With Acrobatic Silky at rest, Aira develops a crush on Okarun for saving her, tangling the trio's feelings. A jealous misunderstanding sours Momo's mood right as the Serpo return and trap the three inside a flooded void space.
Summary
The aftermath of the Silky battle leaves Aira smitten with Okarun, and the three teenagers' emotions knot together uncomfortably. Just as the romantic tension peaks, the Serpoians strike again, sealing the group inside an empty dimension.
Key Events
At dinner, Aira insists Momo and her family are demons she must defeat, while privately resolving to free Okarun from Momo. The next day Okarun lies about writing a report so he can train alone, and Aira ambushes him with a clumsy kiss guided by her father's books. He stumbles and lands on top of her exactly as Momo walks up, and the misread scene leaves Momo hurt and refusing to hear his explanation. Okarun later finds his classroom flooded and deserted, signaling another alien incursion.
Notes
A snake-like creature blasts apart the room Momo hides in, and a crab-headed alien attacks Okarun and Aira. Okarun's curse is suppressed by the Serpo, who bring giant scissors to harvest his reproductive organs for the power they witnessed earlier. Aira saves him by entering a form resembling Acrobatic Silky, lashing the Serpo with her hair and declaring herself the chosen one. The episode opens the Serpo Arc, adapting Chapter 18 through Chapter 20.
