As Yoshimori and Tokine start to investigate, they come across a man wearing a confectioner's uniform. But as they approach him, the confectioner's body appears to be possessed by a ghost. The ghost introduces itself as Kinka, a former confectioner who couldn't keep up with the changing times, and became a ghost after passing away from overworking.
Kinka reveals that he possesses people to create cakes using their baking skills, but only if they have a sincere love for cakes. Kinka then starts to create cakes that cause people to become addicted, using his ghost powers to add a dangerous touch to the confectioner's creations.
As the town's residents continue to buy sweets from the possessed confectioner, they fall under the spell of the ghost and become manic, acting erratically, and putting themselves and others in danger.

Yoshimori and Tokine confront Kinka, but the ghost disappears, leaving behind his victims. Unsure of how to stop Kinka, the kekkaishi get help from Yoshimori's grandfather. Together, they devise a plan to capture Kinka by creating a cake so sweet it will lure him in. Once Kinka is trapped, they work together to exorcise the ghost from the confectioner's body.
After the ordeal, the confectioner is relieved to be free from Kinka's possession and apologizes to everyone for the trouble he caused. Yoshimori and Tokine are satisfied with their work, knowing that they've protected their town from yet another dangerous spirit.
