Not wanting to be outdone by Setsuna, Kuu attempts to bake a cake on her own. While Setsuna asks Kyoshiro if it is necessary to move Kuu to the Joto Academy. They are interrupted by Kuu who makes a commotion downstairs. Setsuna and Kuu end up in the bathroom again as Kuu is dirty from the attempted cooking. Inside, Kuu talks about wanting to impress Kyoshiro with her cooking. However, in the process of their talk, Setsuna is called away by Kyoshiro, or so she says anyway. After the bath, Setsuna talks Kyoshiro into going with her to go shopping for food.

I think I’m starting to be right about the whole bathing thing. The show just likes to make situations that result in Setsuna and Kuu in the bathroom together. Not that I mind, though.

Over at Mika’s temple, Kaon is powered up and ready to re-abduct Kuu after receving energy from getting a kiss from Mika, with a jealous Himiko looks helplessly on. All the other servants are ecstatic at the sight. On Kaon’s way out, she gives Himiko the cold shoulder and leaves without saying a word to her. At the market, Kuu and company finish their food shopping, but Kuu’s attention is pulled towards a jewelry stand. She wants to pick something up for Kyoshiro and spots a white horse. Kyoshiro notices the white horse at the same time and picks it up before Kuu does and attaches it onto Kuu’s uniform. This leaves a horribly jealous and heartbroken look on Setsuna’s face.

This time they’re really making it obvious the feelings Setsuna has on Kyoshiro. Before it would just show a blank stare from Setsuna whenever the potential for being jealous is available. This time it’s a zoomed in, black and white shot with only color in Setsuna’s eyes. If it’s not jealousy or heartbreak, I’d like to hear it.

Afterward, in front of a lake, Kaon appears in front of the three characters and makes quick work of Setsuna. While Kyoshiro has no choice but to help regenerate Setsuna’s mana, Kaon takes the opportunity to abduct Kuu and fly away. Kyoshiro devises a plan to rescue Kuu by having Setsuna lure Tarurotte (catgirl) over to Mika’s place to insight battle between Kaon and Tarurotte while Setsuna rescues Kuu.

In this scene where Setsuna is calling out for Kyoshiro, I don’t see why there’s a hesitation on Kyoshiro. It’s not as if he can stand off against Kaon by himself. Either way, it was going to end up with Kuu getting abducted anyway. Made no sense.

At Mika’s place, Mika introduces herself as Kyoshiro’s sister while also speaking negatively of her brother Kazuya. Kuu questions why Mika is using the Absolute Angel to cause destruction to the world. Mika realizes that Kuu has not realized it herself yet and that Kyoshiro has yet to tell her. Mika instructs Himiko to show Kuu what she’s talking about. Himiko reluctantly grabs Himiko and kisses her. Kuu lights up from a symbol on her chest and finally realizes that she herself is an Absolute Angel.

It was pretty much hinted that Kuu was an Absolute Angel, if not with hidden special powers. What took me by surprise was when Himiko kissed Kuu. They could’ve just told her, but I guess they were trying to be dramatic. That’s how anime are anyway. Actions speak louder than words.
