Suzu makes Suzu-dumplings, trying to become friends with Shirogane. Matsuri sees her and reminisces about the times he admired her for her ability to befriend ayakashi. That's when they get a visit from the Lightning-Fast Exorcist Ninja, Ninokuru Souga.

Matsuri does his best to fit in as one of Suzu's girl friends, but he doesn't know how to act around Yayoi and Lucy. Yayoi, in turn, wants to get to know Matsuri better too, but she keeps tripping and getting up close and personal, which complciates matters. She believes Matsuri despises her now, but the cause was actually an ayakashi!

The Suzu that showed up in Matsuri's room was actually an omokage shadow, a cloning ayakashi. What's more, it's still wandering around somewhere, which poses a real threat to Suzu's life. Matsuri and Shirogane frantically scour the town for it.

Lucy shows Matsuri and Suzu a photo she took, which seems to be a spirit photo! Captured in it is an "Ikon" a cluster of human resentment, which then proceeds to possess Lucy herself. Matsuri must find a way to exorcise the ayakashi and protect her!
