Episode Title:
Shadow of Linked Chains
Episode Description:
Matoba brings Takashi to one of the Matoba clan's villas to attend the exorcist meeting. Takashi learns a mask yōkai called "Magatsumen" is controlling people and disguises himself as a shiki in order to test attendees if they have been possessed. By following a strange sound, Takashi finds the culprit behind the Magatsumen possessions and drives said yōkai out. Having found them out, Matoba shoots the Magatsumen with a cursed arrow to exorcise it. Takashi and Madara leave, with Matoba wondering as to how Takashi was able to make a contract with such a mighty daiyōkai as such a connection enables one to maintain and possess even greater spiritual powers. Takashi firmly assures him he does not have a contract but had made a promise to Madara, which he intends to keep.
