Mikan asks which is the problem and Peke explain that Sephie is the last descendent of Charmians, a small race endowed with most beautiful appearance and voices in the universe. Their beauty is capable of attracting all form of life regardless of species, so any male who looks at them will turn into a sexual beast no matter how much of a modest person he is.

Sephie admit she faced many dangers since her childhood due of her charmian trait until Gid saved her and Rito (rembering him like a pervert) is surprised to hear his. Sephie explain the veil help to supress her beauty to a degree and is glad that her daughters did not inherit this trait. Rito then admit that he thought Lala' mom to be a Devilukian too and Mikan realize that Momo and Nana' abilities with animals and plants are result of being of Charmian descent.

Later, in the bathroom, Momo worries that her mother will find out about the Harem Plan thinking that she will not approve and nobody (even Gid) can't raise the head against her. So, Momo plans to lay low and be cautious. Suddenly Mikan comes noting Momo corncened, but she mistake it just for shyness because she meet her mother after long time.

Afterwards all the Devilukeans and Mikan go to Cyber Safari to take bath in an onsen. While Lala is playing with Momo, Nana explain Mikan that even animals like onsens so she asked her sis to make one. Mikan asks if is ok for her to be here because its a family meeting, but Lala she's part of family too. Meanwhile Sephie is still taking her clothes off with Peke' help and Mikan wonder if should'n be a problem to see her face, but Nana tells that only men are affected by the Charmian ability.

Mikan informs Momo that Rito is in the house to put Celine to sleep and Momo wonder what would happen if he saw her mother face. Momo think this could to help to turn Rito into a carnivore, but she quickly give up the idea because he would fall in love with her mother and the plan would turn in a failure. However, unknown to all, Celine runs off into the Cyber Safri chased from Rito who tells her to get back in the house.

Meanwhile Sephie is undressed (wearing just a towel and the veil) and talk with Peke about her daughters life on Earth when she hear Nana calling her.
