🚪 Trouble at the School Gates

At the start of the chapter, things are uneasy at the school entrance. Kinta and other students from Kami High are held back by a gang of delinquents lurking near the gates. While tension brews outside, Okarun walks through the hallway alongside Bamora, questioning whether Seiko will take his training seriously. Momo quickly reassures him, promising he’ll be treated just like Jiji was.

Despite her words, Okarun doubts himself, feeling that Jiji’s natural abilities give him an edge.

🥊 Okarun Steps Up & An Old Friend Returns

As the group becomes aware of the Renjaku High delinquents, Okarun bravely decides to confront them. His boldness catches the attention of his peers—just in time for a surprise arrival.

Unji enters the scene, sporting a new look—longer hair and glasses—making him almost unrecognizable to Momo, Okarun, and Bamora. Once he reveals his identity, Momo is overjoyed to see him healthy again. However, Unji is momentarily shocked when he hears Momo’s voice coming from nowhere—until she delivers a power-charged kick to snap him out of it.

🍱 Tiny Momo & The Curse of the Trunk

Momo’s miniature size surprises Unji, who learns it’s a side effect from the cursed food they consumed inside the haunted trunk. Oddly, Unji appears unaffected. He explains he’s been looking for Momo ever since their escape.

He brings disturbing news: his friend Daiki Hakono—also a survivor—has begun aging at an unnatural rate. Daiki’s parents even refuse to recognize him due to this sudden transformation. Time inside the trunk had accelerated, making it feel like four years passed in the blink of an eye. Unji, moved by Daiki’s plight, asks for Momo’s help in returning him to his normal age.

💥 A Misunderstanding Sparks a Showdown

As Momo agrees to take Unji to her home, things take a chaotic turn. Aira and Jiji arrive and, seeing Unji holding Momo, mistake him for an enemy. Aira uses her Acrobatic Silky hair technique to grab Unji’s wrist, while Jiji rushes to pull Momo away.

Unji counters with his signature umbrella weapon, blocking Aira’s kick. Seeing his powers, Aira and Jiji suspect he may be linked to the recently defeated Kouki. A short but intense battle ensues.

Bamora steps in, activating her kaiju suit to block Jiji, and Momo finally ends the scuffle by neutralizing both Unji’s and Aira’s transformations.

✋ Peace Restored – For Now

Momo sternly reminds the group not to reveal their powers in public. She forces everyone to apologize, setting the record straight—Unji is an ally, not a threat.

With things calmed down, the group is finally ready to help Daiki and face the mysterious consequences of the cursed trunk.
