ที่พักและอาหารสำหรับภูตพราย ณ ดินแดนคาคุริโยะ

Aoi realizes that she has found a place she can belong to in Tenjin-ya. Then, Orio-ya's air ship suddenly shows up with a long-haired ayakashi on board, who's wearing a white mask that reminds her of the ayakashi in her childhood memory.

After being taken to Orio-ya, Tenjin-ya's rival inn, Aoi is put in a confinement room. Although she is all by herself in a strange place, she decides to escape in order to find out who the ayakashi she met when she was a child was.

At Ginji's suggestion, Aoi now cooks breakfast for Matsuba, who is staying at Orio-ya, and is given permission to use the kitchen in the old building. In the meantime, the light comes on at Moonflower while Aoi and Ginji are gone.

At the tsuru-douji's request, Aoi decides to entertain Yodoko, a spoiled daughter of a rich family who wants to eat an interesting food, by serving monjayaki. Though Yodoko first appears puzzled, she becomes intrigued when the food is cooked before her.

After hearing the explosion from Orio-ya, Aoi rushes back only to find an angered Matsuba and a beat-up Hatori. Matsuba's anger was triggered by Hatori directly asking him for some of the tengu’s secret liquor, one of the items needed for the ceremony.

After Aoi helped the tengu father and son reconcile, Raiju, a noble from the capital, becomes interested in Aoi. Meanwhile, Aoi follows Nobunaga to the back of the pine grove only to find a large silver beast collapsed in front of a crumbling shrine.

Aoi needs to find the mermaid scale, so she goes to the ruins of the dragon palace, a place with a strong curse, with the master. Aoi and the master aren't affected by the miasma, but they get separated when she hears a voice calling her name.

O-Ryo, the former young hostess at Tenjin-ya, comes by Orio-ya as an inn guest. The Orio-ya employees become alarmed at the rival inn employee's arrival. Nene, Orio-ya's young hostess, seems to be especially bothered by O-Ryo's visit.

While Aoi is contemplating the dishes for the ceremony, Raiju, a noble from Youto, suddenly appears before her. Although she runs around trying to get away from him, he follows her around suspiciously and directs his malicious intent towards her.

After drinking the tengu's secret liquor, Aoi suddenly collapses. When she wakes up, she realizes that not only did she lose her voice, but she also lost her sense of taste, and so it was decided that she wouldn't cook the dishes made of ocean treasure.

It turned out that one of the Hourai's gem branches had been kept inside the enclosed space in an ink brush painting belonging to Nuinoin and his wife. With Byakuya's help, Aoi enters the world of the ink brush painting with Ginji, Ranmaru, and Chibi.

After coming back from the world of the ink brush painting, Aoi decides to cook the dishes made of ocean treasure for the second time. On the day of the fireworks event, when Orio-ya is swarming with guests, Tenjin-ya's air ships arrive as well.

The kagura hall is lit up and the ceremony has started. Lured by the smell of cucumber, Chibi goes inside the screen. After hearing his scream, Aoi pulls up the screen only to find out that the umi-bouzu has the same feelings that she had in the past.
