Ep. 3: Mafuyu struggles with Sasha while Ekaterina arrives in Japan to test Hana as a partner

3

Mafuyu finds Sasha’s recent actions trivial compared to Tomo’s encounter with the Magnesium Qwaser, yet she remains frustrated by his antisocial behavior and broken rules. After rushing to Tomo’s side during his nightmare about the Qwaser of Gold, she attempts to host him but faces repeated defiance. Meanwhile, Miyuri suffers another rejection and twisted persecution. Elsewhere, the Copper Qwaser Ekaterina Kurae completes her journey to Japan, violently repelling gunmen who demand her android guardian Anastasia. Upon arrival, Miyuri admires Ekaterina before they go shopping. This outing serves as a practical test for Ekaterina’s theory that Hana would make an excellent partner for Maria, marking the culmination of her travel objectives.
