To undo the spell, they're hunting and killing the Sorcerers in the Hole, hoping that eventually they'll kill the right one.

Many conflicts and incidents arise involving the clientele of the café Anteiku, where Ghouls gather. Yoshimura, the café's owner, is harboring suspicions about a certain someone.
