Ep. 7: Duelo después de clases: Asuka rescata a Meirin del plan de secuestro de Takashi

7

Meirin's enthusiastic greeting as she delivers Asuka a homemade lunch at school commute inception while teasing him about their near-kiss in view of their respective family governments gives way to Daisuke escorting him to morning practice as the vengeful Takashi looks on. Just as Meirin is about to explain things to Shuuko and Yue, Takashi accosts her about the sentimental moment that she had with Asuka at her house with such ferocity that possession by an evil spirit is not contra-indicated; it is not long before Asuka rushes to Meirin's rescue and for the necessity of bearding the lion in its den to manifest itself during the home commute as Asuka sets course for the Nikumo Temple with Tenshin after escorting Meirin home. The ultimate irony is that Takashi easily wields this to his advantage as he makes short work of Asuka and Tenshin prior to stealing Meirin's hakke as he abducts Meirin herself into a shotgun wedding unless Asuka can somehow turn the tables and rush to the rescue.
