After killing the Man-Eaters, Maru and Kiruko finally meet Dr. Usami. He asks something difficult of them, and leads them both to a room where a horrifying scene awaits.

Maru and Kiruko arrive in a prosperous marketplace. It's the town where the rumored Ministry of Reconstruction runs things. Meanwhile, the academy is suddenly under attack. While trying to take shelter, the children find a hole in the wall.

Mimihime, Shiro, Anzu and Taka all head outside through a hole in the wall, as they search for an answer to their teacher's test. Meanwhile, Kiruko is in tears after Robin does something terrible.
