From what we know so far, Shinobu Ichi is the spokesperson for the Horai Island side.
As you may know, the original name of the group was <<<<<<<<<<<>, which is the same name as <<<<<<<<<>.

These are the names inscribed on the tombstones that Reiko found, although some of them are unknown to her.
The aggregate of those eight ......, or rather, the aggregate of the magical brains that collected the memories (mementos) of eight people, is .
...... I didn't know that.
Now we finally know the true identity of .
It was a magical brain that inherited the memories and possibly the personality of the of the first generation.
Just before our death, we automatically transferred our < ...... memories and personality to the mage-brain. And we have watched over this planet and our descendants.
............
But 4000 years is too long. After a thousand years, we began to desire a body.
I see.
I see.
"Hmm, I don't even want to imagine."
This was something that even Jin in Horai Island could somewhat understand.
The spirit of the originator could not endure to spend the years of his life as the brain of the magician.

If there was a psychic catalyst?
I'm surprised. I didn't think you knew that much. ...... is right. <
