Yorie knew much about Reiko, but now lived a peaceful life with her only son, Mukuo. Being with this family was comforting for Natsume, but apparently a mysterious Yokai has been lurking in their town.

When Nyanko Sensei eats a fruit that is somehow shaped like himself, he suddenly splits into three!
