| ShortSummary = As Shura sinks into the lake with Hachiro, she remembers the days she spent with Shiro. Meanwhile, Rin, Yukio and Shima act fast to save Shura, with Rin using his flames to burn open the multiple snake heads of the demon. Hachiro loses his grip on Shura during the assault and she attempts to escape, but the demon recaptures her. Hachiro resurfaces with Shura and confronts Rin and the others, regenerating his heads in the process. As Yukio and Shima attempt to rescue Shura, Hachiro swats Shima away and attempts to crush Yukio to death. Shura breaks free from the demon’s grasp by using her sword, saving Yukio and declaring her independence from the demon as he gets scorched by Rin’s flames. The repeated destruction and regeneration of Hachiro’s demon form causes him to [[Devolution (biology)|devolve]] into an ordinary snake in both body and mind. Shura asks the brothers to allow Hachiro to escape as reinforcements arrive by daybreak. Shura embraces the brothers for liberating her from Hachiro’s blood oath as Shima reunites with them after being knocked out during the battle. Yukio collapses from his injuries and is brought back to a hospital at True Cross by Rin and Shura.

| ShortSummary = Mephisto reveals to Shura that the Illuminati has managed to capture Hachiro. Shura threatens to harm Mephisto if he continues to meddle with the Okumura brothers. Later that night, Lightning begins his investigation into the Illuminati with Ryuji. Based on circumstantial evidence, Lightning speculates that the Japan branch of the True Cross Order is somehow directly tied to the Illuminati’s founding and the Blue Night incident. The next morning, after receiving Rin’s confession, Shiemi worries that she does not understand the difference between [[romantic love]] and [[friendship]] love. Unable to bear her confusion, Izumo suggests the two have a study sleepover and uses it as a guise to get Shiemi to read a [[Shōjo manga|”shōjo” manga]] series about romance. After reading it, Shiemi gets a better grasp at the concept of love. She rejects Rin the next morning at school, citing her inadequacy compared to others her age. Despite both having the intention of keeping their relationship as just friends, Rin takes the rejection hard and is consoled by Konekomaru. During this, Ryuji receives a phone call from Lightning. After school, Lightning takes Ryuji with him to visit the Southern Cross Boys’ Monastery, the church where the Okumura brothers were raised.
