Rikuo and his Night Parade go to the summit of the Forest of Torii. There Awashima picks up a rock and unknown to anyone in the group except Kurotabo is instantly tagged to be spirited away. She lags behind the others and is spirited away by a boy and the Nijunanamen Senju Mukade. Once in the realm of Mukade, Awashima is attacked through the numerous torii scattered around the landscape. She is given a glimmer of hope when Kurotabo pierces Mukade's world but is unable to help any further. Remembering Amezo's advice about dealing with yÅkai who appear to be invincible in their own territories, Awashima is able to defeat Mukade and escape the Forest of The Lost. Hidemoto then arrives and tells the Rikuo and his Night Parade what they have to do to defeat Hagoromo Gitsune. Suddenly, Tsuchigumo appears before the allied forces looking for a challenging foe to fight.
