REPORT

After countless personnel disappeared due to investigating, Ma Yuri (Grade 1) and Kamo Noritoshi (Grade 2) have been sent to investigate a corporate building in Yokohama on June 3rd. It was noted that there was an unnatural accumulation of cursed energy.

The main goal of this investigation was to find the root cause of the unnatural accumulation of cursed energy.

"This is the place right?" Looking at the address written on a note (not larger than A5) before placing it back in his coat's sleeve, where one of his emergency blood packets were. The building's face was like printer paper. Nothing. Both of them were in more business casual clothes (even though it was only Kamo who didn't wear his kariginu style uniform) but the difference was as clear as the sky that day.

"Yeah it is," finding textures near the doorframe; she managed to trace a 32. "Do you want me to ring the bell?" Waiting for his affirmation. He nodded. About a hand below the number, she triggered the bell with the edge of her palm; startled by the continuous ringing of the doorbell, she nearly fell backwards if it weren't for Kamo being behind her.

After what seemed like a solid 50 seconds of waiting, shoes hurriedly clacked to the plain door and swung open. Revealing a plainly dressed woman in a mossy green cardigan and permed straight black hair, other details were unnecessary honestly.

"Is this 32 XXXX? We've been asked by the JIB to inspect the building if you don't mind," showing the woman her card.

The woman in question was more than ecstatic to let them do so; "I'll go prepare you some tea alright dear?" Completely ignoring Kamo who only arched an eyebrow to Yuri. "Please enter! I don't bite." Thus both jujutsu sorcerers entered the building.

Upon entrance, they were met with different decoration styles and items; the hallway being a direct descendant of the building face sadly enough but the room the woman gestured to enter and wait in was a minty green room with bamboo furniture. Both noticed how there were average human levels of cursed energy emitted in the room. Nothing suspicious. Yet there was an odour that couldn't be described. Mouldy? The place was utterly spotless. Decrepit? The previous point. It was unusual for a graphic design company to be like this.

"Alright, dear," entering the room they were in once more and placing a tray with two teacups and a still fuming teapot, she began to pour green tea into their cups. "Drink the tea when you're ready, dear."

"Allow us to introduce ourselves first," Kamo began. "My name is Tanaka Ryunosuke and," gesturing to Yuri who seemed bright, she introduced herself as 'Sato Maya' the name given in her JID identification card. "Would you care to give a run-"

"Sato-san, you may call me Rin," the woman responded before eyes widened in delight. "I love your blouse! It adds to your youthful charm Sato-san, how long have you been with the JIB?" Causing her to shift her hands to her knees.

"It's been about 10 years, Rin-san," and they both began to take their cups of green tea. "Really? Is Tanaka-san your junior?" She only nodded as Tanaka Ryunosuke began to try appreciating the green tea given (due to being a former green tea critic). Typical warmth and scents of green tea didn't match his known green tea palate. Maybe Kombucha? But it was pale green and rather citrus-like. Turning towards his senior in warning only to notice her already drinking the mysterious non-green tea liquid like a shot.
