The captains give the newbies their off-pass. Subara x Tiia and Elio x Caro go on their respective "dates" respectively. However, there are ominous signs in the politics of the TSAB, Ginga’s discovery of a biological (cloning?) pod amid another gadget raid and the arrival of another loli, via the sewers, chained to relic cases.
Unexpected fan service with Subaru’s sexu hara method of waking up sleepy head Tiia. I must confess grimacing though. Partly because how I felt bad for Tiia, whom I now firmly think is attracted to Subaru, because she probably doesn’t mind being felt up by Subaru but that she’d want a different mode of intentionality from Subaru who’s just being thoughtlessly playful. The other thought that occurred to me was: ‘Ah, characters voiced by Mai Nakamura Nakahara [Thanks, Ivy!] should be busty. There’s just a bustiness about her voice.’ orz
