第6話: Toukoがtombwhaleに懇願し、KoushiがRorokuと共にCapitalで狩りを行う

6

Touko and her companions see the whale, which Akira explains is the tombwhale, a god of the sea that collects the memories of the dead. Touko pleads with the tombwhale not to take Shouzou, and it apparently listens to her and swims away. At the Capital, Koushi meets Roroku in the forest to accompany him on his hunt. Roroku warns Koushi that the Okibis are not to be trusted, and Koushi finds out that Roroku is able to use skyfire to blind fiends. During the hunt, the come across another group of Fire Hunters who are interrogating a captured Spider. The Spider manages to break free of his bonds and attacks Roroku, forcing him to kill the Spider right in front of a shocked Koushi. Meanwhile, Touko and her group finally reach the capital, where they stay with Shouzou's family as he recovers. The next day, Touko heads out with Kanata to pick up medicine. On the way back, Kanata instead heads for Haijuu's old home, which is now abandoned. When a policeman confronts Touko, she and Kanata flee and end up encountering Kira. (Source: Wikipedia)
