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 come in through your ears or eyes,
،تدخل عبر عينيك أو أذنيك
Er kommt über deine Ohren und Augen hinein
und aus deinem Mund wieder raus.
entran por ojos y oídos
y salen por la boca.
entran por ojos y oídos
y salen por la boca.
rentrent par les yeux et les oreilles
et ressortent par la bouche.
Entrano dalle orecchie e dagli occhi
 e poi escono dalla bocca.
Elas chegam pelos ouvidos ou pelos olhos...
они входят через глаза и уши,
а выходят через рот.
