One day, when Nanoka passes through the gate of the shopping district where the accident occurred, she gets lost in the Taisho era where demons are rampant. When Nanoka meets Mao, she is told, “You must be a demon.” When Mao tells her this, Nanoka realizes something is wrong with herself. The two of them have been put under the same “curse”!!
