After finding the victim of a Horror, with the demon nowhere in sight, Kouga brings the remains to the Watchdogs who reveal it to be the work of Morax, a Horror that takes the form of timepieces which Kouga has never faced the likes of before. Working in a bicycle delivery service, Kaoru is tricked into finding the Saezima Estate where Kouga warns her to stay away from any time piece for the day. By then, Kaoru learns of Kouga's Mad?gu Zaruba, who reveals the ring she wears as actually a part of him to her disgust. Soon after, to further insure her safety, Kouga had Kaoru occupy the guest room with Gonza paying the delivery fee as compensation. By nightfall, Kouga finds Morax as he devours a high school girl named Ayano, jump onto another girl to evade the Makai Knight through various hosts. However, taking a delivery for her shrink, Kaoru ends up being taken hostage by Morax as he assumes the form of an old clock tower. Fighting the Horror's defenses, Garo manages to rip out Morax from his vessel and kill him. With Morax dead, the building fell apart and Kouga carries the unconscious Kaoru to safety before she comes to. Giving Kaoru back her watch, she attempts to demand answers when she realizes she is behind on deliveries.
