• Mahito sensed the danger posed by the two special grade sorcerers and stopped himself from grabbing a child hostage after foreseeing his death.
• Aikawa Kaze messaged Suguru Geto and offered him a chance to consume the special grade cursed spirit.

• Mahito apologized and agreed to do good deeds, and Yuta Okkotsu established a Binding Vow that Mahito had not knowingly accepted.

• Nanako asked whether Suguru Geto needed an infiltrator, and Manami mocked the sisters as unqualified.
