Vermin

An old homeless woman is possessed by a Horror, while the Makai Knight Crow investigates the destroyed slate and finds evidence that a Makai Priest was responsible for it. Back at the Saezima estate, Mayuri is introduced to Gonza and explains to Raiga that one among the nine Horrors that were sealed in the slate carry the seed of Eyrith. Once it sprouts, it will allow Messiah to appear in the human world once more. She also claims that Eyrith's seed should sprout in around 100 days and it must be sealed before it happens. Once summoned by the new watchdog, Raiga is informed that the Horror Exta has appeared and she orders him to bring it down. Once Raiga and Mayuri finally reach the Horror, Mayuri reveals that Exta does not contain Eyrith's seed, when Crow appears to confront it as well. Impolite with Raiga at first, Crow adops a more humble attitude once realizing that he is the current Garo and reveals that he is also investigating the incident with the slate, as it ocurred within his jurisdiction. Once tracking Exta thanks to a special shuriken Crow threw at her, the three confront the Horror when Crow is knocked afar, but decides to leave it to Raiga instead of helping him further. The Golden Knight manages to defeat Exta nonetheless, allowing Mayuri to seal its remains.
