Meanwhile, Karin, who hasn't been affected since she didn't use the Mankai form, has been avoiding going to the clubroom, as she fears she no longer has any purpose now that the Vertex are gone. However, Yuna manages to find her and convince her that, even with no-one to fight, the Hero Club will still carry on like it always has.

When the forest disappears, Yuna and Mimori end up separated from the others, having been summoned by a hospitalized girl, who reveals herself to be a former hero named Sonoko Nogi. Sonoko reveals to them the secret of the Hero System, in which heroes permanently lose the use of a bodily function in exchange for the power granted by the Mankai form, further revealing that heroes are effectively sacrifices to Shinju who can never die.

The next day, however, Mimori reveals to Yuna and Fu that their fairies were actually created to prevent them from dying, even by suicide, proving that everything Sonoko said to them was true and that their symptoms are permanent. This leads Fu to become distressed, knowing that Itsuki's voice will never return and she will never achieve her dream of becoming a singer. Angered by having gotten everyone involved, Fu seeks to destroy the Taisha, even preparing to battle her way through Karin to this end.
