Chapter begins with a explanation: about 5 months ago on a certain plateau of the Kelsea area in France, suddenly a heavy mist of unknown origin appeared. The people nearbu tried to see inside the mist, but no signs of life were nowhere to be found. From this labyrinth frightening monsters have been seen lurking within.
White Joker's think that this maybe work of an Eureka. It's Haijis first mission! Alan and Mira unfortunately can't join him in this mission, but no worries: they say that he will be meeting with other White Joker member "Steel woman". We also get a name, this "Steel Woman" is called Vivi-chan. Alan thinks that he's been on a mission once before with this woman and doesn't want to experience it ever again.
Alan and Mira begin to talk to someone higher up on White Joker, who asks whether Haiji is still a human.
Back to Haiji, he finally gets to meet Viviane Blanchard, whom he will be doing this mission with. She greets them with roses, but Haiji uses his gravity power to pull her down. Reason for this was that Haiji wanted to examine the 'thing' that Viviane was riding on.
Haiji then asks her whether she knows where "steel woman" is and this gets her mad: not "provoking" her enough Haiji also slaps her on the chest saying she has no breasts. Haiji understadably gets punched because of this.
Toriiooji then explains about the witch that is living there apparently being the cause for the mist labyrinth. They walk into a seemingly empty house, until some weird, gloomy character shows up: his name is Nils and he's the resident of this house.After a while he begins to talk about baa-chan, who turns out to be no other than the witch that the white jokers are looking for. Nils says that she secluded herself in that labyrinth.
Haiji uses his powers to rush all of them outside and they arrive at the labyrinth soon. There we see a glimpse of the witch hanging around in some tower...
Comments and predictions
Just as Hungry Joker was starting to look promising, when looking back at couple of last chapters, mangaka decides to introduce us to a very uninteresting character. It doesn't feel like she has any depth and her personality is kind of that I'm not fond of. Altough it was only the first chapter in which she appeared I'm not going to draw any conclusions, but the first impression wasn't any good.
What I'm interested to find out what kind of Eureka this witch is using, story at this point hasn't yet picked up so can't say anything about it just yet.
