## Summary

Six months ago, Gelato 5 engages for the first time the Reaper Princess Desumi Magahara and Red starts fighting her. As they are equal, Desumi states that Red is tougher than the rumors. Looking at her, Red's heart starts beating faster.

At present, Gelato 5 engages Gekko members. Fudo and Desumi are fighting each other. As they are observed by news crew, they give secret signals to each other, giving away what their next attack will be. The two then move away to escape the camera. Once they are no longer watched, they stop fighting. Fudo notices that Desumi sits further away than usual and she explains that she had been quite active today and may smell of sweat, however, Fudo doesn't care and states he won't leave her, no matter how she smells. Fudo starts taking pictures of Desumi, who initially doesn't care, but then stops him and states he should use her phone as that way they can share the pictures. They get close to take a picture, but both feel quite embarrassed. Suddenly Yellow appears informing Red that they are done. Desumi quickly plays as defeated and Yellow is impressed. Fudo wishes they leave, but Yellow informs him that the TV station wants to take an interview. The newswoman arrives and they start the interview right where Desumi lies "defeated." The newswoman comments that Desumi is a powerful opponent and wonders how Fudo feels about her. Fudo then states that when he first saw her, his heart was pounding fast and sometimes spends the entire day thinking about her. The newswoman then asks Fudo if he has a girlfriend, but before he can answer, Yellow starts laughing and points out at Fudo's muscles, stating that he is training all day and doesn't have a girlfriend. However, Yellow believes it would be good for Fudo to learn more about the female heart and announces they are taking applications for a date with Fudo.

As the interview ends and the TV crew leaves, Fudo returns to Desumi, but feels she is angry. He explains that there is no other girl for him and he will do anything for her. Desumi then wonders if he will take her to a real date as its something she always wanted to do with her sweetheart one day. Fudo then states he will take her and they agree to meet tomorrow at five o'clock in Central Park. Desumi leaves happy, but Fudo then wonders what you do on a real date. That evening, Fudo spends time searching online on what he should do, but is overwhelmed at all the things that can be done on a date. A bit drunk, Yellow joins him wondering what he is doing and ends up thinking he is preparing for the date she announced. She tells him there are no rules and all that matters is he to pick something that they both enjoy. Hearing that, Fudo immediately makes his date plan.

The next day, he goes to Central Park disguised a bit. As Desumi comes, he is excited to see her in casual clothes and reveals he has a date plan. As first location, he takes her to a training gym, Kin-niku Gym. After training, Fudo takes Desumi for a run, thinking that the best thing they can do and enjoy is training. After the run, he wonders if Desumi is hungry and she expect they go for a dinner, but Fudo hands her a protein bar. Fudo then wonders what Desumi think is the strongest insect if it was giant, however, Desumi decides to go to the bathroom. Fudo believes everything is going perfect and the next location is the human anatomy exhibit. Yellow calls Fudo, telling him to forget about her advice of no rules as she was drunk. Fudo asks her to tell him the rules and Yellow starts explaining that he shouldn't go in his tank top and should make himself presentable. Since the girl is likely to have dressed up nicely, he should avoid any activity that would make her sweat or get dirty. He also must make sure to get reservations in a decent restaurant. And after that he should talk about sweets or something. Fudo then realized he did everything wrong. He starts looking for Desumi, panicking and wanting to apologize and she to give him another chance. He is unable to find her, but Desumi ends up finding him, stating she went to buy some drinks since the protein bars make your mouth dry. Desumi then wants to resume the insect conversation, which surprises Fudo, who asks her if she was enjoying the date so far. Fudo explains the situation and Desumi laughs, stating that she is happy that he worries about such things and that she is fine with just being with him. Looking at her, Fudo's heart starts to beat faster. As they continue to look at each other, they start to get closer and closer and are about to kiss, but their alarms ring with both being called to their headquarters. The Gelato 5 and Gekko end up engaging in a fight, but both Red and Reaper Princess stand in a bliss and do nothing.

At the Gekko's women dorm, many of the female staff who works for Gekko also lives here. Hellko lives in Desumi's room and heard that many tremble just from hearing Desumi's name, but she finds that hard to believe as when Desumi is home, she looks like a normal girl. One night, Desumi came back in a daze. Hellko was worried about her, but since then Desumi has been smiling and laughing much more. Hellko act like she doesn't know what exactly happened, but in reality knows about Fudo and swears that if he makes Desumi sad, he will pay for it.
