Ep. 10: Akamatsu Industries staff face a worm invasion while Li-Chan discovers a protective bell.

10

Akamatsu Industries employees return to headquarters seeking peace, but Yamajii and Li-Chan are interrupted by an old man who gifts Li-Chan a sweet-smelling bell before departing. Meanwhile, Keita, Hinoki, and Akamatsu remain late, ordering noodles while awaiting mission updates. A deliveryman is devoured by thousands of worms outside, and a power failure allows the creatures to flood the building via the backup generator. The staff attempts to destroy the worms using neuronoids but finds the robots and Mode Warp team members consumed. Trapped in a room, they are saved when Li-Chan returns, her bell repelling the worms in the small space. However, the protection fails in larger areas, and a collapsing air duct separates the group, leaving them vulnerable to the hungry swarm.
