I Definitely Drank Too Much

I Definitely Drank Too Much (さすがに飲み過ぎた) is the second episode of the Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds anime series.

Synopsis
Jingi takes Yukito on his first job to pacify an Ara-Mitama chasing people away from the local canal, but the origin of the problem may be closer to home than either of them believed.

Plot Summary
Jingi, with an alcoholic beverage in hand as he wakes in the morning, greets Yukito who is outside trying to practice his skill. Yukito is skeptical that the instruction Jingi provides him will actually help him to control his power. Jingi explains to Yukito how Ley energy works and demonstrates his power by creating a figure made of water. Jingi returns to report that there is no alcohol left in the house, so they will need to get a job to make money to afford this. Jingi insists that Yukito follow him in this endeavor since he is Yukito's master.

The scene moves to Yako and Chatarou, who are fighting over a job to pacify an Ara-mitama. Jingi takes the job from them and introduces Yukito to the two students who work under Haruaki Kurama. Jingi suggests that Yukito might become friends with the two boys since they are around the same age. Yukito is excited by the idea of being able to make friends.

The Ara-mitama they have been tasked to defeat emerges in the water, and Jingi tells Yukito to fight it by himself. Yukito runs away after Jingi and both end up in the water. A fisherman finds them, commenting that it is not surprising to find Jingi drunk in the river. The two again encounter the Ara-mitama, with Jingi again running away. Yukito manages to land a shot against the monster, and Jingi also attacks the spirit, seeming to finish it off. Looking at the remnants of the creature, Jingi realizes that he likely created the thing while out drinking with his friends and trying to show off his Ley mastery.

The Ara-mitama reforms, and Haruaki Kurama arrives to pacify it. Haru is thrilled to meet Yukito for the first time in 10 years, though Yukito does not remember him. Haru gives Yukito a piece of candy and tasks Jingi to clean up the river since it is his fault for polluting it with trash while drunk and for having created the Ara-mitama. Haru and Yukito return to Yukito's home where Momoko has made curry, which is the island's speciality. Yukito is uncertain about the unusual-looking dish but finds it delicious. Haru comments that Yukito has not changed since early childhood; the curry was his favorite dish as a child.

Haru explains to Yukito that Ley mastery is about rectifying natural law and restoring harmony. He explains that Ara-mitama are mitama that have lost control after absorbing negative energy; that they are not evil and need to be pacified. The Ara-mitama go on rampages because they are suffering. After the credits roll, Aka is seen using a gun to kill an Ara-mitama, destroying it rather than pacifying it.
