Li Yu’s group confronted Satomi Rentaro with evidence of the Tendō Family’s crimes, but he defended Kikunojō Tendo and tried to stop Tendō Kisara’s revenge.

Natsuki Minamiya opened a passage between worlds and sent three hundred Boundary University students to Li Yu, who assigned them to clear Gastrea around the city.

• Asagi Aiba reported the assassination plans against Seitenshi, including the involvement of Hiruko Kagetane and an owl-Gastrea mechanized soldier, and Li Yu ordered teams to locate the attackers and bring back the children.
• Asagi told Li Yu that many Cursed Children still distrusted the new policy, so he asked everyone to search for them while Asuna, Yukino, and the others prepared to handle their targets.
