Modulo Chapter 24

As the ritual of harmony reaches its end, the cursed spirits across Tokyo fade while Yuka and Tsurugi wake to find themselves healed. On Simuria, Dabura claims his revenge against the Deskunte chieftain and lifts that rule from his tribe. At the same time, the Rumelians debate what should be done with the Kalyans aboard the Naunax, beings who will never accept the coming generation of Rumelians as their own.

With the rite complete, Tokyo's curses dissolve into specks of light and rise skyward. A recovered Cross gazes across the city from aboard the Naunax, joined by other Simurians and sorcerers watching the spectacle. Miyaguni reaches into the drifting glow and finds it tender, as if the curses are at rest rather than exorcised, and Yuji commends Maru's resolve. Somewhere else, Yuka rouses as Mahoraga's wheel tumbles down beside her and melts into shadow; touching the back of her head, she realizes the ache of her tumor has vanished and smiles. Tsurugi's communicator rings with Yuka calling, and Maru, kneeling at his side, helps him stand so the two can return home.

On Simuria, Dabura and Spejo step into the chieftain's chambers. When Spejo throws back her hood and dares him to kill her, the chieftain realizes with dread that her curse has shattered, and beams of light promptly erupt from the palace and level it. Sensing Dabura's rolloluca, the stunned Deskunte warriors watch him materialize, fling the chieftain's head, now severed, onto the ground, and proclaim himself their new chief, whereupon they kneel. For his first order Dabura commands a proper grave for Dura and his enshrinement as a hero. Confessing he understands little about politics, he declares he will resign afterward and leave rule to the Deskunte, who soon erupt into laughter and celebration.

Within the ship's meeting room, the brothers lay out why curses were confused for Kalyans and how scattering soul colors should end the mix-up. The remedy spawns a fresh problem: because the souls belonging to Rumelians, to Kalyans, and to curses could not be separated during the scattering, any Rumelian or Kalyan born from now on will hold a differently colored soul, so the Kalyans may not recognize the next generation and might attack it. Cross notes that since no Kalyan has been born in a century, the council must settle the fate of the fifty-two still aboard. Boro and another member scold the brothers and want them interrogated first, but Jabaloma counters that the change was essential for Simurians to live on Earth, and Osuki quiets the objectors, agreeing the Kalyans come first. Maru admits he briefly considered destroying the Kalyans alongside the curses, since they might someday devour Rumelian children, yet could not make that call alone, and presents two paths: treat them as wild animals to be wiped out, or let them survive. Over in the Gojo Clan's curse-filled storehouse, Yuji wanders the shelves and is greeted at Panda's spot by the cursed corpse. A four-panel bonus has Yuka coaching Maru on table manners and joking that crossing the utensils over his eyes signals seconds, a gag Kyoko Tomoe stretches further before reminding Yuka that she herself hails from Kansai.
