"This well already existed beneath the floor.  Its a pretty old one."

"To me, it feels like this well goes deep into the earth like an abyss and whoever falls in cannot leave." Masako said, her words ringing signals on Mai—

"The spirit of the woman is trapped here as well as the children," Akemi spoke up, clutching her beady necklace that Mai gave back earlier. Turns out Akemi has a few more beady accessories when she wore two more wrapping beads on both her wrists. "-she is hiding deep inside the well— calling out for more spirits of children by pretending to be their mother, however, the children wishes to go back home but they are so lost that they cannot find their way out." Akemi is glad that little by little her withdrawals due to her medication intake is starting to decrease, she can now communicate without any problem or physical conditions presenting itself out of nowhere when she tries to use her abilities.

"The woman tries to lure new spirits by manipulating the spirits of the children already trapped, that is how she is able to get the children in this house." Akemi glanced at the people with her, not really seeing much of their expressions but sensing the lingering air in the room— she could read that it felt upsetting, knowing innocent children were pulled into this mess.

"Tachibana-san's spirit is in so much pain and agony... That she just wants to stop this and go home." Masako added, relaying the feeling of the spirits.

"Who is Tomiko?" Naru asked and it took a while for Akemi to answer as she tried to process the information.

"The woman's daughter." She answered. "-The woman is looking for her own daughter and gathers the spirits of children in the hopes of finding her."

"I see."

"Naru, where are you going?!"

"I'm leaving. I'm not sure when I'll be back. Please take care of things,"

"Wait, Naru—?!"

"Ah... He's being his usual self,"

"Bou-san, Naru wouldn't be the Boss if he were not to act like he usually would, it is rather cute~" Akemi smiled with a hand on her cheek a wry smile on her lips but entertained nonetheless, especially when Naru turned to send her a cold gaze before he left, probably hearing her last words.

Bou-san saw this exchange and sweat-dropped while the others gaped at Naru's antics but it was soon discarded the moment the doors of the living room closed with Naru gone. "By the way, whose turn is it to do the exorcism this time? I have to warn you, its going to be intense so be prepared."

Ayako presented herself when none of the people with exorcist experience spoke up. "No problem," The Miko turned to the priest and monk while Akemi left to try and help Ayako with her clothes as well as inform her guard about the events and to remind her of Oliver's feeding time. "- Bou-san and John could you please go and stay with Ayami-chan?"

"Sure."

"No problem."

'Darn it, Ayako what kind of a psychic are you anyway? Since when is a Miko too scared to pray by herself?' Mai internally pouted to herself, both her and Akemi sitting behind a few paces on their knees away from the Miko.

Truthfully, Ayako asked Akemi to be with her on this exorcism but when Mai remembered that her sempai was partially blind— she couldn't help but go along with them as she worried for her sempai despite being the one that's suppose to be defenseless.
