The Three Princesses is the second episode of Hanyō no Yashahime.

Synopsis

 * New powerful artifacts called the Rainbow Pearls first appears.

Summary
When they were four years old, Towa and Setsuna were playing together in a forest until they get caught in a fire and while trying to rescue her sister, Towa is dragged away by a portal which leaves her stranded in the present. She is found by her half-uncle-in-law and Kagome's younger bother Sōta, who takes her in.

Ten years later, teen Towa is being harassed by some bullies despite changing schools to avoid them, although she easily defeats them in a fight. Back to the past, the Demon Slayers Hisui, Kohaku and Setsuna corner Moroha, mistakening her for a demon that is attacking the locals, until a Mistress Centipede appears and steals the Rainbow Pearls in Moroha and Setsuna's possession. In the present, the bullies return and hold Towa's family hostage, but they flee once hearing the police sirens, unaware that they were just passing by. Suddenly, a portal opens, dragging Setsuna, Moroha and the Mistress Centipede to the present before Towa, who recognizes her sister. Sensing another Rainbow Pearl in Towa's possession, the Mistress Centipede attacks her as well.
