Rentarou's Family vs. Youkai (It's Basically Total Youkai War) (
Summary[]
The members of Rentarou's Family had split into groups of two to search for their beloved but keep having strange encounters with Yokai.
Naddy and Yaku[]
Naddy is shaking in fear at the horror movie aesthetic when they see a floating Japanese-style doll, which shockingly both recognize as something they had when they were young! A yokai girl appears before them asking for it's doll back, but it ends up only giving nostalgia to both Naddy and Yaku as they leave her and tell her to go back home.
Uto and Eira[]
Eira is scared as Uto tries to reason that if supernatural beings did exist, then that would make their existence natural and more like encountering an animal than a ghost, making the college student admire her toughness. However when the noise of a falling light rattles, both girls scream in fear as they come across a statue believing them as sacrifices for souls. Uto straightens up stating that there's a difference between noises and moving objects, the latter being more mundane; while Eira states she can take it out with a kick, making the Yokai scared.
Kusuri and Rin[]
Kusuri is scared as Rin tells her they need to find Rentarou, but Kusuri wants to resort to the "kills-your-senses-forever-and-ever drug"; Rin stops her stating "fear is needed in order to make violence stimulating". A Yokai girl with her bottom half ripped off appears, making Rin more excited making Kusuri drag her away; other gross and gory Yokai appear continuing to make Rin excited and Kusuri even more horrified wanting something less violent.
Mimimi and Meme[]
Meme is scared but Mimimi thinks that ultraviolet lights harming the skin is much scarier than the school at night. The duo come across the Kuchisake-Onna; Meme knows it's tactics: if you say it's pretty, her slit-mouth is revealed, but if you don't, she slices you! Mimimi calls her pretty but states she's prettier, confusing the Kuchisake-Onna long enough that Meme uses the tactic to eliminate it of calling out "Pomade!". Mimimi is confused wondering why Meme wants hair-care product making her vanish out of embarrassment, which scares the Kuchisake-Onna away!
Kurumi and Momiji[]
The two middle schoolers are worried for Rentarou as they encounter a Nuppeppou; Kurumi as frightened but Momiji sees it's eyes like a massive chest wanting to grope it, making the hungry girl pull her away! The duo soon come across the Adzuki-Arai which makes Kurumi hungry and Momiji criticize similar behavior.
Hahari and Kishika[]
Kishika tells the chairwoman she'll cut down any threats as they come across an Ubume, a pregnant Yokai known for abducting babies which Hahari knows about as "an enemy of babies is an enemy of hers". The duo decide to run, but as the Ubume calls out for her baby, Kishika suddenly melts and runs to her, making Hahari try to pretend to be her mother to be able to keep her under control! Hahari and the Ubume fight over Kishika until she starts to cry, leading to a horrific howl as Rentarou rushes crawling on the floor in rage over anyone who harms any of his girlfriends! Hahari and Kishika embrace Rentarou as he states that he passed out from the Yokai, but Kishika's crying woke him up yet he couldn't move, forcing him to crawl on the floor to get to them. He didn't expect another Yokai to be there, but it turns out that it was not a Yokai but the president of Ohananomitsu's Yokai Research Club!
Epilogue[]
The Yokai Research Club were preparing for a haunted house; they were going to split between those playing Yokai and those as the spooked humans, but didn't realize that the Family were the humans instead; there was a confusion in the schedule as Hahari was supposed to have delayed the permission to prepare for this until next week; except it was Mai's duty and she forgot due to her swooning for Mei instead. While Mai cries over Mei's punishment, the club president thanks them for helping them rehearse and the girls thanked them for the strange Yokai they encountered including Rokurokubi, Hitodama, Kuchisake-Onna, and "Turbo Granny", which Rentarou encountered. However, the Yokai Research President states there was no Turbo Granny but Rentarou confirmed he saw it skitter across the floor.
With everyone realizing the truth, they scream in fright echoing through Ohananomitsu High.
