## Summary

The missile suit alien attacks Aira while she is still alive and tells her that she will not be able to escape like last time due to their party being able to last more than three minutes in the strong region they are in. With the missile suit alien close to her, Aira uses her hair to entangle him and replies that he will be the one to not get away. She then uses her hair to shield herself from the missile suit alien's missiles after she pointed out that his electrical attacks won't work on her. The rifle suit alien prepares to lend his assistance by targeting Aira but receives a warning, along with the vibration suit alien, that Jiji is preparing his Evil Gun. Jiji then clashes blasts with the two suit aliens and tries pushing himself after envisioning Bamora in his head, which causes the suited aliens to become impressed with his energy output and determined that he would make a good suit. Aira tries to persist on by continuously kicking the missile suit alien with only one leg. However, the latter tells her that his suit is very resilient and starts to overwhelm her with his series of attacks while also belittling her. Aira and Jiji then hear Okarun's voice through their communication devices and is informed by him that he has entered Empty Space but will need time to arrive at their location. He also relays to them Seiko's instructions to use Spiral Power against their opponents, which helps to trigger a memory Jiji had of Seiko instructing him to use Spiral Power in order to use the Evil Eye's powers with his own and manages to do so against his enemies. With the Evil Gun combined with the Evil Eye's power, Jiji manages to defeat the rifle suit alien and the vibrating suit alien. After forming her hair into a drill, Aira manages to pierce the missile suit alien's impenetrable shell, much to his surprise, and declares that she will defeat all of Bamora's enemies for her sake after envisioning her in her mind. Hearing Jiji yelling out to her to give her special attack a name, Aira names it **Pirouette Noble Drill** as she drills straight through the missile suit alien.

## Summary

Rin receives a phone call from Mai's mother asking for her to come to the audition to support Mai since she feels nervous about performing without her. Before she could reject the request, Rin hears from her grandmother telling her to go, as she wants her to live her life without regrets. Rin then ends her story explaining that Mai and her mother were killed in a car accident as they were heading over to pick her up, which she feels that she is to blame for their deaths. After hearing her story, Seiko believes that the Ombudsman is Mai and that the kintama awakened her supernatural sensitivity to feel her presence. She also warns her to not let her guard down around the Ombudsman since it was no longer the Mai she used to know. While Momo points out that she does not sense the yokai, Seiko explains that the Ombudsman is hiding and that they can only draw it out and expel it by going to the audition venue. After hiring the Hayashi, a parade float being carried by a few men, and relocating to the school, Seiko explains to Momo, Okarun, and Rin that in order to have the Hayashi exorcise the Ombudsman they will have to have Mai recollect her past life by taking a route to the accident and to the audition venue while the evil spirit's inhabiting the school become drawn to the Ombudsman's gravitational pull. After the Ombudsman appears to weigh down Rin, resulting in the school's spirits awakening, Seiko gives the order to start their route, which Okarun was not ready for after being assigned float pulling duty by Seiko. The school then becomes animated to catch them heading out.

## Appearance

The kintama are shiny gold balls estimated to be about 5 centimeters across.

## Overview

The kintama are made up of the Turbo-Granny's spirit energy membrane that gives them its golden color and harbors a powerful life force. This makes the kintama valuable items for yokai and evil spirits to possess since, in theory, they can come back to life if they collect a powerful life force.

According to the data collected by the Serpo, the kintama also have the capabilities of supplying aliens with great amounts of energy for their advanced technology.
Hayashi

The **Hayashi** (囃ハヤ
子シ
, *Hayashi*?) are musicians who exorcise evil spirits.

## Overview

Not much is known about this group, other than that they are a hayashi who take requests to ward off evil spirits through heavy metal music. They are implied to be highly recommended hayashi to hire, as Seiko credited them to Momo on their performance being genuine, though at the same time, not so much renowned to where the famous spirit medium could recognize them upon meeting.

## Commissions

Expel the Evil Eye out from Jiji
* **Status:** Cancelled

The Hayashi were hired by Seiko to help with exorcising the Evil Eye out from Jiji. In the midst of their performance, Jiji begged for them to spare the Evil Eye, having felt pity for the yokai. The performance was then cancelled by Seiko as she agreed to comply with Jiji's request.

Have the Ombudsman Rest in Peace
* **Status:** Success

The Hayashi were hired by Seiko again for assistance with realizing an Ombudsman that was bound to Rin Sawaki. While the band, Seiko, Momo, and Okarun were being carried on a dashi as an army of spirits chased after them, the Hayashi put on their musical performance to erect a barrier that would protect the dashi from the spirits as they take pass through the streets. With Rin's help as a substitute for the vocalist, after he had been knocked out, the job was a success.

## Abilities and Powers

### Supernatural Abilities

 The barrier casted by the Hayashi is shown to be strong enough to protect them against any evil spirits that targets them, as a school building animated by awakened evil spirits was shown to be incapable of bypassing its defensives with its giant hand.
 The Hayashi used their barrier to protect themselves, Momo, Okarun, Seiko, Rin, and the Dashi Carriers from an animated school building and an army of Ninomiya Kinjiro statues chasing after them on a dashi as they take a route that would rid Rin Sawaki of an Ombudsman. After the vocalists was knocked out, Rin took his place to recast the barrier.

## Trivia

* Since they aren't at least spirit sensitive, Seiko states that it would be incorrect to classify the Hayashi as spirit mediums.

The two then save the classmate from falling from the building after he is targeted by the invisible entity. As the invisible entity confronts them once again, the classmate insists on helping them by charging at the invisible entity but fails to make contact with it. However, the classmate manages to figure out the nature to the entity's invisibility and informs Momo and Okarun that they will be able to see the entity from three sides. Using her psychic powers, Momo swings herself around the side of the building to get a rough image of the invisible entity and grabs ahold of it to have Okarun charge at it at full speed, causing the entity to be knocked out of the building. The classmate receives praise from Momo for figuring out the entity's weakness and goes on to explain the principles to invisibility based on his knowledge of sci-fi.
