Back at the present Fujiyama. Fujiyama smiled, remembering that all while looking at Yukari. Seeing her father, Yukari became slightly awkward. Fujiyama resumed talking
“I know that you will definitely investigate my whereabouts, so I purposely left a clue about this place, in the hope that I can meet you all without being suspected by Tower Corp.”
Makoto appeared to have realized something.
“So that's why the lead you left was a little weird….”
Shu’s expression turned serious.
“So, let me made something clear here, what do you mean Flame Crow hunts Yokai mediums?”
Fujiyama smiled
“For now, that's all I can say.”
Shu’s expression turned astonished. Yukari didn't appear to agree with this; she walked up to Fujiyama with a serious expression.
“I can't just let Dad be.”
Fujiyama smiled
“I know you're worried about me, but for now your actions and the others will only get in my way.”
Fujiyama looked at them all.
“But you all don't have to worry, if I need your help, I'll be sure to let you all know right away, and that's probably something for sure. Because that being said… the Flame Crow won't be able to stand against them.”
Shu and Makoto's expressions turned serious, Ken's expression turned curious, and Yukari's expression turned worried. Shu looked annoyed again.
“Well, it can't be helped, I can only trust you.”
Fujiyama smiled and nodded. Fujiyama looked at Makoto and Ken, then bowed respectfully without saying a word. Seeing that, Makoto and Ken also said nothing and also bowed respectfully. Fujiyama walked up to Yukari, who still looked worried.
"You can go now Yukari, I'll be back when it's time, and I'll tell you everything."
Yukari's expression turned gloomy; she then nodded
"Okay, I understand. I'm waiting to hear from you Dad.”
Fujiyama smiled and nodded; they hugged each other for a while as if they hadn't seen each other in a long time. Ken appeared to realize something; his expression turned astonished.
“But the crow Yokai chased and was about to attack us.”
Fujiyama looked to feel guilty.
“At that time, he did not recognize you all as my relatives and close people, if he knew, he definitely wouldn't attack you guys.”
Fujiyama looked at the crow Yokai; he looked back at Fujiyama while shaking his head. Fujiyama resumed talking.
“So, that is because I did not tell him about you all, forgive me.”
Fujiyama bowed in sorry. Seeing Fujiyama, the others became reluctant. Ken replied
“It's okay uncle, we don't blame your situation.”
The others also agreed to that. Fujiyama raised his head again and smiled at Ken. Makoto’s expression turned curious.
"In a secret hangar inside the dam, we found something about G.O.DS, does it have anything to do with Tower Corp?"
Fujiyama's expression turned serious
"It's best if you don't talk about it yet, I'm still investigating it."
Makoto's expression turned surprised. Fujiyama looked at Makoto sharply, hinting at something. Makoto's expression turned slightly awkward, then nodded. Fujiyama looked at Shinra and smiled, making him a little surprised

"It's been a long time since we met each other Shinra."
Shinra's expression turned astonished
"Have we met before?"
Fujiyama smiled
"Of course, we've met several times in premonition dreams."
Shinra still couldn't remember Fujiyama; his expression turned confused. Fujiyama resumed talking
“It's natural for you to forget the event inside the premonition dreams.”
Shinra nodded. On the other hand, Shu appeared to have realized something. Shu thought.
“So that's why Shinra doesn't remember Fujiyama...”
The others watched them curiously.
Sometime later, the giant crow Yokai on top of the dam looks alert; he hears a call from a device installed close to his ear like a toolbox. Someone's voice was heard with a disguised tone.
"Why haven't you getting rid of the intruders?"
The person on the call said that as if he knew what was happening there. The crow Yokai answered.
"Don't worry, we are in some kind of negotiation, the intruder seems to have important matters."
Hearing Crow Yokai immediately caught the attention of Fujiyama and the others. Fujiyama appeared to have realized something; his expression turned serious.
Elsewhere, in a spacious dim room, almost like a hall with a ceiling decorated with classic carvings, a man wearing a black suit and loafers was sitting behind his desk in front of a large screen hanging from the ceiling of this room that resembled a projector screen. The screen showed a satellite video recording the area where Fujiyama, Makoto, Shu, Ken, Yukari, and their Yokais are, along with most of the area around the dam. But everything was recorded from a distance that was still quite far, so it was not clear who the people were on top of the dam, so this man didn't have much of a reaction.
