Madame Abigail is found dead !
Her body is lying on the floor. Her eyes are open and fingers are twisted. Obviously, she struggled hard before she died. That monk's skeleton head is placed on her dress edges. Near her left shoulder, the red butterfly is resting .

[ THE EVIL SPIRIT IS FREE . . . ! ! ]

Uncle Resando: "No . . . Why this diaster happened on this house!! mr. Kurihadonur, and so as Cain and Merryweather, since accident happened, please stay in this house for a while."

Cain: "Uncle Resando !?"

Uncle Resando: "NO matter it's the evil spirit or whatever it is, I can't and won't let anything ruin our familyname!"

Cain: "You meant, you don't want The Police to interfere . . . "

Uncle Resando: " This event will be investigated secretely! Before that, no one is allowed to go! Understand?"

Emiru is no longer wearing his black gloves. He knee on his mother's body and tries to touch that red butterfly.

At the same moment, Cain catches Emiru's hand and says: "Emiru, what are you doing? Don't touch it with bare hand! Dangerous element maybe left there as well."

Emiru (gives a 'not care' look): " It's becasue , it's the first time I saw a real dead body!"

Cain (shocked by the cool saying of that child standing in front of him) thinks: Abigail is his real mother . . . This youth . . . (obviously, Cain is surprised by Emiru's ruthlessness to his mother) he then studies the body carefully: No apparent hurts or wonds. . . Or, is it because of heart cramp . . . No . . . This Is . . .

- Emiru is not sad about his mother's dead
Cain finds something in Madame Abigail's body -

= In The North Tower =

Madame Sophia (covers her face with her hands): "Ar... Unfortune finally happened on this family . . . ! This family is finished. . . ", keeps on crying "YOu must be the demon who brings dead with a smiling face. . . "

The 'demon' : "Then, who you are - the one who brought this demon to your room."

Madame Sophia: "Don't say this , please! Don't say this anymore !" Don't make me suffer more, Aliex . . . !"

= In Rukia's room=

Rukia just woke up and she is now sitting on her bed: "I still can't believe . . . I was occupied by the evil spirit . . . and about step-mother's death . . . Is it really true that mother's spirit killed stepmother?"

Cain: "You really think so? You said to Madame Abigail 'The voice which made me suufer was YOU' and 'Therefore, I reincarnated as butterfly' "

Rukia (look downward): " . . . . . . . . . . . . ."

Cain: "Rukia, Madame Toko didn't died accidentally, but she committed suicide, didn't she?"

Rukia (look downward): " . . . . . . . . . . . . ." She finally can't keep the secret, "I will never forget the day that mother turned herself as a large, red flower blosssom in the sky."

the two long sleeves make her looks like a flying butterfly. That's why some old Westerners call Japanese woman as 'Madame Butterfly', okay? >

Little Rukia saw her mother jumped down and fell on the ground with bloods spraying......

Rukia recalls:
At that time, just because of being a Japanese, the relatvies and the upper-class society all isolated my mother. . . And so, she became crazy and was sent to the asylum. And . . . maybe . . . mother hated that after her death, father married stepmother immediately. . . And so she turned into a red butterfly and killed stepmother. . . "

- Rukia tells why her Japanese mother committed suicide -

=Next Moring, in the Garden, Cain is walking around =

A voice upward: "Have any clues, Earl Cain?"

It's Kurihadonru. He is wearing a black cloak , black trousers, but not shirt on. He is playing with his parrot.

Kurihadonru:" Resando is going to ask a private detective to do the investigation. Maybe he will soon even ask a spell wizard to come as well!"

Cain: "Maybe it was not the lost evil spirit which killed, but the swinder who is fond of playing tricks?", holding a piano string and says, "To arise supernatural force, a piano string is needed, don't you think so?"

Kurihadonru looks at Cain and gives a mocking smile.

- Cain knows Kurihadonru's trick -

= In the North Tower =

A tall man smoke his pipe and smile: "It's Interesting!", he continous, " Let me see you, whose name is crused. What you are going to do, Cain! . . . And. . . Show me your look when you find out no one could be saved by you . . . Cain . . . ! "

- Aliex is watching his hated son, Cain thinking -
