Old Man in Disguise
Two days later, Noll, Gene, Lin, Madoka, and two interns from SPR found themselves at the place where they would be working for the next few days; an antique shop. The owner, a Japanese couple and their son, Yasuhara Osamu – the very same guy who greeted them in front of their shop, had asked for 'help' (or 'assistance' if you asked Noll) as they encountered a problem with a cursed painting. Every time someone bought the painting, they would die gruesomely in the very next day with the painting back to the shop, as if it hadn't gone anywhere.
Meanwhile, after Yasuhara gave them a tour to the shop and the house in the back of the shop, the team began to work on setting up the base . Yasuhara offered to help and somehow, he befriended the interns and Madoka.
Gene tried to stifle bubbles of laughter in his throat when he heard Yasuhara, in his best serious tone, reply to one question from Madoka regarding his age. "I'm 315."
Madoka blinked, and then, "Ohhhhh... You look so young!" She remarked in playful tone.
"Indeed, child." Yasuhara winked at the female researcher, who giggled merrily.
