Let 'Em Eat Cake

Hauled up by Unji, Momo joins him in a desperate leap onto an enormous donut, the latest treat announced by the giant chef. The shikigami frogs touch down too and drive the pair back, one of them warning Momo that the Danmara intends to keep them trapped until death. Unji swings his geta to beat the frogs off, drawing Momo's thanks, and points out that the kintama rests just beneath their feet.

When the chef names his next dish, the two dash for the prize ahead of the frogs. One frog nearly snatches it, but Unji knocks it aside and seizes the kintama. In that instant the chef lashes out at frogs and humans alike, declaring he is shutting down for the day. Her psychic abilities suddenly restored for reasons left unsaid, Momo grabs hold of one of his utensils to stay aloft, then unleashes a Moe Moe Tri-Beam that tears the chef apart.

The clash pits Momo Ayase and Unji Zuma against the Frog Shikigami and the Nom Nom Bongo. Perched on the donut, the duo holds off the frogs, one of which brands them monsters and swears the Danmara will never release them alive. Gambling for the family jewel before the chef can strike again, Momo guards Unji from hurtling candy so he can lunge for it. He claims the prize, yet the chef clobbers him and powers down for the day. With her abilities back, Momo wipes out the giant cook using her Moe Moe Tri-Beam.
