- Momosuke and the Ongyou encounter a traveling performance troupe which includes a samurai who claims to be a Tanuki, a racoon dog that assumes human form. Momosuke speaks with the man and learns that he was originally intended to be the stand in for the Shogun in the vent of his death due to his perpetually poor health and lack of heir. However, this plan abruptly collapsed when a son was born to the Shogunate who could serve as a rightful heir. Thus to save her own life, the mother tried to poisoned Shibaemon. However, the boy switched out the drinks and the mother consumed the poison, cursing her son as it caused Shibaemon to snap and kill his mother. When he joined the troupe, the troupe leader knew of his past deeds but kept him anyway out of sense of sympathy, unaware that Shibaemon killed his granddaughter soon time after as the samurai was driven mad to the point of attacking anything that he sees as an threat to him. During a performance, Momosuke and the Ongyoui force Shibaemon to come to terms with his past as he dies upon being mauled by dogs unleashed by Momosuke, becoming the very animal he pretended to be.
- Momosuke hears the legend of the Katabira Crossroads where some women have died there. However, it would turn out that Genba Sasayama was driven to murder the other women to commit acts of Necrophilia. Though the Ongyo attempted to punish Genba Sasayama by summoning the spirits of his victims, the defiant nobleman refused to accept of doing anything wrong as took his own life. Before the group departs, Nagamimi places the corpse of the actual murderer near Genba's corpse to make it look like that he avenged his wife's death at the cost of his own life.
- As Danjo is about to fire the Flame Lance on his own people, his true identity is revealed as the Ongyou confront him.
- Momosuke encounters a man named Yasaku while investigating the tale of Hakuzōsu, a legendary fox who posed as a monk to tempt a hunter away from killing foxes. It is revealed that the legend is based on Yasaku's love for killing both animals and people. Despite Momosuke's attempts to save the murderer, almost getting killed himself in the process, Yasaku suffers a slow and agonizing death at the hands of the Ongyo.
- Momosuke arrives at a town where a woman named Oyoshi is engaged in an incestuous relationship with her father, a ronin named Matajuro Ishikawa. To enable their relationship to continue, Matajuro murdered his wife and Oyoshi her younger sister. However, Matajuro is executed by the authorities after another murder and Mataichi, Ogin, and Nagamimi make Oyoshi face up to the magnitude of her crimes. At Momosuke's request, Mataichi help Oyoshi's spirit to pass on to the other world with a quick and painless death.
- After arriving in town Momosuke runs into a man and learns of a missing bride, Sirugeiku. On his way to find out more he learns from a wayward priest named Ryojin about a tragic friendship a girl named Tatsuta and strange fires. Now while on the search for answers about the strange fires and the missing Shiragiku, Momosuke gets tangled up in a bizarre tale of jealously and stolen identity and the only answer lies on a missing pinky. When Momosuke notices that the culprit has both her pinkies, he interferes in Mataichi's judgement allowing Shiragiku to get away with the Hermits. Mataichi figures out that Kyogoku Tei was behind this and the Ongyou take their leave from Momosuke.
- Momosuke arrives at Kichibe's Willow Inn, hoping to learn about the fabled Willow Woman who is said to haunt the inn. It is claimed that she possessively desires Kichibe, who is soon to be married, and in her jealousy was responsible for the deaths of the innkeeper's previous wives and children. At the inn Momosuke encounters the Ongyo: Mataichi, Ogin, and Nagamimi. The wedding ceremony for Kichibe and his new wife Yae goes ahead as planned, but afterwards the spiritual trio use their talents to force Kichibe to confront the Willow Woman. It transpires that she is in fact a second persona of Kichibe's, created in response to the burden of his family responsibilities and the worrisome prospect of being discarded once he produces an heir to take over the family business. Kichibe is killed soon after, and Yae gives birth to a son.
- Strange massacres have been occurring at Seven Man Point. Momosuke encounters the man who he thought drowned helping him get to Twin Island, a ronin named Ukon Shinomore. Ukon reveals how he served under a feudal lord named Danjo Kitabayashi until an unspeakable evil plagued his land. But as he journeys with Ukon to the man's homeland, expecting the Ongyou to be there, Momosuke learns a horrific revelation.
- Momosuke responds to a supposed letter from his brother sent to him while at Katabira Crossroads. Gunhachiro calls him over when one of his friends named Kijirou Hamada was found dead after being killed by a stone. Momosuke says it to be a flying squirrel spirit known as a Nobosuma and a badger spirit known as a Nodebo. They later learn from Matashiro that he use to be in a gang called The Bats. Tagami was the boss and they raided Shimaso's house for a gun called the Nodebo that shoots rocks with deadly precision. When Shimaso refuses to give it to them they kill his granddaughter Otami. After telling the story, Matashiro is prosued by the Ongyou. While running from them, he falls off a cliff and impales himself on a tree. Tagami takes Gunhachiro and the rest of the troop out into the forest unaware that a possessed Gehai is killing everyone in sight. Momosuke arrives to watch the internal battle between the Nodebo's hatred and Shimaso's spirit. Afterwards, Mataichi sends the spirits dwelling within the Nodebo to rest. Momosuke then takes Tagami home.
- Hearing about the murderous cutthroat Giamon of Inarizika, rumored to be a Kowai , Momosuke learns of the man's relation to Ogin as she personally confronts the one who murdered her family fifteen years ago.
