Hearing of the basement, Rito remember when he and Haruna warped there (naked) in past. Yami decides to give a look and take Riko with her. Momo ask the reason and Mikan says Yami is worried for Tearju, but is too embarassed to go by herself.

Going down, Riko tells Yami he's relived because no matter how akward she feel, Yami is worried for Tearju after all and she's her family. Riko says its would be nice if Yami got more closer to her and now she told everyone about Mea, she doesn't need to hide her relationship with Tearju either. But Yami tells she made public her relationship with Mea just because it was necessary, and she hates giving other information about herself being raised to be such a contrary person. Yami tells Riko he doesn't need her meddling and asks him why is so interested in her life despite being just her target. Riko then tells Yami that he just wants to see her happy, and Yami blushes.

Suddenly, they listen Tearju moaning from the basement and found her bound and her clothes ripped from a Medical Robot who want investigate her heartbeat. Blushing, Riko asks what is and Yami explain its a robot that Mikado used as an assistant before she came to Earth, but it had numerous malfunctions being second-hand. Riko ask why is active and Tearju admits she fell down and accidentally flipped the switch.

The Medical Robot then target Riko and Yami, and it tries to take off their nurse outfit with its multiple pincers. While both avoid the attack, Tearju tells Yami to run away. But Yami bumps into Riko's boobs and, while they argue, the robot use the chance to strip them and throw some band-aids. Both fall down, and Yami accidentally grope Riko' boobs. Riko calls her shameless and Yami finds it weird to listen this from him. The robot then starts to bandage completly Rito and Tearju for the treatment. Tearju tells again Yami to run, and she apologize for abandoning her. Yami thinks back at days when Tearju departed from Eden and cuts the robot in half with her powers freeing Riko and Tearju which are fainted. Blushing, Yami comment how all these hindrances just have made more difficult for her to handle the situation. Suddenly, Yami notes Rito is returned to a boy, and she sees something shocking.

Meanwhile, Mikan and Momo ask Mikado when she met Yami for the first time. Mikado tells that, because Yami is strong, she only rarely got wounded badly enough to require her help. But the first time she was in bad state; her physical streght was exausted and she even lost the memory of several days. Mikado has no idea what happened to her and even after they saw each other on Earth, Yami still don't remember. Momo recall Nemesis' words in chapter 29 about Yami is unconsciously becoming aware of true self...the "Darkness" and wonder what Nemesis know.

Oshizu then sees Yami, wearing her classic dress, comes out with an embarassed face. Yami is complaining about Rito to be returned back to normal in a bad timing and that she was forced to dress him. While Tearju wakes up and Rito is still sleeping, Yami mutters about the "beast".
