15화: 아오이가 오리야에서 텐구 장로에게 요리를 하며 감금과 괴롭힘에 직면한다.

Ougan-douji immediately leaves to go to the North West. Aoi is greeted with hostility by Orio-ya's staff and is imprisoned by Ranmaru. Aoi is given a meal by a young boy named Taichi, a Night Sparrow. She finds that Chibi has stowed away in her pocket and he manages to free her by bribing Nobunaga with food in exchange for the key. Ranmaru catches her and reveals he hates humans because he knew her grandfather, Shiro. He reminds Ginji he has to help organise an important firework event. Hideyoshi, a monkey like Ayakashi, tries to return Aoi to her cell but before he can Hatori's father, Matsuba the Tengu Elder appears and, seeing Aoi being mistreated, loses his temper with the staff and flies into a rage, only being calmed when Aoi offers to cook his breakfast. Ranmaru forbids Aoi from using the main kitchen so Ginji takes her to a disused outbuilding with a small kitchen instead. Hatori also helps by bringing equipment he pilfered from the main kitchen. Aoi manages to make Matsuba an excellent seafood breakfast so Ranmaru reluctantly decides she can continue cooking in the outbuilding, but first orders her to thoroughly clean it. Aoi is bullied by Orio-ya's Young Mistress, Nene, who injures Aoi's ankle by tripping her. Aoi refuses to try and return to Tenjin-ya without Ginji. Ranmaru orders Aoi to cook for Matsuba every day until the firework event and steals the crystal hairpin Odanna gave her, threatening to throw it in the ocean if she tries to escape.
