Shana and Yuji start off the day walking Konoe to school at the dissatisfaction of Shana. Apparently, it’s originally not his duty to walk Konoe to school, but he volunteered to do so to save Yoshida the trouble of going out of her way. Then fast forward to some rather unimportant scenes involving their classmates cleaning up the pool. Totally useless stuff.

Over at Margery’s place, Wilhelmina discusses her investigation on the Keeper of the Reiji Maigo. They mention Yuji’s training with Shana, which doesn’t go well with Sato, who has intentions on wanting to get stronger so he could travel around with Margery, but cannot find any way to go beyond his human limits. This is evident the next day while they are at a new restaurant where Sato challenges Yuji to an eating contest. Slowly, but surely, something tells me Sato is going to acquire power by some means. He’s somewhat of an x-factor character that can lean either to the side of good or to the dark side.

After their eating session, Konoe suddenly disappears from the group. Yuji decides to look for her, but Shana does not want to. Probably due to her negative emotions towards Konoe. She decides to head home, and Yuji fails to talk her out of it, so the two go their own ways. A typical love-hate relationship between the two as always.

Yuji eventually finds Konoe somewhere saving a bird from a cat. Yoshida sees the two and starts to feel a little jealous. Shana
being upset at the whole thing sends Wilhelmina to train Yuji instead of doing it herself. The next day, Shana and Yoshida avoid eating lunch with Yuji and Konoe and instead share each other’s company on the rooftop. This is like an example of “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” kind of thing. This also reminds me of Onegai Twins where the two girls make a pact with each other to support each other until the guy chooses.

Overall, I hated this episode. All slice-of-life and doesn’t really touch upon what the show really is, which is sci-fi action.
