### *Soukyuu no Fafner The Beyond*

Mai is aboard one of the two ships that are taking part during the Fifth Operation Azure. Mai is part of the crew who successfully take Soushi Minashiro back and she later attends a meeting regarding him. Mai serves everyone food and tells Soushi to eat as much as he likes. After returning to the island, Mai is helping out in her father's restaurant which is completely filled with customers.

Mai is at the CDC when Wadatsumijima comes under attack by Benon's army and they try to move the island towards the coordinates Soushi has given. However, the boat gets attacked directly due to Maris Excelsior and they quickly start to evacuate the place. Dylan manages to relocate them on time on a bridge near the Ashoka when the enemy arrives at the CDC. However, the enemy finds them there and the group tries to escape but to their horror, Anila Aurobindo Goshu, Shao Kishi, and Chizuru Toomi get killed by the enemy. Mai and the other survivors try to get back inside but as the door opens, there is another bike-type Festum waiting for them which causes Mai to collapse onto the ground. Thanks to Soushi's inteference, the Festum that were attacking them disappear due to Maris' power fading. In the aftermath of the battle, Mai grieves with the others when Maya Toomi is told that her mother died. Mai attends the funeral for the people who have fallen during Benon's assault where she tries to stop Mitsugu Jinnai with Saki Masaoka when he confront Soushi, wondering if he is the one giving information away to the enemy. She is later present at the CDC when the Second Plan L is executed.

Mai joins the pre-operation party with everyone else and oversees the Sixth Operation Azure at the CDC. The operation ends in their success and Mai goes to Tatsumiyajima with her father and Mitsugu, going to her father's restaurant and seeing Hiroto's poster. A month later, Mai attends the Tanabata Festival and watches the lanterns. Several days later, Mai is at the CDC when Kazuki Makabe and Kouyou Kasugai depart from Tatsumiyajima.
