Mana ponders that there are all sorts of Deformed Ones, all sorts of mermaids, and all sorts of Yutas. In a flashback to the first year of the Tokugawa shogunate , when Yuta was , Yuta remembers Natsume, an apparently year-old immortal girl who works in a market with an old man, whom she calls Pa and who purports to sell mermaid flesh.
An itinerant monk who has been searching for Natsume finds her and cuts off her left arm. Yuta carries Natsume and her severed arm back to Pa, who reattaches her arm. In truth, the monk had used a piece of mermaid liver to resurrect Natsume for Pa. When the monk had decided to end Natsume's existence, Pa had run away with her. Yuta doubts destroying Natsume is the right thing to do and offers to take her with him.
The monk attacks Natsume and removes the mermaid liver. When Pa sees that the monk has removed Natsume's liver, he picks her up and jumps off a cliff with her. Yuta finds Natsume alive at the base of the cliff, but she turns to bones in his arms. Yuta and Mana meet Nanao, a year-old boy carrying a cinerary box. Nanao was kidnapped by an unknown man with the help of his grandmother, but he escaped.
Alone, Nanao's mother opens the cinerary box, revealing the skin of a scarred woman's face. The next day Mana and Nanao see Nanao's mother enter the cellar, but later the woman from the photo emerges with a bandage on one side of her face. In the cellar, Mana discovers surgical instruments and the skin from the face of Nanao's mother.
Meanwhile Yuta has been following the kidnapper. When the woman with the bandage meets the kidnapper, Yuta overhears her call him Nanao and him call her Mother. The bandage slips from her face, revealing a scar. The older Nanao explains to Yuta that, 25 years ago, his mother ate mermaid flesh.
Then eight years ago, his mother, who hadn't aged in 25 years, kidnapped his son. In the cellar, the scarred woman attacks Mana, but Mana and Nanao escape. Then the woman uses the surgical instruments to remove the skin from her face and to replace it with the unscarred face, becoming the woman Nanao thinks is his mother. Not knowing the two women are the same person, Nanao tells her where the injured Mana is hiding.
As Nanao's mother is dragging Mana to the cellar, Yuta and the older Nanao arrive. Mana throws the box with the scarred face outside, where it opens to allow Yuta to see its contents. Nanao's mother admits that she replaced the face scarred from mermaid poison with one she got from the corpse of a woman who washed ashore. Nanao's mother locks herself and Nanao in the cellar so the others cannot stop her from feeding him mermaid flesh.
As the scar appears on her new face, she doubts that the mermaid flesh is not poison. Mana knocks the flesh from Nanao's hands as he tries to eat it. Nanao's mother gives him back to the older Nanao and walks off into the fog. In a flashback to 60 years before, a girl, Nae, tells her servant, Sokichi, and Yuta that local villagers used mermaid ash to create the Red Valley, a field of perennially blooming red flowers.
Elsewhere Yuta heard that a villager killed a nun to steal the ash, but the nun came back to life and killed many of the villagers. When Yuta leaves, Nae disappears. The village holds a funeral for her, even though there's no body. Over the decades, Eijiro, Nae's former fiance, buys the village land.
In the present, Mana finds one of Eijiro's men beating a girl named Nae. Nae kills the man, but two other men kill Mana. Eijiro, who keeps Nae confined on his estate, realizes Mana is immortal when she revives. Meanwhile, Sokichi, having met up with Yuta, tells Yuta that Nae is still alive unchanged and leads him to Eijiro's house, where Eijiro's men capture them.
Nae kills some of Eijiro's men and escapes with Mana. Eijiro orders his men to recapture Nae unharmed and to decapitate Yuta.
