It is soon after revealed that Satsuki's mother was the school principal, and was responsible for sealing a ghost named Amanjaku, who has been released due to the urbanization taking place in the surrounding area. Satsuki's mother left behind a book detailing how to exorcize the ghosts once and for all, but in the process, Amanjaku is sealed within Satsuki's pet cat. Though the group does not want to get involved at first, the danger soon threatens to envelop the town and it is left up to Satsuki (with her friends) to stop the ghosts once and for all and to send Amanjaku to the next life.
