The team begins to suspect that the culprit is a mysterious witch who can steal souls and absorb magical powers from anyone she kills. While searching for clues, one of the team members, Haruto, is attacked by the witch, and his magical powers are stolen.

Desperate to reclaim his powers and catch the killer, Haruto suggests using himself as bait to lure the witch out into the open. The team reluctantly agrees, and they set a trap for the witch. However, things don't go according to plan, and the witch manages to outsmart them. As they regroup, they discover that the witch has been working with another witch, who is now in possession of Haruto's stolen life force.
