Miyu chances upon Reiha with her talking doll companion Matsukaze at night while visiting the home of a father and his daughter, who leave for the mountains the next morning. As Miyu and Reiha set foot there as well to catch up with them, they are momentarily attacked by leeches before fending them off. The two then find a woman living in a cabin, who offers them her hospitality. The woman reveals herself to Miyu as a shinma, later recognized as En-Jyu, and has already accepted her fate, proving so by showing all her animal friends near a hot spring. However, Miyu and Reiha have figured out ahead of time that this woman had turned the father and daughter into animals when they had stopped by. Miyu is soon able to send En-Jyu back into the darkness as punishment, but this makes all the animals go on a rampage. In response, Reiha freezes all the animals to death.
