Reluctantly, hiraoka asks taro and shizuku to stay behind and keep watch over him. He tells them that if the demon is strong enough, it could kidnap momoko and that they should stay safe. Worried that the ghost from earlier is trying to figure out what's going on, they ask taro to keep a close eye on him. Ooh, the ghost of momoko! She's over here, and she's freaking out because she can't figure out where the demon has hidden her aura. She wants to scream, but the ghost won't let her. He's got a message for her: if she doesn't come, he'll "sling" her.
