• Yae Kasumi used the Human Path to make a yokai leader answer An Xiu’s questions, revealing that the Nura Clan was a young force led by Nurarihyon and that Hagoromo Gitsune held power in Kyoto.
• An Xiu chose to visit the Nura Clan first, and he, Yae Kasumi, and Meli reached a lively town where yokai gathered openly under the clan’s rules.
• Meli detected a concentrated yokai presence and concealed a restaurant with an illusion, but Nura Rihan sensed the barrier and approached.
• An Xiu told Nura Rihan that they wanted to test his strength, and Nura Rihan attacked the group with his blade.

• An Xiu told Yae Kasumi to pursue Nura Rihan, while the yokai in the street realized their clan leader had been there.

Yae Kasumi defeated Nura Rihan in a battle outside town, using her corrosive power to overcome his Mirror Calm ability. An Xiu had her withdraw the corrosion, leaving Nura Rihan alive but weakened, and he concluded that they had come only to spar.

• An Xiu and Meli followed Yae Kasumi and Nura Rihan out of town to watch their fight.
• Yae Kasumi wounded Nura Rihan, and her corrosive power spread through his body when he tried to counter it with his own yokai power.

• The next morning, An Xiu's group entered Kyoto and sensed Hagoromo Gitsune's powerful demonic aura above the imperial palace.
• At An Xiu's direction, Yae Kasumi released a vast dark-red yokai aura that spread across the sky and confronted the aura over the imperial palace.

An Xiu settled in Kyoto with Kaguya Houraisan, Yae Kasumi, and Meli, while Eirin Yagokoro arrived and agreed to provide intelligence on the era’s great demons. When Hagoromo Gitsune’s forces tracked them down, Yae Kasumi swiftly destroyed the attacking yokai.

• Yae Kasumi released her yokai power above Kyoto, alarming Hagoromo Gitsune and the city’s onmyoji and yokai factions.

• Yae Kasumi killed Hagoromo Gitsune with a strike from Higokumaru, and An Xiu received system rewards for the destruction of her forces.

• After seeing An Xiu’s method, Kaguya clung to him and asked to experience it, and An Xiu agreed.

An Xiu and Kaguya Houraisan planned a covert attack on the Lunar Capital and captured Yukari Yakumo, whose boundary powers could take them there. After An Xiu bound Yukari to his service, she was escorted by the Step-away Maidens and pressured into declaring loyalty as the group prepared for a full-moon journey.

• Kaguya Houraisan agreed with Eirin Yagokoro that the group should find a discreet route to the Lunar Capital rather than attack openly.
• An Xiu proposed using Yukari Yakumo’s boundary powers and reasoned that she might come to Kyoto to investigate the destruction of Hagoromo Gitsune’s forces.
