Episode 9 begins with Yoshito and his unit battling a Grotesquerie, during which a treacherous member kills an ally. The unit brings the defeated creature to the "Quack Doctor," who extracts a mystical orb from it—the key to immunity against supernatural abilities. Kazushi analyzes the orb, while Miyo experiences a vision of the past through her Dreamseer power: She sees Usui trying unsuccessfully to persuade Miyo's mother, Sumi, to cooperate, as Sumi finds her happiness with the Saimoris. In the dream, Usui reveals his plan to create a world ruled by Usuba's power and threatens to kill Kiyoka.

Back in reality, Miyo warns of danger, but an attacker transforms into a Grotesquerie using an orb and assaults Hazuki. Miyo flees but is pursued. Meanwhile, Kazushi discovers that the orbs materialize fragments of Grotesqueries, enabling possession. In parallel, Usui exposes an alliance with a minister who seeks to become Prime Minister, while his troops take over the military facility.

At the climax, Kiyoka rescues Miyo from the Grotesquerie's grasp, but Arata seemingly betrays him by shooting him, claiming to act under Usuba's orders. Kiyoka is taken away, leaving Miyo in despair. The episode ends with a symbolic shot of Kiyoka's shattered Shiki-Gami as Usui's power play continues to escalate.
