Asmoday rescued Naberius and captured Rhinedottir, then brought everyone back to the train for dinner. Zhongli agreed to keep Rhinedottir imprisoned, while Asmoday helped the exhausted Naberius get food.

• After handcrafting a giant slime, Naberius insisted she was fine despite her shaking legs, then collapsed when she tried to walk.

• Asmoday explained that Rhinedottir had swallowed Naberius and that Naberius had exhausted herself making a giant slime, then helped her get food.

Naberius visited the train, enjoyed its food, and modified the farm’s Plant Turrets, then filled Ye Yun’s shop with strange plants before cleaning them up. Ye Yun discovered an unconscious Bangboo from Zenless Zone Zero in the lounge and learned it could connect his shop to that world when it returned.

• Jashin-chan served Asmoday and Naberius Bobo Chicken, and Stelle told Naberius where she could try Ice Field Deer hot pot in Belobog.

• Ye Yun found bizarre plants filling his shop and ordered Naberius to remove them, which she did.
• Ye Yun found an unconscious Bangboo wearing an orange scarf beneath the Bar Counter and learned from the system that it had been brought from a Hollow by a spatial-temporal disturbance.
• The system told Ye Yun that the Bangboo could take a Teleportation Portal back to its world, and Ye Yun wondered when Zhe and Ling would reconnect with it.

Ye Yun asked Screwllum to repair the Bangboo, and Screwllum let Clara practice the repair in her laboratory. Ling and Zhe briefly reconnected to the repaired Bangboo before Screwllum and Clara dismantled it again, leaving them to wait and discuss what they had seen.

• Ye Yun called Screwllum after the Bangboo stopped working, and Screwllum found that several core components needed replacing.
• Screwllum took the Bangboo to Clara's laboratory, where Clara showed him a durable material she had made from a Doomsday Beast's exoskeleton and alloy steel.

• At the Sixth Street Video Store, Ling restarted the HDD and successfully reconnected to the Bangboo, whose view showed Screwllum and Clara staring at it.
• Screwllum and Clara dismantled the Bangboo to investigate its unexpected speech, cutting off Ling's connection, and Ling and Zhe discussed what they had witnessed.

Back at the video store, Zhe explained that Noelle worked for a powerful figure in Another World and agreed to take Nicole, Anbi, and Billy there for a meal later.

• Noelle joined Anbi and Billy in defeating the nearby Ethereal Monsters, then Zhe arrived and offered to lead them out of the Hollow.

After Kiana angrily ended their chat, Stelle offered to accompany her to class the next day, while Zhe introduced Nicole, Anbi, and Billy to Himeko aboard the train.