“I didn't know the Flame Crow was easy to negotiate with.”
Back to the Crow Yokai perched on top of the dam, his expression turned serious.
“I understand, you don't have to take issue with it."
The call ended. The crow Yokai envelops the communication device in his ear with Yokai's energy to silence it. The crow Yokai glanced at Fujiyama, who was also looking up at him.
"I'm sorry Fujiyama, I can't risk blowing our cover and endangering the Yokais."
Fujiyama took a deep breath and got into a stance, ready to attack with his black spear.
"I also want to apologize, because I will not let you."
The expressions of the others changed to surprise when they saw Fujiyama looking like he was about to start a fight with the crow Yokai, his partner. Fujiyama looked at the others.
“You all prepare to fight, things are going to get even more worse here.”
Shu replied
"What is this Fujiyama, aren't you with the crow Yokai?"
Fujiyama smiled
“Right, it's just that we have different things that are… priority.”
Fujiyama put his fox mask back on. Makoto and the others immediately understood what Fujiyama meant; they immediately got into a stance, ready to attack and defend with their respective Yokai weapons. Shinra and Asanuma also got into a stance, ready to attack with ferocious expressions.
The crow Yokai used his beaks to bite them, they immediately dodged to the right and left, causing the crow Yokai just bit and destroy some part of the bridge leading to the secret door, but the bridge did not collapse because the dam building supported the entire bridge. The crow Yokai spread its wings, then flapped its right wing towards the front of the dam, where a suspension bridge had existed before. The movement of its wings looks relatively slow but produces a strong wind. The strong wind hits Fujiyama and the others and makes them falter, but they manage to maintain their stance. Behind them, the wind had made the river recede. Not stopping there, the crow Yokai flapped his left wings toward behind the dam so the river water was blown away. The reverse flow from the river immediately returned quickly towards the dam, carrying quite strong waves of water. Seeing that, Makoto looked surprised.
“Damn, we have to get off the dam.”
They all ran towards the stairs and immediately climbed them. Only a few seconds later, the waves hit and passed the dam with a strong force, making a waterfall very swift for a moment and submerging the bridge where they were standing earlier. The water flowed swiftly into the shallow river below to create a small tsunami for a moment and hit the fainting centipede Yokai, but it still didn't wake him up. They watched in shock from the direction of the zigzag stairs beside the dam. Only a few seconds earlier, the water could hit them and make them be carried away by the swift water current and fall towards the bottom of the dam.
They kept running up the stairs and arrived at the end of the dam building. They went to where they had first come, in front of an automatic sliding double door that had previously been locked with a password. Shu said
“We better leave this place immediately.”
But before long, the crow Yokai flapped its wings, causing the trees far behind them to sway quite strongly. They stuck their Yokai weapons into the ground to support their bodies which were almost blown away by the strong wind. Luckily, the part of the dam that was still a few meters above them could also become a shield against the wind.
After flapping its wings, the grayish-black smoke that billowed from the crow Yokai's wings formed something like a tall smoke wall quite a distance ahead of Fujiyama and the others, encircling their area and making it impossible for them to escape. Makoto said
“What grayish-black smoke is that? Shall we just pass it?”
Fujiyama replied
"It's better if you don't do that, the grayish black smoke from the crow Yokai's burned wings is his ability. The heat is like volcano cloud and he can control its movements. The crow Yokai makes the grayish black smoke become a kind of wall so we can't escape."
Everyone appeared to pay attention to Fujiyama. The crow Yokai glared at them.
"You think You all can escape from me? If you all surrender now, I will make your death painless.”
Their attention was drawn to the crow Yokai, and all their expressions turned serious. They all looked around them; indeed, there was no other way out. Shu said
“That Yokai really meant what he said?”
Fujiyama's expression turned astonished.
“We can try negotiating with him, follow me.”
They dashed up the zigzag stairs toward the above part of the dam.
