Chapter 8: Minakami Village
Mio and Mayu, and Mio and Mayu, and Kei were quietly walking down to the village. They were on a hill, and the village was below it. So, down and down they went, until Kei's foot hit something.
"Wait." He told the girls, then he bent down and picked up the object. It was a black purse, with a few newspaper clippings inside. Kei scanned through it, then said, "There's a man named Masumi. He had disappeared while searching for any villages before they built the Minakami Dam." he gave her a photo of a woman and a man. "This is a picture of Masumi and his lover, Miyako."
The four girls stared at him, and he let out a small "eh?"
Mio 1, without hestitation or anything, asked, "Are you sure that you're not stalking them to know these things?"
Kei's face became red with embarassment. "I just know them, that's all! Well... I researched on them..." his voice trailed off. The four girls started laughing, and they continued on the journey down to the village. When they reached halfway to the village, they saw a woman in a white jacket and a black skirt walk into a house.
"Look! it's a woman!" Mio 1 said. They all raced down the hill to try to catch up with her. They followed her into a small house, feeling like they were being watched as they entered the house. The group of five walked slowly to the door in front of them.
"I kept waiting for you..." the voice trailed into their ears as they opened the door. The five of them turned, but there was noone there. They slowly entered through the open door. It slammed shut behind them.
"Even though we finally met...Why...?" The voice said again.
"Mio, quit it." Kei said.
"But we're not doing anything." The two Mios said.
"WHAT?"
