Shikabane Hime: Aka

Synopsis

The Kougon Sect discover from surveillance videos the Seven Stars are in the area, led by Hokuto. As Rika assigns Keisei to pursue the Seven Stars, this gives Makina the resolve to finally have her vengeance against them. Ouri returns to living at the orphanage for the time being since he is unemployed, and Keishi reveals more about his bond with Makina. He had been raised by Makina's parents as a child before moving into the orphanage owned by Riko when he got older. However, after the Seven Stars burned Makina's family alive, he eventually agreed to make a pact to be Makina's Contracted Monk for her to avenge her family. Meanwhile, the plan to destroy the Kougon Sect advances when Ena makes his move and possesses Ouri. Kowaku and Akasha attack Makina and Keisei at the temple grounds. As Akasha retreats after revealing that this frontal assault was a ruse, Keisei goes in hot pursuit and Makina is left at the temple grounds to engage Kowaku. While checking on the safety of the orphans, Keisei is stabbed by the possessed Ouri.
