Kougami's secretary, Erika Satonoka, came as she is about to give him the list of employees whose birthdays are to be celebrated within this month and there the two exchanged comments about the situation Kyuji and Ankh are in, as well as about Hinamizawa Village. Though not interested on the village's topic, she nevertheless offered her comments about the villagers' fates.
"Look at this, Satonoka…O's and Ankh…have finally entered the mansion where it houses the infamous "Tokyo"…and what excitement it has brought…a birth of an action team-up between two unlikely characters…bound by fate…and they make excellent allies…"
"It's a good thing we are not contacted by "Tokyo", President Kougami…at least they are not aware that we know their agenda…but what do we do with them since they intend to destroy a quiet village like Hinamizawa…?"
"Nothing! We let action take its course! O's will do the rest! And with a Greed somewhere there…that's when my biggest desire comes in…see more of O's power! Splendid! Very splendid indeed, oh yes!"
"Very well, sir…but may I ask permission…? I wish to go home now…it's past my shift now…"
"Very well, Satonoka…you are dismissed…report tomorrow morning…"
"Thank you, sir…and goodnight."
After this, he gave Erika permission to go home while he tells Gotoh to continue to monitor the events at the mansion, and to get the Cell Medals if possible though he cautions Gotoh not to interfere and to stay put, which Gotoh reluctantly agreed to. The scene then shifts to the outside of the mansion where Gotoh is hiding behind the bush and mentally wondered what Kougami sees in Kyuji and Ankh and why is he instructed to stay hidden as he wondered what would happen if the Yummies are to appear.
"Seriously…I won't mind if O's and that Greed would take care of the "Tokyo" members and the Yamainu…but what if a Yummy shows up…? Is it really okay to let action take its course even if it means sacrificing them even if means they won't be exposed for their corrupt ways and for their participation in their attempt to commit genocide on a peaceful village?"

The scene then shifts inside the mansion where it shows that Kyuji and Ankh are blending I with the crowd after entering and there Kyuji is surprised to see that the guests are prominent political personalities and is further surprised when Ankh whispered to him and told him that the people in here are secret members of "Tokyo" and that they use their influence to cover up what is happening at Hinamizawa Village and are among those who support the plan to destroy it.
"How did you know about this…?"
"I did some secret investigation when I once visited Hinamizawa Vilage…and this helped me identify them…try not to arouse suspicion…or else they'll throw you out…"
"Huh? Detective Kudo…?"
"Shh…not so loud…just move about as if your part of the crowd…"
After a minute, something happened again, much to Kyuji's confusion.
"Kyuji…keep your eyes open…I'm certain that a Greed is here…I can sense its faint aura…"
"Ankh?What just happened…?A minute ago Detective Kudo just spoke to me…"
"Shut up…your job now is to be ready…we might need O's power…"
"But…we should try to evacuate everyone here…"
"Shut your mouth and do as I say…"
"We agreed that we should put innocent lives first before your medals…"
Before an argument is about to take place, the Greed told Kyuji to focus on finding out where Takano is, as well as to be on standby as he sensed the presence of a Greed, having felt Uva's faint aura, since Uva is currently in human form, and so the two moved about calmly but separately as to not arouse suspicion from the crowd knowing that they are in "enemy territory". Kyuji reluctantly did so, still confused as to what is happening to Shinichi's body after witnessing the detective and the Greed exchanging psyches.
-x-
The scene shifts further inside the mansion and then zooms upward towards a room where Miyo Takano meets up with two persons who are connected to "Tokyo", one a man and the other a woman. They are identified as Okonogi and Nomura. The two then glanced at Uva who is behind Takano and Okonogi asked Takano why she has brought an outsider with her, in which Takano covered it up by saying he is her "new recruit" as she wanted to see what Uva can do to help her achieve her plans without outside interference.
"Are you sure he works for you? What if he's a spy?"
"Then I would've seen it already. I promise you…he's under my watch."
"Fine. Nomura…?"
"If Takano is fine with it…then it's fine with me."
Not wanting to waste time on small things, Nomura asked Takano how things are going at the Hinamizawa Village and there she told them that some "unexpected situations" happened, including someone that resembled Shinichi Kudo, which Okonogi is alarmed at first as he heard a lot about the teen detective but Takano assured to him that they are finished by now as she revealed that she secretly injected the Hinamizawa Syndrome drugs on the people she contacted and that they are now in LV 4 of the disease, which would cause them to be violent and that the villagers are now killing each other.
