In Episode 2, Mu-chan worries about her fading memories of her father. The episode shifts to a barbecue in Yuri's garden, where Buchio, a Nekomata, interacts with various humans and yokai, including Tanaka, Yasu, and Betobeto-san. Betobeto-san surprises Buchio with the revelation that Jiro is older than he looks.

Buchio discusses with Jiro and Betobeto-san his existential purpose, which suggests he has yet to discover his true essence. Buchio confesses his gratitude toward his family, and Betobeto-san encourages him to share that gratitude with them.

At the local school, yokai and human children learn together. Nakagawa, a Kappa, falls in love with Ryo, which embarrasses her and causes her to faint whenever she's near him. Her friends encourage her to confess her feelings during the school sports festival.

Meanwhile, Jiro investigates a mysterious apparition in the forest. Despite Jiro's warnings, Mu-chan follows him and encounters a snake-like yokai that tries to make her break a protective Shimenawa. Jiro intervenes and saves her, though she later cannot remember the incident.

Buchio struggles with the art of transformation. A conversation about family unsettles Yuri, but Tanaka manages to smooth things over, and Yuri later apologizes to Buchio.

The episode ends with the school's athletic competition, where mystical enhancements by the teachers cause excitement. Mu-chan wins her race with Jiro's help. When she thanks him for his protection after the race, he seems distant. The episode concludes with a conversation between Mu-chan and Betobeto-san about the nature of the Void, a dark force that can consume people, which Betobeto-san warns her to be cautious of.
