E5RampageHiroshi revisits the murder scene he witnessed the previous day, remembering Sakaki's revelation about a group of murderers roaming the city. At school, he confronts Nemuru over her cold attitude towards him. Jōga's Vigilance Committee visits Isuzu's home and advises them to relocate until Issei recovers. Isuzu, concerned, talks to her brother, who reassures her that he is alright and apologizes for making her worry. Hiroshi talks to Kaname and tells her about the girl with the scythe, but she believes he is making it up. She then tells him of a legendary demon that sucks its victims' life force from their mouths at night. That evening, Isuzu discovers her brother has run away. Issei attacks Hiroshi, who remembers Kaname's legend and panics when he sees Issei's eyes are glowing red. He runs away, but Issei chases and catches him. Issei's female classmate shows up and he releases Hiroshi, who runs away, and kisses her. The Vigilance Committee arrives, detaining the girl, and Issei flees. He is chased by the cloaked figures and killed by the girl with the scythe. The next morning, Hiroshi is told that Issei transferred, but later in the day Isuzu confides that he was murdered. - Love
E6LoveHiroshi becomes concerned about Isuzu when she skips school, and goes to take her the notes she missed only to be turned away by Isuzu's mother. Later in the evening, Isuzu calls Hiroshi and arranges to meet with him. Meanwhile, the villagers argue about the village's hassaku shortage and how it is affecting the villagers, and one villager, Kasai, suggests killing an unnamed person to eliminate the "problem" altogether. Isuzu takes Hiroshi to the park and confesses her feelings for him, but Hiroshi sees that she is behaving strangely like her brother and attempts to run away. Isuzu corners him, but they are confronted by the girl with the scythe, revealed to be Nemuru. Isuzu attacks Nemuru, but is defeated after a short fight and, taking Hiroshi, runs away. She tells Hiroshi that she is in love with him and is willing to die if she can be with him, but when he hesitates to reply, she admits that she doesn't wish to be killed by Nemuru, who was watching the scene, and jumps off the roof. She is caught and carried away by the masked figures, and Hiroshi tries to follow, but is stopped by Nemuru. Hiroshi angrily confronts Nemuru for an answer as to what is going on, and she tells him to stay away from Isuzu for the time being and then knocks him out. - Loss
E7LossHiroshi awakens in his bed, but realizes what had happened was real when both Isuzu and Nemuru are absent from school. Kaname, concerned over Isuzu's continued absence, contacts Hiroshi and tells him her theory that the Jōga wolves were sentient and could assume human shape. She leaves to conduct further research, but is captured by the Vigilance Committee. Imprisoned, she encounters the girl who Issei kissed. The girl, believing Kaname was like her, tells her that Issei had been executed for breaking the law and that she had become something other than human after he had kissed her. - Demise
E11DemiseThe Vigilance Committee member warns the whole crowd, and as soon as Nemuru hears this she, Isuzu, and her acolytes run upstairs to get to the dam before Sakaki does, taking a shorcut through the forest while Hiroshi and Kanade continue their way upstairs. Nemuru's father arrives at the scene and the Vigilance Committee member shows him the files Sakaki left behind, the same files Shigetsu gave to Sakaki in his guise as the "pharmaceutical company employee". Nemuru's father realizes they had been tricked by Sakaki all along. Sakaki retrieves a revolver from a tree and shoots and injures a security guard once arriving at the dam before opening the gates, almost killing Nemuru and Isuzu, who had just arrived at the foot of the dam. The water floods Jōga, causing massive amounts of destruction and panic among the citizens. Hiroshi and Kanade arrive at the dam, while Isuzu discovers a trail of blood and follows it into the woods. Sakaki shoots her in the leg and threatens to kill her in front of Nemuru so that she experiences the same pain he did. Hiroshi arrives and tries to protect them, but is beaten up by Sakaki. Nemuru offers herself to Sakaki on the condition that he stop his quest for revenge once she is dead, but before he can shoot her Kaori and the other priestesses arrive. Kaori tells Sakaki to shoot her if he wants to end his grudge against Jōga, but Sakaki attempts to shoot Nemuru instead. Kaori takes the shot before grabbing him and jumping into the river below with him. Some time later, Hiroshi concludes that while most of Jōga's human citizens have left, the city is more peaceful, but worries that the peace may not last long. Upon cajouling from Isuzu, Hiroshi begins to call Nemuru by her first name, accepting her into his circle of friends.
