Marisa: We should be there soon, hard to navigate around when this place is a maze.

The witch led the group aiming for the library, holding her dress with both of her hands, revealing a pair of dark blue high heels that did not fit her usual attitude at all, just like her outfit. With her hair growing much longer than she wanted, she had to turn it into a ponytail just so that it wouldn't drag itself across the ground.

Kasen: Wouldn't it be more preferable to change outfit before entering that place?

Marisa: It's... difficult to explain.

Hesitating a bit in her words, she turned her head and got a good look at the party following her. Standing side my side, the gap youkai and her 'servant' were walking in the back... or at least one of them, the 'master' of the duo deciding to fly instead of walking. Walking in front of them, Kasen was staring back at her, waiting for a response to her question.

Reinforcement is also coming, the message that she probably sent before they entered would have reached the Moriya shrine by now, it was only a matter of time before they obtained a response.

Marisa: As much as I would like to get rid of that thing, it feels... oddly familiar, almost like it was an extend of my body.

Kasen: That could possibly be a curse, we should take a look at it once we're done.

Yukari: Well, I wouldn't be surprised if it was indeed a curse but I have my doubts.

Deeply in her thoughts, the woman was still attempting to enter the library hidden underground with one of her gaps, only to fail each time. That strong opposition made her more conscious of a terrible possibility, something powerful might be hidden there.

Yukari's mind: A future incident in the making, a struck of luck for us to discover it so soon.

Ran: Lady Yakumo, is something the matter?

Yukari: Oh, don't mind me Ran, I'm simply thinking to myself.

She flashed a smile to the one beside her before falling back into her theories. To be able to defeat both the Hakurei shrine maiden AND the curious witch at the same time, one would need more than simple raw power, they would need to be prepared to face everything.

One could think that their current team might not be enough to take out the threat.

Yukari: ...

If the culprit cannot be neutralized, it must be eliminated.

Grabbing the first book at the top of the pile, he took a good look at the cover and felt a large weight being placed on his back. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, he was a murderer in the eyes of everyone but being faced by the ones that would punish him for his acts still gave him shivers.

'The book of Yukari Yakumo, the grand gap youkai that knows many.'

Y/N's mind: So, this is it...

Worthless words were said into his head while he opened the book, taking a look at one of the many judges that has deemed him guilty and for a good reason.
