A priest wants Makina to be killed. Makina is currently imprisoned and spirits are eating her rune. Ouri undergoes priest training but gets cut off because of an incident at Makina’s prison.

The shichisei make their grand entrance and a minor fight is held but quickly cut short. Major characters assemble and are re-introduced.

Makina completed an Enkiri to get rid of the rotten rune. Meanwhile, Ouri is continuing training but Makina interrupts Ouri in the hot springs and demands to be released from the contract. She is then captured and put in prison. “Genpaku” Takamasa takes Ouri to observe one of his missions to kill a corpse.

A bit of history about Itsuki and “Genpaku” Takamasa’s early days as a team. Genpaku has to face a friend from four years ago, one that he could not kill back then.

Itsuki fights a corpse and Ouri is shown a side of the shikabane hime he doesn’t know. Rumours are heard that Keisei’s body has turned into a corpse, and Sadahiro is sent to destroy it. Later on, Makina meets with “Keisei’s corpse” but it turns out that it was the shichisei Ena. Ouri and Makina meet with Sadahiro and his shikabane hime in the forest; they all face the body controlling shichisei.

Ouri and Makina fight Ena, one of the Shichisei. Ouri is shown to have a bit of Zadan Jutsu power, having entered the Kougonshuu. Meanwhile, Kagusa gets controlled by Touya, the “balloon monster” shichisei. Ouri and Makina confirm their contract but afterwards, the controlled Kasuga goes into Ouri’s apartment and pushes him down onto the floor.

Inuhiko[?], Ouri’s classmate smacks Kasuga in hopes of getting her back to normal, but Kagusa escapes and Inuhiko tells Ouri that Kasuga loves him. Makina hears of the incidents at school and runs there, and meets Kasuga who manages to trap Makina with the balloon curse and runs away. Ouri catches up with Kasuga who is about to get eaten by her “happiness.” Makina defeats a shichisei but is knocked unconscious by another. Ouri makes an attempt to destroy the happiness monster with a Zadan Jutsu but fails. It is revealed that Ouri is believed to be the child of a corpse.

Kasuga Nozomi dies completely because she did not fulfill the requirements needed to become a shikabane hime. Only girls of a certain age group and under special circumstances can become Shikabane Hime. Makina wakes up in the Shichisei Headquarters and fights Hokuto excitedly. The shichisei reveals some plans and the kougonshuu reveals to Ouri that they believe that he is the child of a corpse. He loses control when he remembers his childhood, and the high priest Gon kicks him out of kougonshuu to relieve him of his job as a contractor priest. A small scuffle over Ouri’s priest friends allows him to escape back to the orphanage. One of the shichisei, Huzuchi, is revealed to be killed by Ouri’s “mother” and has a grudge against Ouri for being the only one left alive.
