## Summary

Yesterday, while walking at night, Aira is hit in the head by a golden ball and gazes at a stream of light riding along the railway, which prompts her to take possession of the golden ball after becoming amazed at the sight. Back in the present at school, Aira is met by her friends who brings over the requested items she asked for in preparation for her mission to save the world. Aira then warns her friends that she has spotted a mysterious woman in red outside the school, only to hear from them that the woman is only visible to her and comes to the conclusion that she must be Momo's familiar who was sent to spy on them. After trying to hide from the woman, Aira is caught acting suspicious by two boys and tries to play it dumb while secretly communicating to her friends to meet her after school. Meanwhile on top of the roof, Momo and Okarun learn from the Turbo-Granny that she spotted a mysterious woman lurking around and discuss the possibility of a human picking up one of Okarun's golden balls, which could lead them to awaken the power to see spirits and be attacked by them. The Turbo-Granny then tells the two that she will explain more about the mysterious woman after school. Later, Aira wonders to herself if she could handle fighting both Momo and her familiar and looks outside to see the woman in red getting close. While in the halls, Momo is requested by Aira, who she recognizes as the girl she dropped the basin on yesterday, to meet with her in private. Momo agrees to talk to her somewhere else, since she did not want to make things difficult, and tells Okarun that she will meet up with him later. Okarun is then informed by the Turbo-Granny in his backpack that the mysterious woman she spotted earlier appeared. After following Aira to an abandoned building, Momo finds herself jumped by Aira's two friends who handcuff and restrain her while Aira tries to exorcise Momo with a rosary and a bible. Becoming irritated with their actions, Momo uses her psychic powers to push Aira's friends off of her. Aira becomes shocked to once again see Momo's "demon wings" and pulls out the golden ball to aid with her exorcism attempt. After learning that Aira has one of Okarun's golden balls, Momo tries to explain to her as to what the ball is but has no luck getting through to her. She then sees Okarun running in worrying about her and warns him that Aira has one of his balls and that she is the mysterious woman. However, Okarun corrects Momo, explaining that Aira is the mysterious woman's target who suddenly appears to grab the girl off of Momo.

After passing out, the Serpo pulls out a cable device from his chest that is directed at Momo. However, he retracts it after the possessed employee knocks on the door and causes Momo to wake up. The possessed employee tries to make Momo and the Serpo come out of their rooms by telling them that they needed to fill out the form again after accidently erasing it and tries to force himself in after hearing both voices. Before the possessed employee opened the door, Momo quickly resumes her disguise with the Serpo. The possessed employee confesses his feelings to the Serpo as a way to allow himself to see up his skirt and check to see if its Momo is hiding, much to her worry. After receiving permission from the Serpo, the possessed employee becomes suspicious that there are two shirts underneath and proceeds to lift up the top shirt. Noticing a mirror on him, Momo manipulates her bandages to wrap it around and cancels out Reiko Kashima's possession, know full well from Seiko that the yokai's possession will be undone if a mirror is covered. This then results in the employee going out of the room to apologize for his rude behavior. After being in the clear, Momo lets the Serpo in on what happened and asks about the chest device she noticed while under his shirt. The Serpo then changes the subject to asking her if she had ever professed her love to someone, much to her annoyance.

After Jiji is questioned by the woman on his sudden disappearance, he explains that he left to invite Okarun over to his house. The woman then asks Jiji if he is planning on hiring any more spirit mediums and hears from him that he does not, prompting her to bring out a shotgun to tell him, in the form of a threat, about her hunting license. Jiji tells the woman that even though she has a license she will get arrested by the police for pointing a gun at someone. This then leads to the male Kito Family members, who confronted Momo earlier at the hot spring, arriving with a police officer who helped to bail them out from being chased down by the residents. Hearing from Jiji that Okarun is his good friend, one of the men asks Okarun if he knows who Jiji's soccer team is to see if this was true. Okarun manages to answer correctly based on the soccer poster covering the hole in the wall. However, the woman catches Jiji lying after he denies that he brought over a girl to his house.

