Hiroshi agrees with Nemuru instead that Isuzu needs to calm down but is stabbed and killed by Isuzu when she hears him, believing her "prince" has betrayed her.

With a new resolve, he reported Shunichirou's intents to the police. The Kushinada was apparently aware of Shunichirou's presence for sometime, but had not known he had gone this far.

Another day when she went back home during her violin lessons, Kaori was with her as well. Kaori warned Hiroshi that Mana might begin to see him in a different light, that of a man rather than of a brother. Mana's mood swings begin to change and went up and down. One day when Hiroshi came back from school, she was not at home, and was never seen again. Kaori also disappeared without notice and could not be reached. ◇寂寞 [Desolation] (BAD END) Kaori's "move out of town" without notice and without a new forward address has shocked Hiroshi and Mana. Mana, who was so attached to Kaori never talked with anyone outside of the family again. She lived in sadness from that day forth. ◇拉致 [Abduction] (BAD END) Deciding to travel with Mana everytime she visited Kaori out of concern for her wellbeing, Hiroshi was eventually kidnapped by the Ookami while on his way to pick Mana up, who had been monitored in his unchanging actions. For a month, he was imprisoned in a luxurious room, full of magazines and video games to keep him from being bored. He was eventually released and he is reunited with his family.

A few days later, due to his cold, he was staying at the nurse's office. However he needed to use the washroom but the closest one was the staff toilet. Inside, he meets Washiu Miyuki, his (male) homeroom teacher. Miyuki, unable to suppress his impulses, tastes Hiroshi's lips who was disgusted but could not repel his attacker.

However, Hiroshi would not accept the truth that he has become a Kamibito. Troubled, Nemuru asks for him to be transferred to confinement, until he accepts his new identity. Hiroshi would be stuck in confinement, unaccepting of reality. ◇大爆発 [Great Explosion] (BAD END) Though Nemuru and Hiroshi survives Shunichirou's ordeal, and Juuzou rescues them with members of the Ookami, they were tricked and Shunichirou traps them once again.

However, the few minutes was not enough, but Juuzou breaks the glass between and hands him a knife as soon as the truck starts running. Despite that, it was not enough, and to make matters worse, Hiroshi spots Isuzu and Mana out in the streets before them, searching for him.

However, the few minutes was not enough, but Juuzou breaks the glass between and hands him a knife as soon as the truck starts running. Despite that, Hiroshi could only move his legs and his mouth to try to use the clutch and steer the wheel. In the end they narrowly miss smashing into the gas station, though Hiroshi flies face first out the truck from the driver's seat and faces heavy injuries. However, he recovers, and so does Nemuru. Hiroshi will stay in the hospital a little longer. With the fall arriving, his scent is no longer anywhere as strong as during the summer. Nemuru visits him at his hospital bed, and Hiroshi jokes that he really wouldn't minding giving his "mitsu" to Nemuru. ★復習奔流編 [Fukushuu Honryuu Arc] 4 years ago, Sakaki Shunichirou was a different person, with a different name.

Using whatever money he had left, he bought dynamites and set them in specific places, rigging them all up as time bombs. With the last of the gas he had left in his car, he attempts to drive back to Kaori's old home when he was stopped by a police patrol. He was asked to follow them in the patrol car, where he revealed his plans, and comments that in the heavy rain and typhoon weather it would be impossible for Jouga to defend a landslide of that scale. The policemen, hearing that and seeing the timer he revealed in Kaori's lunchbox, attempts to arrest him, but Shunichirou casually comments that it can't be stopped, and that they're too late. His final words were that he regrets not being able to die in Kaori's home. A few seconds later, explosions can be heard, and the whole area of Jouga was swept away. ★愛別離苦編 [Aibetsuriku Arc] This is a retelling of the Oni Dwelling Chapter of the Goshikizuka Arc in Isuzu's perspective with slight variations of plot order. ◇夢の終わり [End of the Dream] (TRUE END) Happens almost exactly the same as the true ending for the Oni Dwelling Chapter. ★折鶴比売命編 [Orizuru Himemiya Mikoto Arc] Nemuru's story arc that depicts another variation of the events in her perspective, exploring her family's past as well as the suffering of the Kamibito. ◇父の火葬 [Father's Cremation] (TRUE END) Nemuru manages to survive the bullet wounds caused by the radicals that were trying to kill Hiroshi. In the end, she was still unsure of what her feelings for him was. As she sat in her hospital room, she wondered if Hiroshi still thought the same of her.

With that in thought, she believed she was saved. ★Include in Arc Retells the Orizuru Himemiya Mikoto Arc in Kushinada Shigetsugu's perspective, revealing his research into the Kamibito's past and his attempt to save the Kamibito race from their impulses and allow them to live within human society without the need to hide. ◇希望 [Hope] (TRUE END) The arc ends abrubtly as Shinetsugu prepares to meet with the man who calls himself Sakaki Shunichirou for a second time, in the hopes that it will lead to the salvation for the Kamibito. ★回答編 [Answer Arc] This arc picks up where the previous arc ends.
