Did the cafe close?

The cafe was doing no business because the human villagers were leery of the oni. So Ao pretended to be destructive just so Akane would stop her, thus earning the villagers' trust and so ensuring the cafe's success. She then quietly returned to her home in the mountains. However, Ao realized that if she continued to associate with Akane and Shiro, the bad rep she'd purposely given herself would rub off on them, and she didn't want to see them suffer. So, she's gone away, leaving Shiro in Akane's care.

Ah, so she took the Red Oni role after all. Many thanks for the explanation.

Should I create tags based on Onigashima_Akane and Shiro? Shiro also needs a surname.

Looks like they really have switched places in this story.

Per post #3411370, it's Onizuka

No switching about. Red Oni was the friendly one who cried in the end, while Blue is the one who deliberately ostracized himself to help Red. And left later because he's worried that others might think Red is a "bad oni" too if he sticks around with Red.

That said Shiro here has taken over some part of the role of the original Red Oni — White is the one who wants to be friends with humans this time, and Blue did everything for White's sake instead of Red's.

I'll tag them both when I get home.

Edit - tags created for the waifu red oni and the adorable white oni.

Cool, but the red oni is called Akane and not Aoki.

Well, took a while until I finally stocked up on translatium, but now the sad tale is translated.

Thank you based Paracite.

Indeed thank you.

Since 101 I refrained from opening this series, although Yuureidoushi is one of my most beloved authors; but now I can go back and save each one translated.

The translations you made make all the difference.
