30

Hideaki, now confirmed as an RI-ON operative, discovers the shrine's location. He coerces Meguru into guiding them, but she refuses. Upon Ishiro's arrival, Hideaki defeats him to demonstrate his power to Meguru. Other characters soon arrive to rescue Ishiro, triggering a large-scale conflict. Desperate to avoid aiding RI-ON, Meguru leaps from Kohei's dragon in a suicide attempt. Ichiro intervenes to save her, enraging Hideaki who demands her return. Agent L assists Ichiro, allowing him to survive by influencing Hideaki from Earth. This strange occurrence prompts the RI-ON president to order a retreat to the shrine. Meanwhile, Reiji and his allies express doubt about their chances of victory but resolve to reach the shrine before Kohei, Mahiru, and Hideaki.
