If indeed, Aika was indirectly killed by Kusakabe magic, then it may very well be that Hakaze is the indirect killer, even if in no way, shape or form, did Hakaze ever intend for such an outcome, or even knew Aika to begin with.
Honestly, I'm a bit confused on the whole tracking the killer thing. I thought Hakaze had cast the spell which would lead Mahiro to the killer. And, even though we haven't seen that yellow trail since that episode, I've largely left it alone. But, here, it seems he needs Hakaze back in the "real" world, to show him the killer, which would mean I must have misinterpreted the whole tracking spell that was cast earlier (or it's just a fudge we're supposed to ignore).

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm no longer sure if the reason Mahiro was heading to the tree was because that's where the killer was, or if he was just heading there to "free" Hakaze, so she could show him the killer.

I'd been assuming it was just a happy coincidence that both the trail to the killer and Hakaze's goals were in the same direction, and that the story would take the obvious (assuming there really was a trail, which-again-I'm now confused about whether there ever was) tack of making Hakaze out to be the killer, as the trail ends at her bones, or something equally lol.

After this episode, now I'm totally lost in that regards.

It feels like years since they've been updated, btw.
Also, cake.
