Ouri resumes his priest training with Takamasa, while Makina is guided by Rika to complete an enkiri inside a cave to rid herself of the rotten rune.

Makina, still succumbing to her bond with Keisei, breaks out of the cave and escapes past Rika's reach. While in the hot springs, Ouri is approached by Makina, demanding to be released from the contract due to his lack of strength. However, Makina is soon restrained by Rika and her Shikabane Hime Saki Amase and then imprisoned. Later on, Takamasa takes Ouri to observe one of his missions to kill a Shikabane.
