God's Punishment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The three archangels asks Kohaku to return to Heaven with them, but Kohaku can't make himself leave Shuuichirou any more. Touki touches the hand of Ranshou as a sign for mercy, but Ranshou shakes his head and asks Kohaku if he intends to disobey God. Kohaku can only cry in Shuuichirou's arms, and the man can only stare angrily at the three archangels. Ranshou is about to use his power, but Hisui appears and stops him. Ryuuki is excited to see him, but is mad to know that Hisui is now with Kokyou. Hisui tells them that he has also escaped from Heaven and he does not want to go back again. Thus, Ranshou proclaims God's punishment to Hisui, which is simply taking away his title as an archangel and never to return to Heaven again.

Hisui happily thank God and his former colleagues, for that means he can now stay with Kokyou in the human world hereafter. He expects God will show similar mercy on Kohaku and let him live with Shuuichirou, but Kokyou says they should not be optimistic about that. Surely, God's decision is that Kohaku will be rid of all power of hougan and has to remain in his chibi form for 100 years.

Everyone (maybe except Ryuuki, who is now barking at Kokyou for taking away his Hisui-sama) feels bad for Kohaku. The archangels don't understand why the punishment for Hisui and Kohaku is so different from one another. Hisui even thinks of going to beg God's forgiveness for Kohaku, but Kokyou says it will be futile because Kohaku has loved a person he should not have.

Kouryuu has just returned from Hell and is shocked to find out that all the four archangels are at Shuuichirou's home. Kouryuu has brought back a book Kokyou asked him to get. Kokyou says it records the secret of Shuuichirou. Kouryuu cares less about that but would like to bully Kohaku immediately. However, Hisui asks him to treat Kohaku nicely for the day.

Kokyou goes into the garden with the book and use hougan to ask it to reveal to him Shuuichirou's destiny. When the book closes afterwards, Kokyou says: "Just as I thought."
