Okay, I haven't updated for like- centuries so once again, I'm sorry. My cold doesn't cooperate with my wishes and so, for the whole month, I have a disappearing and appearing cold. If only my body was strong enough for me to crawl out of bed and update. Plus I think the whole reason for this is the merciless snow. It's colder than usual here in our place. Anyway, enjoy reading 'cause I'm really starting to have fun in expressing myself here and I need to be stopped in 3,2,1!~

*Mai's POV*

I walked all over the odd house, almost done putting up the cameras and the measure of the temperature in each rooms. Well, it isn't odd any longer. I've already been inside the house for almost an hour and I've already understood the situation this strange house is currently undergoing. And I know already the current position of the SPR and just one thing is for sure: We, or more like Oliver and the group, in which soon will be arriving I bet, should not stay careless. The thing about this house is not about the roaming vengeful ghosts lying there around, It's the loop and the one who made and activated it. No amateur should have been able to create a loop. Those who can create it are those who have powers. However, loops are not in the range of Espers in which was why I could think that the opponent that will be confronted this time is no ordinary being.

Loops, this is a repetition of time in some kind of closed space. And surely, no Esper can open up a space. The one who have made it must be greater and powerful than Espers. Loops are, well- for example, The first of January. When one activates the loop in this day, the first of January will be repeated forever, in other words, in loops, no such thing as "tomorrow" exists. After the first of January, the next day of it will be the first of January again. It's the rewinding of the same day over and over again with no end. When the loop is activated, the time which waits nothing expels it, thus it will not be considered to be in the "real time" but in a closed space or a closed parallel world where nothing can enter and go out freely but the person who made it and one can only enter if some kind of invitation that was proven by that closed parallel world as an acknowledgement.

That kind of embodiment is currently lying in this tiny mansion and I don't know if I should move or not. To boot, I can smell an immortalis currently resting in this house. But- Oh well, I sure would be fascinated if Shibuya Kazuya would do something fun again. Well, I already know why I felt that way when I was still outside anyway. But, I sure am not happy to be treated that way. That's why, if they still think they can get away from this house if they plan some escape, I don't know what or to what extent might I do to them.

I licked my lips. I am excited. My heart is throbbing, my blood is rushing. I am happy from the thought alone. I regained my attention back into the reality in which I am currently writing the results of the temperatures in each rooms while standing up and smiling creepily. I sighed. I look like an idiot if I switch my expressions because of the thoughts that runs in my mind .time.

I went out of the room and walked in the straight hallway. Suddenly, when I was about to walk into a room, it blasted open and a kid, about 8 or 7 , I guess, walked out from it. She had dark emerald hair in which is the same color with her pair of eyes. She's cute, very cute in my opinion and also... strong. On reflex, I stepped out of the way before the door blasted open and after seeing her, My mind was endlessly grinning. Hmm.. So she's the master?

She was stepping back, her eyes wide open, her knees trembled as finally, she sat on the floor, still moving backwards until she crushed on the wall of the hallway. I ran to her side and sat on my knees and asked, "Are you okay? what's wrong?" She then pointed her ajar room with her index finger while tremendously trembling with fear. I looked at it and I saw a woman in a kimono, she was dripping wet, unusually very very pale. She looked at us with such empty eyes. She groaned in silence, some dark matter surrounding the woman. she's what I think she is: A ghost. And to boot, I can analyze from the groans that currently comes out of her mouth, I don't know if on purpose or not, that she was the one who screamed, "Give me back my child" when the black things attacked me.

I acted scared, because the true suspect is looking at me with such wide eyes. probably examining me if I or we, have the guts. Plus, I bet she's probably noticed what happened earlier which is the reason why, to test us, the woman is here, showing herself. Poor woman, just searching for her gone daughter had her being used this much. I let my whole body shake in fear. Just as I expected, I felt a testing stare. Behind me, without even me looking, I know that the girl who was trembling just a moment ago was staring at me as if testing me. But, the question is, why me?

I smiled in my mind again. the conclusion that have been formed in my mind was boring. She already knew that I was the one who broke the barrier. It might have been better for Naru to not know anything about the barrier because if you become aware of it, it will reject you. If you're still not aware of it, it will welcome you and thus, devours you.

In an instant, the woman disappeared, leaving traces of black aura in the air and soon, the black aura completely vanished. I felt the girl hold into me, her hands were really cold. "O-onee-chan... I-I'm scared!" She blurted. Ah man, so cute but right now, somehow, I really want to choke her to death. I still order my body to tremble. She needs to be convinced, that I know nothing. I need to deceive her, if I can't do that, she'll be a huge problem to consider. "I-It's okay, it's not there anymore." I assured her. I still let my body tremble and blurted that out on purpose so I can be seen as the image: "Scared but acting brave"

I looked to her, I change my gaze into warm and caring and asks her after, "Are you alright?" She nodded. She's very scared if seen by a normal human and I know she's doing it on purpose, just like I am. An actor can figure out if another actor is acting. I know but she doesn't. She's still inexperienced, a novice whom holds tremendous powers inside her. Yes, enough to create a personal loop. My gaze turned to the doll. Well, it's the same thing anyway. A ghost given power. I stretched out my hand to the "poor girl" and said, "Are you hurt anywhere?" She then shakes her head. "Anyway, let's get out of here first. That spirit -I try to tremble- might come back!" And I took her to the living room while holding her thing wrists.

*After 10 minutes*

"So you're saying what? That the two of you has been attacked by a spirit? is that it?" Naru, with his grim face and folded hands, looked at us, intending to answer the same questions over and over again, like 500 million times already. "how many times have I told you that it really happened! I'm not lying! Ayami-chan also saw it herself!" even if this was just an acting, certainly, this continuous tomfoolery is not to be praised any longer. I looked at Ayami with a face saying, "Prove it! Prove it that Mai onee-chan i not lying!"

At first she was dumbfounded at seeing my face then she looked at Naru and said, "It's true. This onee-chan -she points at me- is not lying. That woman appeared out of nowhere and Ayami was so terrified that she even slammed the door against this onee-chan." She proved me. I'm happy that she did but.. this onee-chan? If she only knows that it took me 2 days to think of this Japanese name when I filled in the form for the School I will be attending here. I sighed.

"Anyways, Mai. Don't stray to far and leave Ayami-chan alone for now. You'll be her bodyguard until John and the rest comes here." Naru warned and informed me. I made my face lighten in happiness as I clapped my hands, "Really? John and the others will be coming here." See? Like I thought.

I notice Ayami flinch. I smiled. Looks like John and the others have already arrived. Another second and the doorbell rang continuously. Noriko went to the door to welcome them, Naru, Ayami, Ayami's step-mother and I still stayed at the living room. I looked at Ayami and notice her looking at Naru intently. Hmmm... Not bad, as expected of an immortalis, she already knows,

that Naru is a perfect candidate to be one of us, immortalis.
