熔ける海

たちばなで再会を果たしたヒビキと明日夢。明日夢はヒビキと話すうちに勇気を得て「合格するまではヒビキさんに会わない」一度はそう誓った明日夢だが……。その頃、たちばなに「斬鬼さんが魔化魍にやられた」との報が届く。

Hibiki and Asumu have a talk about the school that Asumu wants to go to. At school, Asumu is told by a teacher that if he fails his entrance test to Jounan, he will have no second chance so he must not fail. Hibiki is then told of a Makamou, called Bakegani, that has been attacking ships and defeated a fellow Oni, Zanki. He goes to fight the Hime, but was overcome by the Bakegani and is forced into the sea.
