"Ruri-no Tigiri" (Bonds of Lapis Lazuli) by KITAMORI Kou

This is the fourth and currently the latest book of the "Hatashi Toukodou" series by Mr. Kitamori. This book contains four short stories. The titles are:

* Narai-bina Shinjyuu [Separated Dolls for Double Suicide] 倣雛心中
* Nigai Kitsune [Bitter Fox] 苦い狐
* Ruri-no Tigiri [Bonds of Lapis Lazuli] 瑠璃の契り
* Kurokami-no Kupido [Cupid with Black Hair] 黒髪のクピド

The title of the last story contains the word クピド. This was finally found to be meant 'Cupid', but in normal Japanese we spell 'Cupid' as キューピッド. So at first I, and probably most Japanese, couldn't get the meaning.

Anyway again many troubles attacks on Touko... I wonder why only she has to suffer from these many troubles...
