In "Dekisoko - Episode 4" titled "Festival of the Returning Spirits," the story takes place in a peaceful village preparing for the annual Festival of the Returning Spirits. During this festival, the villagers dress up as ghosts and dance to welcome the spirits of their ancestors.
The episode begins with the arrival of Béatrice and Alan, who learn about the festival from the villagers. Lise, who accompanies them, inquires about a person seen in silver armor, but the villagers cannot provide any helpful information.
As the story progresses, a character named Noelle introduces a subplot about a ghost in silver armor allegedly haunting a nearby cemetery. This prompts the group to investigate the cemetery, but they find nothing unusual. Meanwhile, Lise has a dream in which she speaks with her uncle Alfred, who advises her to believe in people.
The next day, the village chief invites everyone to the festival. Béatrice, Lise, and Alan discuss the village's unique customs and decide to observe the celebrations rather than participate.
Unexpectedly, Lise encounters Alfred, who reveals that he has been living in hiding and harbors resentment toward the royal family due to perceived injustices. He admits his desire for revenge and claims that Lise and others with special powers are being pursued by the king.
Alfred's true intentions are exposed when he attempts to kill Lise. However, he is stopped by Alan, who intervenes and breaks a spell controlling Alfred. Alfred, realizing his actions were manipulated, explains his past decisions and his absence from royal duties. The episode ends with the village chief unveiling the town's secret—that the dead live peacefully among the living and are controlled by him, a demon, who is swiftly defeated by Alan.
The plot concludes with a preview of the next episode, titled "The Beginning of Madness."
