Chapter 16

## Chapter Guide

**Only You** (アンタだけなんだ, *Anta Dake Nanda*?) is the sixteenth chapter of *Ayashimon*.

## Summary

Urara telepathically relays her plan to defeat Kotton to Maruo, telling him that he needed to bait the ittan-momen into the park fountain where his soaked cloth body will cause him to slow down. After being angered by Maruo's insults, Kotton chases after him towards the fountain as per their plan. However, he slows down his momentum after noticing that he was about to crash into the fountain. To make sure that the plan succeeds, Maruo comes in from behind Kotton to destroy the fountain, causing the water to erupt on both of them.

## Plot Details

After defeating Wakku, Ten becomes nervous that the rest of the Todoroki Alliance will come after him due to trashing their bikes and decides to hide in the ceiling until the ritual duel is over. He also becomes impressed with the Todoroki Alliance for creating a barrier strong enough to hold the mess he made and hopes that both Maruo and Urara are okay.

After landing on solid ground, Maruo is told by Urara that she has figured out a way to have him beat Kotton. Kotton becomes impressed with Maruo's performance so far in their battle but, as he rockets down on him, declares his gang to be the ones to look after Urara. Maruo once again manages to land safely after Kotton destroys his footing and asks Urara as to what her strategy is. However, he receives no word from her due her being in pain from the sensation she felt from Maruo being hit on the head by debris, an effect that comes from her telepathy. Urara's pain is then noticed by Oboro who asked if she was feeling okay. Urara lies to him that she was merely feeling back pain and is doing fine.

Having been noticed, Urara relocates to avoid any more suspicion and reconnects with Maruo. Realizing that cloth ends up getting heavy when soaked in water, Urara tells Maruo that he needed to lure Kotton to Shinjuku Niagara Falls, a fountain in the park, to reduce his speed by submerging him in the water. Maruo understands what he has to do in order to win but questions Urara as to why she was taking a big risk in helping him win since the Todoroki Alliance will serve her either way. Urara answers that he was the only one she can rely on since he is not obsessed with Kio unlike the Todoroki Alliance and the others in Kabukicho.

After arriving back at the park, Maruo baits Kotton into coming after him through insults and heads to the fountain. As instructed by Urara, Maruo dodges Kotton's high-speed charge at the last minute to have him crash into the fountain, seeing as how he is unable to perfectly slow himself down. However, after anticipating that he was about to crash into the fountain, Kotton creates a parachute out of his cloth arms and manages to prevent himself from falling into their trap. Maruo then comes from Kotton to destroy the fountain with his fist, causing the plan to become a success as the water bursts and drenches both him and Kotton.