Nodding as he is satisfied at hearing that Shinichi Kudo would be dead before the village is decimated Okonogi took his leave as he is going to check on his Yamainu troopers and to station more soldiers at their posts, while Nomura also decided to leave, as she is going to entertain the guests, who are members of "Tokyo". With Uva and Takano alone, she then presses Uva to get to the point and asked him what he can do to help her achieve her goals in destroying the village.
"Okay…we're alone now…so tell me…you claim that you can help me destroy that accursed village…so how can you pull it off…? This is your chance to prove yourself or else I'll have you killed…"
"Patience…I already know about your plans…especially when reading this piece of information…"
"Huh? My laptop! How did you…?"
"It took me a while to read this language…but I've gotten used to it…now then…is destroying that village really you're desire…?"
"So what if it is? What do you know and what do you care?"
Takano is surprised to see Uva holding her laptop and there she saw him read the notes on the Hinamizawa Syndrome and her research, and then Uva asks her if destroying Hinamizawa Village is her desire, which she said that it is. Driven by curiosity, Uva then revealed his Greed form and asks her if he can read her thoughts so as to know what he could do to give her the means to carry out her plans.
"Wh-what the…?"
"Fear not…I said I'm going to help you…"
"Wh-what are you?"
"I'm a Greed…a creature born from desires 800 years ago…now I ask you again…is destroying that village your true desire?"
"And if I ay I do…?"
"Perhaps if you allow me to read your mind…I might come up with some ways to help you achieve it…"
"Fine…just hurry it up…"
With her consent, Uva placed his hand on her forehead and slowly read her thoughts, and there he learned a great deal about Takano as he read her past, starting from her childhood up to the present, as he could sense her very strong desire. Miyo is a nurse and the mastermind of the events that happened in the first four years of the Hinamizawa incident during the annual festival of that village.
While she is very popular at the Irie Clinic where she works, and while she is very interested in the history and mythology of Hinamizawa, underneath her lies her rue motives. Her personality is quite twisted, as she seems to derive pleasure from frightening people with tales of Hinamizawa's past. She also sees people as guinea pigs for her research, and only truly cares for her grandfather and his friends. She is infamous for being an occult maniac. She also talks in a very condescending and patronizing manner, sometimes causing people to hate her.
She has many scrapbooks containing all her different theories about Oyashiro-sama's curse, and she sometimes lends them to people for fun, such as Shion and Rena. The one she gives Rena, file 34, contains the theory about parasites controlling people's minds, and seems to be loosely based on the Hinamizawa syndrome theory, making it the theory closest to the actual truth (save for the part about aliens).
Takano also has an obsession with attaining the level of Godhood. She first adopted the notion of becoming a God as a child, when Hifumi, not long after rescuing her from the orphanage, tells her about the story of Jesus's resurrection. He tells her that it was not Jesus's physical body that was resurrected, but the belief in his teachings. Hifumi believed that one becomes a God when they make a great achievement that puts their name in history, so that even when they die, they will be immortalized in a sense.
He then expresses his desire to become a God himself, by proving the existence of Hinamizawa syndrome and making a name for himself in the scientific community. When he dies, Miyo takes it upon herself to carry on his research and have it recognized by the world. Her ultimate goal is to become a God along with Hifumi, so that they can be together for all eternity.
Uva is greatly intrigued by this before he resumes probing her mind.
"Interesting…her desires are so strong I can make a good harvest of Cell Medals…"
Delving further into her memories, Uva finally found the trigger as to what made Takano assume the role of a terminator to Hinamizawa Village. The reasons behind her actions are revealed the Greed mentally delves further into her past. She was born Tanashi Miyoko, but her parents died in an unfortunate bus accident when she was quite young, so the government had her sent to an orphanage.
However, fate took her to a very bad turn as she and other children were abused repeatedly there, and eventually try to escape. They are pursued, largely because the orphanage gets government money based on the number of children they house. She evades capture long enough to call Hifumi Takano's (her father's former professor) number for help as her father had instructed some time before his death. She is re-captured, but is eventually rescued and adopted by Hifumi.
