## Summary

At Gekko meeting, Supreme Leader Bosslar presents the Princess Series monthly reports. Evaluating them on combat outcomes, negative energy accumulation, drive, enthusiasm, et cetera, Bosslar reveals that Bear's team with Reaper Princess is first again by a landslide. He states that Reaper Princess is a role model for evil and beating Gelato Red almost to death earned her big points. Beast Princess, Kiki, gets angry for Desumi beating her each time. Desumi tells her to calm down and offers her Bosslar doll award, but Kiki smashes it to the ground, not wanting it and leaves.

At the cafeteria, Kiki is still angry, promising to beat Desumi next time. Steel Princess, Kyoko, isn't sure that will happen, but Kiki tells her to shut up as she was in last place. Desumi overhears them, realizing that Kiki has some sort of grudge against her and hates loosing, while Kyoko exists in her own little world and is uncompetitive. Kyoko tells Kiki that she had fallen in love, but Kiki isn't interested, however, Desumi quickly jumps in, wanting to learn more. Kyoko reveals that the person she loves is wild, but understanding, however, its a co-worker. Kiki states then its off-limits and she needs to forget about it, but Desumi totally understands her and wants to support her. Kyoko wants to confess to the person, but fears that she doesn't have good qualities and the person won't return her feelings. Desumi decides to help her and develop her femininity.

Desumi calls Kyoko and Kiki and asks them to do pilates, but Kyoko struggles with it. Next, she wants to see her cooking skills, but gets shocked as the food she prepared looked like deadly poison. They proceed to do other exercises, but Kyoko fails in all of them and decides to give up as this proved she is worthless. Later, Culverin Bear's team face Gelato 5 and Desumi tells Fudo about Kyoko's situation, and ended up hurting her while trying to help her. She asks Fudo what he expects out of his loved one, but Fudo states nothing and just having Desumi by his side is enough, as he likes her the way she is. Desumi feels embarrassed, but also lucky to have him.

Desumi and Kiki visit Kyoko in her room and see she had closed herself in her Iron Labyrinth. Kiki explains that when she gets like this, she refuses to move and is dangerous to approach her. Desumi breaks one of the iron spikes, which activates the counterattack of Kyoko's shell system, which shoots more iron spikes. Desumi states she was wrong and Kyoko didn't need to change as she is fine the way she is. With Kiki's assist, Desumi reaches Kyoko, who then thanks them and states they had given her the courage. Kyoko then removes her shell, revealing to have a large bust, which makes Kiki jealous and angry, and hoping that the person will blow Kyoko off. Kyoko then goes and confesses to Culverin Bear, who returns her feelings.

Culverin Bear buys some food for Catapult Snake and asks for a favor, to borrow Steel Princess. Snake agrees, but wonders if Bear would be okay as Steel is quite stupid, but that angers Bear who starts yelling at Snake. Bear's team along with Steel fight Gelato 5, who are surprised to see Steel there as she belongs to a different team. Having a harder time than usual, Hayato decides to go and call Fudo back from the building he entered to fight Reaper, but Haru stands in his way, saying that Fudo isn't in the building and if he wants to enter, he will have to fight her. Hayato then gives up and returns to fight Bear, and Haru follows him after Fudo and Desumi thank her. Desumi brings out a bento lunch she made. Happy, Fudo prepares to eat it, but Desumi stops him, saying she heard that couples are supposed to feed each other. Fudo had heard the same and they agree to do it. Desumi prepares to feed him some food, but moment before it reaches his mouth, Fudo feels sudden pain in his stomach. Barely standing, he wants to proceed, but then looses consciousness.

Fudo spends three days in the hospital due to appendicitis. He receives a flower basket by Gekko, with Bosslar wishing him fast recovery as he only wants Fudo to die by their hands. Misaki had peeled an apple and asks Fudo if he wants. Fudo agrees, but while she tries to give him a piece, Fudo realizes that she will be feeding him and wanting Desumi to be the first woman that feeds him, he closes his mouth and refuses to eat it. Haru figures it and jumps in an eats the apple. His mother then visit him and almost ends up feeding him an apple as well. Desumi then visits him, sharing that she heard he is getting released tomorrow and she wanted to see him in unusual situation. She sees him planning to lift weights and warns him he will break his stitches, but Fudo explains he won't die until she feeds him. Desumi then takes the apples and feeds him, making the situation quite tense and romantic, but his mother then returns to tell Fudo that his father will pick him up tomorrow. Seeing Desumi, she assumes she is friends on his and explains they need more players for volleyball game and takes Desumi with her.

At the game, Desumi helps them win. Afterwards, she agrees for them to call her again if they need more players. Fudo's mother then apologizes for earlier and reveals she knew Desumi was feeding Fudo. Desumi gets embarrassed, but she tells her to not be shy and that she did the same with her husband back in the day. Fudo's mother states that she used to be quite beautiful when she was younger and shows a picture of her with baby Fudo. Desumi finds Fudo cute, but the mother assumes she meant her.
