Hajime and Miyuki receive a telegram saying that their old elementary school-mate, Tsukie Marika gets killed, so they go to the "Whitefox Village" for paying their mates from the "Adventuring 10-men Team" a visit. One of them called Rin says that she found Marika dead wearing a "Fox Mask" with white cloth in her warehouse two months ago, and the telegrams might be tricks from a mate. Everybody goes to a dock where a special kind of lanterns must be put in the water, and they memorize for the dead with the lanterns drifting away to a further place (Kitsunebi Drifting). After the ceremony, two of the mates buy flowers and snacks from the town, however Koutarou doesn't come and accompany with them, but is found as a corpse from a gumboat which the 10 members had used with the "Fox Mask" on his face!
