The twenty-sixth Dandadan chapter has Aira confess to her classmates that she invented the rumors about Momo, then storm off. Outside, the exhausted Dover Demon collapses, and the group nurses him at the Ayase house until he weeps and swears never to hurt them again.
Summary
Before Momo can finish telling Okarun something important, her friends barge in demanding answers about the earlier uproar. Momo stays vague, prompting Miko to guess aloud that the two girls fought in their underwear over Okarun, which Momo flatly denies. Across the school, Aira's classmates comfort her as she plays the victim, pleased her scheme is landing. Her mood sours when they begin trashing Momo as the bully behind the rumors. Guilt takes over, and Aira owns up to fabricating the lies herself, pleading with them to leave Momo be before she walks out past her stunned peers.
Key Events
Outside, Momo finds Aira and asks whether she pinned the incident on her as planned. Aira says yes, but Momo reveals she saw through it, having noticed Aira sitting all alone, which irritates her. The Dover Demon then shows up, speaking of providing for his family. The girls brace for a fight, only to watch him topple from exhaustion as a white substance seeps out of his body.
Notes
Waking at the Ayase house after dreaming of his son, the Dover Demon is watched over by Seiko, Okarun, Aira, and Momo. Seiko brushes off Momo's alien claim, assuming the visitor is a kappa. Catching sight of curry made just for him, and moved by the kindness shown to him, the Dover Demon breaks into tears and vows never again to harm them. The chapter sits in Volume 4 under the Serpo Arc and Kintama Hunt Saga, released September 28, 2021, and adapted into Episode 10.
