Ep. 8: Touko y Koushi descubren los orígenes de los Árboles Humanos y la verdad sobre los demonios de fuego en la Capital.

8

Touko and Koushi head to the Forbidden District, where one of the Tree People leads them to their secret home underneath the Capital. While the Tree People that live in the Capital do not have medicine, they do reveal that the Tree People were artificially created by the Divine Clans to assist the villages out in the wilds. They also reveal to Koushi that fire fiends were also a creation of the Divine Clans, and that humanity's aversion of fire was caused by biological weapons developed by ancient humans. As Touko and Koushi leave, they are attacked by familiars. Akira arrives to protect them, and the familiars are eventually called off by a member of the Divine Clans. Touko formally returns Kanata to Koushi, but he allows her to keep Haijuu's sickle. Touko and Koushi return home where Shouzou finally regains consciousness. Meanwhile, the Tree People muse how the Divine Clans fear the return of the Flickering Flame and the appearance of the Lord of the Fire Hunters, and welcome the Flickering Flame in the hopes that it will destroy both humanity and the Divine Clans.
