I'm about to go to the shrine deep within Himuro Mansion, where they say a piece of the true holy mirror is kept. The curse has already left its mark on my four limbs. There's no escaping it. About the only thing left now that I can do is try to reseal the Hell Gate. It's my last hope. I've already found four of the Buddha statues I need to get a piece of the mirror. And I've managed to find an old document that tells of the location of the fifth statue.
"Make observance to the Buddha,
At the base of the large gate,
So that the souls of the piteous maidens,
Can reach up to the heavens."
If all goes well, no one will ever have to read these notes, and I can use them towards the content of my next book. In closing, I would like to thank my assistant and my partner, Tomoe Hirasaka. If it weren't for the words she left with me, I wouldn't have been able to complete this, my final work. If I don't return, please give her a decent burial.

これから私は、御神鏡が納められたと
される、氷室邸奥の神社へ向かう。
呪いにより四肢が縛られ、逃げること
もかなわぬ私にできることは
「壊れた封印を元に戻す」
という、わずかな望みに掛けるしかないからだ。
鏡を手に入れるために必要とされる仏
像は、既に４体まで発見した。
残り一体の場所に関する古文書も発見している。
哀レナル巫女ノ魂ガ
神ノ御前ニ届ク様
大イナル鳥ノ足元ニ
ソノ御仏ヲ奉ラン
上手くいけば、このメモは誰にも読ま
れず、私の次回作のプロットとなるはずだ。
最後に、私の助手であり、パートナー
でもあった平坂巴くんに、感謝の意を表
しておきたい。
彼女の残してくれた言葉がなければ、
私は、この最後の作品を残すことさえ、
できなかっただろう。
もし私が戻っていなければ、彼女を手
厚く葬ってやってほしい。

Note
- There is a possible error in the English translation. Takamine refers to "a piece" of the mirror. In the Japanese text, this is simply, "the (true) Holy Mirror" (御神鏡). In the Japanese text, Takamine knows that the seal associated with the mirror is broken, but may not know that the mirror itself is broken (which may be why Hirasaka's ghost is insistent that Miku "tell him". However, this is possibly contradicted by the guidebook, which states, "Takamine had determined that the only way to be rid of the curse was to return the Holy Mirror, broken into five pieces, to its previous state, and set about doing so with all of his might."[1]
