Ép. 10: Nikaido piégé par En tandis que Caiman enquête sur le sort de Risu avec Tanba

10

Attacked by the familiar in The Hungry Bug, Nikaido and Johnson manage to distract it long enough for everyone to escape upstairs. In a flashback, Nikaido recalls receiving her sorcerer's mask from her demon friend Asu; climbing into her loft and recovering it, she gains the strength to easily defeat the familiar. This is revealed to be a trap, however, as the familiar's pooling blood turns into a door on the ground, dropping everyone into En's mansion. The head demon Chidaruma appears and confirms that Nikaido's magic can control time and, despite her blatant lack of consent, Nikaido is forced to exchange contracts with En. Shin and Noi also successfully renew their contracts, while an upset Fujita is unable to enter a partnership with Ebisu as she suffers diarrhea and cannot sign before the night ends. Caiman, suffering mysterious nightmares based on his unrecalled memories, goes for a late walk but is followed by Tanba, who interrogates him. Learning Caiman is actually a magic victim and not a sorcerer, Tanba offers to help him find the Cross-Eyes through a potential lead; he received a letter from a Cross-Eyes customer on death row who wants Fukuyama's pie as his last meal, and brings Caiman along. Caiman puts the prisoner into his mouth, who recognizes the man inside as Risu, but he cannot explain before he is dragged into Hell; Caiman is narrowly saved from the same fate when Asu appears, who warns him that Nikaido is imprisoned at En's mansion. Nikaido's contract begins to make her submit to En, and En requests she be given a new mask by Chidaruma. Kasukabe, Johnson, Thirteen and Vaux escape En's dungeon, with Johnson having a cockroach pick locks and Kasukabe stealing Fujita's gun; Kasukabe holds him at gunpoint, only to be surprised and pinned by Shin.
