After a discussion with Zenko, Abeno and Ashiya head to a shrine where a yokai is rumored to appear, and Ashiya is suddenly possessed by one!
Sasa the yokai has been trapped inside a tiny shrine for many years by a golden-eyed and golden-haired human with the ability to use his "influence," which allowed him to overpower the strongest of yokai. Sasa reveals their evil intentions when they see Abeno, a human who looks quite similar to the one who robbed them of their freedom. Abeno uses his influence to knock out the possessed Ashiya, but it only increases Sasa's hatred...
Later, Ashiya regains consciousness, but his unusual behavior and cold eyes remind Abeno of another person--
he doesn't remember becoming Ashiya Sakae.
erinnert er sich nicht daran,
Ashiya Sakae geworden zu sein.
il n’a jamais eu conscience
que Sakae Ashiya s’était éveillé en lui.
ele não se lembra de
ter virado Ashiya Sakae.
