While the council members are away, the cat demon will play!
The Matabi Academy student council (and their cats) are on high alert: Spirit Beasts could be possessing students and hiding among the student body, waiting to make a move! Amidst all this tension, Yumi (with Kansuke in tow) decides to unwind at a dorm slumber party with some friends and a good scary story. But when an actual ghostly encounter cuts the party short, Yumi wanders off the school grounds…and right into the maw of another Spirit Beast, Daraku of the Deep! To make matters worse, she’s not the only student council member to take the bait, and with the school practically defenseless, the evil cat demon, Kaen, is about to strike on their home turf!!

The fur will fly as the battle frenzy above Matabi Academy ensues!
As the skies over Matabi Academy are rent apart and a pathway to the heart of the barrier of Futakago is opened, Kaen and the Spirit Beasts set upon the Princess and Shirayuki to exact their long-anticipated vengeance! While Kamio and Yamamoto fly to the princess’s defense, the Matabi Academy student council pairs left behind prepare for the inevitable battle that lies before (and above) them. And both Yumi and Kansuke have no choice but to face the truth of their mutual past — and their doubts and fears — head-on in order to be effective players in the fight for Akifuji-senpai’s soul, the safety of the campus, and the survival of all mankind!
