			Everyone welcomed us, haphazardly patting my back and head. Although it hurt a little, I felt a bit happy.

			Even if I turned back to look at that room, I could see a wall had been stained with blood.

			“Let’s go. Urado has yet to be vanquished. I have only scared him a little.”

			With Lin-san’s urging, we ran to the corridor. We ran down the stairs, through the hall. We sprinted through the maze. Walking out of X floor, we stumbled outside. Ignoring the equipment placed around the hole, we hurriedly walked out of the house. When we burst through the nearest window, I found it strange as to why all that running did not cause cardioplegia.

			The night sky was clear and bright. Just like that, we fell sitting on the overgrown lawn, and finally let out a breath.

			“Really… don’t… go off on your own.”

			Bou-san said disjointedly.

			“Yeah… sorry.”

			“But, thanks to you, you could say we found them.”

			Ai?

			“It’s all in the second floor, everyone.”

			I sat up and looked at Bou-san. Bou-san pointed to the sky while lying down.

			“The missing people. … My throat hurts.”

			Although the way he expressed it was very strange, I could understand his meaning. As expected, that blood belonged to those people.

			“They were all piled in the room next to the bathroom. Just like objects.”

			… Too much.

			“The room in front of that was fitted with shelves on all walls, the shelves were piled with bone. It’s a good thing you didn’t see it. It was a number that is nauseating on sight.”

			“… Why did he do that with the bones…?”

			“Who knows? But those were bones that had already been cremated. Most likely they were collected after being burnt in the furnace. But they were carefully arranged. It’s almost like they were put on display.”

			… Was that done by Urado? What in the world was that man thinking to line the skeletons up? What reason was it for? It was completely beyond my imagination.

			“Mr Hiroyuki hid that place – because that wasn’t a quantity that a person could have gotten rid of. And to ask a single person to do it, it’d have been impossible for anyone.”

			The people who were killed. Numerous… sacrificial victims.

			“Poor things…”

			“… Aah.”

			Just like that we sank into silence.

			After a while, suddenly somebody nudged my back.

			“Mai…”

			Masako spoke to me, then she sat beside me. Although she looked completely exhausted, a smile still hovered on her face.

			“Thank you.”

			Aiyah, you don’t have to thank me. I had just thought of replying with that, when Bou-san spoke severely.

			“Masako, you cannot thank her. If you do you’ll spoil her, and make her more impetuous.”

			“What~”

			“That’s the truth. Despite telling you not to go off on your own, you ran off at the drop of a hat. We would have found Masako eventually, you fellow. You did not learn that lesson at all.”

			Wu… The way you put it sound extremely reasonable.

			“That too.”

			Hey hey, even Masako is agreeing.

			“Then, the thanks just now should be considered last night’s portion.”

			“Last night’s portion?”

			What was that?

			Masako laughed.

			“Didn’t you come then?”

			… Hey, but that was in my dreams.

			Masako smiled graciously and opened her right fist. On her palm was a key.

			“Ai~~!!”

			I hurriedly searched my pocket. After identifying my keyring, I realized that the key that was my protective charm was indeed missing.

			“… Liar.”

			Bou-san moved closer.

			“What’s up?”

			After Masako related the incident, everyone stared, wide-eyed.

			“This fellow really surprises people… Young lady, aren’t you rather outstanding.”

			… Ha~

			“You see the past and the future; this time, was it an out of body experience?”

			“Out of body experience?!”

			Me… me?

			“I can only think so. No, your skills are only increasing.”

			… It’s not a skill, right? It shouldn’t be.

			Bou-san teased me non-stop. Despite being praised like that I couldn’t even be pleased.

			Naru spoke with a harsh voice while he stood up.

			“In Mai’s situation, if she can do half of that as she wished she’d be more useful than a cat.”

			With the word ‘cat’, Masako laughed out loud.

			You fellow~~

			If I ignored her she would continue laughing like that.

			“Masako, I say that is…”

			“Sor, sorry, for laughing at you.”

			Any~way I’m only at the level of cats and dogs. Hn.

			… But, an out of body experience – that’s having only the spirit leave the body and come out.

			Perhaps I really am incredible?

			We hurried back to our own rooms, and started packing.

			I stuffed my clothes into my trunk, while I inclined my head.

			“… Is this OK, to really go back?”

			“Even Naru said it’s OK, so isn’t that fine?”

			It looked like Ayako did not hear what I was troubled over.

			“But, what of Urado’s spirit? We say they should start demolition, but what if someone goes missing during the course of the demolition?”

			“Yeah~ you have a point.”

			Ayako carefully folded her clothes.

			“But, while it is arguably very dangerous to dismantle the house bit by bit, if that’s so… then wouldn’t it not be a problem if it were knocked down all at once with an iron ball or something similar? However one puts it, it still dismantles the house into many small portions.”

			“This is… you have a point.”

			Ayako started combing her hair.

			“Aah, how uncomfortable. I didn’t take a bath last night, and I’m all dusty from today.”

			She’s really relaxed, this fellow.

			“I want to take a bath, Mai, help me delay the time a little.”

			“I say…”

			This way I’ll get scolded severely by Naru.

			“To you, avoiding Naru is as easy as flipping your hand. Please.”

			With a gentle wave, Ayako walked into the bathroom.

			She really is too much, sigh…

			I silently packed my bags; following that I looked back towards Masako.

			“Masako, are you done?”

			Masako shot me a glance, then turned away immediately.

			“Masako?”

			“I don’t want to be addressed so intimately by one such as you.”

			… This fellow.

			“When you were speaking of me you added a ‘one such as’ in front.”

			Masako violently turned her head away from me, and did not give me a reply.

			“Why do you hate me to this extent?”

			Masako pretended not to have heard my words.

			“At least tell me the reason.”

			“… I?”

			“That’s right. It looks like you’ve grasped Naru’s weakness, right?”

			Masako appeared a little afraid.

			“What type of weakness is it~? Tell me… You won’t do this, will you?”

			“That’s a matter of course.”

			Saying this, Masako’s expression turned a little lonely. I inclined my head.

			“Because if I told you, I would really be hated.”

			“… Ha?”

			“Because… I know Naru’s weakness.”

			Ooh. So you’ve finally admitted it.

			“That’s why Naru hates me.”

			Wait a moment. Why did the conversation turn out this way?

			“Because Naru has a very strong sense of pride. He can’t tolerate someone else finding out his own weakness.”

			“… This fact, I’m well aware of.”

			“Hence I am hated by him. If I told others of his weakness, I’ll incur a greater amount of hatred from him.”

			I feel I can understand this reasoning.

			Indeed it is. Even if one was not hated by Naru, he isn’t a person that one can easily get close to.

			Masako stood up. She walked quickly to leave the room.

			“Masako.”

			If we acted unilaterally we would get scolded by Naru.

			Masako opened the door, and then turned to look at me.

			“Mai… as expected, I still hate you.”

			I sighed.

			“It’s like this. – You can’t leave the room. Didn’t he say that we cannot be alone?”

			“I only want to go out to take a breath of air. The air in this room has turned very bad due to someone’s stink.”

			“I understand, I understand. But, that still won’t do. It’s very dangerous.”

			“I feel like being alone.”

			Masako walked through the crack of the door.

			“Wait! Masako!”

			“I’m just in the corridor. So please don’t follow me here.”

			The door closed with a gentle sound. I shrugged my shoulders. Then I smiled.

			Yeah. I like Masako. Isn’t she just like a girl; so very cute?
