Mamezo detects an evil presence within the damaged Shinyuuchi, but Yoshimori still insists on venturing inside to repair it. Tokiko Yukimura gives him a chance to back out, since the danger has increased. Yoshimori refuses to change his mind, explaining that he wants to properly return the Hidagou Lord's umbrella, and asks for everyone's support. Mamezo finally says he wants to go in and investigate as well, which convinces Tokiko to allow it. In preparation for the journey, Yoshimori surrounds his body with a thin Kekkai aura to protect against the dimension's eventual collapse. Tokiko warns him that his job is only to prepare the secondary whole, and that if he encounters an enemy, he should abandon the mission and return at once.
