Hiyakawa can't understand what Mikado is feeling. And for his part, while Mikado recognizes how deviant Hiyakawa is, he just can't cut ties with him.
In the middle of all this, Mikado is as good as kidnapped by Sakaki and taken to Erika in a car. Erika asks a bewildered Mikado for help with her homework, as though the situation were quite normal. As Erika works on her homework, she tells Mikado about the mysterious man who employs her and about how her powers awakened.
I've placed light curses on 
all the people around me.
وضعتُ لعنات خفيفة على كلّ الناس حولي
Die Menschen um mich herum
tragen einen seichten Fluch.
Les he puesto una pequeña maldición
a todos a mi alrededor.
Les he puesto una pequeña maldición
a todos a mi alrededor.
J’ai lancé une petite malédiction
sur mon entourage.
Ho lanciato una lieve maledizione
 su coloro che mi circondavano.
Eu coloquei maldições leves
em todas as pessoas ao meu redor.
Я наложил лёгкие проклятия
на всех людей в моём окружении.
