At night, on the east side of Shirakawa Village.
Suddenly, a thatched house caught fire, burning fiercely.
All the gable-roofed thatched houses in Shirakawa Village were built with real thatch and wood, and they are all world cultural heritage sites.
Every thirty to forty years, the thatched roofs of the houses need to be replaced. The whole village will gather together, working cohesively to replace the thatch for each house.
But now, the gable-roofed houses that carry the dreams and heritage of Shirakawa Village are burning rapidly, melting the snow on the roofs into water.
The fire illuminated the entire Shirakawa Village.
Outside the thatched houses, members of the Mysterious Business Department were dragging two adults toward the vehicles outside.
The two people being dragged resisted fiercely, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't break free from the members of the Mysterious Business Department.
