The human world was shaken by Nierve's experiment. The battle with Sanga, who had turned into Granite, came to an end, and Nierve left the place with a meaningful remark. Kizunato discovered that the owner of the sweets shop "Hidamari" was Shouma's uncle, and after much deliberation, he told Shouma the truth.
