hanako so maybe since they were already doomed to die anyway, making a wish to Hanako and becoming his assistant was just the prerequisite to being the kannagi. Except in this case, Hanako wanted to change her fate. Perhaps opening a person’s book changes their fate. Nene’s book was read, Amane’s book was read by Tsuchigomori, but again no in-story event would support this. 

Sumire identifies Nene as the kannagi, but No. 6 passes her by and identified Aoi as the kannagi, so again why this discrepancy? Perhaps someone in the past put a stop to the practice of sacrificing Akane girls (the Minamoto family perhaps?), but an Akane girl would always go to Kamome as a sort of back-up just in case.

Hanako was clearly lying when he said no human sacrifices happened during his time. What if there was a Hanako-san before our Hanako-kun? What if either Amane or Tsukasa made a wish to that Hanako-san, and as a result one of them became the kannagi or human sacrifice?  

7. Why is No. 1 so important? 

Kako is just sus af. Out of all the supernaturals, No. 1 always seemed the most powerful to me, which makes me wonder why Hanako is the leader of the Seven Mysteries. I mean when he called a meeting, only Tsuchigomori and Yako came, but when Kako presided over the meeting, all the supernaturals were there, except No.6. It was like Kako was the judge while Hanako was the defendant. 

Time is an amazing power, even if it’s only in the school. Theoretically, if only within the school, doesn’t Kako have the power to reverse time going back to when Amane’s time when he was still a student there? Or does Kako have the power to transport people to the past while in the school?

Similarly, is stopping time for fifteen minutes the extent of Akane-kun’s powers as the Clock Keeper of the present, or is there something more to it? Why is it necessary for a living human to be the Clock Keeper of the present anyway? Akane-kun once said he was forced to clean the clock where they kept Mirai imprisoned so Akane must know the location of No. 1′s boundary and yorishiro.

Teru said it was important for them to get to the Clock Keepers. Would something happen if all of the Clock Keepers combined their powers (like some super sentai)?

And let us not forget, Shijima’s hint about Nene’s lifespan lies with No. 1, specifically with Akane. (Speaking of Shijima, what on earth was the price Tsukasa exacted for her wish?)

Who knows? Perhaps the key to solving Nene’s lifespan problem without sacrificing Aoi lies with No.1 and No. 6 as the mysteries who have dominion over time, life and death. 

Seven questions for seven mysteries.

"Shut up, I'm not a puppet."

"You're my puppet. Mine only."

(Part 2 of "You're under my spell and I'm never letting you go.")

(I'm naming this series "The Knife")

Previously, we found out that Aoi was the student who had found out about Nene's lifespan and was the one who handed Nene a knife to exorcise Hanako. (I'd say kill, but I remembered he's dead-)

We also found out that she was the one who Kou aimed the knife at. (Nice aim Kou)

But then again, are there more killers working behind the scenes, covering up Aoi's death and/or framing a student for it?

Chapter 2: Investigation

"I think Daikon-Senpai knows that we, or should I say, Lame Ass Traffic Earring, killed Aoi-San" Mitsuba cited, emphasizing Lame Ass Traffic Earring.

"H-Hey! I didn't know that until the hood fell off when she fell!" Kou testified.

Hanako sighed, "Well, we have to find out why she did this. Our first suspect, however, is Yashiro."

A few minutes later, our beloved group sat in a circle, (or square- since- you get my point-) eating donuts and drinking smoothies.

"So Yashiro..." Hanako started, "What were you doing when Aoi-San bumped into you?"

"I was about to go to the garden to check the plants, when she bumped into me" Yashiro answered.

Kou raised an eyebrow. "If you were heading to the garden, why did you have cooking books and materials?" he added to Hanako's question.

Yashiro's face turned beet red.

"W-Well..." she started, which lead to a gulp.

She covered her face with her hands and said, "I was about to make a gift for Hanako-Kun..."

Now it was Hanako-Kun's turn to be beet red.

"WH-WHAAAAA?!" he said bolting upright, nearly dropping his donut, "SERIOUSLY?!"

His smile was so wide, Yashiro also couldn't help but smile aswell.

"Anyway, back to the interview!" Kou interrupted. (WHY RUIN THE MOMENT 👀👀👀)

"What was Aoi-San wearing the time you bumped into her?" Mitsuba asked.

"She was wearing a hoodie over her uniform" Yashiro answered.

After a few more hours of interrogating Yashiro, the group decided to clean up and end the interrogation for the day.

Hanako and Yashiro left the rooftop, while Mitsuba and Kou were left.

"Do you have any lead?" Mitsuba asked after a couple minutes of silence.

Looking at the papers he did, Kou sighed, "Sadly, I don't."

Mitsuba leaned closer to Kou to see the papers closely.

(i had to do this XD- it's hard to explain XD)

"It's a huge piece of sticky note, and yet you only manage to write that?" Mitsuba scoffed.

"H-Hey!" Kou protested, "Atleast the paper isn't a waste!"

Mitsuba rolled his eyes and clapbacked, "We could've used it for the next interview."

Kou and Mitsuba then chased each other.

Meanwhile, Hanako and Nene ended up in a cuddling session, talking about their day other than what happened. (BHhavHYagzh im turning soft-)

"Hanako-Kun, did you really know about Aoi being the student who knew about my lifespan?" she asked after minutes of Hanako playing with her hair. (THIS IS TOO WHOLESOME AAAAAAA-)

"I didn't know until the hood fell off. Her disguise was really well done, so maybe that's why you didn't recognize her" Hanako answered.

Nene thought about it for a while, which led to silence.

It was a few hours of silence, until Hanako kissed Nene. (this is de crap we need UWU)

"Wh- HANAKO-KUNNNN!" Nene exclaimed, turning into a puddle of daikon tomato soup.

Hanako chuckled, "Sorry, I had the urge to."

Kou came rushing in with Mitsuba.

"OI HANAKO WHAT DID YOU DO TO SENPAI?!" Kou shouted.

Hanako shot his grin and said, "Nothing."

Chapter 3: Trial (Part 1)

"AMANEEEE!"

"M'lady, you'll help us ri- OW!"

"Shut up."

"*yawns* I just wanted to sleep"

"What are we here for?"

"AOI-CHANNNN!! NOOOOO!!!!"

"Spider-Face, what's this about?"

Hanako's voice boomed, "I've called all of you today for a trial."

People started to protest.

"WHY DO WE NEED A TRIAL?!"

"AOI-CHANNNNNN- Ow-"

Hanako sighed, "To see if Aoi-San is working with someone else."

"I feel like you only feel bitter that Aoi-San tried to exorcise you" Teru pointed out.

"I-" Hanako started, but shook his head after.

"We'll begin with the alibis" he said.
