The Vice Minister and the Imperial Palace Demon
One night, at the Chief Councilor's banquet, the Vice Minister of Civil Affairs Fujiwara-no-Takamichi meets the dancer Shirin. All of the noblemen are intoxicated by her beautiful figure and graceful performance, though Takamichi alone points a cold stare in the girl's direction.

Meanwhile, Akane, as Priestess, is granted an audience with the Emperor and heads to The Imperial Palace. There, she is shocked to overhear some nobles discussing something truly frightful!

The Night Cry of the Nue
Upon hearing that white-winged vengeful spirits have appeared at the foot of Daimonji Mountain and threatened the people there, Yorihisa remembers the "Nue" he encountered in the mountains of his homeland in his youth.

Akane and the Eight Guardians depart for Daimonji Mountain to drive out the vengeful spirits, but along the way Akane is attacked by an unknown assailant and taken captive!
