Chapter 128

The Battle Continues (1) (たたかいのつづき (1), Tatakainotsuduki (1) ) is the first part of the 128th chapter of the Fumetsu no Anata e manga.

Summary
Bon first noticed the fye of Mizuha's mother when his two ghost companions pointed out that she was following Mizuha around. While Bon had no idea who this person was, she approached Bon knowing the legends about him and his abilities. She introduces herself as Izumi, a descendant of Hayase of the Guardians. Bon tells this to Fushi, who is ecstatic because talking to her might prove that Mizuha is innocent, but Bon confirms that it was indeed Mizuha who killed her. She believes that the person pretending to be her right could be a knocker. Fushi protests, saying that The Observer told him he had defeated all his enemies. Bon suggests that they might have overlooked one.

However, more than anything Bon is worried about Mizuha having to live with an impostor, who could be a knocker on top of it all. He tells Fushi to bring Izumi back to life, but Fushi hesitates, remembering the promise he made to Mizuha. Bon reminds him of his conviction to always be in favor of living, and since Fushi can't say anything against that, he tries to revive Mizuha's mother. However, her fye doesn't automatically return into the vessel he created. Bon speculates it might be because her real body is still alive, but being controlled by an impostor. Izumi decides to use her current situation to do things she can only do as a ghost: find other fye whose bodies were stolen for example. Fushi's task now is to watch over Mizuha.
