Dakini of the Welcoming Committee: Hozuki talks to Nasubi and Karauri about the Welcoming Committee, a group of demons who extract the soul of a dead human and bring it to the afterlife. They are led by a demon named Dakini who has the ability to sense when someone is about to die and ferried to the dead and back by Kasha. Dakini once roamed the mundane world, finding dead to eat with the nine-tailed fox Daji. This led to a feud with Uka-no-Mitama, a benign goddess associated with the fox and the harvest. Humans began to confuse the two women, causing Mitama's divinity to begin to falter as she was offered human sacrifices.

Curious about the plants in Hell, Hozuki take them to a botanical garden, which has a variety of poisonous and predatory plants used in torture.
