Trapped in a summoned paddy field, Okarun finally cracks the rhythm lesson by moving to the Hayashi's music, saving Aira and letting her topple the portraits' conductor.
Summary
The Music Room Portraits drop Okarun and Aira into a rice paddy, where the pair scramble to dodge waves of explosive notes. Distracted by how smoothly Aira evades, Okarun brushes a rest symbol, gets paralyzed, and is buried under a barrage of detonating notes. Frustrated with himself, he is barked at by Turbo Granny to lock in, since Aira cannot keep dodging forever, and told to sync his body to a tune he knows well to slip the attacks.
Key Events
Okarun protests that this is hard because he never listens to music, then recalls the Hayashi's performance. Riding that beat, he reaches Aira in time to pull her clear of the incoming notes and begins weaving through them cleanly, drawing praise from Turbo Granny. With Okarun covering her, Aira closes in on the conductor.

The chapter caps the fight's middle stretch as Aira lashes out with her hair and brings the conductor down. It forms part of the running Okarun, Aira Shiratori and Turbo Granny versus Music Room Portraits battle. Belonging to Volume 7, it was adapted into Episode 20.
