An oni captures Kaori, but the Katsuragi clan attempts to trap it during a ceremony. When clan members remove one horn, Kaori suffers intense pain. Suzuka intends to sacrifice Mikan, but the oni escapes the ritual. Itsuki, Honami, Nekoyashiki, and Tatsumi arrive to fight, though Suzuka doubts their success. Itsuki uses Glamsight to guide Honami in restricting the oni's movement while Mikan and Kaori resume the ceremony. The oni stops the ritual using its remaining horn, but Adelicia arrives and has a summoned demon remove it. Mikan and Kaori finish the ritual, causing the oni to disappear. Impressed, Suzuka permits Mikan to return to Astral and asks Itsuki to look after her.
