## Summary

A woman is giving birth. As the second child is about to be born,Yamaha tells her to try and hold it a bit more as the day is dawning and that the children will be rules of Tsugai. The children get born divided by day and night.

Years later, Yuru heads back to the village. Danji sees him and scolds him for going hunting alone as something could happen and he could need help, but Yuru is fine as he believes Sayu-sama will look over him. As they return to the village, Yuru visits granny Yamaha and Danji's mother, who calls Danji to come and help, but he runs away to avoid working. Yamaha tells Yuru that Asa had done her daily duties and he heads to visit her. Yuru tells Asa that he caught a pheasant, but wanted a boar or bear, and that he is worried about the harvest as there haven't been enough rain. Asa wonders if that may cause the villagers to head to the lower lands for work and Yuru states its possible, but he won't be leaving and that's why he became hunter. Danji's mother then tells Yuru that Dera had come and he goes to see him.

Dera, a travelling merchant, exchanges goods from the lower lands with the villagers. As Yuru shows up, Dera knows that he doesn't want anything for himself, but will ask if he brought a souvenir for Asa and hands him one. After done trading, Dera then leaves the village.

Danji comments that it must be nice to be able to leave the village and that whose who left, rarely returns, so he guesses the lower lands must be good. However, Yuru states he doesn't mind living his entire life in the village. Danji suggest that he leaves with his sister and he may even join them, but as he never had seen Asa, he wonders if she exists and the two end up in an argument. The two then hear some noise and wonder if its a dragon. Two helicopters then pass them by and head towards the village. As soldiers come out of them, they start killing the villagers.

Yamaha realizes the ward is broken and they are likely after Yuru, so he tells the villagers to hide him. Yuru and Danji head back towards teh village and Yuru uses his bow to neutralize two soldiers. However, as Yuru realizes they can't beat the helicopters, he then uses a secret passage that leads to main district.

A young girl, Gab, comes down from the helicopter. Using hand gestures, she starts "gobbling" the villagers and killing them one after another, but avoids killing children. She informs the ground forces that she had taken second and third district, but doesn't hear back from them. Meanwhile, Dera had killed the ground forces. He calls Hana and changes their meeting point, guessing that Asa had come.

A woman stands in front of Asa holding bloodied Yamaha, and unleashes a blast, killing Asa. Yuru comes in that moment and the woman reveals, she is Asa, his real sister, and she came for him and to kill everyone else. Dera heads towards the village and sees Gab and a her Tsugai. Gab is surprised he can see it and guesses he killed the ground forces. She attacks him and Dera tries to shoot at the Tsugai, but it doesn't have any effect, so he throws a grenade at Gab and runs away. A shadow comes out of the dead Asa and grabs and holds the woman. Dera arrives in that moment and Yamaha tells him to take Yuru and hide in the lower lands.

Dera and Yuru use the secret passage and ends in front of the Sayu-sama statues. The helicopters are flying over them and they can't continue running. Yuru is confused of all that is happening. Dera gives him a pendant and points him a hole in the ground, telling him to put it there and use Sayu-sama. A moment later, the statue turn to life and take down the helicopters. Gab sees that and guesses that someone's Tsugai appeared. A man and a woman then appear in front of Yuru. The man sees their new master is a kid and wonders if he is easy to control, but the woman tells him that they still need to obey their master. Dera then tells Yuru that those two, are his Tsugai.
