Summary
The demon Jakotsumaru attacks humans to collect their bones in order to revive his father, the demon Tōkotsu after it was slain by Moroha, who retrieved the Red Rainbow Pearl from his corpse. Once learning of the situation, Kohaku sends Towa and Setsuna to deal with it, eventually meeting Moroha, who intends to retrieve Tōkotsu's head and receive a large reward for it to pay off a debt she owes. Accompanied by Myoga, who reveals Tōkotsu is one of the Four Perils who work for Kirinmaru, the three eventually discover Jakotsumaru's hideout and confront him. Setsuna dismisses Towa as naive when she hesitates to attack Jakotsumaru simply because he looks cute and thinks Moroha apologizing for killing Tōkotsu would be enough to end the conflict, but Towa is eventually convinced to fight Jakotsumaru's skeleton minions. Moroha defeats Jakotsumaru, but Tōkotsu's head attacks her and she uses her secret technique to awaken her demon blood, dealing massive damage on the enemy, but losing consciousness soon after, leaving Towa and Setsuna to deal the finishing blow. With both demons destroyed, their palace vanishes without a trace, leaving no bounties for the three girls as all traces of their bodies vanished as well.