Empty Space

**Empty Space** (虚空, *Kokū*?) is an alternate dimension that aliens are able to summon once they are hostile towards a high spiritual human, serving as a battle ground from which there is no way out for their enemies.

## Overview

Regardless of whoever is responsible for the confrontation, Empty Space traps any high spiritual human at a nearby radius, as Aira and Jiji suddenly found themselves within it after Bamora enlarged her kaiju suit in Kamikoshi City to chase after Momo, Okarun and Kinta. The only way to escape Empty Space and return back to reality is if the hostile alien chooses to flee or if their enemy causes them to no longer be active.

## Appearance

Empty Space takes the setting of wherever the confrontation between an alien and a human takes place but within a dark space. Though this is the case, any damage done does not adversely affect the real world once left. The environment of the parallel dimension can also be slightly altered by the alien. The Flatwoods Monster was able to block Momo and Okarun's means of escaping Empty Space Ayase Residence by creating walls around the area and also created a harmful dark mist. The Serpo created a flooded parallel of Okarun's school to benefit Nessie who they brought along to target Momo.

## Trivia

* The confrontation between the Serpo against Okarun, Momo and Aira suggest that Empty Space can also be summoned through advanced alien technology, as one of the Serpo mentioned an apparatus that was activated upon their arrival at Okarun's school and had thought malfunctioned after questioning how Aira managed to enter Empty Space prior to her reveal of being able to use Acrobatic Silky's powers.

Despite not being able to perceive what she is saying, Okarun has her let go of him and responds back by telling her that he can't afford to marry her since he has feelings for Momo. Having said this confession, Okarun runs away flustered. While running, Okarun finds himself in the Empty Space and turns around to see a group of aliens confronting him.

Meanwhile, Aira and Jiji face the problem of having to battle a group of aliens on their side. In her Acrobatic Silky form, Aira aEmpty Spaces being hit by missiles launched by one of the aliens and targets it with a kick. The alien blocks her attack with a shield that stuns her with electricity and has the missiles guided towards her. Using her hair, Aira manages to move out of the way of the missiles but is then hit and sent crashing by a laser shot by the alien wielding a sniper rifle. Seeing Jiji running away from the alien with a vibration field, Aira tells Jiji to switch with the Evil Eye to assist her in the battle since she can't manage to protect him as well. Jiji tells Aira that he can't since the Evil Eye had agreed to only fight Okarun but says that he will fight back against the sniper while she handles the missile alien. Using his newfound ability to emit ki from his hands, Jiji lands a hit on the sniper and is warned by Aira that the vibration field alien is behind him. Jiji tries defending himself against the alien with the same attack but is harmed after the alien expands its vibration field. Seeing Jiji in trouble, Aira throws a pail filled with cold water she found to have the Evil Eye release but sees the water evaporating after making contact with the vibration field. However, the suited alien notices that the Evil Eye, who is displeased seeing the alien invaders, has been set loose and is unaffected by the vibration field's power.

However, Seiko stops him to smell his blood after she becomes familiar with its scent and has him drink a cart of milk shortly after. The Dover Demon then confirms that milk is the same substance as his race's blood, which gives Seiko the idea of asking a nearby dairy farmer for a cow for the Dover Demon to take home to his son. As he takes the cow onto his ship, the Dover Demon thanks the others outside for their help and that he is in debt to them.

Shortly after, Momo, Okarun, and Aira beg for Seiko to buy them new uniforms.

During the night, Aira apologizes to Momo for being responsible for the Evil Eye emerging and harming her and promises to be more cautious, only for Momo to tell her that she does not hold it against her. The next day, Okarun meets with Mr. Mantis Shrimp at work to ask if he can teach him how to punch but is refused since the alien does not encourage violence. Later, Okarun returns to the Ayase house with his body exhausted from helping Mr. Mantis at his job and finds it hard to look at Jiji while he is in the room, with Jiji also feeling the same way. Manjiro talks with Seiko in private to tell her of his plan to rehire the hayashi since he does not believe that Jiji's willingness to coexist with the Evil Eye will not work out after yesterday's episode. With this point made, Seiko becomes disappointed having no choice but to go along with this option.
