Motherhood can be a pain, no matter how hard you try, and now Mai going to find that out. After an encounter with a local high school student she becomes the ideal mother to the children ghosts in an old house SPR is investigating. is the end of Mai? and just who is the high school student?

Two days ago a landowning couple stopped by SPR to hire us to investigate a home on their property after having to keep hiring a new work crew, to tear down the home, every two weeks for the last three months. The workers clam the man of the house, Akio Dohojo, said to donate the toys and games, but every time they take the stuff out at night the very next day the toys are right back in their places.

"They even look like someone has used them."

"Thank you, that will be all," replied Kazuya (He's my boss, I call him Naru).

"The toys seem to be common occurrence," I said, thinking aloud. "I think we're dealing with a child spirit."

"You're half right, Mai."

"Masa- Oh, and who might you be," I asked looking at an angry high school student.

"It's not safe for you to be here," said the girl in a style that would make Naru happy.

"H-how do you know my name?"

"You may come in now.""Yes ma'am," replied someone else.

"Kuroda?! What -"

"Do not yell, they can't know you're here," said the student. Then she pointed at Naru, "And you, it would be unwise to bring in anymore females in here and if you have any smarts you would send this girl home."

"Ma'am calm down, please remember what happened the last time you got angry," Keroda told the girl. With that The girl left the room. "I'm sorry for that. I must go, E wait for me."
