What?!
You're going out to hunt an evil spirit yourself, Tamako-sama?
Just thought I'd make some extra cash.
A-A 50,000 yen bounty?
A black fox evil spirit?
Yes.
And as luck would have it,
I have the perfect Shinigami Scythe in my shed,
stored away.
Sabato!
He got away!
Heave, ho, heave, ho...
Get back here!
Don't worry, Mother.
I'm just putting this in the pawn shop.
You can take any other scythe, just not that one!
Give me back that extremely high-quality scythe that registers the
first person to remove the packaging and hold it directly as its owner!
Registers the first person to hold it as its owner?
I'mma just touch it so it's mine, then!
My silly son.
I figured something like this might happen, so I set up a security barrier.
I made sure you could never take it.
Shinigami Sakura?!
A 50,000 yen bounty?
It's huge.
A scythe.
Rinne, grab that scythe for me.
Grandma.
Oh, crap.
Sakura-chan.
Mamiya Sakura.
Rokudou-kun.
Tamako-san.
This scythe...
Look out, Mamiya Sakura!
Don't touch that!
You have been registered as my owner.
Oh dear, looks like you got registered.
What's going on, Grandma?
Don't call me Grandma.
Can we not do this now?
Uh, you can have this back.
Yup, this isn't for human girls to have.
Rokudou-kun's dad.
It came back.
That must be a security barrier.
Yeah.
That's why it rejected me, too.
And yet, the scythe accepted Mamiya Sakura as its owner.
Could it be that Mamiya Sakura has the right stuff to be a Shinigami?
Then why did the scythe accept Sakura-sama?
I'm human, you know.
I set up the barrier so that it's triggered when a male touches it.
It's a counter-Sabato measure.
That's it?
So anyway, Sakura-chan, use that scythe for me.
I can't.
But there's nothing I can do about it.
Now that the scythe has accepted you as its owner,
the scythe won't leave your hands until you purify at least seven spirits.
What's going on, Grandma?
I told you to stop that.
It's exactly what it sounds like.
It looks like you're going to have to do some
Shinigami work for a while, Sakura-chan.
Shinigami?
Mamiya Sakura?
There goes a spirit.
Get 'em, Sakura-chan.
He looks kind of evil.
Don't worry, Mamiya Sakura.
I'll have your back.
Thanks, Rokudou-kun.
I hate you...
I hate all women.
Umm...
May I talk to you?
To me?
He's actually pretty timid.
I hate her...
That woman...
My, she's even following her manners and listening to what the spirit has to say.
She must have learned from how you do things, Rinne-sama.
That woman acted like she had feelings for me.
She smiled every time she saw me.
She took my hand every time I left.
10 yen is your change. Thank you, come again.
Ah, it's one of those situations.
But I don't have any regrets about that woman anymore.
Oh, really? Then...
I mean, we're going out now, aren't we?
That's why we're sitting alone together on a bench, right?
You're the one who invited me...
In your dreams.
What good is it if you're the one purifying him by force?
He's way too dangerous for a newbie.
I'll practice.
I'll coach you.
Okay.
I'll leave the rest up to you young ones.
This nuisance is getting out of your way.
You aren't a nuisance, though.
Tamako-sama, could it be that
you're leaving Rinne-sama to take care of Sakura-sama
so that you can go after the 50,000 yen black fox spirit?
Even if you're right...
So he's right.
She admitted it so quickly.
That scythe of yours is perfect for taking down black fox spirits.
It's the Oihagizuki.
The Oihagizuki!
Human
The Oihagizuki is a scythe with a severing feature compatible
with possessive spirits, to remove them from humans.
Human
Severing
Possessed Purified
Normally, in order to purify a spirit once it possesses someone,
I have to spend a whole 20 yen on Separation Incense to smoke them out.
But the Oihagizuki is an excellent product that makes it
possible to do easy purifications without that extra step.
Of course, it can also be used for standard purifications.
Indeed.
If Sakura-chan can learn to use the Oihagizuki well...
Go on...
Who do you think is closer to the 50,000: me, or you two?
Let's go, Mamiya Sakura.
It's training time!
Now his eyes are gleaming.
What's this?
Spirit Attractant?
Spirits everywhere.
Dad.
I'll help you with your purification training.
What's the idea?
You can't get rid of the Oihagizuki until you purify seven spirits, right?
Alrighty, Mamiya Sakura-chan, let's get it done with and hand me the—
How much are you planning to sell it for?
Fifty meowsand.
I want to pass on.
Help me pass on.
Okay.
Line up here, please.
Out of my way!
Hey, Renge-kun!
What, Boss?
I'm busy looking for the black fox.
It's harder than I thought.
Sorry, Rokudou-kun.
It might take a while.
It's all right, Mamiya Sakura.
We just have to start training you.
Okay.
Thanks, Rokudou-kun.
Yay.
I'm actually more happy than anything.
Thanks for waiting, Rokudou-kun.
I brought a packed meal from home.
Mamiya Sakura.
This derelict is one of the best spirit meeting points in the neighborhood.
Any spirits who would like to pass on, please line up here.
Would you help me?
I'm lost.
I just left to do a little shopping at the supermarket,
but it looks like I died halfway there.
Oh, my.
I wanted to get home, but I couldn't find my way.
I've been wandering ever since.
Oh, I did finally find my way back recently.
But then...
But then?
It'd been twenty years already.
My husband had already passed on!
That sounds rough.
All right, go ahead.
Okay.
Swing it really big.
With heart.
With heart.
Swing it down.
Right!
Thank you, dear.
I did it.
Thanks, Rokudou-kun.
That was pretty good.
You have talent, Mamiya Sakura.
All right, let's keep going.
Yes, Coach, I'll do my best.
Good.
Training is tough, but you gotta keep up, Mamiya Sakura.
I have faith in you.
Okay.
Purification training, just the two of us, with a packed meal.
Please let this happy vibe go on forever.
I'm here, too, by the way.
It's the wanted black fox!
The 50,000 yen bounty!
I want to pass on, but there's something bothering me.
