A night passed.

Chisato slept poorly the entire night. After all, everything that had happened before was far beyond what she could accept. It would not be an exaggeration to say it had completely overturned her worldview, so she tossed and turned restlessly all night. At dawn, unable to resist her curiosity any longer, she got up and knocked on the door next door to find Duanmu Huai and ask about the situation.

"Any discoveries?"

"None so far. I'm not good at this sort of thing."

Next, he only needed to have the Servo-skulls scan the surrounding area. Based on those readings, he should be able to pinpoint the Witches' locations.

Leaning against the car window and gazing at the scenery outside, Duanmu Huai suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Chisato froze.

"Huh? Now that you mention it..."
