A novice vampire hunter of the tanuki race named Shigara goes to the mansion and attacks Hime, mistakenly believing her to be a vampire. Before Hime tells him to leave, Shigara explains that he became a vampire hunter in order to feed his family. When Shigara finds Zeppeli at his home, he fails to ward off Zeppeli. After Shigara is chased outside by Sanagida, Zeppeli suggests that Shigara should hunt Reiri down instead. Although Shigara tries to concentrate on his mission, he is distracted by doing good deeds for people throughout the day. At night, Reiri attacks Zeppeli for telling Shigara where she lives. This catches Zepelli off guard, and enables Shigara to stab him in the back with a wooden stake. Shigara leaves with the joy of his long awaited accomplishment. It is later revealed that Reiri and Zeppeli staged this scenario to finally get Shigara off of their backs.
