Plot

Picking up from where Season 1 left off, we find Momo, Okarun, and Jiji at Jiji's house in a rural Byakuja Village. Jiji had them investigate the supposed curse hanging over the house. The trio are soon confronted by the Kito Family, who are the landlords for most of the village. Momo is attacked at the local hot spring while the women of the Kito family question Okarun and Jiji. An all-out fight reveals a hidden, cursed room within Jiji's home and the underground domain of the area's ancient god, Tsuchinoko, which was actually a Mongolian Death Worm. In the midst of the conflict, Jiji loses control of himself to the "Evil Eye", a vengeful entity. This entity was enraged and ready to take Okarun, Momo, and all of Byakuja Village down.
