## Summary

Yuki brings Mizuki to the Piarl organization to crown her as Dark Queen.

## Plot

Yuki announces that they'll be going to crown Mizuki; Kaito jokes about it, as always. In the end, Axel jokingly hits them and Yuki and the Aki twins leave in a rush.

Once they arrive at the organization, Eve is just outside. Yuki introduces herself but Eve claims that she already knew. Yuki informs Eve that they're here since she has the Queen. Eve does not believe her. They will have to test it out and, so, everyone enters the building.

When in, Eve tells Kat that they might have the Queen. Kat is shocked and exclaims that bun will be there soon. Yuki assumes that Mizuki is scared but that isn't the case -- she's simply curious. Eve brings them all to the testing room where she calls them useless for not knowing where to stand. Yuki and Miyuki stay in the same spot but Mizuki follows Eve for the Queen Test.

Mizuki has to step on an energy circle. Eve explains that if she passes out, she is not the Queen. Mizuki takes her place, when ready, but does not complete the test as she faints. Miyuki is worried. Eve stops Miyuki from going near her sister. They convince Miyuki to take the test in Mizuki's place, something Yuki seems to be against. Miyuki wants to do this for her sister. Once Kat arrives, bun is shocked at the sight of a bloody Mizuki unconscious on the ground. Eve tells Kat to bring Mizuki over to "Al" (Yuki). Seeing that they are indeed caring towards her twin, Miyuki does not want to do this test anymore, but she is forced to.

When doing the test, Miyuki does not faint but, instead, she bleeds. Yuki thinks this is unreasonable, while Miyuki has no idea what it means to be Queen. Eve claims that the test has never been wrong but Yuki reminds her that there has only been a Queen and that was their founder. Eve is annoyed by this behaviour. Miyuki is welcomed as the new Dark Queen.

Yumeka puts all the guilt onto herself and gets really worried about the other three Guardians. She starts to blame her dreams but, then, Yuki comes in, without Miyuki. They all wonder where Miyuki is. It doesn't take long before they understand that Miyuki is the Queen. Yuki gets Alex to hold Mizuki, while Yumeka blames herself for that mess. Kaito comes in and finds out that Miyuki is the Queen. They joke about it but no one seems to be on board. Alex goes to heal Mizuki.

Yumeka suggests that someone should go visit Miyuki, from time to time. Yuki says that only one person can visit and Kaito points out how bad those rules are. Axel suggests Yuki goes but no one else seems to agree with that. Yumeka and Miyu want Mizuki to go. Axel tells them that Mizuki should rest and that Yuki should go; Yuki leaves, thinking about it. Yumeka jokes about the word "rest" and "luck" being used too much but Miyu tells her that they should start to stop using them tomorrow since it's late and they should go rest. Ayaka is tired, as well, and leaves with Miyu.

Axel, Yumeka, and Kaito are left in the living room. Axel wants to speak with Kaito privately, so Yumeka leaves. Once she's gone, Axel wonders how Kaito lost their power. Kaito jokingly replies that a bear attacked them, and Axel is not amused by this. Kaito apologizes and Axel apologizes too, since his best friend's joking is a coping method. Axel asks again and Kaito answers by saying that they got Corrupted. Axel does not understand that term and asks them to explain it, to no response. When Axel is about to ask again, Kaito throws the gem, telling Axel to catch it. Axel is caught off guard.
