Kotoko receives a request for help from a giant snake, who is the guardian spirit of Tsukuna Swamp. It appears that a murderer named Tanio Aoi disposed of a body in the snake’s swamp, but there’s something that’s just not sitting right with the snake. After learning about Kuro’s powers, Kotoko asks Kuro to accompany her on this journey, but Kuro declines for a certain reason...
Though, even when they 
did pray to me for rain,
،لكن مع أنّهم كانوا يدعونني من أجل المطر
Aber auch wenn
sie dafür beteten,
Aunque, incluso si oran por la lluvia,
Pero aunque recen por lluvia,
et même si c’était le cas,
Ma se pure mi venisse fatta una simile richiesta,
Mas mesmo quando oravam
a mim pedindo chuva,
И пусть молитвы мне воздавали,