"Hmm…maybe I can use these tragic memories of hers to make her desire stronger…and use them to make stronger Yummies…"
Interested in what he just learned, Uva delved further to see which tragic past he could find to use and manipulate her into sinking to her desire so he could spawn a Yummy. There he learned more of her past, such as her fate after being "rescued" from the orphanage and living with Hifumi. There he learned that Hifumi becomes a sort of grandfather for her, and she cares deeply for him. Hifumi was the one who started Miyo on the path of medicine with his study of Hinamizawa Syndrome.
However, another fateful turn of events further steered her towards a misguided path which has set the chain of events that led her to her current self.
When Hifumi died, having been humiliated and discredited by his superiors, Miyo decided to carry on his studies in order to prove his theories, and, in doing so, was perfectly content to make the entire village go mad with paranoia by killing the Queen Carrier, and then ordering the annihilation of the villagers as well. She is literally obsessed with proving the theories he spent his life on and making a name for both of them.
The death of Hifumi, plus the fact that his superiors humiliated and discredit him, and the fact that upon learning that some government officials are among those who funded the orphanage, led her to join "Tokyo", and there she became an important member which further increased Uva's curiosity.
""Tokyo", huh? Mind if I get to know them?"
"Will that help me in getting revenge on my tormentors?"
"Maybe…if you let me…"
"Fine…just hurry up…"
Reading further with her mind, Uva slowly got to know about "Tokyo" and what role they play in today's era. He learned that "Tokyo" is an organization plotting the whole murder and massacre of Hinamizawa Village. "Tokyo" members consist of very powerful figures such as governmental and political people. Within this organization, there are the three main members who investigate directly in Hinamizawa Village: Takano Miyo, and Tomitake Jirou. "Tokyo" has control over a large group of soldiers, known as the Yamainu, whom they lend to Takano.
Being a member of "Tokyo", Takano has control over an elite squad of soldiers called the Yamainu, provided to her by the "Tokyo group", who carry out much of her dirty work, although she does not hesitate to do some of it herself. In many cases she has been personally responsible for the death of the Queen Carrier and of her lover Tomitake Jirou.
Uva then realized that the woman who just left the room is connected to Tokyo. The woman in question is identified as Nomura, and she appeared to be the "main character" who works behind the scenes in "Tokyo" to support Takano's research and help plan for the Great Hinamizawa Disaster, however much of her remains a mystery.
Seeing enough, and intending to harvest a large number of Cell Medals, Uva took out a Cell Medal and "slots" it onto Takano's forehead and within seconds a whitish entity came out of her much to Takano's surprise while Uva assured to her that it will help her cause and that her "desires" will become a reality which she wondered if what the Greed say is true or not.
"Wh-what is that?"
"Fear not…my Yummy will not harm you…that thing will help you achieve what you desire…"
"Yummy…? My desire…? What does that have to do with my mission?"
"With patience…it will evolve…and it will carry out what you desire most."
"And what do you know about my desire?"
"Your desire to get back at those who detracted you…who humiliated you…as well as the ones who tormented and abuse you at this…orphanage…where you were abused years ago…think back…and when you realize it..you will attain what you wanted in life…make your enemies pay…"
As Miyo is forced to confront her tragic pasts, her desire for vengeance builds up and this caused Cell Medals to be "developed" and "harvested" inside the whitish entity, and within a few minutes it molted into the Higurashi Yummy, which resembles a humanoid-like cicada, and then smashed its way through the window and heads out to an unknown direction. As Takano wondered what the Yummy is about to do, Uva pointsout that the Higurashi Yummy is out to act on one of her first desires: get back at the people running the orphanage who abused her before being rescued by Hifumi.
"Is it heading…for the orphanage…?"
"Based on one of the desires you've been secretly harboring…now then…let's make some more…"
Her desires are so strong which the Greed took advantage of as he slots in about 10 Cell Medals which seconds later spawns out 10 whitish entities and within a few minutes an army of Higurashi Yummies are evolved and are slowly amassing several Cell Medals inside their bodies which Uva planned to harvest them.
To Be Continued…
While no action is shown at this moment, this chapter shows how Miyo Takano origins which led her to become this arc's main antagonist and with Uva manipulating her, Kyuji and Ankh are going to have a hard time dealing with this kind of problem once the threat makes itself present.
Again, Kyuji is baffled even more as Shinichi Kudo and Ankh are exchanging psyches on the detective's body, which suggests a "power struggle" on who gets to control the body and why are they constantly at odds over a situation…
Preview:
The massacre commences and our heroes are going to have a hard time containing the imminent danger as they are forced to deal with a swarm of cicada monsters…
