Ep. 3: Nia's Doujinshi Sales Battle Ends in Tie Before Inversion Crisis

Nia leads a doujinshi competition at Comico, initially dominating through fame. The group counters by leveraging friends, coworkers, and idol promotions, eventually selling out to force a tie. Nia agrees to read their work, impressed by their speed, but uses Rasiel to discover their manga reflects painful truths. She then announces a second date with Shido, triggering an inverse reaction. Westcott and Ellen observe, revealing Westcott manipulated Nia’s amnesia via a micro Realizer to restore her trauma. Nia summons Beelzebub and monsters to attack. Ellen arrives in her CR-Unit, while Kotori directs the Spirits to delay her. Shido and Kotori are paralyzed by Future Entry. Shido uses Zadkiel and Sandalphon to counter the attack. A Wizard named Artemisia Ashcroft stabs Nia, removing her crystal. Westcott absorbs the Sephira Crystal, creating more monsters. He retreats after a brief standoff, warning of future plunder. Shido seals Nia by kissing her, restoring her. The group watches the sunrise, discussing their origins and humanity.
