Shin finds the bathroom destroyed and Noi missing, only to be incapacitated with sniper-fired sedatives by Baku's accomplice, Yaku. Caiman is accidentally injured by both Baku and Yaku, prompting Tanba to pick a fight with them. Caiman causes Baku to accidentally self-destruct by cutting off his detonation hand, while Fukuyama reveals his magic skill by turning Yaku into a giant meat pie, the group unknowingly saving Shin in the process. Elsewhere, Risu breaks into the Blue Night Festival to steal stored smoke, only to find Baku's magic-inhibiting chest containing Noi. Opening the door and unwittingly freeing Noi, her healing magic immediately triggers and floods the room, also regrowing Risu's original body in the process. A flashback shows how Shin and Noi met a decade ago: a homeless Shin, his limp arms now rotting, is challenged to a fair fight for stealing food by En's cousin, revealed to be Noi. Shin's arms are healed and he strikes her with his claw hammer, fleeing while yelling he'll pay her back. Shin is shortly hired as En's cleaner and quickly becomes friends with Noi, who is undergoing grueling training to ascend into a demon; her final exam requires full magic abstinence for a year. As Blue Night approaches Shin and Noi are attacked by Baku and Yaku, with Shin victorious but fatally injured; Shin considers his debt repaid, but Noi immediately fails her exam to save his life. Hiring Noi as Shin's understudy, En pushes them into a contract partnership. In the present, Noi finally locates Shin's unconscious body in time to renew their contracts before Blue Night ends. Fujita admits he's devastated that he couldn't find his only partnership applicant, only to realize it was Ebisu from her bashful response. En discovers Nikaido was also the pawn shop attacker and that her magic could be the rumored time control power he is seeking. En creates a voodoo doll of Nikaido, causing her to collapse at Vaux's birthday party as a huge mushroom familiar bursts from her mushroom scar. (Source: Wikipedia)
