Ep. 13: Funeral Program for a Contracted Monk

During Keisei’s funeral, head inspector Rinsen Shirae informs Ouri that Keisei ascended to heaven before becoming a Shikabane. Sougen Takamine, Keisei’s first mentor, explains the roles of Shikabane, Shikabane Hime, and Contracted Monks, noting that a Shikabane Hime must kill 108 Shikabane to enter heaven. Despite Rinsen’s advice against it, Ouri resolves to become a Contracted Monk to honor Keisei and protect Makina. He meets Sadahiro and Akira, who knew of his connection to Makina through his past acquaintance with Minai before her destruction. Ouri declares his determination to follow his older brother’s path. The episode features brief scenes from the series interspersed throughout the narrative.
