Navier does an interview with a local journalist, and she includes a tidbit about overhearing part of Soveishu’s plan to divorce her. Upon reading the ensuing article, Soveishu realizes his mistake and sends a letter to Navier explaining his entire plan, but Navier is unimpressed and declines to come back or participate any further in his schemes. Soveishu decides to have his wedding to Rashta before Navier's in the Western Kingdom to force Heinrey and Navier to attend, but all Navier sees are Rashta’s missteps in maintaining the empire despite all of the advice she had left and instructions on how to continue to keep things running smoothly.

Suzume and Daijin connect from across the bar where Suzume is temporarily staying in Kobe, and Daijin playfully leads Suzume out to the next breach: a worm escaping from an abandoned amusement park high in the hills above the city. Souta and Suzume give chase, hoping to catch the keystone but also stop the worm from damaging the region. Through the open gate, Suzume glimpses a place Souta explains is the Ever After, a parallel to their world and a space where souls go to when they’ve passed on. Daijin is next on his way to Tokyo, which leads the two back to Souta’s apartment and old journals from generations of Closers that may give clues as to what the menacing cat could be up to.

While the entire nation is gripped by the Olympic marathon, “that thing” appears in the harbor, and its tail damages a vessel. Asa and Mr. Kasuga get the message to take to the skies. Meanwhile, Shota’s family continue to tell him he’s keeping pace with the fastest runners in the marathon, but Shota knows his pace is not keeping up. He doubles back to his house and picks up a bag of temptation that’s has been waiting for him for a few chapters. Shota rides several trains to the beach to contemplate his options and witnesses part of Asa’s heroic deeds, which also means he sees the kaiju she’s fighting against.
Sugimoto and Asirpa are ambushed by a bear cave, which works out to their advantage but leaves them with a motherless cub. Sugimoto wants to raise it, but Asirpa decides to take both of them back to her village. Sugimoto is welcomed, to his surprise given his knowledge of Ainu warring with the Japanese people. He meets Asirpa's grandmother, who conveys to him that she loves Asirpa very much and worries for her safety when she's out on the mountain. Sugimoto returns to the port city of Okaru alone, hoping to shield Asirpa from further danger on this quest for the hidden gold.
Aki and Konosuke are rescued by a doctor who transports them away via a jar to a remote mountain hamlet where Konosuke is finally able to recuperate from his poison wounds, but he doesn’t trust the doctor. Why would this man help them out of the blue? The doctor tells them of his long history into the Tsuchimikado family — he was tasked with training the Onmyoji’s son, Haretake, to control his considerable power, but something seemed wrong in the Tsuchimikado family that left the doctor wanting revenge. In another part of the world, we begin to see why Haretake kidnapped Tsuki in the first place, and why he needs her considerable power.
