"That strange guy tried to kill me last night!" the bald man said frantically.
Kyougo and Masachika briefly exchanged looks. Inside the police station, the bald man gave the information to the police officers about an incident last night.
"Okay, so how does...the guy looks like?" Masachika asked.
"What had I remember was he wore a black suit with a black fedora hat, and he wore a plague doctor mask to conceal his face!" the bald man explained. "And not just that! He even can conjured a fireball from his hand!"
The police officers went silent for a few seconds.
"A man with plague doctor mask wan can conjures fireball? Are you kidding me?" Kyougo narrowed his eyes.
"Trust me, I'm not lying! I saw it with my own eyes!" the bald man insisted.
Kyougo took a sip of mineral water as he just listened to the bald man's words.
"That guy must be some kind of a hostile alien in disguise who looks for his prey! I want the authorities to do something about it!" the bald man said.
"Alright, mister. Let us investigate about this guy first" Masachika assured. "We'll inform you after we received additional information"
With a distraught expression, the bald man finally went silent.
Perhaps it seemed to be illogical for them. But still, an another case needed to be solved. There's no time to sit quietly and do nothing.

"Alright, students!"
Tengen the art teacher was about to spoke as the students of high school section gathered together inside the school gym.
"As the Gallery of Mythological Arts has recently opened in the city last week, the teachers have decided to bring the students there for a visit next week!" Tengen explained.
"A visit to gallery?"
The students began to discuss with each other.
"Finally! Now I don't have to be worry of getting chased by Tomioka-sensei!" Zenitsu was excited.
"Just remind you that he's also joining the trip too" Tanjirou reminded.
Zenitsu's expression changed.
"Gallery of...Mythological Arts? What's that?" Gyutaro was dumbfounded.
"Basically, it's a special gallery reserved for any arts of legendary figures and deities around the world" Hakuji explained.
"Like Medusa of the Aztecs?" Gyutaro said.
"Pardon me, Shabana-san but Medusa is from Greek Mythology" Shinobu corrected.
"Sensei, I've a question!" Inosuke raised his hand.
"Yes?" Tengen raised his eyebrows.
"Do they sell foods in the art gallery?" Inosuke asked in excited manner.
"No" Tengen shooked his head.
Inosuke just frowned.
"Inosuke, they don't sell foods in the art gallery" Aoi sighed.
Tengen then pulled out his gum container from his jacket.
"Uzui!"
Soon, Tengen noticed a fellow teacher walked towards him. It was Sanemi, the math teacher.
"Yo, Shinazugawa! What are you doing here?" Tengen asked.
"Well, one of your wives just came to the teacher's lounge" Sanemi answered.
"Who?" Tengen raised his eyebrows.
"The black haired one with ponytail" Sanemi explained briefly.
"Ah, it's Hinatsuru" Tengen said.
Tengen wondered why Hinatsuru came to the teacher's lounge out of sudden. And perhaps there's something that he forgot.
...
The school session for today was finally over, and it's time for Tanjirou to go home. Nezuko wasn't with him since she was going to ice cream shop with her classmates, Sabito, Makomo and the Tokitou twins.
For some reason, Tanjirou felt two persons followed him from behind. However, when he turned behind...
No one was there. Maybe it was his imagination after all. Tanjirou finally resumed his walk.
But yes, there were two persons who followed him. But they aren't humans.
They're the same shadowy figures who appeared in Sumihiko's bedroom.
"That boy never accepts any offer from the Lord of Dreams, yet He allows him to roam inside His domain" Shadow Figure 2 said.
"It seems that Lord Hypnos has finally granted the wish of other boy's brother" Shadow Figure 1 replied.
"What do you mean?" Shadow Figure 2 asked.
"His presence in the Realm are crucial to aid the latter to reunite with his younger brother" Shadow Figure 1 stated.
"I see. Perhaps we should aid him if he's in trouble" Shadow Figure 2 suggested.
The Shadow Figures will always keep their eyes on Tanjirou, Sumihiko and Kanata as long as they're present in the Realm of Hypnos.
