He's probably not as innocent as he looks...
I think this is one of the rare occasions where the antagonist (i.e. Samon) actually fears the protagonist (i.e. Hakaze). Most of the time, you get an overly-confident villain who, even when things look to be going his/her way, ends up being defeated by the valiant hero who often has a bit of luck on their side. However, in this case, Samon is more fearful (or cautious) than confident. He fully acknowledges the fact that Hakaze can easily stop him in his tracks but is also necessary in case his plan fails, and thus, chooses to isolate her instead of killing her. And so, it'll be interesting to see how this whole thing will play out given the statuses of the people involved. The skull at the end (what a twist~) will inevitably play a large role in the near future as our two leads must now figure out whether Hakaze really is dead.
With the addition of two new characters—one antagonist in the aggressive Tetsuma and one protagonist(?) in the innocent-looking-and-mysterious Junichirō—the potential for storyline expansion has just increased. New characters, especially ones like Junichirō who have an unknown past, generally add to the story effectively by using their experiences or knowledge to either expand on or provide a different perspective on what's already in place. In the case of Junichirō, his mysterious relationship with Hakaze is just asking to be elaborated on, and will probably require a half to one episode in order to do so. I hope that Junichirō will be able to shed some light on the Kusaribe clan of the past and possibly help our protagonists in the upcoming confrontations with Samon and his subordinates. Zetsuen no Tempest has indeed gotten slightly more interesting as of late so I hope it's able to keep this up.
