===== Toé Kurokami =====
After completing the previous three story arcs, the spirit of Rokugami's curse vows revenge on Susuhara. Rokugami speaks to Susuhara, revealing himself to be the divine force behind Susuhara's Divine Tribute Style.
Kurokami feels the spirit of Rokugami's curse beginning to take control of her, however she is able to stave off its influence by continually injuring herself. She makes her way to the Iwaimoto Shrine and plans on trapping herself underneath its ceremonial bell along with the spirit of Rokugami's curse. Susuhara sprints to the shrine and arrives shortly after Kurokami traps herself inside of it. When Susuhara confronts the spirit of Rokugami's curse, it realizes that Rokugami himself is behind Susuhara's power. Reluctantly, the spirit of Rokugami's curse allows Susuhara to destroy the bell using his Divine Tribute Style. After using the extent of his power to break the bell, Susuhara collapses and dies. Kurokami weeps over his body and Rokugami allows Kurokami to make one wish, though said wish cannot include bringing Susuhara back from the dead. After regaining some composure, Kurokami wishes for the existence of another reality wherein [[Mutsu]] managed to save [[Suzunome]].
In the alternate reality, Mutsu successfully saves Suzunome. The villagers, realizing that Mutsu carried the wrath of a god with him, submit to the punishment Rokugami laid out for them and continue the rest of their lives in penance. The village falls to relative ruin and the villagers continue their lives near-poverty. After seven years, the curse ends and the village returns to its prior state. Suzunome marries Mutsu and the pair have several children. As a reward for leading the villagers through their punishment, the spirit of Rokugami's curse offers Mutsu and Suzunome a wish. Mutsu, realizing his ability to save Suzunome was a gift originating from another realm, wishes for the source of their success to find her own happiness.
In the modern reality, Susuhara's funeral is attended by his family and the entirety of the LCSC. Before his casket is closed, Susuhara returns to life.
