29. Kuusou Forest III

Kuusou Forest III (空想フォレストIII Kūsō Foresuto III) is the twenty-ninth chapter of the Kagerou Daze manga.

Summary

 * The chief of the forest appears at Marry's house and notes that Seto managed to get to the 'monsters' house without even knowing where it is. Seto is confused, responding that there is no monster there. When the chief asks whether Marry is related to Azami, Seto gets angry, saying that the chief should not imply a cute girl such as Marry could be a monster. Quickly realizing what he said, he gets flustered and looks away. Not catching on with what he said, Marry asks him if he can understand what the hamster is saying. Confirming that he can, he mentions that the chief was saying strange things, such as that Marry was a monster related to Azami. Much to Seto's horror, Marry confirms that Azami is indeed her grandmother. For a moment, Seto stands frozen since he cannot believe a girl as cute as Marry could be a monster.


 * The chief breaks his train of thought, asking him what he was going to do. Since people who hold red eyes have been feared for centuries, they would surely appear again if Marry were to leave. Looking back at a concerned Marry, Seto becomes determined. He wraps Marry in his white hoodie and then smiles. The red color of his eyes reminds the chief of his first meeting with Azami. With a chuckle, the chief disappears into the forest. After they are gone, Marry prepares herself to go along with Seto.


 * Back at the Tateyama household, Kido, Ayano, and Kano are surprised to see Seto with Marry. As Seto tries to explain what happened, Ayano gleefully asks if she is here for the Mekakushi Dan. While Seto hastily confirms it, Kano tries to question it only to be pushed aside by Ayano who is curious to learn about the new member. With a smile, she welcomes her to the Mekakushi Dan.
