## Biography

> "*Ami Kijima's mother and the protagonist's aunt. She's the owner of the Black Rabbit Bar near Kissouji Station and is also a horror novelist. She doesn't write often, but her works are quite popular. She's rather lazy about running the bar and it's rarely frequented by customers. Known for her gentle demeanor, she always looks out for her nephew.*"

As young girls, Natsumi and her sister, Satomi, really enjoyed the children's stories created by Yakumo Miroku. His work particularly inspired Natsumi to become a horror novelist.

When their parents died, Natsumi was sent to live with relatives. Her sister, however, was determined to live on her own. Ten years later, Natsumi finally heard from Satomi, who asked her to take care of her son, Akira. After her sister died in 1997, Natsumi adopted her nephew, legally making her his mother.

At some point, her husband died, leaving her as the sole parent of their daughter, Ami, and as the new owner of the Black Rabbit Bar.

When Kakuya abducted Ami, Natsumi spent several days working with the police in an effort to find her. The longer the search was, the more visibly wore out she became, and she even turned to drinking to cope.

Eventually, Akira told her the truth. With this new lead, she looked through one of Yakumo Miroku's novels and learned that Ami was trapped in the realm of the dead, Kakuriyo, and the only way to get her out was through the mirror in Akira's bathroom.

She noticed a black postcard outside the Black Rabbit Bar, but paid it no mind as she hurried to Akira's apartment. Unbeknownst to her, Kakuya cursed Natsumi to stop her from ruining her plans, so by the time she made it to the apartment, she collapsed, her body covered in mouths. She was discovered by Akira just in time, and she was taken to the hospital via an ambulance. Although she was in stable condition, she was also in a coma.

After Kakuya was sealed, Natsumi regained consciousness immediately. She took a few days off before going back to work at the bar. Later, she told Akira she started writing another horror novel. When Akira asked if she knew anything about Miroku and his mother, Natsumi didn't know anything else. This concludes that Satomi didn't share details of her lover and Akira's father, Yakumo Miroku. Not even Yakumo Miroku knew that he had a successor the entire time. Later, Natsumi noticed the Miroku family's "dark secret" after their relationship deepened.
