## Summary

Riri finds an unnamed girl on the beach side by a Huge corpse. Out of compassion, Riri decides to take care of the girl.

### Plot

The Hitotsuyanagi Squad scour the beach side where the remains of various Huge are scattered about. Riri manages to find a young girl who hatches from a yellowish-green pod beside one of the Huge remains.

Afterward, in the treatment area of the academy, Riri decides to stay with the girl who's bed ridden, while her Legion leave her. Soon, Riri is met by Matsuri who introduces herself to Riri and talk more in the girl's room as she rests. Elsewhere, the Hitotsuyanagi Squad briefly talk about what Riri is doing at the treatment area, until they're joined by Riri. She tries to ask Yuyu a question related to her Tactical History class, but the bell rings signally Riri that she'll be late for a lecture that she has to attend and leaves apologetically. Unknowingly, Riri leaves behind a book about Applied Close-Quarters Combat, and through out the day, Yuyu reads it. It's only when Riri is in the treatment room with the unnamed girl that she realizes that she's missing the book. It's then, however, the unnamed girl awakens and at the time she's incapable of speech, but it's revealed by Matsuri and Moyu that the girl is in fact a Lily and her skill level is 50. Coincidentally, it's the same skill level as when Riri joined the academy.

Meanwhile, Kogetsu has a meeting with the Security Inspection Committee Director and Vice Director concerning the "civilian" they recently picked up. It gets heated when Kogetsu's probes them for their true motives behind the civilian, to which, they refuse to answer and abruptly end the call. Kogetsu then apologizes to Izue who was also there and asks of his opinion on the civilian girl that was recently found. The scene skips back to Lily and the unnamed girl who stops Riri from leaving her and finally speaks. Although Riri politely contests that she must go, Matsuri allows the girl to follow Riri as she's able to trust the girl's care in Riri's hands. So later, Riri informs her fellow Legion members about the circumstances surrounding the girl and they all understand and accept. On the other hand, although Yuyu is supposedly ok with this, she's notably unnerved as perceived by Kaede, who thinks Yuyu is jealous.

Elsewhere, Miriam visits Moyu in her labratory and they talk about how Moyu is currently researching Riri and her "attraction" to many people. Back at the Hitotsuyanagi Squad room, Fumi Mai, Shenlin, Mai, and Kaede talk about the unnamed girl. Time passes by and Riri helps rehabilitate the unnamed girl who starts to regain her strength overtime. Eventually, Riri visits Yuyu in the cafeteria area and embraces her noting its been so long since they've been together. They're soon joined by the unnamed girl who is formally introduced as Yuri Hitotsuyanagi.
