In Episode 3 titled ‚Hometown‘, Rin and Yukio are tasked with finding their missing mentor Shura Kirigakure. Mephisto informs them that Shura’s last known location was Hachinohe Station in Aomori Prefecture and that she has been absent without permission for two days. Concerned for her safety, the brothers set out to search for her.
When they arrive at Lake Towada, they stay at a local inn, where tensions arise between the siblings. Rin notices Yukio’s mysterious behavior and dangerous training practices but decides not to press him and instead offers his help. As they continue their search, they learn about the "Baba Yaga Incident" that occurred 18 years ago at Towada Shrine, where Shura was rescued as a child by Shiro Fujimoto.
Meanwhile, Shura confronts her past at the shrine. She reveals that she is bound by a deadly pact made by her ancestor Tatsuko Kirigakure with the demon Hachirotaro Okami, a powerful hydra sealed in Lake Towada. The pact demands that every female descendant must either bear a child before turning 30 or die to ensure the continuation of Tatsuko’s lineage and bind Hachiro’s power to their bloodline. Shura refuses to comply with this obligation, leading to a confrontation with Hachiro and his servants.
Rin and Yukio discover Shura’s predicament and are determined to help her break free from the curse. Despite knowing Hachiro’s immense regenerative abilities and the risks involved, they prepare to confront him. The episode ends with the brothers sensing Hachiro’s eerie presence, setting the stage for an impending battle to save Shura and dissolve the deadly pact.
