The next day, during his morning run, Seiji encounters a Newspaper Saiark being led by another one of Queen Mirage's commanders, Hoshiiwa. Arriving on the scene to find Seiji beating up by the Choiark, Megumi and Hime choose to transform in front of him to protect him.

Megumi tries to get Hime to make friends with Yuko, but she becomes too afraid and turns away from her. Whilst lamenting her actions alone in the gym storage, Hime meets a teacher having his own worries about his students not listening to him.

After having pancakes with Megumi and her mother, Hime laments how her parents were trapped inside mirrors by the Phantom Empire, whilst Megumi tells her how she wants to help out her mother, who has a weak body, citing her as the reason she loves helping others. Hosshiiwa takes advantage of Megumi's helping nature to lure her and Hime into a trap, attacking them with a Mole Saiark. As Hosshiiwa passes off Megumi's desire to help others as self-satisfaction, Hime stands by her side, believing in the genuine good feelings from helping others, and manages to break them free from the Saiark and defeat it. Afterwards, Megumi gives Hime her thanks for standing by her beliefs.
