Today, Mika comes face to face with a fierce female giant in a narrow gorge but struggles to overpower it. Despite her relentless efforts, Leblanc eventually commands her to withdraw, leaving Mika with no choice but to comply. Just before fleeing, Mika triggers a rockslide around the giant to buy them more time.
Back at their covert base, in a bid to find support for Mika, Leblanc proposes locating her former pupil, another skilled pilot known as Yui Shizuku. Learning that Yui had gone absent without official leave taking the cutting-edge prototype equipment causes Mika astonishment. Upon questioning Leblanc about Yui's motives, the answers remain cryptic as always.
However, with little time to dwell on it, Mika hurries to the place where Yui was rumored to be, a disorderly junkyard. Arriving there, Mika discovers Yui amidst the debris and attempts to enlist her aid, only to face refusal. Yui indicates that appearances can be deceiving and questions the trustworthiness of Leblanc and everyone else, especially Mika, displaying reluctance to lend any help.
Mika is taken aback by Yui's aloofness but formulates a plan. She challenges Yui to a sensual duel, ensuring that if she emerges triumphant, Yui must align with their cause. As Yui agrees, approaching with a fervent gaze, will Mika be victorious in this titillating confrontation?.
