Yoshimori tries to improving during his training sessions, to which Shigemori notices how much power he has gained. Later at night, Yoshimori and Tokine pursue a freezing ayakashi known as Hiwatari. After Hiwatari jumps into the indoor pool to freeze the area, Yoshimori uses barriers to break the ice, while Tokine tries to capture it but to no avail. As Hiwatari attacks at full blast, Yoshimori and Tokine combine their strength to create a barrier strong enough to repel the ice back at Hiwatari. The next day, the two strive to become even stronger, as they continue to train on their own.
