12

D.D. and Orudina find no abnormalities in Hikaru but install a pulse monitor in her right hand due to her unique permanent humanoid form. Hideo announces plans to open an Ibaragi bakery branch in Tokyo, requiring the Shiina family to leave Hokkaido in the spring. Tsubasa worries about Hikaru avoiding her and fears she will depart Earth with D.D. and Orudina after their mission. During class, Hikaru experiences another blackout and asks Tsubasa to handle their research presentation. As Tsubasa gains confidence, Hikaru's pulse rate stabilizes. Hikaru admits to Tsubasa that they must part ways once all Maguars are eliminated. Meanwhile, Kuroda arrives at an abandoned coal mine following a lead in his investigation.
