Ep. 3: Noiz visits Aoba, demands rematch, and kisses Mio and Aoba while inviting him to Ruff Rabbit.

A young man buys from Aoba, then appears in his bedroom revealing he was the rabbit-costumed Rhyme battle opponent. He demands a rematch, threatening Ren if refused. Clear arrives to protect Aoba, leading to a scuffle with Koujaku that Tae stops. The intruder introduces himself as Noiz. Aoba and Koujaku visit Mizuki, who is depressed about losing team members. The next day, Noiz visits the shop, where he kisses Mio’s palm and then Aoba’s lips, inviting Aoba to join Ruff Rabbit. Aoba refuses. Yoshie calls about Tae’s back injury, so Aoba helps her home. Later, Tae meets Takahashi, who notes Aoba’s survival. The production team later apologized for technical errors in the broadcast, citing an unfinished version aired by mistake, and rebroadcast a corrected version on July 26 while improving earlier episodes.
