Farewell!? Furuichi!! (さらば!? 古市!! , Saraba!? Furuichi!!) is chapter 221 of the Beelzebub manga.
Summary[]
At 6:47 in the morning, Lamia and Alaindelon watch over Furuichi's bandaged body as they continue to wait for the return of his "soul". As time passes by, both begin to break down and cry for him, assuming that he has already died.
Surprisingly, a miniature version of Furuichi appears near the bedroom door and hurries over to his life-sized body, asking whether his true self has died even though he is still technically alive. Shocked, Lamia and Alaindelon attempt to hug him while they ask how he could still be alive despite the circumstances provided earlier by Shinobu Takamiya.
The three are then joined by Oga and Baby Beel, plus Kankurō Akahoshi. Akahoshi quickly goes to check over Furuichi before summoning his Demon, Mammon, whom he asks about Furuichi's condition; Mammon, whose appearance is comically different from what Lamia and Alaindelon expected him to be, checks over Furuichi to see whether he is able to completely heal him.
Meanwhile, Oga explains that the pieces of Furuichi's "soul" were all collected and combined into three miniature versions of himself, each with a different personality aspect. Eventually, a fight broke out between the three and they all separated across the city with only one of them, "Strategist Furuichi", staying behind with Oga and Baby Beel.
Oga adds that Akahoshi and Mammon then decided to help them out. Following the brief introduction, Mammon ominously states that Furuichi is in a terrible condition and that something bad will occur to him if his "soul" isn't reunited by the end of the day.
Nene later returns to her luxurious home on another side of the city, trying to sneak in quietly so that she can avoid questions from her mother. She enters through the veranda but is noticed by her dog, Pain, whom she then feeds so that it won't awake her family. However, she soon realizes that the "Shameless Furuichi" is present and angrily asks him why he is with her, learning that he clung to her clothing earlier. Nene's Mother eventually sees Nene outside and ultimately tells her to get changed while she makes breakfast. Nene then rushes to her room while holding on to "Shameless Furuichi".
Elsewhere, Chiaki sits in her room while "Brainless Furuichi" stands before her, trying to explain about his circumstances awkwardly. Chiaki's brothers then enter her room and find the young man so they decide to play with him outside, though their antics nearly get him killed. Frightened, "Brainless Furuichi" attempts to leave and ultimately gets discovered by the duo who confronted Zenjūrō Saotome that previous night.
Akahoshi, Oga, and Baby Beel later look for the other miniature versions of Takayuki Furuichi in the street gutters.
