Leopard reaches Innsmouth Reef, where Kazane prioritizes finding the Sword over rescuing Akiha. Akiha remains trapped in a box but adapts to survival, worrying Imo-chan. At Cafe Enigma, Nami wakes to find Nerval cooking, but leaves angrily after he mentions Akiha’s arrival. Meanwhile, Benkei and Tsutsuji retrieve the Crown from the sun, sustaining damage from the corona. Imo-chan eventually frees Akiha by recalling their shared memories. The pair returns to Kirkwood to discover it under missile attack by the UURE. Xanthippe uses Nerval’s Exclusive Control to deflect most missiles but fails to stop one. To protect everyone, Imo-chan pilots their escape pod into the incoming missile, causing it to explode.
