Chapter 074: The Ougi Clan

The Ougi Clan (扇一族), Ōgi Ichizoku) is the 74th chapter of the Kekkaishi Manga written and illustrated by Yellow Tanabe.

Summary
Masamori Sumimura meets with Ichirou Ougi to discuss Karasumori. Ichirou complains about Gen Shishio's involvement, stating that as an Ayakashi Majiri he cannot be trusted. Masamori insists that Gen is being kept under control, and that Ichirou may not be aware of all the preparations Masamori has made, so there is no need for the Shadow Organization to interfere. He asks that Karasumori be left up to him, as he has complete faith in Gen's abilities. When Masamori rises to leave, Ichirou notices the executive badge design on his back and becomes furious. Masamori states that concealing membership is a custom, not a law. Ichirou attacks him, and Masamori defends with his Zekkai. Though he appears unharmed, Masamori leave and shortly collapses.

Masamori returns Yoshimori's missed phone call while being treated by Kikusui and Shiragiku. Yoshimori tries to convince him not to dismiss Gen. Masamori says he'll think about it.

At Karasumori that night, Yoshimori and Tokine discuss their not wanting Gen to leave. Yoshimori wishes Gen would at least give some sign that he didn't want to leave. Yoshimori confesses that he wishes the Sumimuras and Yukimuras could forget their grudge and work together, and urges Tokine to think the same.

Gen wonders why he hasn't been contacted, certain that Hiba told everything because he hates Gen. Yoshimori suddenly calls Gen and says he wants to talk.
