Ep. 22: Raiju Memeriksa Permata dan Memperingatkan Aoi tentang Masa Lalu

The Toads hand over Hourai's Gem Branch but only Raiju can tell if it is genuine and he refuses to. Hideyoshi begs Aoi to cook something for Raiju but Ginji refuses on her behalf and instead sends the Twin chefs, Mai and Kei, to cook for him, but Raiji refuses their food. Aoi and Ginji discuss love. Aoi thinks she may have felt love for her childhood Ayakashi but cannot remember. Aoi becomes tipsy on alcohol and reveals she is annoyed at Odanna because she does not know why he wants to marry her. Raiju approaches Aoi and his intimidating behaviour and control of lightning, which Aoi has a phobia of, causes her to run. Raiju insults her cooking; pointing out that Aoi cannot use food to pacify him as what he wants to eat the most is Aoi herself. He suggests Shiro wanted Aoi to marry Odanna for that very reason, to protect her by making Odanna her guardian. He then tricks her into eating a sweet, as an apology, and reveals the reason for his troublesome behaviour is boredom; nothing has excited him since Shiro. What he really wants is for Aoi to stop him being bored. Aoi runs away and comes across Ranmaru who warns Raiju to leave Aoi alone. Raiju explains that Hourai Gem Branches came from a tree given to the Ayakashi King, but the tree burned down with only a few branches surviving, and after centuries no one knows where most of them are. Ranmaru warns Aoi it was Raiju who ruined the ceremony 300 years ago and to stay away from him. Aoi begins cooking a lot of food with help from Ginji, the twins, Ai and even Chibi so Ranmaru can decide if her food is suitable. Aoi suddenly faints and encounters a dark voice passing on a warning. (Source: Wikipedia)
