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.
You let him do all that to you,
 and he isn't even your boyfriend?
تدعه يقوم بكلّ ذلك لك
وليس حبيبك حتّى؟

obwohl er nicht dein Freund ist!
¿Lo dejas hacer todo eso
y no es tu novio?
¿Le dejas hacer todo eso
y no es tu novio?
T’as encore moins de raisons
de tolérer ça.
Aspetta, gli concedi tutte queste libertà
 e non sei nemmeno il suo ragazzo?!
Ele faz tudo isso com você, mas não é seu namorado?
Ты ему столько позволяешь,
а любимым не считаешь!
