Asumu trails an old man whom he believes has connections to Hibiki after he sees him save a young girl. Elsewhere, Hibiki continues his battle with the Makamou who had been killing people in the forest. After the battle, Hibiki and Kasumi return to Tachibana�s sweet shop, where the Asumu and the old man are.

After a discussion with Hibiki about his plans after middle school, Asumu is reminded that he has no choice but to pass his entrance exam into Jounan, and he resolves to not see Hibiki until he gets in so he can share the good news. Meanwhile, Hibiki heads out after news that one of his comrades was injured in a fight, but can he handle an unfamiliar type of Makamou?

Ibuki, thinking Asumu is Hibiki�s apprentice, takes Asumu to where Hibiki and Kasumi are located. Hibiki and Asumu have a discussion about life and the challenges that everyone faces, leaving Asumu with a renewed passion to do well on his entrance exams. Hibiki then returns to battle the Bakegani that defeated him previously.

Excited over passing his entrance exam for Jounan, Asumu rushes to tell Hibiki the good news but is told he is training at a shrine deep in the mountains. Hinaka tells him how to get there and he sets off by himself. Meanwhile, Ibuki�s apprentice Akira arrives in the mountains and is attacked, forcing Ibuki to transform to fight a flying Makamou.

Spring break has started and Asumu has already gotten off on the wrong foot, having missed going to the movies with his friend. He spends the rest of the day wandering around town and eventually encountering shoplifters. Meanwhile, Hibiki looks to see if his training paid off by taking down an Ooari while Ibuki and Akira track down a Makamou that seems to be a little more than they had suspected.

Asumu continues to wander through town after being a witness to the shoplifting, not really sure of himself and what to do next. Meanwhile, Hibiki and Ibuki team up to take down a very rare Makamou, Otoroshi.

A new school year has started and Asumu enters high school but still has mixed feelings on the path of life he has taken. Through all the aimless wandering he finds himself back at Tachibana�s Sweet Shop, but Hibiki has traveled out to the countryside after a call about people strangely disappearing where he faces off with new armored versions of the Douji and Hime.

Kasumi and Ibuki go clothes-shopping on their day off. After shopping and during their meal, Ibuki sees a Douji and Hime pair in the city and begins his pursuit. Elsewhere, Hitomi is having mixed feelings about Asumu and Akira spending so much time together. After defeating the Douji/Hime pair, Ibuki is attacked by a Makamou that eats his disk animals as he waits for Akira to arrive with his Reppu!

Akira makes her way towards the ever-changing location of the Oonamazu but as she heads towards the battle, a puppet-type Makamou causes her to collapse under a bridge. Meanwhile, Asumu heads to Tachibana�s to drop off his notes and ends up helping Hinaka deal with the influx of customers. Finally, having tracked down the Oonamazu, Ibuki proceeds underground into the sewers to fight it for the final time�

Hibiki takes Todoroki to his mountain training temple to teach him how to play the taiko so that the Oni are better prepared to deal with the summer Makamou, which are resistant to stringed instruments. Unfortunately, the training seems to be too intense for Todoroki, who loses faith. Meanwhile, Asumu is assigned the whistle in his high school�s brass band and is not too pleased with not having the chance to play the drums.
