While Kanata is broke, Noir pawns her beloved camera, confident she and Kanata will win. They proceed to use what theyve learned in the field to make quick work of the other opponents.

He slinks back to Kencho and the others exhausted, alive, and unable to impress the konbini girl. When she angrily asks him why, he tells her to forget about the reasons.

And yes, indeed, they got this. But the boss battle is still steeped in danger throughout. He also keeps Vera off balance with a creative array of spells.

But after she recovers in the infirmary and they tell her what happened, her reactions surprise them both. She forgives her, and vows to speak to her properly....

Kazuya is worried a confession is forthcoming, but I knew better. There was no way Chizuru was going to confess her love to him. And Kaz seems to be that pillar. Sure, they worked their butts off all day, but no doubt her words gave him comfort. Ironically, this time itsChizuruwho is having trouble sleeping, and wasnt really asleep when Kaz came in.

In a distressing cold open, a Drifter is surrounded by sinister black coffins who take his Magus captive. So of course I feared Noir would meet a similar fate later in the episode. Noir wants to take a shower with Kanata, but he forbids it. Clearly, theyve been sold another bill of goods by Claudia. Kanata is able to evade them for a few blocks, but eventually theyre surrounded. But not unreasonably, Kanata wants payback for being played the fool not once but twice now....

When they get to her place, Remi wants a hug....
