## Major Events

* Sarayu receives the Ice Mistaelement Crysten Bottle.
* Waruko Henorio appears for the first time, intent on forcing Horeta to come with him to Moscow.

## Synopsis

The man from the last episode was Henorio Waruko, who used to train with Horeta for figure skating. Hearing that Horeta has gone back to it, he wants her to Moscow to pursue the sport further. He also says to Hinaka and Sarayu's faces that they are holding Horeta back.

After the opening theme, the rocket lands, and the AI says that the Star Color Pendants’ magic will make space suits unnecessary. Hinaka gets the opportunity to make the first step humanity has ever taken on the new planet, but she accidentally face plants instead. Meanwhile, the other three find that the ground is covered in bones. Horeta wonders if they’re due to a monster eating the creatures on this planet and Harihuncin panics about being eaten down to just his bones. Horeta points out that Harihuncin probably doesn’t even have bones.

Hinaka spots a building in the distance. However, before the team can go to it, somebody tells them to turn around on the count of three. When they do, the team is shocked to find three furry aliens who look like dogs. They try to growl threateningly, but Hinaka can’t help but pet them and play fetch with them. Eventually, one of the aliens decides that they’ve had enough.

Horeta suddenly realizes that they can communicate with the dog-like aliens, and Sarayu says that it must be due to their Precoloring Heapenstick. One of the aliens asks where they’re from, and Hinaka says they’re from Earth. The aliens decide that Earth must not be that special, as its inhabitants only have fur on their heads, while they have beautiful coats of fur on their entire bodies. Nonetheless, the aliens must admit that Hugfute has quite the exquisite fur coat. They consider Harihuncin to be the ugliest of the whole team, though, as he doesn’t have a single strand of fur on his entire body. This makes Harihuncin very angry.

It's finally the day of the tournament and Harihuncin is nervous for Sarayu. As Sarayu stretches, she hears Hinaka and Horeta, so she turns to see their banner, as well as Harihuncin accidentally popping up to say she's supporting her. Sarayu quietly thanks them but Charaparizen appears to turn the Ice Mistaelement Spirit into a Oshitorebyogen. The crowd evacuates the area in terror as Sarayu grows frustrated. She runs over to her friends, where they transform and fight the monster. However, it encases itself in ice, making it hard to fight. So Anmiltaine comes with a plan that successfully allows her to purify it in the end.

After the Ice Mistaelement Spirit gives Sarayu the Ice Mistaelement Bottle to heal Hugfute, Hinaka and Horeta notice that the tournament is most likely cancelled. However, Sarayu decides to jump over the pole anyway, and successfully does so. Sarayu is surprised at first but gives Hinaka and Hinata a thumbs up, which causes them to jump on her. As her friends hug her, Sarayu stares at the sky, knowing she is one step closer to achieving her dream.
