When he arrives, he finds the knob of the door is electrified and opening the door activates a trap of arrows. Obviously Shao hasn't learned about this world yet.
OPTasuke angrily asks her why she has put the traps at the entrance. Shao casually answers she did it to protect him from "enemies". If he had turned the knob to the left, he could have come in without any trouble. He didn't know the trick. No surprise, because the construction has just been completed. Tasuke tells her there is no need for such traps in this world and to remove them. Shao agrees but it turns out to be too late for an unfortunate postman who has come to deliver a parcel.
The parcel is another one from his father and contains a black wooden pipe. According to his letter, it is Kokutentou [Black Pipe of Heaven] and, if someone with a pure heart looks into it, he can see something in it. Tasuke doesn't believe it; there can't be such unrealistic thing after Shitenrin. Shao comes back from the kitchen with a tray of tea in her hands. As soon as she sees Kokutentou, she recognises it. Tasuke, without waiting further word from Shao, looks into it and mysteriously sees the sun in it. Then a stream of light and a woman come out of it just as Shao did from Shitenrin. The woman is scantly clad and speaks in a rather sexy way.
She introduces herself as Keikou-Nitten [Sun Spirit of Good Fortune] Ruan and asks his name. As she exists to make her master happy, she wants to know what Tasuke's wishes are. She declares that she wouldn't let him go until she gets his answer. Then a casual voice shocks her; "Nice to see you again, Ruan-san". Ruan puts herself into a battling mood. Apparently Shao has always got in her way [Ruan hints it was 1652 years ago when they met last]. Shao tries to calm her down but Ruan casts a spell; "Those who obey Nitten shall exist. Those who disobey Nitten shall perish. Thou, without a will, now wake up!" Ruan gives life into a bookshelf, which starts attacking Shao. But the bookshelf loses its balance and falls over Tasuke. Shao and Ruan have to pull the bookshelf up to save him.
The situation has somewhat calmed down and the three have a chat over tea. Ruan now understands Tasuke is also Shao's master. He wants to know what kind of relation the two girls have. Shao explains him. They both are a spirit. Shugo-Getten is a spirit of the moon to protect her master from misfortune while Keikou-Nitten is one of the sun who grants good fortune to her master. Ever since ancient days, they have devoted themselves to their masters who, despite having a pure heart, had to fight each other because of a different ambition. Shao didn't want to fight against Ruan but both of them had to fulfill their duty first. That's why Ruan doesn't like Shao. Shao smiles to her, "Let's do our best together." But Ruan shows no willingness to be reconciled. Tasuke wisely suspect there will be even more troubles from now on.
That evening, Ruan visits Tasuke's room and wonders how she should make him happy. Tasuke, who pretends to study [his book is upside down], asks her to leave him alone for now. Ruan behaves like a sulking girl and hugs him passionately to put his face between her voluptuous breasts. Tasuke jumps away from her and hits against the closet, which falls now over him. Shao calls Shaki to protect him, which alarms Rishu. But she was too late. Before Rishu can stop Shao, Shaki fires off to destroy the closet and the room. Now Shao realises that she has overdone it again. Tasuke tells her summoning Hoshigami does not solve all the problem. Ruan smiles to herself; if Shao continues to make a mess as she does now, Tasuke will eventually get fed up with her and choose Ruan for his partner.
Eye CatcherNext morning, Ruan bangs the door of Tasuke's room to wake him up. Tasuke refuses to get up as it is Sunday. Ignoring his plea, Ruan comes into the room and opens the curtain, "It's such a fine day". She asks him on what kind of occasions he feels happy. Tasuke cynically replies, "well... when I can sleep peacefully on Sunday morning." Ruan isn't discouraged and declares to sleep with him, which shocks Tasuke enough to get up.
Tasuke comes downstairs where Shao greets him. Ruan also follows him and persistently asks him what his wishes are. Shao is impressed; Ruan is so industrious. But Ruan is busy thinking how to steal a march on Shao.
At the breakfast table, Ruan literally clings to Tasuke to make him say his wishes. He cannot think of any as he is content with his life now. Ruan pretends as if his answer has deeply hurt her. Tasuke, feeling guilty, finds out one wish; it would be nice if all his family come home and live together.
But Ruan doesn't take his wish as it is. She tells him, even if he is with his family, he won't be happy if they are ill. Health must be his happiness. Ruan decides to make him healthy with her power. She gives life to all sorts of exercise machines and forces him to exercise hard.
After a while, Tasuke is exhausted and Shao is worried as Ruan gives him tons of "healthy" supplemental food. Tasuke's heroic effort to eat them doesn't satisfy her and she tells him eat more. Shao thinks that is too much and summons Koka [which can store a large amount of things in his stomach] from Shitenrin to eat them for Tasuke. This infuriates Ruan and the battle between the two spirits starts in Tasuke's house.
Takashi and Koichirou are walking down a street. Takashi holds a photo of Shao which he bought from the school's Photo Club for 3000 yen. Koichirou is half appalled and half impressed with the club, who managed to take her photos in that chaos. The two boys are looking for Shao and on their way to see Tasuke; he must know something about her because they went home together.
When they comes to the door of Tasuke's, he, chased by Ruan, rushes out of it, smashing poor Takashi. Tasuke hides in Shao's room and she orders Uringun to blockade the room. Ruan and the various pieces of living furniture decide to attack from the outside. As she comes out of the house, Koichirou sees her profile and instantaneously falls in love with her [Koichirou likes women older than him]. But his adoration is literally smashed by the door which the bunch of the furniture violently open.
Shao checks outside of her room and sees no sign of Ruan, "She must have given up." But she was too optimistic. Ruan appears outside of the window standing on the top of the pile of the furniture. She casts a spell and combines them into something which looks like a giant robot. Shao responds to it by summoning Gun'nanmon, ignoring Tasuke's plea not to. As expected, the battle between the two giants ends up in the total destruction of the house.
Tasuke is furious and reproaches Shao and Ruan. Surprisingly Shao pleads for Ruan by pointing out that Ruan has just been called to this world and doesn't know it very well. Tasuke admits that he, who called the two spirits to this world, shares responsibility. So he forgives both of them for this once. Ruan isn't grateful; Tasuke would have forgiven her without Shao's intervention. Tasuke wishes he could go back to the days of his peaceful life on his own.
