While [Name] tries to calm himself down after seeing the mystery lady, everyone is panicking at the shaking ship covered with fog that appears out of nowhere. "It seems we are trapped in here." The samurai, Sasaki said, looked around as he tried for something to cut. "Oh goodness! Genkei-sama, this is nothing more than someone's idea of a joke, right?" One of the monks, Sougen asked the monk, Genkei, to panic as he was scared to be killed by this mystery attack.

"Remain calm, Sougen. The ayakashi prey on those weak of mind and soul." Oh, is that why that lady suddenly appeared out of nowhere? "This is without a doubt, the Dragon's Triangle! The Ayakashi's Seal!" Genyousai said with confidence. "You said that with confidence. What will happen if not...?" [Name] asked, couldn't help but wonder if the lady from before really had to do with these fogs.

"[Name]."

"What? Oh!"

[Name]'s face lights up as he gazes at the familiar scales he misses. "Mr. Scales!" [Name] calls out happily, putting his hand out for the scales to land.

"E-Eh? Huh? Scales? For what?? To scale the weight or something?" Genyousai asks, wondering why weighing the creature in this kind of situation.

"Oh, this scale is not for weight but for distance."

"Distance? For what?"

"To something not of this Earth," Murasaki answered Genyousai's question causing the other passengers to freak out a bit. But, suddenly the bell on the scale rings, as if the mononoke is near.

Which is correct when something appears from the sky.

Everyone heard the commission and quickly went upstairs, to see a huge weird ship appear from the sky. "It's huge!" Kayo screamed, didn't know whether is in fear or amazed at how huge the ship was. "I-Is this the ghost ship the sailor's ghost commands? I had no idea it was so big!" Genyousai screams in fear and is astonished, at how the story he being telling to everyone is real. Everyone has a bit argue with Murasaki about why he didn't draw his sword of Exorcism but thanks to Kayo who has experience with the sword during Bakeneko's attacks, she backs up the medicine seller of how the sword needs 3 things which are: Form, Truth, and Regret but guess the Form is received when something come out from the ship.

The head of a bird with four eyes and the skeleton of a fish, are a lot. Murasaki tried to claim the Form of Mononoke but the sword didn't respond at all much to everyone's horror. Genyousai thought the idea of the ladle but Murasaki immediately rejected the idea, saying that the thing is not even a request for the ladle; they request for all the passengers to join them.

Of course, not everyone wants to be as one.

Quick with the backup plan, Genyousai tells the owner of the ship to ask for the ashes, to change the salt for the salt is not have a good effect on the ghost ship, have the sea salt all over the ship. But, something is not working at all when all the skeletons barge in. Everyone screams panicking as [Name] brings Satoru closer to him as he moves himself closer to his husband.

"Oh no! It didn't do anything!" Kayo screams in frustration.

Even Genyousai was confused as to why it was not working, only to find out that some objects were also in ashes; which is a rope that was wound up with the logs and the result was, that it would not ward off the dead.
