11

Shin recognizes Kasukabe as the doctor who saved his life, and moves his group to a safe-house; later agreeing to release them, he refuses their appeals to free Nikaido too. In En's mansion Nikaido is mentored by Chota, who begins trying to murder her out of jealousy under the false pretense assassination survival training. Chota then shows Nikaido an autobiographical movie that explains En's past. En's substantial magic power turned his parents into mushrooms when he was a baby, leading him to be picked up by a burglar who sold into a trafficking ring that bleeds sorcerers of their smoke for profit. Left to die once his smoke dried up, En's rage allowed him to survive even being thrown into Hell; eventually noticed by head demon Chidaruma, who named him En, he soon returned him to the magic world and began liberating sorcerers and building his family. After twenty years unopposed, En watched as his capos began dying to a sorcerer hunter, identified as a knife-fighter with cross tattoos on his eyes. With his inner circle dead and Shin and Noi seriously wounded, En attacked the assassin in a rage and blacked out; coming to with the entire neighborhood engulfed in giant mushrooms, later labelled a freak incident dubbed "The Death Shroom Incident", En saw the assassin step through a closing magic door despite being beheaded. The film ends and En appears, explaining to Nikaido that he needs her time powers to return to the Death Shroom Incident and confirm whether the assassin really did survive. Disguised as Tanba's pie mascot, Caiman assists him in a cook-off against his ex-wife Asuka held outside En's estate. Asuka tries to cheat the contest, enchanting her pies to make customers obsessed with them; Caiman seizes the distraction to drag Nikaido away from a distracted En. Nikaido stops Caiman and argues that she wants to be with En, unaware of the contract's effect on her. Caiman warns her that he's rescuing her by force if need be, and Nikaido asks if he thinks he can. (Source: Wikipedia)
