Emi’s friend, Suzuki Rika, has a misunderstanding and thinks that Emi and Suzuno are fighting over Mao?! Rika, who is a bit excited, tags along with the two to Hatagaya, where Mao is.

First, they enter Sentucky Fried Chicken to have a strategy meeting, but they run into Ashiya, who is doing reconnaissance on the restaurant at the behest of Mao, and the situation becomes even more confounded. Due to Ashiya’s strange explanation, although satisfied for the time being on the relationship between Emi and Ashiya, Rika’s interest toward Mao increases ten-fold.
(from the official episode guide)

Mao’s archenemy Emilia, who changed her name to Emi in the human world, becomes a telephone operator at a cell phone company to make a living. A colleague of hers, Suzuki Rika, thinks her and Mao are a couple and has the misunderstanding that Mao’s next door neighbor, Kamazuki Suzuno, is trying to steal him away from her. As if to solve this problem, Rika accompanies Emi and Suzuno to where Mao works.

Furthermore, they run into Mao’s right-hand man, Ashiya, who also jumps into the ring. Contrary to the expectation of the discussion becoming even more complicated, Ashiya enlivens the talk with his quick wit and is successful in convincing Rika that there is nothing going on between Emi and Mao.

Nevertheless, her interest in Mao rapidly increases. Contrary to this interest, a scene in which she gets red in the face over Ashiya can be seen. She thinks that Mao has the overflowing ability to inspire the goodwill of women. Before they take over the world, Mao and the rest will take hold of the feelings of women in no time.
