Escape from the Cursed Trunk!

To back up Rin as her gravity-laden singing raises the figurines out of the trunk, two men pull out instruments and play along. Inside the inner realm, Okarun keeps hold of Momo's hand as he rises alongside Turbo Granny, Rokuro, and Vega, and he puzzles over why she alone stays pinned down. Turbo Granny grasps that eating this world's food is what roots Momo in place. Momo urges Okarun to leave without her rather than be trapped, but he refuses and presses his kintama on her to test whether it can break the trunk's hold. It does nothing, since, as Turbo Granny explains, the curse flows from the Fairy-Tale Card, who must fall before the world does. Counting on her own luck, Turbo Granny chooses to remain with Momo and hands Okarun the task of beating the card, urging speed because time runs faster inside than out.

Okarun agrees once Momo entrusts him with it, yet he can barely let go of her hand, admitting how hard their separation was, declaring his love, and swearing never to be parted again. Flustered, Momo insists he release her so she can rise, telling him to defeat the card and to save a proper confession for when she is free. Okarun gives his word and drifts upward with Rokuro and Vega beside him. Meanwhile the Fairy-Tale Card drives the battered Unji to flee, and one of the Renjaku students threatens the spirit, baffling it since it cannot grasp how the boy reached such heights. Delinquents then ring the yokai, bent on stopping its escape and rescuing Unji. The card and the delinquents burst back into the real world, stunning Rin, who finds the gravely wounded Unji beside her. Celebrating its freedom, the Fairy-Tale Card thanks Unji for his brave fight, vows his death will mean something, and announces it has found someone able to destroy the world: Rin.

Rin adds live music to lift the people trapped in the trunk higher. Turbo Granny figures out Momo can't float because she ate Danmara's food and became its resident. Okarun passes the kintama to Momo and confesses his love. Momo makes him promise to confess again, properly, once they are safe. Turbo Granny stays with Momo as Okarun, Rokuro, and Vega rise. Surrounding the yokai, the delinquents cross out of Danmara's edge and spill back onto Earth alongside it. It abandons Unji and turns its sights to Rin as the one who could end the world.

This Volume 19 installment pairs Okarun's love confession with the captives' breakout from the cursed trunk. It ends the Danmara escape and turns the Fairy-Tale Card's attention to Rin, setting up the world-ending threat.
