A brief synopsis of The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei episode 7

The Mononoke Lecture Logs of Chuzenji-sensei episode 7, titled "A Monster Cat is Here," opens with a mysterious nighttime scene featuring a cat. The next day, Kanna and Atsuko encounter the same cat following them. Unable to keep it themselves, they take it to Atsuko’s home temporarily to prepare it for adoption. While Akihiko's wife, Chizuko, helps, Akihiko remains indifferent.

Kanna overhears Chizuko discussing a missing hand mirror. Kanna also meets Chizuko’s friend Yukie. They clean the cat and afterward, help look for the mirror, but the cat finds it in the end.

Akihiko suspects the cat may be a Kinka-byo, a type of monster that understands human speech and is drawn to shiny objects. Chizuko names it Pomegranate, and the cat becomes part of their household.

Later, Akihiko visits Imagawa’s antique shop, where an acquaintance, Isama, admits to feeling followed after purchasing a secondhand backpack. Akihiko discovers the stalker is Tohko, the original owner, whose ex-husband pawned the item. She had hidden money in the bag, which Isama agrees to return, though he keeps the backpack.

With help from Officer Kiba, the ex-husband is dealt with. Akihiko then admits his true reason for visiting: searching for a replacement bowl for Pomegranate, who refuses to eat from anything else.

In a post-credit scene, Kanna visits Pomegranate and finds Sekiguchi, seeking Akihiko’s advice on a conflict among the children Yukie cares for. A boy named Taro created a new hand gesture in rock-paper-scissors, causing disputes.

Akihiko explains the historical evolution of the game and devises a clever way to integrate Taro’s idea, balancing creativity with acceptance and closing the episode with a thoughtful resolution.
