Japanese to Chinese translation by Hinako. Chinese to English translation by me.

This chapter and the next will be introducing the story of the new arc. So expect mostly plotty details.

The basics of this chapter: Sakaki and Nikaidou investigate the death of Gotou which seems to have something to do with the Enma Daio (the ruler of Hell); Ayako and Takaya investigate the mermaid sightings in Shounan

¹ This thing about discovering God's or Heaven's secret is actually a figure of speech, used to describe cases where people just go missing for no reason. It comes from an old belief (Chinese and it seems Japanese as well) that mortals who become familiar with Heaven's secrets or information are whisked away by the Gods, thus their disappearances are unaccountable, because we are not permitted to know those secrets in the first place. ^^
