- You're coming on a mission with me. - Enma says.
- What? - Norman asks, he was sitting in the living room watching a movie with Amelia and Kiara by his side, Calli could be seen in the background in the kitchen making some tea, now looking back curiously.
- Hey, why don't I go too?! - Amelia asks, pointing to herself.
- Because this is part of his training, only he will go with me. - Enma says.
- Wait a minute... do you already know how to use kijutsu? - Amelia asks, looking at Norman who just laughs proudly, scratching his nose.
- What can I say, I'm a natural talent. - Norman says, with his Ki emanating from one of his hands.
- In fact, he's making common progress, there are talents who would have already developed their own technique or were born with it. - Enma comments, Amelia and Kiara seemed to hold back their laughter with their hands, while they stared at Norman, even Calli in the kitchen almost spilled her tea.
- D-DON'T TALK LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF MY MYTHS! - Norman shouts to Enma.
- Stop crying and let's go, we have a long way to go. - Enma says, grabbing Norman's arm and pulling him out of the house.
- Without Norman for a while?! NICE! - Gura shouts happily, watching from the stairs.
- GURA! - Amelia, Ina and Kiara scold her at the same time, Calli remained neutral.
...
- So, where are we going? - Norman asks, sitting casually on the subway seat.
- We're going to a small village in the west, in the mountains, there were reports that a sarugami was seen in the area, as well as people found dead and missing. - Says Enma.
- Wait, Sarugami? Are you talking about that giant monkey yokai? - Asks Norman.
- Yes, or did you think that only humanoid myths existed? Yokai, monsters and horrors also exist and we protect humanity against them. - Says Enma, Norman automatically remembers that Ina was a priestess who spoke to these cosmic horrors.
- Geez, that makes sense... so we're going to kill this thing?
- Not me, you are.
- Me? Alone?! - Says Norman, a little nervous, pointing to himself.
- Exactly, you'll do it, if things get bad I'll interfere, but it's better to do it alone because if you can't... - Enma then gives Norman a threatening look, making his entire body shiver.
- I'm going to make you suffer in your training.
- Y-YES MA'AM! POSITIVE MA'AM! - Norman shouts, standing like a soldier, saluting.
Arriving at the last station, they walked a little through the city streets until it started to get more and more rural, with the two Cover Corp employees finally arriving at a village called Akahana.
- The place looks pretty empty, don't you think? - Norman says, walking through the dirt streets, seeing houses being closed by their residents, as they walked.
- If your city was having a large number of disappearances, would you keep your house open?
- Well, that's a good point. - Norman says, shrugging his shoulders. The two walked a few more minutes until they arrived at a very large and different building in the place, apparently that was their target location, the city hall.
- Excuse me? - Norman says, already entering the place, however it seemed that an argument was already taking place. When he opened the door to the mayor's office, he saw a woman who seemed to be quite desperate, talking to the old man sitting in the chair.
