Highlights:
Thanks to Bokusen-Oh, the girls know what they must do to track down the Kyuyokon root, however, they must get through a barrier on Mount Musubi.
Once the girls stepped into the sacred mountain, only Moroha, who owns spirit powers, can pass through. She arrives in front of the psychic tree where Rion (Kirinmaru's daughter) is sleeping.
Towa and Setsuna are trapped within and put to the test. Setsuna stands before the tree holding her mother, while Towa is back to present day. They are both asked "What do you want to protect?" and "What do you want to throw away?" If they can't answer the questions correctly, they cannot get out of the barrier.
