For Great Justice VII

Shortly after the incident with the Utsuho Yukkuri, this strange event happened to me.
It's difficult to speak about it since I really don't know if I was totally awake or not.
I'm a man of method and science. I act only after I used all the information I found. But this event is so...
Excuse me. I'll be short.
Well, I said it. It happened shortly after the incident with the Utsuho. The nuclear explosion destroyed the bastard's house and I heard that he died during the event.
Well, it's his fault my life was threatened and I wasn't paid, so I didn't cry on his grave.
I don't know how, but there were strange rumors coming saying that I was a bad coach for yukkuris. I guess I can't blame them. This dangerous yukkuri came out from my class, and yet she blew up her owner's house, killing her master.
So, I didn't get any customers, making my situation more dangerous. Money became a problem, especially with the new basement I built.
So I went into the Forest to find yukkuris, to sell them.
I went at 10:00, saying good bye to my mukyukurri. After 1 hour of useless hunting, the only yukkuri I found was a yukkuri Shizuha.
Having no other choice, I ate it. And God knows I hate pumpkin pie.
After this short meal, I went deeper inside the Forest. And it's at this time that I discovered a strange mansion.
Gothic style. Creepy during the night, but fine during the day. So, as I went in I thought:
-Since there are so many ghosts in this, I'm sure I'll find some valuable yukkuri. Perhaps it will improve my reputation.”
There really were a lot of ghosts. When I went in, the temperature suddenly fell by 10°.
Trying to make the least noise possible, I went further inside this mansion. My goal was to explore the area, and to avoid the ghosts. They are not dangerous, but they are freaking cold.
But I found something I wish I never found.
Bones and blood.
There was a impressive amount of bones. A little less blood, maybe because something liked it.
I went near the piles, and I tried to estimate the number of corpses.
But I found... a skull. Not just a skull, but... 5-6 of them. I puked. Because those were not adult's skulls, but childrens' skulls!
Childrens were lured into this mansion, and killed.
After that, I decided to capture the yukkuri who had done that. I wouldn't be able to sell it to a customer, but the Factory would be interested in a killer yukkuri.
And then I heard a noise. I got up and tried to walk, but something was in my legs and I fell on the ground. Then I heard:
-Congratulations for coming here!”
And I saw... a very odd yukkuri.
-Who is this yukkuri?”
I asked.
It answered:
-This yukkuri is Nue. What is Mister doing here?”
-I'm searching for the yukkuri who kills humans.”
While saying that, I prepared myself to jump and to crush it. If it was able to kill so many children, I thought it would be stupid to underestimate it.
-Congratulations! That's the Shanghai yukkuri's doing!”
-What?”
A Shanghai? They are very dangerous, but also very rare. I guessed one of them would be enough to allow me to live for 3 months without work.
-Can Nue take me to Shanghai?”
-Nue's okay with that!”
I'll skip this part. This is not very interesting. You see, Yukkuris Nues are pranksters. I learned that while following this one. It make me walk, jump on the roof, crawl in the caves, and it was only when I said I'll die that it finally brough me to Shanghai.
The Shanghai was sleeping on some furniture. I climbed the furniture to get it while it was asleep, and to give it some sleeping medicine.
But Nue was scared because I was tired, so, when it saw me almost falling from the furniture, it screamed:
-Congratulations for not falling, Mister!”
And it woke up Shanghai immediately. It saw me, and said only one thing, that I didn't hear.
Why? Because Shanghai has a powerful beam. While it was awakening, I was already out of the room, with Nue in my bag.
-Couldn't you shut up? Now, this thing is after me!”
-...”
The wall behind me was destroyed by a powerful beam.
I ran, while asking Nue for directions. It guided me thought this freaking maze.
But when I arrived on the mansion part, another beam came, destroying the floor and the ceiling. Looking down, I saw the yukkuri.
-Hourai...”
Yes, that wasn't a Shanghai, but a terrible Hourai. No hope. Run. I passed the main door, and arrived in the Forest. And then, I heard a familiar voice.
-Mr. Nice Owner! Utsuho is here to help you, Unyuu!
I know it's unbelievable, but it was really the Utsuho I raised before giving it back to her moron owner. It was in the sky, and it went inside the mansion while I was running away.
The last view I'll remember from her was a face-to-face, between Utshuo, and Hourai. After that, I ran, without looking back.
I did good, because there was another nuclear explosion, and this one was far more powerful. It knocked me down.
When I awoke, a large part of the forest was covered by dust. The mansion's area was turned into a crater.
That's all for my story. I managed to get back with the Nue. I started breeding it, while learning her.. abilities. After that, I wrote a report for the Factory. About the Nue. About how you can be harmed by her wings. About how they fight, turning on themselves, like little razor whirlwind.
But I never sold a Nue to the Factory. The one I found inside the mansion saved my life, so I won't torture them. I only sell them to my best customer.
Even now, I'm still asking: why did Utsuho come to help?
Was she searching during all this time?
And finally, the question that keeps me awake during the night: did she survive the mansion's destruction? Or was she killed, and the explosion was self-destruction?
When I think about that, I want to go out and look for her in the Forest.
But it's impossible. The Factory forbade all access to the Forest for 3 months. “Decontamination Time” they said.
I'm sure it's a lie.
Utsuho.
Thanks.
