10The Fool2016-08-3025 minWhen Ashiya and Abeno smell a yokai on the potatoes Yahiko has been sneaking, they head to the farm where they were grown.

12The Separation2016-09-1325 minAbeno visits the Legislator to inform him that Ashiya is no longer working for the Mononokean.

Abeno suddenly misses him, and with the help of the yokai, he decides to give his idea a try.
