Episode Title:
The Five Guardians.
Episode Description:
At a school stairway, Tamaki trips off a step, but she is caught by Shinji Inukai, who is the fifth Guardian. At the school roof, Tamaki reunites Shinji with Takuma, Mahiro and Yuuichi, though the three give Tamaki a hard time. After the three tell Shinji that Mitsuru Kotokura, a maid who works at the shrine, was depressed after Shinji previously left the village, Shinji reveals that he left the village in order to manifest his powers through training. Back at the shrine, Suguru accompanies Tamaki and Shinji to see Shizuki, who welcomes Shinji back to the village and tests to see if his powers are awakened. The following day at the school roof, Takuma, Mahiro, Yuuichi and Shinji draw straws to determine who would be the first to escort Tamaki home while the others patrol the seal. As Takuma is the one chosen to do so, Tamaki has been having recurring headaches, which sense a presence breaking through the barrier at the first seal ground. There, the five Guardians encounter a group known as the Logos, who are after the Artifacts. When Tamaki arrives to stop both groups, the Logos retreat. The five Guardians thank Tamaki for her help.
