On her first project with the Shell Tree Company, Hakumei's skills'and patience' are tested on a home unlike any she's ever seen! Carefully researching the techniques employed by the original builder is fundamental to the Shell Tree philosophy, but in the meantime, Hakumei hates to see a client left with a leaky roof! Back at home, Mikochi is dealing with a much tighter schedule, designing and sewing the costume for Conju's upcoming performance. She has so many wonderful ideas, but can she execute them in just one week?!

DO THEY COME WHEN MISFORTUNE CALLS, OR DO THEY BRING MISFORTUNE WITH THEM?Seiji Tohno sometimes sees the people around him as monsters. It’s a curse that has driven him to a life of despair, living out of net cafés with nowhere to call home…but all that changes one twilit evening when he stumbles across a huge European mansion. There, Seiji meets a bewitchingly beautiful boy dressed in a white peony-print kimono who introduces himself as Shiroshi Saijou. This mysterious young man seems to know more about Seiji than he does himself, and before he knows it, Seiji has agreed to become Shiroshi’s part-time assistant. What he doesn’t know, however, is that Shiroshi’s “proxy service†is to consign yokai-possessed sinners to Hell, which will bring Seiji face-to-face with an unimaginable host of horrors!
