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.
But... there's someone 
even more afraid than me
لكن... يوجدٌ شخص خائف أكثر منّي
Aber es gibt da einen viel größeren Angsthasen,
der möchte, dass ich es tue.
Pero hay gente más miedosa
que quiere que lo haga.
Pero hay gente más miedosa
que quiere que lo haga.
Il y a des gens
encore plus froussards que moi
Però...
Mas tem uma pessoa que quer que eu faça isso.
Но есть ещё больший трус,
 который хочет меня к этому принудить.
