Episode Title:
Distant Festival Lights
Episode Description:
Tanuma invites his friends to an inn run by his relatives. While sweeping outside, Tanuma is greeted by an old woman named Ito. Takashi learns Ito is a yōkai serving the Mizunagi shrine by protecting the mountain festival. Ito has come into the inn because another yōkai has stolen the festival's white mask and has disguised itself as an inn guest. Takashi finds the yōkai who stole the mask for the festival's spiritual power, and Ito exorcises her. Ito warns Takashi to keep her identity a secret until after the festival is over so she can complete the festival. Takashi assures her that he will tell no one she is a yōkai so she can stay in the town as long as she wishes.
