"h.e.l.lo everyone! It"s your dear sweetie Maria - chan here from London!" Maria is doing a live broadcast again. "I have watched that live broadcast from that FBB team three days ago, that"s seriously scary. We really should mind our words sometimes, we will never know who are we going to offend, right?" said Maria, and all the people in the live chat agree with.
"Actually I was planning to do an exploration in one of the rumored haunted old folk"s homes in j.a.pan today. There is a rumor about the reason that place getting abandoned."
"They said years ago, when that old folk home is still operating, the residents there will suddenly disappear without any sign, people say that they are getting kidnapped and eaten by some monsters from underground, these negative news caused fear in the owner of that place and so they abandoned it. However, this attracted those thrill-seeking explorer to do exploration in there, but no one seems to be able to explore deep in the place and find the truth about the disappearance on the old folk house"s residents, some said those who went deep enough and found the truth were gone missing in the building and cannot be found anymore."
"I really want to explore that place but I have other things to handle in London. So I am getting some help from my friends in j.a.pan for that. Let us switch our camera to j.a.pan." said so, the scene of the live broadcast switch to a place in j.a.pan. Mhmm... Talk about advanced technologies.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
j.a.pan, 11.30 pm.
Sky, Chris, and Seito are currently in an abandoned building in rural areas. They are doing an exploration while having a live broadcast on Maria"s Channel, Seito who is holding the camera is taking the role of cameraman as well as the "team leader" in this exploration.
"Hi! Seito"s here."
As soon as Seito introduced himself, the live chat becomes heated up again.
"Omg! It"s Seito - kun!"
"I never thought I will see Seito kun in Marichan"s live broadcast again."
"Seito-san still looks so handsome, but that other guy over there is a real deal, is he Marisan"s friend?"
"You mean that black-haired man? Omg! I just notice him, he looks like a prince!" Mhmm... These sorts of comments.
Chris look at the live chat, and he frowned as he saw those comments about him.
"Haha... These two are my friends, Sky and Chris." And so Seito introduced the two.
Then, the live chat goes even more heat up than before.
"You know, I actually regret accepting that request from Maria right now." said Chris through telepathy to the other two...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite been abandoned for about a decade, the old folk home still retains most of its previous features, although it is quite old and dirty. All the furnitures are still in good shape, as if it was abandoned for less than a year, but the old fashioned look of the furniture tells them otherwise, or rather, the furniture looks too old to be even exist at ten years ago.
"Is this just my imagination or this place is getting sealed off by time?" said Sky.
Chris examined the surroundings and all the furniture, he sensed some magic traces from some of the furniture.
"Hmm... I have an uneasy feeling about this." said Chris with a rather awkward tone, obviously he was forced to say that phrase.
Then they continued exploring that area, suddenly, Chris felt an obvious magic flows from another direction.
"Hey... Uhm... Did you hear that sound?" said Chris, even more awkward than before.
"What sound?" said Sky although he knows what is mean by Chris but due to the show effect for the live broadcast, he had to pretend to be oblivious.
"It"s from that direction." said Chris while pointing at a direction. And so they headed to the said direction that leads to a closed door.
"It"s locked." said Seito after trying to open the door.
"Hmm... I think I"m able to unlock it." said Sky, then he takes out a piece of iron wire, he pierced it into the keyhole of the door, after several attempts, the door unlocked.
They walk into the room and found that it"s a luxurious old fashioned bedroom, that room is different from outside, everything in it looks clean and neat, the furniture looks new. The whole place doesn"t seem like been abandoned for years.
Seeing this scene in front of them, Seito is uncertain what they should do next for the live broadcast, as the scene in front of them is too creepy to be ignored.
"Chris, should we continue the live broadcast?" Seito ask.
"I have a feeling that Maria gets tricked by his source of information, I doubt if this place is even abandoned." said Chris, still following the flow of the live broadcast.
"But if this place isn"t abandoned, then... We can be considered as an illegal break-in of personal land." said Sky.
"But I really feel that there is something in the house that needs to be discovered." said Chris.
"Then what should we do? Seito?" said Sky.
"Well, let stop this live broadcast and switch back to Maria." said Seito, then the scene switched to Maria"s place, leaving the online audiences in confusion and heated arguments...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ah! d.a.m.n! That"s so fxxking awkward!" said Sky as soon as Seito turn off the live broadcast.
"Mmm... Why the h.e.l.l are we even agree to do this?" said Chris.
"Now you guys finally understand how I felt that time huh?" said Seito.
"Yes, this is a pure torture... Hey! Chris! Any clue about this room?" said Sky.
"Well, this whole place is obviously getting well preserved by a rather strong magic, especially this room." said Chris while touching an old clock on the wall.
"So, this place is indeed another place we are looking for in Enma"s quest?" said Sky while taking the map from Enma.
"Yes, it probably is. However, what I"m concerned about is that, this place is not shown in the Enomoto"s clan distribution... So, I wonder if there are other secrets behind this." said Chris, still examining that clock.
Then "click", Chris successfully turned the pointer of the clock to 12.00. Then, a secret entry with stairs appeared on the floor...

Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
