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...
On the other hand, Aoi had been living 
as a shut-in and had very little to lose.
.وبالمقابل كانت أوي تعيش حبيسة منزلها وليس لديها الكثير لتخسره
Aoi hingegen lebte zurückgezogen
und hatte wenig zu verlieren.
Por outro lado, Aoi havia se isolado
e tinha muito pouco a perder.
