Now, Sasshi and Arumi are in a new version of their home that has a vibe very similar to 1930's gangster films, but they both end up working on opposites sides, unintentionally of course. Just like everything else, things aren't always what them seem, especially when it comes to killing.
Episode 7
Flashback! Magical Shopping Arcade Birth
May 16, 200224m
TMDB rating 7.0TMDB
There aren't any wacky themes here. Instead, it's a more somber look at how the magical shopping arcade was born, as told from those that were there some 50 years ago. It doesn't explain what's going on in Arumi and Sasshi's case, however, but it reveals some other important information.

May 23, 200224m
TMDB rating 7.0TMDB
Sasshi thinks that finally he and Arumi might have made it back to their world. That is, until he notices all of the cute high school girls wandering around in droves, and it's at that point he realizes that they have managed to find their way into the real life equivalent of a dating simulation video game. Sasshi of course couldn't be happier, but things aren't so good for Arumi, who has been transformed in a goblin (and is much shorter than she'd like to be), and that's just one of the many things that are infuriating her.
Episode 9
It Cries! The Bush Warbler Heiankyo
May 30, 200224m
TMDB rating 7.0TMDB
Arumi has left Sasshi out of pure frustration; probably because she looks like a goblin and probably due to the fact that she's grown to over 50 feet high, but that's beside the point. Eutus, however, has agreed to help Sasshi get back home and reveals the truth to him, as well as their karmic connection. He decides to allow Sasshi to become a Onmyou apprentice, but the help he's going to receive from Eutus is going to be more than minimal.
