Episode Title:
This Pure Heart.
Episode Description:
Ruko proves resilient to Akira's usual tactics, due to lacking a wish, and manages to win the battle against her. As Akira runs off in disgrace, she is confronted by Iona, whose LRIG, Ulith, mocks Akira's petty wish to ruin Iona's life and the cowardly means she is going to in order to achieve it. Upon learning that she had effectively lost her job in pursuit of her revenge, Akira angrily challenges Iona to a battle. The next day, Yuzuki, who feels she is growing further apart from Kazuki, is approached by a Selector named Chiyori and wins a battle against her and her LRIG, Eldora. Meanwhile, Ruko is called to meet with Hitoe's mother, who is seeking answers behind Hitoe's sudden behavior, which just leaves Ruko more conflicted over what she should do, leading her to run off.
