Synopsis for the episode is as following:
“The body of the ogre was loaded with spit bacteria. The body manipulated by the ability to spit attacks the former comrades. There is no way to fight against the support troops and the wounded who do not have the fighting ability, and the Kyoto branch is in danger of being destroyed. The battle was unfavorable, and Oiranzaka immediately decided to evacuate. The four seasons fight the dead with their friends and help with the evacuation, but they are deeply angry at the situation where they have to kill their dead comrades. Around the same time, in the city of Kyoto, a unit of ogres led by MIDANO was confronting the spit. When Mudano learns of the situation, he tries to return the troops to the Kyoto branch, but is trapped in a huge box created with the ability of the enves.

The story is portrayed as following:
“You inherit the blood of an Oni (demon)…”
The bloodlines of “Oni” and “Momotaro” have been passed down among certain humans for generations. Long ago, the Oni, aware of their own ferocity, lived in seclusion. However, their peace was shattered by an invasion led by Momotaro. Over thousands of years, these two factions formed the “Momotaro Agency” and the “Oni Agency,” respectively, and have been locked in conflict ever since.
The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, suddenly learns of his Oni lineage following an unexpected attack by Momotaro. This revelation sets Shiki on a path to discover the destiny that lies within his blood — a meeting with the Oni dwelling within him.
— A new generation of dark heroics begins here in this tale of demons!”
