A father and son pair of foxes come to pay Kuugen a visit, and ask for her help because their home in the mountains has been destroyed by humans. Kuugen asks Noboru to allow them to stay for a while. As the two lack names, She names the baby fox "Daigoro", and the father by implication is named "Ogami Ittō". Later Ogami helps Kou in her battle against a Clam Spirit who is targeting Tōru. The gatekeepers from Ebisu's shrine show up to claim the clam. It is explained that the clam is on the run from the neighboring area's deity, Mubyōu, from whom it had stolen a treasured artifact. The reward promised by the famously violent Mubyōu for the return of the clam is the spiritual rights to a piece of land. Kuugen and Noboru manage to blackmail the gatekeeper spirits into letting Ogami keep the clam, and thus Ogami gains a home for himself and Daigoro from Mubyōu.

The Akagi District deity, Mubyōu, is looking for the Reverse Circle. She asks for the help of Tōru and Kuugen. Kuugen agrees to help only because Tōru asked her to. Mubyōu said the clam did not know anything except that the clam's partner, a raccoon, knows where it is. After getting Tōru into the Akagi High School, Mubyōu reveals she was told it was in Tōru's head. However, before Mubyōu can open Tōru's head, what seems to be Ogami saves Tōru and takes him to the rooftop. Ogami acts strangely, and Daigoro reveals it is not his father. Kuugen attacks "Ogami" and it changes back into its true form, a raccoon. Noboru finds Ogami unconscious in the school. Tōru realizes the thing around Daigoro is actually the Reverse Circle, but Kuugen cuts him off before he is able to tell Mubyōu. A fight ensues between Mubyōu and Kuugen. Kuugen wins the fight and it appears as though she is about to kill Mubyōu, but Tōru stops her and gives Mubyōu the Reverse Circle.
