Feeling Kinda Gloomy

Okarun visits Momo's maid café shift, where Miko and Muko tease the pair into an awkward group photo. Walking home together later, Momo takes his hand against the cold, flustering him. Back at the house, Jiji proudly reports progress suppressing the Evil Eye through ki training, only for Aira's spilled boba to drench him and flip him into the yokai. The spirit conjures his cursed house to block the hot water and trap Momo, shrinking the space to strangle her, until she spits out water she had kept in her mouth and restores Jiji.

Seiko burns her hand shielding the group during the attack, and Manjiro warns her that the Evil Eye can no longer be safely contained, urging that the hayashi be recalled. He counters Seiko's wish to protect the children from hard truths, arguing that adults must also teach them to face reality. Determined to become useful, Okarun begs Mantisian to teach him to throw a punch and is refused. Turbo Granny challenges his real goal, pointing out that punching is not the same as strength, then leads him to the school's music room at night. Aira tails them and shifts into her Acrobatic Silky form when Turbo Granny provokes her. In the music room, Turbo Granny explains that the Evil Eye can fit four actions into the time Okarun manages two, and that closing that gap is about technique. The piano then plays on its own as large-headed musicians materialize.

The episode falls in the Evil Eye Arc and adapts Chapters 54 through 57. A photograph shown in the episode carries the date October 14, 2024. Aira clarifies that the insults she throws while transformed are the yokai's words, not her own, though she repeats them anyway when needled. The installment ends on the arrival of multiple portrait musicians, setting up the coming fight.
