The Test Begins In Heaven, Tokio gives birth and the Director discusses with Sawatari the possibility that the child of the two "children" may be able to resist the incurable disease which eventually effects all the children produced by Mina. As the Director is in her 80s, she plans to have her brain transplanted into the much younger Deputy Director, Aoshima, to see her plans through to fruition. Meanwhile in Hell, Maru and Kiruko continue their journey in Juichi's van. At night, they see smoke in the distance and decide to investigate the next day. Back in Heaven, Mimihime befriends a lonely young girl named Ohma. However, when she removes Ohma's sunglasses, Mimihime experiences a terrible nightmare. The children are later gathered together and informed that they will all be undertaking a test which will require them to "reach the outside of the outside" in their role as Hiruko.
