Kip. 10: Stars on the Ground
After learning that Minai was destroyed by a member of the Kougon Sect. Keishi rushes out of his hospital room to confront the Gon Dai Sojo, but he is calmed by the Dai Sojo. Nozomi shows Ouri a magazine article featuring a cult with followers that regenerate after being burned alive. Under the belief that it is related to the Shikabane, Ouri attends the cult's meeting, but is not impressed. The cult's founder Ooyatsuka is confronted and then killed by a powerful group of Shikabane known as the Seven Stars. The traitor monk Akasha allies himself with the Seven Stars to plot the total destruction of his former comrades at the Kougon Sect. Meanwhile, Keisei identifies the Contracted Monk who destroyed Minai as Sadahiro Mibu, Ouri's manager at the bar. With their cover blown, Sadahiro and his Shikabane Hime named Akira Tōoka abandon the bar, leaving Ouri unemployed. Makina has flashbacks of the Seven Stars, suggesting she was assaulted and killed by them. (Source: Wikipedia)
