After approaching Shirasu and removing her pink wig, the prison guard reveals her true identity as Nishiki, one of the remaining members of the Fuma clan.

The next day, as Sōsei agrees to help train Soramaru, Kiiko talks about how Tenka once boasted the rank of commander of the Yamainu Squad during childhood. Sōsei tells Soramaru that the mission of the Yamainu Squad is to find and neutralize the Orochi's vessel, a serpent that possesses a human host in order to become its incarnation. At night during a downpour, Soramaru and Chūtarō pick up veggies in town, while Shirasu, Botan and Ōta learn an overwhelming secret about Tenka.

It turns out that Tenka is the Orochi's vessel and is arrested by the police as a result, much to the shock of Soramaru and Chūtarō. News of this also reaches the Yamainu Squad at their headquarters.
