## Chapter Guide

**He Did Not** (違います, *Chigaimasu*?) is the tenth chapter of *Ayashimon*.

## Summary

Urara recalls the time she spent hoping to see her father Kio, after accepting Hashihime's word in that he will eventually come for her, since the moment she was incarnated. In the present, Urara rushes over to Hashihime to rescue her from captivity. However, after Doppo prepares to take matters seriously by putting on his mask, Hashihime confronts the chairman by herself in order to have Urara successfully retreat with Maruo and Ten. Urara becomes hesitant to leave Hashihime behind but honors her former attendant's desperate request to save herself. Before being takem down by Doppo, Hashihime entrusts Maruo with the responsibility of protecting Urara from now on.

## Plot Details

Urara flashes back to the time she was incarnated and how she expected herself to meet her father Kio who was not present at the time. Being an important figure in the underworld, Hashihime clarifies to Urara that her father wanted to keep her identity a secret to protect her from others that could possibly take advantage of her but promises to her that he will eventually come to see her. With Hashihime being the only person allowed to meet her, along with people around her treating her like an outside, Urara starts to develop feelings of loneliness while spending her time studying the underworld as to not embarrass Kio for when the time came for them to meet. At some point, Urara smiles seeing a car pulling up, thinking that it is Kio, but loses it after seeing that it is Hashihime once again.

As she leaps off the roof to rescue Hashihime, Urara remembers how she started to hate everything after Kio's death and swore to herself that she would see everyone around her as disposable pawns as her revenge but wonders as to why she could not bring herself to part with those she has used. Inside the car Hashihime is captured in, the Ayashimon breaks free of her restraints, breaks the neck of her guard, and gets out to call out to Urara, who yells back to her.

Refusing to allow Urara to escape, Doppo showers her and Hashihime with his flames, which causes Hashihime to fall to the ground from the attack, much to Urara's shock. Believing that it is best for Kabukicho and Kio's sake that Urara should die, Doppo pulls out his mask to take matters seriously. Ten then warns Urara that they were in trouble after noticing this. Though he is warned by Ungaikyo that the Onmyo Bureau will soon make an appearance with what has happened, Doppo decides to ignore this fact since his executives would soon arrive to provide support and that he is determined to end Urara's life even if it means starting an all-out war. Remembering how Hashihime warned her that she can only maintain her powers for at least a minute, Urara becomes conflicted with her current situation.

After unleashing her yokai form, Hashihime attacks Doppo, kills Ungaikyo, and yells out to Urara to run while she has the chance. Doppo sets Hashihime ablaze with his fire and questions to her if she was on the right side, explaining that Kio had left her nothing after his passing and believes that he abandoned her. Hashihime denies Doppo's claim that Kio abandoned her, which reminded Urara of the many times Hashihime reassured her of this in the past, and pleads to Urara to flee while she holds him off, stating to her that as Kio's daughter she must hold her head up high. Urara then honors her former attendant's request by fleeing with Maruo and Ten on her back. As this happens, Hashihime looks towards Maruo, who is slightly conscious, and entrusts that he takes on the responsibility of looking after Urara. She is then pierced by large ice spikes created by Doppo, which results in money falling to the ground.
