Ep. 22: Sekiren investigates idol erosion while Itsuki meets Fin Cruda and the city faces dragon seal breach
Sekiren notices a Buddhist idol eroding and patrols the city. Itsuki and Adelicia share a meal, witnessing a boy rescue Genbu, a cat belonging to Nekoyashiki, from a tree. They assist him and return to the Astral mansion, where he introduces himself as Fin Cruda, an Association member monitoring Astral. Fin mentions Association suspicions regarding a taboo violation but departs upon seeing Honami, his former student. Itsuki follows Fin to discuss his Glamsight. After Fin leaves, Itsuki’s Glamsight causes him pain as mist covers the city. Sekiren arrives, reporting that seals on a city dragon are broken. Itsuki, suspecting Fin’s involvement, heads to confront him. Meanwhile, Honami helps Fin summon the dragon, believing it can cure Itsuki’s condition.
