Summary
In class a phone rings annoying the teacher. Realizing its Kazami Jinai's, the teacher calms down and lets him leave, knowing he is going to his exorcists duties. Before he leaves, his classmates ask him if he will come at the group date after school as there would be lots of girls, and Kazami gets excited, but comments his duties come first and if he becomes popular exorcist, big breasted girls will be coming in flocks.

Kazami fights the yokai, but even thought its a B-Level yokai, it easily defeats Kazami and Rino comes to save him. Kazami recalls there are two ways to become an exorcists: to posses great talent and pass exams or be born in exorcist family like him. While his family is strong exorcist family, he has no talent for it. Heading home, Rino tries to cheer him up, saying that he is working hard, but he feels even more down as she has the habit of one-upping him without realizing. He sees a E-Class Kemora yokai, a harmless one and comments he will show their true strength. He tries to use a Yokai Spell, but Rino stops him, telling him its banned and he has been told billion times to not use it.

Later Kazami feels annoyed as that's the only spell he can use. A yokai gate opens next to him and a beautiful girl falls out. As she is unconcious, he decides to bring her to the police. Meanwhile, Kazami's father is worried that Kazami is late and calls Rino and blames her for seducing him and making him late and reminds her that he must not use the forbidden spell. Rino decides to go looking for him.

Kazami carries the girl, but can't find the police. The girl wakes up and wonders who he is and where is she and gets excited upon learning she is in Japan, commenting that she made it. Kazami then wants to leave, but as welcome ceremony for her arrival, she demands pancakes. He takes her to a place, where she gets super excite she will be eating pancakes. Kazami wonders if she is a person from another country and for thinking that she is a person, she decides to make him minister of hospitality. She makes him take her to karaoke, bowling and arcade.

Later she wonders why he is helping her and wonders if he will do if he knows she is a yokai, but Kazami doesn't care. An A-Rank yokai Single-Eye Uroko appears and grabs the girl wanting to squeeze her to death, but even though he uses all of his strength, he can't crush her. Kazami attacks the Uroko's eye and makes him drop the girl, annoyed that it ruined his date. He tells the girl to run, but the yokai pierces him with his spikes. The Uroko realizes that Kazami is an exorcist, but comments he never fought such weak one before and starts mocking him for how weak he is. Kazami recalls a time where he was also mocked and used the forbidden spell borrowing power from his friend yokai Kawanoshin. He was in trouble for using it and were explain that those who used the spell in the past turned eventually to yokai. As eventually Kawanoshin would take his sould, they killed him. Dying from his wounds, Kazami reaches to the girl and puts his hand inside of her, saying that he will borrow some power from her. He pulls out a bone lance and slightly transform, healing himself. The Uroko attacks him, but Kazami easily defeats it. Kazami thanks the girl and realizes she isn't just some yokai for having such power. The girl reveals she is a yokai known as Gasha Dokuro, an SSS-Class yokai and one of the Yokai Rulers, but he can call her Paira. Kazami is shocked, thinking he may be executed for borrowing power from such yokai. Rino then appears behind him and wonders what Kazami is doing.
