18

Reports surface of stores vanishing into sand, prompting Miyu to investigate despite sensing no shinma nearby. Yasuhiko Tachiki has spent thirty years constructing an underground model city. After encountering a familiar priest, Tachiki goes on a rampage and flees underground, where police officers are attacked by a moving Buddha statue. The statue advances toward the mall, forcing shoppers to evacuate. Reiha defeats the statue with a blizzard attack. Miyu reveals that Tachiki’s wife, the shinma Moh-Chi, caused the disappearances. After Miyu banishes Moh-Chi, she discovers the city was intended as a nest for Moh-Chi’s offspring. Despite the shinma’s removal, Tachiki continues his construction work.
