In her spaceship, Yami is taking a bath. The computer Lunatique give her a good morning and notes lately she has been able to get plenty of rest in bed. Lunatique ask asks about changes in her mental state, to which she replies that is just Sainan. Lunatique don't undestand and Yami tells it could if it lived here. Meanwhile Nemesis observe the ship from a roof.

At Yuki's house, Rito is sleeping and licking Momo's tail who is inside his bed, upside-down and above him. Hearing Momo's moan, Rito then wakes up to find the girl (half-naked) doing suspicious actions to him. Shocked and embarassed, Rito quickly gets away from Momo who ask him if he had a good dream. Rito asks her to stop messing with him, but she says she's developing his body. Momo than explain she is offering Rito her body in order to draw the carnivore inside him, and they are getting already some results because. When Rito is aleep, his beastliness become more and more amazing.

Momo then tease Rito maybe it's the time to put it into pratice even when he's awake, and she's sure Rito still have plenty of energy left. Recalling last time in chapter 17, Momo tells she wouldn't mind and pushing her body toward Rito, and she will do everything for the Harem Plan. Rito rejects, saying he still is not okay with the harem idea, and Momo sadly states how he's always defensive when he is awake. Momo asks Rito how he can say something like this, despite he proved to have the capacity to be the king of harem. Momo explain how, since she proposed the idea, Rito showed his ability with many girls from Lala, Haruna, Yui and Run, more recently, Rin and Nana who didn't use to have interest in romance. Momo states Rito raised many flags and has a splendid skill. Rito ask on what she basing this on and Momo explain its an intuition. The biggest prove is Yami that she thought to be the greatest obstacle for the Harem Plan for targeting his life and instead she will fall too is Rito push her a little harder.

Later at school, Rito thinks about Momo's words about Yami's feeling for him, but he can't believe it. Suddenly, he bumps into Yami, ending a position with his face under her panties. Yami asks how even is possible if they are just bumped into each other and states laws of physics don't apply to him anymore. Yami then starts to attack Rito, telling she will kill him. Momo watches the scene, commenting she wouldn't really do it, but has a doubit.

However, before Momo, Haruna comes to save Rito asking Yami to forgive him, and she accepts for this time. Momo thinks Haruna was good and there is a reason if she is Rito's main interest. Suddenly, Yui appear asking Haruna why is clinging a boy, and Run comes accusing her to make a move on Rito. Embarassed, Rito and Haruna try to explain, but Lala appear telling they look good together making all more complicated. Later in the 1-B class, Momo thinsk there are still plenty of obstacle starting with Nemesis who is playing around since she said about waiting something. Momo then tells the VMC to stop singing because she's trying to think.

Afterwards, at the school's pool, the 1-B girls are having their swimming lesson and comment on Tearju's skimpy bikini. Embarassed, the teacher said Mikado make she wear it and it look too bold. The girls says instead its fine and have pity for boys that can't see it. Nana is shocked from Tearju's gorgeous body and Momo tries to console her, but their school swimsuit pointbreair different breast size making the situation worse.

Yami and Mea observe the scene from the other pool side. Yami says that, for earthling, sisters fighting is a sign of a good relathionship. Mea asks if so they instead a bad relathionship and Yami repons the inverse is not necessarily the case. Yami then says they become sisters from just a brief time and in future they will become more close, clashing sometimes but even undestand each other and this mean to be sisters for her. Mea tells its true wheter to be human or a living weapon. Yami states Mea now is more honest and listen. Yami reval she was thought how long she can live in this place despite her nature of weapon, but Mea lifted the haze over her hearth showing how someone like her can live there and to be accepted from everyone. She was able to reconfirm that, in this town, nobody care of their nature and will accept them, so its ok to be there.

Suddenly, Yami's body begins to shine and her powers goes out of control (groping its herself body). The girls are shocked and Tearju realize what is happening. Confused, Mea comments how bold is the sister to use her power in this way, but Nemesis tells she's wrong and this is the "activation". Mea then sees Nemesis who explain her trasformation in Darkness, (Eve's true form), is activated and there was a condition.

Momo and Nana comes to Mea but, when she show where Nemesis is, they don't see anything. Nemesis tells Mea that its useless because she appear only to her and talk how different she's from her and Yami, but every her acts is for he sake of all three of them. Mea's hair then turn black and she talk with Nemesis' voice telling she's realized that inner peace (who a weapon is not supposed to possess) was the key to activating Darkness. Nemesis then tells Yami she can finally meet the real her.
