Synopsis

Along the shore, Ginko waited for passage across the bay when he encountered a man named Shirou, burdened by the loss of his wife under peculiar circumstances. Ginko, showing a keen interest, agreed to hear Shirou's tale – a story of how his wife perished in a writhing mass of sea snakes, shrouded in fog. Later, Ginko returned with knowledge of the Mushi responsible for the unsettling events.
