It was the Sanzo party who wears cloak and sun glasses for disguising. Hakkai even wrote a fake name for them with the same surnames. Gojyo then flirts with Seira and asked her for the night, when Sanzo kicked him as they start fighting. While Goku asked for a meal, when Seira said that she will bring it to their room.

Later in the evening, Seika heard the Sanzo party talking inside their room about their identities. Seika suspected that they are youkai who were attacking woman recently, that’s why, in order for them to hide their identity, they’re dressed like that. Seika immediately reported her to her sister, but Seira didn’t seem that weird to her. Since it ran out of food for the morning, Seira will go buy some groceries for the guest.

Later on, Seira was saved by the Sanzo party, until they finally revealed their true identity. The next day, the villagers prepared a welcome party for the Sanzo party and it is one of the reasons why Sanzo wants to hide their identities. The Sanzo party decided to leave, when Seika stopped Sanzo to let them repay them.

So the Sanzo party decided to stay for a little and accept their hospitality. However, when they knew that the village has never been attack by youkai. They immediately stood up to leave the town and asked the villagers to take a cover since there’s a demonic aura approaching. The villagers got scared and asked Sanzo to defeat the youkais who were coming.

The youkai finally attacked and the Sanzo party seems to be enjoying a little exercise. After the defeating the youkais, Seika was being hostage by another youkai. The Sanzo party acted cool since they don’t even care to Seika. Seika cried for won’t even save her. The youkai grew wings and flew while carrying Seika. The Sanzo party rode on their jeep and followed the youkai. While Seika was being hostage, she saw Sanzo saying something telling her to jump. Seika who is not scared anymore, bite the youkai and jumped. Then Goku extended his nyoibo, leaving him the youkai and Seika was caught by Gojyo.
