Ran Into Someone Deadly

Watching Momo go flying after the word pomade annoyed the yokai, Bamora activates the giant form of her kaiju suit to retaliate. The Slit-Mouthed Woman shrugs off every blow and answers with a suplex. Back on her feet, Momo recognizes the spirit as a Slit-Mouthed Woman and resumes chanting pomade, aware that ten repetitions will banish her. The yokai cuts her short by pushing her hand into the mirror and emerging from a shard on the ground to strike, repeating the trick through scattered fragments until she catches Momo by the leg.

Bamora moves to pin the yokai and is told by Momo to finish the ten-count chant. Charmed by how cute Bamora looks beside her, the Slit-Mouthed Woman decides to seal her inside the mirror to keep herself looking good, then warns Momo that banishing her will erase Bamora too. Momo claims she does not care, since she still does not trust Bamora, and charges nearby rubble with her power, hurling an insult that the yokai is ugly. As the enraged spirit reacts, Momo flees but uses the moment to snatch the mirror.

Still running, Momo tries to free Bamora from the mirror with her powers and fails, leaving her to carry it home and hope Seiko can fix it. The Slit-Mouthed Woman then captures Momo as well, the trap springing once her own reflection is satisfied, and gazes at both girls' faces. The clash is logged as Momo Ayase and Bamora vs. Reiko Kashima. The chapter belongs to the Space Globalists Arc and the Kintama Hunt Saga, printed in Volume 9 and released September 27, 2022.
