I didnt know wed delve into Tanigaki and Inkarmats situation so soon, but Im certainly not complaining!
Tsukishima tolerates it all, but remains all business.
He also wants to eat the placenta, which…gross.
Their reunion is soon stained with blood, as Tsukishima returns from his bath with his gun drawn.
Inkarmat uses her pregnant body to shield Tanigaki, having told him moments prior that shes ready for danger.
They both are; being together no matter what the consequences are.
Needless to say, horseback is no proper place for anine-months-pregnantwoman.
But when they rest in an abandoned house, Tsukishima is on top of them almost immediately.
Finally, he stands down.
Inkarmat replies to the anguish in his face with an outstretched hand, but then her contractions start.
From there, Osomas mom starts barking out orders for the men to make themselves useful.
The men also roll a mortar to aid the difficult birth.
Eventually, the cry of a newborn babe emanates from the hut.
Its a girl, and he couldnt be happier.
Koito resolves to believe in Tsurumi, and urges Tsukishima to believe in him in turn.
A week later, Tanigaki, Inkarmat, and their daughter depart thekotan.
We may not see them again, as their part in this story seems to be complete.
Inkarmat offers to tell Tsukishima what she saw in her clairvoyance, but he declines to hear it.
So he doesnt need to hear it.
