In the Taisho era, a younger version of Nanaka from eight years prior suddenly appears before her. The cat demon grabs the young Nanaka in its mouth and flies away through the gate of the Gogyo Shopping Street to the Reiwa era. In order to protect the young Nanaka, Mao, in his beast form, sends a guardian shikigami to the present day, but then faints.

Mao and his companions rush to the scene when Tenko is hit by a car driven by Ibaraki Tanehiko, who kidnaps young girls. There, a man named Kuchinawa appears, having been hired by the head of the Ibaraki family. Kuchinawa uses wood-based yin-yang magic, but his true identity is Kamon, Mao's senior disciple.
