Residents of Sakurashin prepare for the annual festival honoring the Seven Pillars, with Akina and Hime serving as representatives for the Hiizumi and Yarizakura families. During the ritual, Hime places the Dragon Spear in a shrine near one of the pillars to pray for the town's safety. Afterward, the group gathers at Akina's office, where they consume alcoholic youkai water and become intoxicated. The following morning, Enjin reveals he has kidnapped Ao. In response, Akina, Hime, Kotoha, and Kyōsuke travel to the shrine to confront him and resolve the situation.
