Chapter 84

## Chapter Guide

**"Violation of the Rules"** (ルール違 (い) 反 (はん) , *Rūru ihan*?) is the eighty-fourth chapter of the Shadows House manga series.

## Summary

Mirabelle and Isabelle demand that Kate decide which Shadow the remaining Belle belongs to. Kate instead, orders that they take care of their Doll and that they should use Belle at the same time. Gathering her team members into the parlour, Mirabelle and Isabelle are teased by their former team members and Douglas' team. Kate defends them, claiming they now share the same face but is challenged by Douglas who brings in Barbara. The twins use their soot power to force Douglas' team to humiliate themselves and Barbara confirms that the twins are not to be disposed. As Kate's team goes to have tea, the repairs of the Passageway of Glory have finished.

## Plot

Mirabelle and Isabelle demand that Kate decide which Shadow the remaining Belle belongs to as Douglas and Doug listen in around the corner. The twins admit they couldn't tell the difference between their Dolls and Kate tells them they simply have to deal with how things are now, demanding them to take better care of their remaining Face. She then asks them to come with her to a parlour for some jam tarts.

Kate enters the parlour with Mirabelle and Isabelle following, now sharing the same Face as their former team members laugh at them to their irritation. Sarah is surprised by this while Louise finds it interesting and Douglas' team makes fun of the twins who blame Kate for bringing them out. Kate defends the Belles, claiming that since the twins are highly synchronised, they can use the same Face but Douglas enters, claiming that it is a violation of the rules, followed by Barbara. Douglas points out that it is strange for Shadows to share a Doll and Kate is unfit to be a team leader as Doug brushes his hair but he is shocked to see himself only messing it up. The Dolls of Doug's team suddenly start to dance on a table, visibly troubled, as Kate notices the Belle twins manipulating them with their soot power from a blind spot. Douglas frantically tries to bring the attention back to Kate but Barbara replies that the twins have already served their punishment and their future is for the adults to decide, leaving with a stern warning. The groups disperse as Kate's team goes to a parlour for some tea.

As the sun sets, Edward notes that the repairs to the Passageway of Glory has been completed.
