As the squad entered through the door, Y/n looked around the surroundings she looked up and saw a lot of stars illuminating across the sky.

       Just then they heard a the ground shake and saw that the door had closed shut. "Y/n-senpai, let's go!" Kou called her.

       Y/n nodded as she followed them until she stepped on something. She slowly looked down and saw that she stepped on a wig.

      'So this is where that iconic 'did you see my wig' come from'

       The wig fell down to the waterfall. Y/n listened to the fall so that she will know how deep it is. She looked over to find the bottom. "Eh, there's no bottom?" Y/n squinted her eyes to see. "Can't see shit."

      "Look! Someone's there!" Kou pointed his staff at the giant shadowed figure infront of them.

      "W-what?!" Yashiro covered her mouth in shock.

      "T-that's.."

       The figure was based on the body parts they have chosen on each station. "The parts we've been collecting?" Kou questioned. Yashiro was hiding behind Y/n.

       "It's hideous." Hanako commented.

       "I'm scared." Yashiro says.

       "That thing was even more hideous than the ghost's current girlfriend." Y/n deadpanned while referring to Souho, the guy who ghosted her before all of this happened.

      "It's your fault you sticking a weird leg on it, boy." Hanako told the blonde exorcist.

      "You told us to grab whatever!" Kou argued back.

      "Can we just stop and appreciate that left leg." Y/n pointed at Yashiro who is currently fawning over the figure's bust size and left leg.

      "You actually like this chest, Yashiro?" Hanako questioned the daikon girl.

      "She's envious." Y/n chuckled at her bestfriend.

      Just then they heard footsteps coming towards them. "I see you've finally arrived."

      The squad turned around and saw a beautiful woman with beige hair tied in a red and white ribbon with small bells. Her eyes are bright green and wears a patterned kimono. Y/n puts her hand on her mouth.

      'Oh my god she looks so beautiful I'm gonna cry!' Y/n fangirled inside her head.

      'Its the woman on the phone!' Yashiro thought. 'She's so beautiful, it startled me a bit.'

      The woman rushed to the figure behind them with splashing footsteps that made Kou and Yashiro step back in confusion.

      "U-um, about that doll." Y/n pointed out.

      The woman looked behind them with a menacing glare that made Kou, Y/n and Yashiro shudder in fear. The woman moved her gloved hand to the figure's cheek.

      "What a wonderful body.." The woman smiled at them. Y/n jawdropped at the woman's words.

      "Y-you like it?" Kou asked her.

      "I was in quite a bind, you know." The woman grabbed Y/n's hands that made her flustered a bit. "I had no idea what a human body is made of. I knew asking about humans about humans was a right idea."

      "I'm sure this one would work." The woman puts her hand on the figure's thigh after letting go of Y/n's hand. "Isn't that right, Misaki?"

      "Now try walking for me." The woman blew some magic to the figure as it began to shake. The four of them began to shudder in fear as they watch the figure coming to life.

       Until it fell down breaking it into parts. The woman went to the figure as she picked up the head. "Another failure." she said. "What a shame."

       "Pardon me for asking, but have you seen any other kids here?" Y/n asked the woman. "They're wearing the same uniform as us."

       "Others?" The woman stood up. "You mean the children who failed. If you're looking for them, they're all around you."

       Yashiro spotted a familiar purple haired doll. She ran towards it. "Aoi!" she cried.

       "Nene-chan!" Y/n followed her. Yashiro was crying calling Aoi's name for her to wake up, but the doll's head fell off from the body.

       "I'll do as the rumors say, and tear you apart." The woman says holding an open pair of scissors. Y/n quickly blocked Yashiro and glared at the woman.

       Luckily, Kou was there to block the blade using his right arm. "Are you alright Y/n-senpai?" he asked her.

       Just then his arm turned into a doll's hand. "Hey what the hell is this?!" he asked.

       "It looked like that thing turns humans into dolls when it cuts them." Hanako says holding his kitchen knife.

       "Transform into your cape or something!" Kou told Hanako. The apparition shook his head.

       "I can't this is Number Two's territory, I can't use my haku-joudai's powers without her permission." Hanako explained to him. "That would change if we get to her Yorishiro."

       "I'll start with you then." The woman came behind Kou as she attacked him using the giant scissors.

       "Okay! Keep it up!" Hanako cheered as he went to Y/n and Yashiro's direction.

       "She's still alive you know?" Hanako told the two of them. Yashiro looked up with him with tears on her face. Y/n looked away as she wiped her tears using her forearm.

       "Then I'll do anything to find her." Y/n told him with a serious look on his face. Hanako's eyes widened in shock at her statement, until there's a weird glint on his eyes.

       "Anything?" Hanako teased her.

       "If you're going to have unholy thoughts, no thanks." Y/n waved her hands off. Hanako pulled her and Yashiro as he tied them back-to-back from each other.

       "Knot, check." Hanako checked the rope. "Rope strength, check. Safety check, all green!"

       Yashiro was scared on Hanako's instincts. "Chill, Yash." Y/n told her. "We're doing this to our gal, Aoi."

       "This isn't the deepest part yet, and the Yorishiro is not here." Hanako grabbed Y/n's face to make her face him. "So I was thinking that if it's not the very top, maybe it's at the very bottom." he explained to her.

        "Wait don't tell me?" Yashiro looked at their direction. Hanako grinned goofily as Y/n gave Yashiro a smile.

       "Yep." Y/n grinned. "Hanako, let's get this bread!"

       Hanako placed both of his hands on Y/n's shoulders. Yashiro's eyes widened at the idea. "I'm counting on you two." he said as he shoved them off the edge.

       "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Yashiro screamed while holding Y/n's hand behind her.

       "OH MAN HOLY SHIT!" Y/n shouted in anticipation with an excited glint in her eyes, while Yashiro was scared for her life.

       Kou heard his two seniors screaming. "Y/n-senpai? Yashiro-senpai?" he questioned as the woman tried to hit him. "Whoah!"

       Hanako jumped on the way as he launched the scissors off the woman using his weapon. "Sorry for making you wait, boy."

       "Hanako, what did you do to them?" Kou asked him.

       "Don't worry they will be fine." Hanako assured the exorcist. "I think."

       "You think?!" Kou explained.

       The woman smiled creepily at them. "I'd be happy to shred the both of you." she said.

       "We need to hold out until the two find what's she's after." Hanako told Kou. The exorcist nodded at him.

       "Got it!" said Kou.
