" the serial killer is Yu Narukami "

These whispered words are what Yui said to Setsuna , and as she pulled back , she could see the absolute shock in her eyes . Setsuna closed her eyes to try and remember who Yu Narukami was , he was stern and almost cynical to those who opposed him , but outside that he was very calm , soft-spoken , gentle and caring . Then behind that calm smile of his , memories of news reports about the murders appeared in Setsuna's mind , the journalist describing in detail how the body was hanging from the top of a telephone pole upside down , then Yui's absolutely terrified face after she had witnessed the crime . The memories clashed with each other , leaving very little logic behind them .

" Yui ... " Setsuna opened her eyes and looked at Yui , looking very strained and confused " how exactly did you learn that ... ? What makes you believe that—"

" shh !!! " Yui quickly muffled her mouth , then she spoke in a more audible voice this time , but also while putting unusual emphasis on certain words " see ... the ... uh ... ' Phantom Killer's ' identity ... was ... revealed to the ... um ... ' detective ' after she walked into the ... The ' Negative Zone ' ! "

" huh ... what ... ? "

" the Phantom Killer cornered her on the way out , but she managed to escape . She was going to report his identity to the police , but he threatened her that he would kill her little daughter ... "

" oh ... ooh ! I see ! " Setsuna clapped her hand in awe , having realized what Yui was trying to tell her " but the Phantom Killer told her what his motive for killing was ? "

" he ... he didn't give a satisfying response , he said he was conducting an experiment on humans "

" an experiment ... " Setsuna remembered hearing Yui saying that and being very furious in that world , and as she recalled what the mysterious creature had told her , she realized what the experiment was . She looked into Yui's eyes and said firmly " tell me , Yui , what happened next to the detective , did she decide to team up with someone to take down the Phantom Killer ? Because I don't think she can face him on her own ! "

" you're surprisingly invested in that story ! " Yui couldn't help but laugh at Setsuna's intense eyes

" I have to admit it sounds like a cool concept , I would love to read such a story ! " Setsuna laughed along

" you're right , though . At first the detective wanted to face the killer on her own , but now she knows she's gonna need all the help she can get " Yui smiled to Setsuna gratefully , as the sound of the school bell reached them from the rooftops

The two girls wasted no time going back into the TV world to save Yuuta Takanashi , this time they went to Setsuna's house instead . The idea of them leaving the TV world only to find Yu in the living room was too scary for them to tempt fate , so as soon as school was over , they dashed out of the building and into the rain , shielding themselves with only their umbrellas. Eventually , they arrived at Setsuna's house , which wasn't far from Mr. Dojima's house , but then again the town itself was rather small . Setsuna opened the door and walked in , with Yui following behind her , but as soon as she entered the house porch , the jarring sound of a dog barking startled her , and the sudden appearance of a dog right in front of her had her panicking .
