The episode started with Morihito, Nico, Kanshi, and Keigo deciding to travel to Mount Kanhachiya to meet the ancient retainer. As they left, they also invited Nemu to join them, as they were treating the journey as a summer vacation. After reaching the station, they met Miharu, the only son of the Kiryu household.

While they were playing in the river, a Warlock suddenly appeared dressed as a fisherman, trapping them in the water. As later revealed, the man was Ryohei Fuchi, the Water Warlock. As he was trying to abduct Nico, Miharu came and sliced the water magic, freeing her and the others. As the Warlock tried to escape, Wolf stopped him with one punch.

As a last effort to kill Nico, the Warlock attacked with all his might, but Miharu ended up getting stabbed. However, Miharu used Morihito's ogre energy to heal himself and was saved. As Miharu further explains, he and the rest of the Kiryu family are vampires. After the Warlock situation was dealt with, Morihito offered Miharu to come live with them, to which he agreed.
