This episode explores Kuchiha's history, detailing how she and her grandfather were initially worshipped as deities before being feared as cursed figures. It recounts Shamon's meeting with Kuchiha and his agreement to house both her and the inugami. The narrative shifts to a flashback from Kosen, a monk who can see demons. Kosen, who left Shamon for being incompetent before joining Sakagami Shrine, initially viewed Ginshu as a demon due to a curse and attempted to expel him. A tengu, mistaken for a bird by Kosen, communicates with him after Ginshu departs. The story returns to the present, where Shinonome chats with Kosen in the kitchen about his humane treatment of Kuchiha despite her inugami possession.
