When they arrive at Kanazawathey meet Hajime's uncle Heiske and his daughter Fumi Kindaichi. Fumi travels with them to the Madarame residence, known as Butterfly Manor. Madarame introduces his three daughters named after butterflies: Tateha, Ageha and Ruri. During the party, Ruri sees a live Black Butterfly pinned to a wall - a premonition of death. The highlight of the evening is the release of luminous butterflies, meanwhile, Hajime thinks he sees Touno, but he introduces himself as Miyama. The next day, a purple butterfly is pinned to a tree and it has the same design as Ruri's kimono. Hajime searches for Ruri and finds her dead in the garden in an area known as the butterfly's grave.
