After meeting up with Maki, we took the train to Yuuzen's hometown to take down Hone Ningyou.
Yuuzen's hometown is an abandoned village in the mountains. It is one of the most dangerous areas in Nishiki, and no one can get near the village without crossing the railway via the train.
Miyako	"Is this Yuuzen-san's hometown...?"
Mary	"An abandoned village that was once attacked by Hone Ningyou. A destroyed village. Only young Yuuzen survived, all other villagers lost their lives."
Yoshino	"Heard that even the Nishiki Army can't touch it."
Yakutsk	"I heard that the young soldiers know very little about Hone Ningyou. They know that there is an abandoned village here, but they don't know what kind of incidents took place there."
Mary	"The case has not been made public, and people don't know that the Yuuzen family is still alive. Doll master Yuuzen has been active for a long time."
Miyako	"This was Yuuzen-san's family's hiding place. They lived as much as possible not to get involved with other people. That's why they put a curse on the forest so that no one would come near it."
Miyako	"Just like my Goshujin-sama..."
Yakutsk	"It must have been Jusatsu Forest that cast the exorcism curse. Why is there such ominous magic floating at the entrance of this village?"
Miyako	"This magic is very dangerous. The power of sorcery, the Phantom Mist, and people's grudges are mixing together to create a miasma."
Yoshino	"The miasma caused by the curse is deadly. Don't think it's a good idea to continue like this."
Mary	"I didn't expect the curse to be so powerful. What a disaster. It's as if someone has cursed us directly."
Mary	"......"
Queensway	"Mary, is something wrong?"
Mary	"No, I just think the curse is a little too strong. Anyway, Queensway, how are you feeling? How much more power can you exert than usual?"
Queensway	"I wouldn't say I'm in good shape. I'd say I'm at about 70% of my normal level."
Mary	(So about 30%. If that's the case, Putra must be even worse.)
Mary	(All of them except Miyako and Maki are pale. Everyone's already affected by the curse. Yoshino and Conductor don't look well either...)
Mary	"Those who are not feeling well might want to take it easy and stay here. Those who are not resistant to the curse may collapse before they get out of the residential zone."
Queensway	"What are you talking about after all this time? No one is in great shape anyway."
Miyako	"Queensway-san is right. Not many people can withstand this kind of curse. Even you, Mary-san, you're feeling pretty worn out."
Mary	"I'm not worn out. I can fight somehow."
Miyako	"This is still the outskirts of the village. We can't go inside the forest if you can just 'fight somehow' in a place like this.
Yoshino	"Agree strongly. Mary is at best 70% of her normal level. You can't fool a sorceress's eyes."
Yakutsk	Miyako, how are you so unaffected? You cannot say that you can't feel anything even though this place has such a foul and disgusting presence. Even Yoshino looks pretty worn out too."
Miyako	"No, I certainly do feel something. It's just that I can tolerate this much. And I'm not the only one who seems to be okay with it.
Maki	"Yuuzen is gone. Nobody is in this village."
Maki	"Houses are in ruins. It's been a long time since they were destroyed."
Maki	"No traps. The Phantom Mist is a vicious, persistent type, but the frequency of demons is low. Is it safe to assume that there are no new victims?"
Maki	"The curse that turned into a miasma has a caster. Residual thoughts. Therein lies the clue to dispel the curse."
While everyone else was physically ill from the curse's effects, Maki was the only one who was normal. She was on the lookout in all directions, investigating the site and searching for the residual thoughts of the caster from the miasma floating in the village.
She approached and touched the miasma-turned-curse of her own volition. Witnessing Maki's horrified expression, Miyako and Yoshino, both sorceresses, could not hide their amazement.
Maki	"This is definitely caused by Hone Ningyou... Hone Ningyou is Yuuzen's biological mother."
Maki	"Cursed mother and daughter from Jusatsu Forest. They ate the flesh and souls of the villagers, and brought sorcery of doom to the land."
Maki	"...... Understood. Everyone died when Hone Ningyou attacked. Yuuzen's mother is the cause of this miasma. It's about what we expected. The operation can continue."
Miyako	"......"
Miyako	"...... How can you say it like that?"
Maki	"Say it like that?"
Maki	"How should it be said?"
Miyako	"It is about Yuuzen-san's mother. I don't think you should speak of Yuuzen-san and her family as if they're bad people when you don't know all the circumstances."
Maki	"Miyako, are you angry?"
Miyako	"I am not angry. I'm just expressing my opinion about what you said."
Maki	"......"
Maki	"Maki is not good at conversation. But that does not mean not good at handling words. Can handle it in sorceress's way."
Maki	"Maki has stated the facts. The sight I saw in this Mist and curse. It was an appropriate report to tell everyone about it."
Miyako	"Telling the facts as they are is not always a good thing."
Maki	"Would you say that what is right is wrong?"
Yoshino	"It's not like that; Maki's 'right' is not bad."
Yoshino	"But there is more than one answer. That's what Miyako wants to say. Not all of them, of course."
Yoshino	"It's not like Maki is saying things like that out of malice. Just that words didn't communicate very well between the two of you. The curse of sorcery is also like that, right?"
Maki	"Easy to understand. When one chooses the wrong words, the sorcery will change. Different people use different kinds of words."
Yoshino	"There is a difference between curses and conversations. In conversations, it is important to consider the feelings of others. That is what is called 'ko-myu-ni-kei-syon' between people."
Maki	"Conversations. Shi-chan is very good at it, but Maki is not good at it."
Maki	"Maki couldn't communicate well with Miyako. Maki's words didn't penetrate Miyako's heart."
Miyako	"That's true for me too. I didn't have enough words either."
Maki	"Miyako, I am sorry. Apologies. And I learned a lot. Thank you."
Maki	"Maki and Miyako are friends. To save Yuuzen, let's work together."
Yoshino	"Heard that there is a saying that, 'there are no bad kijin'. Glad that Maki seems to be a good person."
Miyako	"But, I don't feel like we'll get along."
Yoshino	"It's unusual for Miyako to say that."
Yoshino	"Well, it's also unusual for you to say something like that. Figured Miyako was more the type of person who just talks bluntly and straight to the point."
Yoshino	"Nee nee... Miyako, are you sure you are not angry?"
Miyako	"I'm not angry. I don't have any reason to be angry, do I?"
Yoshino	"No idea. You might have had a reason to be angry somewhere. Maybe you were angry even if you didn't have a reason."
Yoshino	"That's what 'feelings' are, Miyako."
Miyako	"'Feelings'......"
Miyako	"......"
Miyako	"Do you ever feel pain in your heart because of 'feelings'?"
Yoshino	"Yes, of course. Miyako, do you feel pain in your chest?"
Miyako	"Yes. I don't know why, but I felt pain in my chest and couldn't stand it. Then I realized I said something like that to Maki."
Miyako	"Is this strange? Is it because I am not using my words correctly?"
Yoshino	"No, it's not that. Quite sure it's because of your 'feelings'. Yoshino sometimes does that too."
Miyako	"How strange. Yoshino-chan when you say it like that, I really feel like that."
Miyako	"Thank you... Yoshino-chan."
Yoshino	"No no. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask anytime."
Yoshino	"We have to find Yuuzen soon. She is probably fighting alone right now. Yoshino and friends need to help her."
Miyako	"Yes, I agree. We need to get to Yuuzen-san as soon as possible."
