Youko was trying to catch some falling leaves. A young man, who happened to walk by, saw that and clapped his hands when Youko managed to catch a leaf. The next day the young man
came to Kantarou for help. His name is Fushimiya Yoshio and he is a dealer in kimono fabric. His store was being harassed by white snakes, causing him to lose workers. He can’t even find someone to do the chores for him. Youko said she was willing to work for him if he paid her. Yoshio was happy to hear that and immediately agreed to hire Youko. She started to work at the Fushimiya house. Yoshio’s father dislikes Youko because he thinks she is after Yoshio’s money. Youko didn’t mind it though. She is okay with it as long as she gets paid for what she does. Yoshio started to like Youko and the feeling seemed mutual. Then one time, when Youko brought Yoshio his dinner, Yoshio gave Youko a present. It was a hairpin he bought for her. Youko was very happy with the present and thanked Yoshio. Then Yoshio’s father suddenly barged into the room. He scolded at Yoshio and asked him if he had taken the meals to the back room yet. Yoshio replied he hasn’t taken the meals to the back room yet. His father told him to hurry up and take care of it. He was afraid “she” will get upset. Youko offered to take the meals to the back room, but when she touched the tray the entire house began to shake. Youko asked Yoshio who was in the back room. He replied that the person in the back room is his mother, though they are not related by blood. Yoshio took the tray to the back room, where his mother was. His mother asked him if he has forgotten that the head of the Fushimiya family is not allowed to get married. If he wants their business to do well, he must listen to her.
The next day Youko saw Yoshio working in his room. She asked him what he was doing. Yoshio was actually thinking of ways to improve their business, because he is losing business partners and customers. People prefer western clothing over Japanese clothing. Yoshio then said to Youko he actually doesn’t need to do anything to keep the business going. God is protecting the business. It doesn’t matter who the head of the house is. It was only coincidence that he was adopted. Yoshio thought everything was fine the way it is, but he doesn’t think that way now. He wants to bring Fushimiya success, by his own power. He feels this way because of Youko.
Outside Yoshio’s room, Youko met Yoshio’s father. He asked her what the meaning is of all this. Youko doesn’t understand what he was saying. Yoshio’s father became mad and told her not to play dumb, because Yoshio won’t be married. Yoshio interrupted their conversation and told his father to stop. It looked like Yoshio’s father wanted to hit him. Youko tried to stop them, but then the house started to shake again. Yoshio’s father told Yoshio to get rid of Youko. He refused and asked Youko to stay with him.
Youko decided to help Yoshio and went home to get a spell. Haruka saw her and asked her why she was helping a human. Youko replied because it was so sad. After Youko placed the spell in Yoshio’s house, the harassing of the white snakes stopped. She also helped Yoshio revive his business, by using the kimono fabric to produce couch covers.
A few days later Yoshio wanted Youko to try on a kimono that has been in his family for generations. It’s the wedding kimono for the head of the Fushimiya. Meanwhile the spell Youko placed started to come off. It came off entirely after Youko tried on the kimono. Then the kimono started to strangle Youko. Yoshio knew who was behind all this and took Youko to his mother. He begged her to save Youko, but she refused. His mother replied that she has been the only bride for the Fushimiya’s for generations. This is something that can’t be changed. She told Yoshio to learn by Youko’s death and swear to her. Yoshio said he will leave the house with Youko and that he doesn’t care about the Fushimiya anymore. His mother became enraged. She turned into a white snake and started to strangle Yoshio. Then Haruka and Kantarou appeared. Haruka attacked the snake, but it had no effect because white snakes can manipulate the clouds and they are the god of water incarnate. Youko didn’t want to see Yoshio suffer and used her hairpin to stab the snake. Kantarou told Haruka to aim at the hairpin, because the hiarpin can transfer Haruka’s attack. Yoshio was happy to see his mother suffer. He even said that all youkai can go to hell. Youko was shocked after she heard that.
The next day Yoshio told Youko he wants to move to Kyoto and start a new life. He wanted Youko to come with him. Youko then asked him if he really dislikes youkai. After he said he did, she told him she can’t go with him because she is a youkai as well.
I dislike this episode. Why? Because it was another filler-episode. Youko is a likable character and I feel sorry for what happened to her, but this isn’t what I want to see. I really want to know what the animators are trying to do. These filler episodes have absolutely nothing to do with the main arc. They are usually very boring and confusing as well. Frankly I don’t even care what happens to Youko, Suzu or Reiko. They are not interesting or funny enough. The next episode seems promising, but I won’t get my hopes up because I don’t want to be disappointed again.
