Hayato's friend from his college days and newspaper journalist, Yoshikiri Takuma, ends up trying to kill himself after reading a cursed tome disguised in the form of a mysterious letter planted in his bag from an unknown sender. He seems to have been targeted after getting too close to linking Karasu to the fake cursed tomes. With the help of Yoshikiri's information Fukurou learns of his suspicions regarding Karasu, but before they are able to make a move Tsugumi is taken.
Um, what about you? 
Are you still with Kagutsuchi?
