Recap:

Ending the call, Mai blinked, she thought it would be much harder to change things, but it looked like everything was going to be fine. Making her way back to the kitchen, pulled out cups for others, and steeped the tea carefully.

Mei, it's Christmas Eve, and I think I'll have to work on Christmas Day. I wish you were here. She thought.

Time Skip to Parish(Church) Front Entrance

"Wow, look at that. It's beautiful." Mai comments, staring in awe at the Parish. "It's amazing, Christmas at an actual Church. It's so nice."

"We didn't come her to goof around Mai." Naru interjects scolding her.

Mai looks at Naru frowning, "I know we're here to work. I'm just excited is all" She replies, quick to defend herself.

"This is fantastic." Masako comments looking up at the building.

Ayako moves a hand to her hip, "It just doesn't get better than celebrating Christmas at a Church." she remarks with a smile.

"Yeah, we know." Monk sighs.

Naru refusing to restrain himself, "Look we have a job to do." he remains serious as he speaks.

"And that's why we're here." Masako smiles. "To work. Though you have to admit, it is tough working on a holiday." She slips in, clearly insinuating something.

"That's true." Ayako smiles, clearly getting what Masako meant as they faced Naru.

Monk leans near John, placing a hand onto his shoulder, "We're gonna have to try and wrap this up quick today. There's a party later on and you will be there, right John?" Monk spoke, a closed eye smile evident.

John smiles timidly, "Great...sounds fun." he replies.

Ignoring their chatter, Naru starts making his way forward, he didn't understand why people celebrated the holidays. Just another chance at gaining money.

Lin following close behind as the others soon started to follow.

A man stood at the entrance of the church, "Ah, Father Brown." he spoke referring to John. "Good day, Father." John replied in kind to the older man.

"I appreciate you coming by." he speaks gently, observing the people behind John.

Raising a to the man, John introduces him. "I'd like you all to meet the Pastor of the Church, Father Toujo." Pointing to the others. "Father, this is my associate. He's the Head of Shibuya Psychic Research, Kazuya Shibuya." He finishes, introducing the two men.

Bowing, Father Toujo responds, "It is a pleasure to meet you."

Turning her head, Mai could hear the sounds of children laughing and playing. "What's that?" she asks.

Time Skip to Children's Playground Outside

"You see that, there's probably a kid from every country in the world on that playground." Monk remarks as he watches all the children playing happily.

"Father Toujo helps run a daycare service for the Church for experts in the city. A majority of the children are foreigners with work visas." John explains, looking over a pair of children playing together. "The rest of the children are either orphans or children awaiting placement in a foster home. They really love it here as you can see."

"That's so nice." Mai says with a smile, reminding her of her time once in a Church before Mei came for her.

Suddenly some children ran up to Masako, "Whoa, your that famous psychic." one child says.

"I've seen you on TV."

"Whoa."

"Oh, hello children." Masako greets them with a smile hidden behind her sleeved kimono.

"Come on, why don't you talk to some spirits for us, huh?"

"I want to see a spirit."

"Ooh, me too."

They started getting a little rowdy near Masako, she smiles, but it wasn't one for safety, however it's for help.

"It's not that easy kids." Mai tries to explain.

Father Toujo walks up, trying to save Masako, "Alright now. Settle down children, settle down." Looking up to Masako. "I'm so sorry about that."

Masako smiles, "It's fine" Ayako raises a hand to her cheek,

"I would be surprised if they didn't react the way they did." Ayako states.

Naru interjects, "While Father Toujo briefs us on the case." He looks over to everyone. "I'll need you to babysitter with the children until we return."

Ayako, Masako, and Mai flinch, obviously surprised. Looking down at the children who start celebrating happily, Oh Mei, how did you deal with me when I was this age? Mai thought, sighing.

Running up, "Alright, who's ready to have some fun on the swingset with Takigawa!" Monk calls, riling the children up some more.

Ignoring anyone's scolding, Monk starts marching towards the playground, while some kids tugged Masako with them and lead Ayako with Mai close behind as well.

Time Skip to a room with Naru, Lin, John, and Father Toujo

"Now gentlemen. Every so often unexplainable things will happen here at the Church. This morning one of the children was behaving erratically, at which point I telephoned Father Brown and he suggested I contact you right away." Father Toujo explained weakly.

John looks up, "You know the kids from the daycare? Like clockwork every couple of weeks one of them will be possessed by a spirit." Shaking his head, he remarks. "I've exorcised spirits form them a number of times."

"But you're saying no matter what the possessions recur?" Naru asks, while Lin next to quickly typed as they spoke.

"That's right." John nodded.

"However, the possessions never to do any permanent harm to the child. They just behave like a completely different person." Father Touo reiterates. "And their all obsessed with hiding."

"They're hiding?" Naru blinks in confusion.
