The tunnel is dangerous, and they must keep the High Priest in check. It is for that reason the trio need reinforcements; they need another Graduate.

A little boy shows Keitaro his drawings as the trio explores an old watergate with a famous spiritualist. To his growing horror, he realizes they are all in imminent danger.

The trio walk a dangerous path fraught with peril. Otogiri will not return to her prison willingly, and the spirit that replaced Nagiko is still out there somewhere.

Children can be cruel, that much is quite clear. Poor Sakashita lost all he held dear. He plays a game now, the rule is right here: don’t let him find you or you’ll disappear.

They now have 7 Graduates, but fighting a god also requires an ambitious, daring plan. With Ai’s time running out, the trio prepare for their next journey; Kyoto awaits.
