At an utter loss for how to spend their Golden Week vacation, Rui proposes that Hayate Village be visited in order to investigate the legend of a local sorceress wielding the Emahi grass for the purpose of controlling people. Ran receives images from someone in the town of an unresolved injustice. Ran, Rui, and Midori accompany Ran's father and brother to the village. Once there, strange things happen such as villagers coming to attack Ran, Rui and Midori. As Ran and Rui are out looking for more clues, Midori stays behind. A man comes by looking for Ronpei's (Ran's father) friend Takizawa, but he's out with Ran and the others. Ran continues to hear voices as the man from earlier gets into a car accident not far from the house. Midori warns Ran to be careful as the village is very dangerous.
