A client, Youko, says her hands have been "stolen." On her neck are clear marks from where she strangled herself with her own hands. Daddy Eyeball believes it's the work of Te-no-me, but he has some doubts because Te-no-me is a youkai that usually only plays pranks. A string of suspicious deaths begins. Kitaro realizes that all the victims had their hands "stolen" by Te-no-me just like Youko. In the midst of Kitaro's confusion, Nurarihyon appears before him. What could Te-no-me's aim be? And what are Nurarihyon's motives?
Another fertile piece of
the night's darkness has disappeared.
.قطعة خصباء أخرى من ظلام الليل قد اختفت
Und wieder ist ein fruchtbares Stück
der nächtlichen Dunkelheit verschwunden.
Apareció otra pieza fresca
de la oscuridad de la noche.
Ha aparecido otra pieza fresca
de la oscuridad de la noche.
Une autre partie fertile des ténèbres
de la nuit a disparu.
Un'altra delle feconde tenebre della notte 
ha finito per sparire, eh?
Outra parte fértil da escuridão
da noite desapareceu.
Ещё одна частичка ночной тьмы 
окончательно испарилась.
