Mikado and Hiyakawa go to investigate a pond at a house. Their client, the woman who owns the house, has the same dream every night of a corpse floating in the pond. Mikado dives down into the pond to have a look, and there at the bottom, in the murk, he sees its core.
On their way home that day, Mikado and Hiyakawa stop to eat and Hiura Erika appears before them. Erika reveals to the two of them that she is a curse peddler and a necromancer.
They've got it in their heads that if I lose 
my virginity, I'll lose my powers, right?
يظنّونني سأفقد قواي إذا
فقدت عذريّتي، أليس كذلك؟
Bist wohl der Überzeugung, dass ich durch
mein erstes Mal meine Kräfte verliere.
Crees que perderé mis poderes
si pierdo mi virginidad, ¿no?
Crees que perderé mis poderes
si pierdo mi virginidad, ¿no?
Tu crois que je perdrai mon pouvoir
si je perds ma virginité ?
È perché siete convinti che quando 
non sarò più vergine perderò i miei poteri, vero?
Eles meteram na cabeça que, se eu perder
a virgindade, vou perder meus poderes.
Боишься, что вместе с девственностью
я лишусь и силы?
