Meanwhile Megumi is waiting for the chance to sneak in or maybe lay low instead, they are suspicious of him.

His function is to destroy cursed spirits and if he needs Hakari’s help he will prove he will do what it takes. Hakari keeps beating him while Yuji doesn’t even defend himself and just eats it and k"
