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.
I'd be happy if we could talk 
again at leisure sometime.
سيُسعدني لو استطعنا الكلام
براحتنا مجدّداً في وقتٍ ما
Würde mich freuen, wenn wir bald
in Ruhe miteinander sprechen können.
Ojalá podamos volver a hablar pronto.
Ojalá podamos volver a hablar pronto.
J’espère qu’on pourra se reparler.
Mi farebbe piacere parlarvi
 con più calma prossimamente.
Quero poder conversar de novo outro dia.
Надеюсь, нам удастся
нормально поговорить.
