Our Tanuki Is Getting Married. Aoi continues running Moonflower with Ai, who has designed a new body for herself. Ranmaru and Hatori arrive on their airship bringing compensation for the discovery of Umi-bouzo's true nature. They also discuss unsettling news about Raiju causing trouble in Youto. Due to his workload Ranmaru is forced to leave, so Aoi advises Ginji to visit Orio-ya soon to see him. Ginji reveals Hideyoshi and Nene plan to get married. At Dr Saraku's request Aoi works on a new bun as a signature souvenir for Tenjin-ya's gift shop. Everyone is upset Kasuga is leaving to get married as she is a daughter of Lord Ieyasu Oodanuki, an Imperial Minister, who has planned for her to marry the new Chief of Hyouri Castle, linking the North-western lands to the Northen lands through marriage. Kasuga is confused why Aoi continues to refuse to marry Odanna despite growing closer to him. Kasuga admits political marriages are common for Tanuki who are weak in body but intelligent and great collectors of information. She is also happy with her future husband, Kiyo, a childhood friend she had a crush on. Aoi worries she doesn't know anything personal about Odanna so she asks him if he was involved with her meeting Ginji when she was a child. Odanna refuses to answer for personal reasons. Aoi feels mild frustration to have learned nothing, not even Odanna's real name as "Odanna" simply means "Master of the House".
