“What's wrong!?”
“Ruth!”
“Yes!”
Seeing Koutarou's reaction, Shizuka, Theia and Ruth also approached the bed and six people were now surrounding it. And upon seeing the face of the person sleeping in the bed, everyone was rendered speechless.
After the room remained silent for ten seconds, Koutarou and Sanae finally opened the mouths.
“S-Sanae, this is Sanae!!”
“It's me, I'm sleeping here!!”
Surprisingly enough, the one sleeping on the bed was none other than Sanae. The Sanae on the bed looked a couple of years older than the Sanae next to Koutarou and looked a bit mature. But her appearance was without a mistake the same as Sanae's. Everyone there was convinced that it was indeed her.
“That's right. It's Sanae. I was just as surprised when I saw her here for the first time”
Kiriha approached the rest. Since Kiriha and the two ghost hunters had known about this in advance, they remained calm.
“What is the meaning of this!? Why is Sanae sleeping here!? It's not just a look-a-like, right!?”
Koutarou had already checked the spiritual energy of the sleeping person and confirmed that it is indeed Sanae. Both the color and shape of her spiritual energy was identical to the Sanae next to him. The only difference was her age and the strength of her aura. Koutarou just couldn't believe it.
“Allow me to tell you everything. That is why I brought you all here”
Kiriha calmly responded to the excited Koutarou.
However, the reason why her expression had a hint of sadness was because of the cruel fate that awaited that only she knew of.
