Oni no Ou to Chigire - Chapter 7 Pg 139

Perhaps his body had been avoiding dark streets on its

own since Tokimori ended up in a shopping district. There was glowing

neon, and even though it was the middle of the night, it was noisy

with crowds of people coming and going. It wasn’t exactly a decent

place. It had the smell of alcohol and sex, a place with a

shadowy air full of the ulterior motives of humans, and the bonds of

money, it would have been easy to call it a land of temptation. Since

he had been running he had calmed down a bit, so he figured he would

kill time somewhere, but he couldn’t think of anywhere suitable. He

had impulsively ran off, so he was constrained by not having his

wallet or cell phone with him. He was thirsty, but in his state, he

couldn’t even buy anything to drink from a vending machine. In any

case, he didn’t feel like going back to his apartment, so for the time being, he headed to the shipping district’s closest train station.

He was walking silently through the crowd when he felt a gaze on him

from time to time.

It was Yato.

He thought he would continue

to hide in the shadows of the buildings, but when a drunk came

staggering toward him, Yato pushed him away before he bumped into

Tokimori. He ignored him.

When he smelled the scent of curry

wafting by from somewhere, he remembered he hadn’t eaten the entire

day. The stomach he forgot existed started to growl for food.
