??: I can hold you like this all day until I get an answer Makio. Who are these letters for?

Makio: (I refuse to call out Lord Tengen. And even if I wanted to, you have my mouth closed.)

She was completely restrained unable to speak or move freely. Suddenly the belt felt someone coming and raised Makio in the air tightening its hold on her, constricting and twist around her torso.

??: Make a sound, and I'll crush your organs as I snap you in half.

Makio: (Lord Tengen, please help me!)

Mizuki and Kendo inches from Makio's room spots the food that was still untouched.

Mizuki: Anything Kendo?

She whispers to her friend.

Kendo: Nothing yet. I'm not even touching the wall, and yet, I can feel a strong presence emitting inside of that room. There's something roaming around her room. It feels disgusting. Where's Ume?

Mizuki: She's dong other stuff around the place.

Not wasting time, they rush into Makio's room. But the demon was faster escaping with its hostage.

Mizuki and Kendo barged in seeing the room a complete mess.

Mizuki: (It escaped! The windows aren't even open. So then how could it unless...)

Kendo: (The ceiling!)

She grabs the ramen bowl and throws it at the ceiling.

Kendo: I KNOW YOU'RE UP THERE!!

The bowl makes impact with the ceiling, causing it to shake violently.

Mizuki: (We can't let it get away! It's the only clue on finding Mr. Uzui's wife!)

She tries to follow without causing destruction resulting her falling behind while Kendo literally breaks through wall as she follows it, meeting with a customer.

??: Well now, aren't you a beautiful lady.

Kendo ignored the client and walls runs over them and continued running, shocking the co-workers and Mizuki.

Mizuki: (Damn.)

She continues to run after Ume but not before apologizing to the workers. 

The chase continues to the lower floor moving past everyone until Kendo reaches the bottom of the house.

Kendo: (I lost it! Damnit! Everything was just getting in my way!)

She feels defeated in the cat and mouse chase.

Mizuki: Did you get it?

Kendo turns to see her friend.

Kendo: Where were you this whole time?!

She asked angrily.

Mizuki: I was covering for you in case you forgot we are in disguise and need to avoid looking out of the ordinary like Ume.

Kendo: Whatever. Do you have an idea of how we can track this demon? The destruction is throwing my senses off.

That's when Mizuki got an idea.

Mizuki: I have an idea.

Kendo: What is it?

Mizuki: Just follow me.


Elsewhere in the house the chaperone witness the hole and somewhat chaos throughout the house.

??: Maybe Kendo has been pushed too far. Maybe it's best to let them take a break.
