Ep. 11: Shin relocates to safety while Nikaido learns En's tragic past and Caiman intervenes in a pie contest.

11

Shin identifies Kasukabe as his savior and moves his group to a safe-house, refusing to release Nikaido despite pleas. Inside En's mansion, Chota mentors Nikaido but attempts to kill her under the guise of survival training. He then shows her a film detailing En's history: his infant magic turned his parents into mushrooms, leading to trafficking for sorcerer smoke. En survived being thrown into Hell, was named by demon Chidaruma, and returned to liberate sorcerers. After two decades, his lieutenants died to a cross-tattooed assassin. En attacked the killer, blacked out, and woke to a mushroom-filled neighborhood known as the Death Shroom Incident. En needs Nikaido's time powers to verify if the assassin survived. Meanwhile, Caiman, disguised as a mascot, competes in a pie cook-off against ex-wife Asuka. Asuka enchants her pies to distract customers, allowing Caiman to abduct Nikaido. She resists, declaring her desire to stay with En, unaware of the contract's influence. Caiman warns he will rescue her by force if necessary.
