## Summary

At the outskirts of Gaga one day a girl was born into a family of poor farmers. Reading stories from books she was seduced by cities and their luxuries. When she realized that her parents could not fulfill any of her wishes, she left the family. To get rich as fast as possible she became a thief. She came to lead a band of three hundred thieves, even killing in order to accumulate more and more wealth.

One day she returned to her parents carrying an infant in her arms. Evidently ill and aware that she was about to die, the woman left her daughter with them so that she would not grow up like her. After apologizing for her crimes the woman stopped breathing.
Her parents raised the girl with great love and she, knowing her mother's story, thought she would never become a bad person.

Instead of becoming someone who takes, she would have become someone who gives. However, sometimes the fear that her mother's blood was running through her veins led her to think that whoever takes from others will sooner or later lose and she too will end up like her mother. That night Ely could not sleep.

Suddenly Tokyo finds himself transported into a dream. The city of Yamato is a pile of smoking rubble and looking around he does not find anyone. Suddenly Azuma, in his Choujin form, appears in front of him and blames him for the situation, before a hail of missiles crashes near them.
Suddenly waking up, Tokyo yells "Azuma!" and realizes he's in class, causing the teacher's reaction and his friend's embarrassment.

Summer break for school starts tomorrow and Ely realizes she will have quite a few classes to catch up. Even though Tokio isn't exactly the best in his class, he still offers to help her before Azuma does too.
The boy's sudden appearance puts Ely on the defensive but he apologizes, stating that he wants to be friends with her. Ely remembers that even she could have stopped him from fighting that day when she saw him, so she owes him an apology too. The two finally make up.

In another location Ricardo and Ririka are telling Noh Mask about the battle, still battered and weak, and how they were forced to retreat.
Noh Mask seems interested in the mysterious masked Choujin, who didn't look like a beast at all and Ririka explains how he had handcuffs and that he could be a "Creator" like her.
Although the two mercenaries want their revenge on the two boys, Noh Mask decides that first they should think about their health and then they will agree on what to do.

The mysterious man calls Chandra, busy tasting a filet of beef and red wine and who does not want to be disturbed during dinner. After Noh Mask informs him of his intention to invite him to a beast hunt, Chandra jumps up and destroying his dinner declares interest in the details.

Meanwhile Tokio walks with his friend, saying he's happy that Azuma and Ely have started talking to each other. Azuma however is still disturbed from being told by Sandek that he lacks control over his powers. He's scared that he might lose his mind again and doesn't want to hurt those around him. Azuma tells him that he had a dream where Yamato was a pile of ruins and Tokyo was with him, telling him it was his fault. Azuma asks if he can kill him if he ever does anything evil.

Tokio however has different ideas, he wants to become stronger so that he can stop him if something happens in the future. He thinks his friend should become a Keeper together with him, in Yamato Mori he could learn to control his powers.
Azuma realizes that he has been blinded by envy for Tokio but that he doesn't need those feelings and wants to become a hero together with his friend.
