"The Moment Of Breakdown"
Yukimi is standing outside Hana's door. Yukimi then tells Hana that he's looking for the teacher and knows that Miharu and Yoite is in the house. When Hana doesn't let him in the house and says that he's from that world. He gets angry. When Yoite tries to do something, Miharu stops him and then decides to head out through the back door. Back outside, Yukimi can't seem to believe that she's from the real world. Then she talks about even if he takes her hostage, Thobari wouldn't do what he says, but he wouldn't leave her either. She then asks him if he's hungry and goes back in the house. When she's back in the house, she notices Yoite and Miharu gone, and takes the food and goes outside. To her surprise, Yukimi is gone as well. The next morning, Kouichi is brushing his teeth when he notices Raimei is looking at him outside of his window. They both head out and she mentions about Kumohira not coming back home last night. She then confesses that she made a promise with Miharu about stealing the kinjutsu from Kumohira and giving it to him. Not surprised, Kouichi tells her that he thought so. He tells her that she's been acting strangely and that Kumohira might already know as well. Feeling guilty, she thinks maybe that's why Miharu came back. Not knowing that Miharu came back to banten, she tells him that Miharu has called him the day before telling her that things like hurting people or bringing people back to life. To save Yoite, it might be something like that, but it may affect others and not just Yoite. If that happens, he asks her to be her ally. If the time comes when he does something bad, he asks her to kill him in the name of Shimizu. She explains to Kouichi that if he listens to what Yoite and Kairoushuu say, he might understand them. Seeing her feeling down, Kouichi tells her to be the way she is. And tells her thats the Raimei he likes, and she thanks him. When they're walking, they notice that there's someone following behind them. So they run for it. The person following them happens to me Yukimi. The three of them starts fighting. Then Raimei yells out that Kumohira is the only one who knows the location of Engetsurin on accident. He then tells them that they don't know where Kumohira is. When Raimei tells Yukimi that she knows where he is and Yukimi follows her leaving Kouichi confused because Raimei doesn't know where he is.
Meanwhile, Miharu and Yoite is at Yoite's favorite location. The place where the trains are wrecked and where they decided to help each other. They plan on finding Kumohira before Yukimi does or they can't guarantee his safety. Right then, Kouichi walks in and Yoite asks him how he found the place. He answers, "I dont know superpowers?" Outside, Miharu's cat walks away. It seems that the cat brought Kouichi to the hideout. He then tells them that Raimei and Yukimi are together. It seems that Raimei is lying about where Kumohira is to Yukimi. Yoite leaves to go find Yukimi.
Raimei is at a school with Yukimi and in school, she taks a run for it and fights Yukimi. It seems that Kumohira is in the school. Hearing a glass break, he goes outside and finds Raimei in trouble. Raimei didn't think Kumohira would be at school. Kumohira orders Raimei to leave, and fights Yukimi alone. On her way back, she sees Yoite walking up the stairs to where Kumohira and Yukimi is. Yoite then comes in the battle and stops Yukimi from shooting the gun. Kumohira is surprised that Yoite saved him. Yoite then tells Yukimi to go home and that it has nothing to do with him. Then Yoite and Yukimi starts to fight. Then Kumohira knows why Yoite saved him. Yoite coughs up some blood and tells Yukimi to get out of that place. Raimei, Miharu, and Kouichi comes back to Kumohira. Up on the roof, Yoite talks to Yukimi about when he told Yoite about involving people from the real world is a crime and that's the law of Nabari. He falls down and says that Yukimi is dishonest. While pointing the gun at Yoite, Yukimi tells him to get himself checked into a hospital. In time, Miharu, Raimei, Kouichi, and Kumohira arrives, and Yukimi takes a run for it. Yoite faints and takes him to Hana's house. Waking from a nightmare, Yoite tells Miharu to quickly erase his existence. Miharu then reminds Yoite back in the Alya Academy, he once told Miharu that he didn't want to die. And asks the question, 'what is the difference between erasing his existnce and dying'. Miharu mentions how he doesn't know anything about Yoite's past but Yoite tells him that he doesn't have to know. Outside the room, Hana overhears their conversation. In the living room, Kumohira thinks about the one last thing he has to do. The next morning, Kumohira took all of his things and left the house. Later, Miharu and Yoite takse a leave as well.

She then chases him and asks him whether or not if he wants to talk to Akira. She then tells him to talk to Akira. He then tells her how she doesn't notice things like that for her, but notices other people. (like she doesn't understand Kei's feelings, but she understands Yahiro's.) Then they hear Akira's yell and she happens to lose her cell phone. Everyone at the Kokusen festival then tries to find the cellphone. Hikari then gets excited because it's a competition and looks for it. When Akira goes back to the shop, Yahiro is with her and tries to talk to her. but can't seem to say anything to her.

He then says something which makes Akira mad, but happy so she just throws pillows at him for fun.
In the garden, Hikari sees Yahiro walking by himself. She then tells him how she wants him to find Akira's cellphone so that he could talk to her. When he was about to tell hre to cut it out, Kei comes behind him and tells him to cut it out. He then tells hikari to leave and both leave Yahiro behind. After, Yahiro tries to search for the cellphone, and hikari and kei sees him looking for the phone. When they approach him, he tries to deny that he's searching. Then they both hear two guys talking about finding the cellphone and whether or not they shouldn't return it or not. Hikari then barges in telling them not to take stuff without their permission. After seeing Kei and Yahiro, one of the guys freak out, so he runs towards them to give them the phone back, but he trips over a rock and the phone flies, aiming for the ground, but just in time, Yahiro jumps and catches the phone, falling to the bushes. Yahiro then tells Kei to return the phone to the school's chariman's son, Tadashi. When asked why, he answers that she'll be happier if it was that way. Denying the request, Kei walks away. Hikari then explains that he tried hard to get the phone and that he should return it. He goes on talking about how she hates him and what not, and Hikari gets frustrated, she tells him to go on, while slapping his back.
