Ep. 9: Shin and Noi's Past Revealed as Risu Heals and En Targets Nikaido

9

Shin is sedated by Yaku after finding Noi missing, while Caiman and Tanba clash with Baku and Yaku. Fukuyama transforms Yaku into a meat pie, inadvertently saving Shin. Risu infiltrates the Blue Night Festival, freeing Noi from Baku’s chest and triggering her healing magic to restore her body. A flashback details Shin and Noi’s meeting ten years ago, where Noi healed Shin’s rotting arms before he fled. They later became friends, but Noi failed her demon ascension exam to save Shin after he was fatally injured by Baku and Yaku. En then paired them as partners. In the present, Noi renews their contracts before the festival ends. Fujita realizes Ebisu was his applicant, while En identifies Nikaido as the pawn shop attacker and uses a voodoo doll to summon a mushroom familiar from Nikaido’s scar during Vaux’s birthday party.
