Episode Title:
About the Master Innkeeper.
Episode Description:
Raiju reveals Odanna escaped prison, so he intends to have Odanna captured and judged in public to ensure he is sealed away forever. Sasuke and Byakuya rescue Aoi, causing Raiju to reveal Odanna is an Ogre-devil, a universally despised species. Byakuya teleports them safely to Silhouette, a watch-maker's shop owned by Shimon, Dr Saraku's brother. Byakuya reveals 500 years ago the Ogre Kingdom was a hellish place. Tenjin Castle was built as a prison for Odanna until Ougon-doji set him free. Odanna was still just a child and possessed a dignified, pure soul. Almost as if reacting to his purity the Ogre Kingdom was transformed into a green, water filled paradise, so Ougon-doji turned the castle into the Tenjin-ya inn and made Odanna the Master Inkeeper. Odanna hired Byakuya and Saraku as his first employees and made Tenjin-ya prosperous. Unfortunately, a past Emperor was murdered by an Ogre-devil, leading to a tradition of sealing them away. As ruler, the Emperor must have Odanna sealed, even though he has committed no crime. His fate will be decided at the Hachiyo Meeting where he will require at least 5 votes to be reinstated as Tenjin-ya's master. Aoi decides to somehow find her way to Odanna with the obsidian key. Returning to Tenjin-ya she notices the hairpin given to her by Odanna has bloomed into a Camellia flower. She decides to make sushi for everyone. Ginji admits he has struggled trying to do Odanna's job but Aoi assures him doing what he can is enough to be proud of, making him blush.
