２年前、弥勒が病を治したという娘・志麻は、薬草を煎じるために水を汲んだ湖の主様（妖怪）に求婚され困っていた。再会した弥勒に救いを求めた志麻は弥勒を許嫁だと慕う。驚く珊瑚は昔のことだろと言いつつも怒りが抑えられない。そこへ当の主様が志麻を迎えに来た。だが、志麻は嫁になる資格がないと断る。すでに弥勒と結ばれたというのだ。怒った主様は大ナマズの本性を現して志麻をさらってしまう。珊瑚は志麻を助けようとして水の中に引き込まれた。そこを弥勒が救い出す。昔のあやまちは志麻の嘘と明かされ、珊瑚は弥勒と仲直りする。
English Summary:
Miroku comes across a village where he remembers meeting a young girl named Shima, who was ill two years past. Then, he had lecherously proposed to her, tricking her parents into buying his expensive medicinal herbs. She is being forced into a marriage with a catfish demon, despite claiming to be betrothed to Miroku. Her father unknowingly promised Shima to marry the catfish demon due to using lake water for her medicine and regularly praying to the shrine by the lake. The whole situation causes Sango to doubt Miroku's feelings for her. Shima later insists she had lost her virginity to Miroku when he first met her, and Sango finds she cannot easily forgive him. The catfish kidnaps Shima and Sango as his intended mistress, but Miroku uses his Wind Tunnel to dry up the lake and defeat the yōkai. Shima reveals that she lied about being betrothed to (and sleeping with) Miroku, only to avoid marrying the catfish demon in the first place. Sango and Miroku reconcile.
