While Sosuke Araki was sealed on the toilet bowl with diarrhea, a handsome college student-looking man with glasses was staring at the laptop screen in front of him in a residential building in Roppongi.

"Following the complete demise of the [Human-faced Dog] a few days ago...... [Rift Girl] is weak in resentment, and [Gap Eye] is also weak in resentment, could it be that [Hell Gate] is sucking too hard? No, even the [Convenience Store Cursed Spirit] that I just created has died out......"

On the screen of the old laptop in front of him was an electronic map of Japan.

On top of the extremely rudimentary map, more than a dozen black swirls of various sizes are scattered all over Tokyo, like a pixel placement game.

"Government agencies? Or did those gods do it? If this continues, the final plan will be disrupted...... Although these original weirdnesses that have been recreated with great difficulty are powerful, the activity mode is too monotonous, and it is easy to expose the location of [Hell's Gate]...... But the weird has to rely on killing to get the grievance to supply, and it seems that it has to create some weirdness whose whereabouts are unpredictable......"

A large black vortex on the map with the words "Gates of Hell" written on it is located in the location of the Kuramae apartment.

Gritting his teeth and muttering to himself, the man switched to the page of a forum on a certain website, crackling on the keyboard.

The outside world is too dangerous, and he must keep a low profile until "that moment" comes.

Because he knows that in this world, in addition to the weirdness on the map in front of him, there are countless more mysterious and ancient existences.

……

At the same time, Ayano Mochizuki was drinking coffee at the "Witch Love Divination Cafe" in the Takashimaya Department Store in Shinjuku.

This café, which is very popular among female high school students and college students, and is famous for its love divination, is still in non-business hours at the moment, and its doors are closed.

Sitting across from her, a noble lady with Eurasian facial features and a thick powder on her face was the owner of the café, Natasha.

In the quiet hall, there were only the two of them.

"How's it going, Ayano-chan, this new coffee is delicious."

A woman named Natasha looked fondly at Ayano Mochizuki, who was drinking coffee.

"Let's get straight to the point, I didn't sleep all night."

Gulping down the coffee on the table, Aya Mochizuki took out a stack of materials from her file bag.

She came here with the feeling of sleep, naturally not to make a special trip to drink coffee to continue her life.

"If you don't get enough sleep, the wrinkles on your skin will increase quickly...... Well, what to ask today? ”

Natasha, who was originally going to popularize the way of maintenance, was stopped by Mochizuki Ayano's murderous eyes, and took out a delicate tarot card from her leather bag.

"'One card divination' is fine, people will make an appointment with a friend to do nail art, in a hurry. Anyway, divination is important to people, not tools. ”

Natasha said.

"The first question is, what secrets are hidden in this place?"

It's not the first time that Mochizuki Ayano has asked her for divination, so she skillfully took out a map of Tokyo and put it on the table, going straight to the point.

On that map of Tokyo, red dots are densely printed, and the closer you get to the Asakusa area, the denser the red dots become.

This is the place where she supervised the information class overnight last night, and through big data analysis, counted the suspected strange and resentful cases in the past five years.

And the place where her slender fingers pointed, surrounded by thousands of red dots, was blank, with only a few dozen red dots.

It is marked in small black letters with the words "Kuramae Apartment".

Natasha shuffled the stack of cards in her hand and handed it straight to Ayano Mochizuki.

Mochizuki Ayano meditated on the question in her heart, and without hesitation, she pulled out one and lay on the table.

Natasha closed her eyes tightly and reached the back of her hand.

In the field of vision of Mochizuki Ayano's left eye, the moment her hand touched the back of the card, countless "spirits" came from all directions, lingering beside Natasha, as if whispering in her ear.

Natasha opened her eyes, a faint blue glow surging in her eyes.

She quietly flipped over the cards.

Seeing that card, Mochizuki Ayano's pupils shrank slightly.

This is a positive tower.

On the delicate deck, the huge white tower that towered into the sky was being bombarded by huge lightning and burning with raging fire.

"[Tower]? That's a terrible card. Natasha pondered for a moment, reversed the direction of the card, changed from positive to inverted, and continued: "You know, my tarot divination needs to understand the tablet in reverse, but only this card ......"

As we all know in the industry, Natasha's tarot card divination has an accuracy rate of up to 99%.

But before awakening her talent, Natasha, a spiritual power, also experienced a 30-year life of "nothing is accurate".

Until one day, she tried to decipher the tablet she had come up with, and reversed it.

The same hand, heads and tails often have completely opposite meanings.

However, of the 22 major Arcana main cards in the tarot, Tower is arguably the worst.

Whether it's positive or negative, it doesn't mean anything good.

Holding her breath and sensing the cards, fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on Natasha's forehead.

Her voice trembled a little and said, "From this reversed [tower], I feel the destruction, the irresistible destruction...... Ayano-chan, listen to her sister's advice, stay away from this place. ”

Hearing what the other party said, Mochizuki Ayano frowned slightly and nodded.

Then, she pulled out a resume from the profile and put it on the table.

On the photo in the upper right corner of the resume, it is the fierce and somewhat sluggish expression of Sosuke Araki.

This photo was obviously taken with a popular "head sticker machine" among female high school students, and the moment the photo was taken, Sosuke Araki's eyes wandered, and "Where is the camera" written all over his face.

"This young man, nice eyes. Does Ayano-chan want to divinate love luck, which is what I do best...... Yes, Ayano-chan will soon turn 16 years old, and it's time to work so hard, it's time to ......"

"This man...... And this place, what does it have to do with it. ”

Mochizuki Ayano interrupted the other party's words with a slightly red face and a fierce expression.

The mysterious demise of the human-faced dog, the accidental death of two of his men, the impossibly clean Kuramae apartment, and the Rift Girl who "just happened" to appear nearby...... Plus Sousuke Araki, who recently "just happened" to move into that apartment.

All this, as if she saw some invisible giant hand, stirring a huge whirlpool in the water, slowly swallowing everything on the surface of the water......

While thinking about this, Mochizuki Ayano drew a card from the opponent's hand again.

Natasha gathered the "spirits" around her again and began to close her eyes.

Then, the card that was lying on the table was turned over.

On the card, the bold lines are drawn with a simple stroke, and a sun with a strange expression is exuding warm sunlight.

Natasha turned her cards lightly and said with a chuckle: "Ah, the [Sun] in the right position, Ayano-chan really wants to ask about marriage, right......?"

The positive sun, in love divination, is a card representing the royal road.
