Its founder and president, Itsuki Iba, along with his skilled team, continues to face supernatural challenges while striving to provide magical services to their clients. In this episode, the team encounters a powerful witch whose oath may determine the fate of many.
The episode opens with Itsuki receiving a distress call from a worried woman named Mikanagi. She explains that her daughter, Kana, has become entangled with a dangerous witch and pleads for Astral's assistance. Concerned for Kana's safety, Itsuki quickly gathers his team, including the beautiful but mysterious ghost girl, Adelicia, the skilled Onmyouji, Ren Nekoyashiki, and the talented Shinto priestess, Honami Takase Ambler. Together, they set out to investigate the situation and put an end to whatever danger awaits Kana.
Arriving at the Mikanagi residence, Astral discovers that the witch haunting Kana is none other than Nekoyashiki's former lover, Mikanagi Mikan. Nekoyashiki reveals that Mikan made an oath with unknown consequences, causing her powers to spiral out of control. As a result, Kana became the unwilling vessel for Mikan's supernatural abilities. Struggling to contain the immense power, Kana's life is now in grave danger.
The Astral team begins their mission with caution, using their combined skills to track down Mikan and hopefully break her dangerous pact. Along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles and face off against various malicious spirits. Mikan, consumed by her own power and guilt, proves to be a formidable adversary. She challenges Nekoyashiki to confront their shared past and face the consequences of their choices.

As the episode progresses, the team discovers that to sever Mikan's connection with Kana, they must uncover the truth behind her oath. Delving deeper into their investigation, they uncover shocking revelations about Mikan's past and the tragic circumstances that led to her fateful pact.
