In season 1, episode 24, titled "Assembly of Conjurers," Natsume finds himself in the middle of a gathering of powerful conjurers who have come together to put an end to a rampaging yokai that has been causing chaos in the area. The Hokkaido based conjurers name their group "Waltz of the Winds," and come from all over Japan to put an end to the yokai's reign of terror. The yokai is powerful, strong, and seems to be immune to most of the spells that have been used on it. This is a difficult task for the powerful conjurers, and they are all struggling to find a solution to this problem.
Despite his hesitations to get involved, Natsume gets entangled in the situation when he sees the yokai hurting innocent bystanders. This leads him to seek help from his spirit friends in the hopes of finding a solution to the problem. His friends, including the traditional Japanese god Komainu, come to his aid, and together they investigate the yokai's background and discover its true motives.
Meanwhile, the head of "Waltz of the Winds" seeks Natsume's help as well. He reveals that he is the grandson of a woman whom Reiko wrote a lot to in the past. He was impressed by Natsume's strength in dealing with yokais and hopes that he will be able to help them with their current situation. Even though he is initially hesitant towards getting involved, Natsume agrees to help and thereby gains the respect and loyalty of the powerful conjurers.
As the episode progresses, the situation becomes increasingly dire, and the Yokai becomes more dangerous. But with the assistance of his friends, Natsume is finally able to discover the root of the Yokai's angst and help resolve the issue. The Yokai's tragic backstory touches everyone's hearts, and the episode ends with a feeling of resolution and closure.
