In Episode 6 titled "Fleeting Times," the story revolves around a problem in the spiritual realm. The characters discover that a spring important to the Ayakashi, protected by Ryujin, a dragon deity, has been corrupted. Yukari, a character with ties to Ryujin, reveals that he was once human and became an Ayakashi after being sacrificed to Ryujin. Since the group fails to establish contact with Ryujin, they decide to investigate the spring, which lies at the border between the human and spiritual realms.
Upon arrival, they find that the spring's water has been poisoned, posing a danger to the Ayakashi. Yukari, who is deeply connected to Ryujin, begins to weaken as Ryujin's spiritual powers wane. The group, particularly Himari and Aoi, discuss how to save Yukari and reach out to Ryujin. Himari suggests sacrificing herself, but Aoi strongly opposes this, pointing out the dangers of such an act.
As the situation escalates, Yukari asks Nue, another character, to release him from their contract so he can confront Ryujin directly. Yukari transforms into his true form, unleashing his full power. In this state, Yukari and Himari unintentionally form a psychic connection, causing Himari to experience fragments of Yukari's past life as a human.
Through this connection, Himari learns of Yukari's tragic past, including his role as an assassin and his eventual sacrifice to Ryujin. Yukari confesses that he feels like a failure both as a human and as an Ayakashi and is confused by Ryujin's command to leave the spring and live in the Momochi household.
The climax of the episode involves the group confronting Ryujin, who is revealed to be the source of the contaminated water. It turns out that Ryujin has been cursed, leading to his erratic behavior and the poisoning of the spring. Yukari and the others manage to calm Ryujin, who expresses remorse for his actions and explains that he isolated himself to protect Yukari, wishing for him to find peace in the Momochi household.
The episode concludes with Ryujin ordering Yukari to devote himself to his new master at the Momochi house, while Ryujin returns to his duty of protecting the springs. The characters reaffirm their bonds and return home with a promise to visit Ryujin in the future.
