Ep. 7: Narumi becomes Shirogane while Shirogane faces Vilma's challenge and betrayal

7

Paulmann and Anselmus attack Narumi, but his Aqua Vitae healing allows him to destroy them. To protect the children, Narumi accepts Resh's offer to become a Shirogane and fight the automata. Meanwhile, Shirogane performs as a clown with the Nakamachi Circus and is approached by Vilma, who challenges her to a contest of skills. Vilma befriends her, but later corners Masaru at the circus campsite and prepares to kill him. Shirogane suddenly arrives to intervene, but Vilma immobilizes her with throwing knives. Shirogane's body recovers enough to fight back with Harlequin and defeats Vilma. Impressed by Shirogane's loyalty and Masaru's resolve, Vilma decides to join them in the Nakamachi Circus.
