[Synopsis] After two major incidents involving supernatural beings—a deadly battle between the medicine peddler (Hiroshi Kamiya), wielding the
Exorcist’s Sword, and the Tang Umbrella, followed by the decisive showdown with the Fire Rat—peace finally seemed to have returned to the Ooku.However, the medicine seller sensed the lingering presence of “something” that would not fade and remained on guard.Just then, Odaiko Sachiko (Atsumi Tanezaki)—the official consort of the Emperor (Jiyu Irino), who rules the realm—gives birth to a long-awaited son. Yet her joy is short-lived; despite the hopes and prayers of those around her, the child dies.Sachiko, who had hoped to transform her purely nominal marriage to the Emperor by bearing an
heir, finds herself, in the depths of despair, drawn into a terrifying conspiracy that threatens to overturn the very foundations of the Ooku. The frustration of her irreparable sacrifice going completely unrewarded, coupled with her anger with nowhere to turn, gradually begins to metamorphose into a vengeful spirit—.Hokuto Muroki (Kenjiro Tsuda), the priest of the “Mizusama” faith within the Ooku, watched the unfolding events with a solemn expression.At the same time, unnatural tremors (earthquakes) began occurring frequently within the Ooku. Accompanied by eerie, writhing movements—as if a gigantic creature were crawling—and triangular scales falling from nowhere, a series of bizarre incidents began: maids were twisted out of shape and strangled to death.What appeared before the medicine peddler who had rushed to the scene was a mononoke—a serpent deity—in the form of a giant snake. After a standoff, he managed to temporarily repel it with an exorcism charm, but unless he uncovers the three aspects of 【Form, Truth, and Reality】, the “Sword of Exorcism” cannot be drawn, and he cannot slay the serpent deity.Where did this Snake God originate? Why did it come to harbor such rage that it would devour the Ooku? And why has it now reared its head and begun to stir? The root of it all lies 150 years in the past, hidden within the true origins of the Ooku.

Long ago, the Ooku was created by Yukana, the wet nurse of the third Emperor. Its system is said to have sustained an era of peace, and she is now revered as “Mizusama”… but.Sensing an ominous presence, the medicine peddler makes his way to the shrine at the center of the altar and uncovers a shocking truth—one that has never been spoken of before—capable of shaking the entire realm to its core!The feud between the Third Empress (Miyuki Sawashiro) and Yukana, the secrets of the Muroki family—and even the background behind the successive appearances of mononoke in the Ooku are exposed, bringing all the threads together into a single narrative. The medicine seller stakes everything to confront the mononoke, which embody the very dark history of the Ooku.However, faced with a serpent god who has channeled years of pent-up resentment into unimaginable power, he finds himself cornered in a crisis unlike any he has ever faced… As death closes in, a series of unpredictable, extraordinary events piles up! What will become of the medicine seller as he faces his greatest crisis yet? [Cast
