The Ogre's Bride

Yuzu dreams of being loved by someone, since her family has always cast her aside.

Reiya brings Yuzu to his home and announces that she is his bride.

Karin returns to her parents' house to collect personal items and finalize her adoption by her grandparents.

As Reiya provides Yuzu with everything she needs, she is reluctant to become too dependent on him.

Yuzu begins working for Reiya and learns more about his relationship with his secretary Takamichi.

While Yuzu puzzles over her feelings for Reiya, Touko explains how she and Nyankichi got together.

Sakurako visits Yuzu and warns her not to get between Reiya and Takamichi.

Yuzu's sister and parents break into her grandparents' house and demand that she come home.

Yuzu confronts Reiya about the rumors she's been hearing.

It's the final day of the Ayakashi gathering. Yuzu visits the venue to formally greet Reiya's parents. Yuzu looks nervous as she meets them, but is surprised by the unexpected gap between their image and reality, though she manages to complete her greetings successfully. Afterward, Yuzu is led by Reiya's father, Chiyo, to the venue to be introduced to the other attendees. However, Karin is also there…

When Yuzu and Karin were still young, their parents doted on the sociable and charming Karin, forcing Yuzu to endure hardship. One day, Karin asked her parents if she could enroll in Kakuriyo Academy. Her parents hesitated due to the high tuition fees, but they enrolled her, hoping that Karin might be chosen as a bride for a yokai. On the day of the entrance ceremony, Yota told her, "You are my bride," and Karin's destiny began to unfold.
