The room is covered in blood, and Seiren's body has spikes inserted into her arms and legs. Yako lets out a horrified gasp and covers her mouth. Mio makes sounds at the back of her throat and falls to her knees, hands still over her mouth. "Mio-san!" Yako cries out.

I move from my seat, kneel next to Mio, and place a hand on her shoulder while I rub her back with the other.

"I guess they're trying to seal the witch. Since long ago, this stone room was rumoured to have the power to seal magic." Kamata comments.

"To seal magic..." Yako repeated before gazing at Neuro. Neuro senses her gaze and looks back out the corner of his eye. Yako lets out a soft gasp before looking back at Kamata. "Professor Kamata, I want to know more about that Japanese architect who came here 20 years ago."

He shrugs his shoulders. "I'm sorry, but that was all I know about this. If you want to know more about it, you can go find the village head of Sharato village."

"Sharato village..." Yako trails off.

We leave his house. Godai and Mio are the first to get into the car. I'm walking next to Neuro while Yako walks behind us with her head lowered and eyes on the ground.

"What are you thinking in that below-frog-levelled brain of yours?" Neuro queries.

Yako stops walking, causing Neuro and me to stop. "I think that the Japanese architect that came here 20 years ago was our Otou-san. Our Okaa-san came here in search of the mystery of the death of our Otou-san. And she got involved in an incident while trying to get the photos of the witch."

"And then?" Neuro queries.

"I'm going to Sharato village. I think that there might be some clues which will link everything together." Yako says, confidence shining in her eyes.

"If you want to, go by yourself." Neuro orders.

"Eh?" Yako exclaims surprised.

"I'm going to take a look at that coffee shop where your mother committed murder." Neuro states before walking forward, taking me with him.

"She didn't do it!" Yako denies. "Hey, Neuro...Is it true that the remains have the powers to seal magic?"

"Who knows..." I see a smile on Yako's face before Neuro appears in front of her and pushes her face onto the ground with a thud. "I think I should tell you this beforehand. I'm afraid that these remains aren't built just to seal magic." Neuro leans close to her face. "Those humans from Ancient times might have built it to connect this world and that world together."

"To connect this world and that world together..." I trail off.

Neuro and I walk to the car as Yako is still on the ground. Godai pokes his head out of his car door. "Hey, what are you doing? Let's hurry up and go back!"

"Hey, trainee...Sensei wants you to accompany her to the Sharato village." Neuro orders.

"Eh? Why should I..." Godai trails off in disbelief.
