In order to obtain cooperation from Retsu Kudou to capture Gongjin Zhou, Tatsuya, Miyuki and Minami visit Nara, the home of the Kudou Family. Retsu Kudou readily accepts Tatsuya's offer and introduces him to his grandson, Minoru. Minoru is one year Tatsuya's junior, and although he is physically weak, he is said to be a very powerful magician. At the dinner table, Minoru hears that Tatsuya and his friends are looking for a traditional magic user and offers his help. The next day, as Tatsuya and the others are scouting the Traditionalists' base in Nara under Minoru's guidance, they are attacked by the Traditionalists at Nara Park.
Asking to meet you by the river
was a mistake, I see.
كان من الخطأ أن أطلب منك
اللّقاء عند النّهر حسبما أرى
Es war wohl unklug,
Sie an einem Flussufer zu treffen.
Ya veo que cometí un error
al pedirle vernos en el río.

Je n’aurais pas dû proposer
près de la rivière !
È stato un errore scegliere
la riva di un fiume.
Foi um erro especificar
o encontro num rio.
Похоже, я ошибся,
когда предложил встречу у воды.
