Stinger Removal with Kuga-kun The two islanders who accompanied Shiori’s parents, Makado and Komaki, return to annul the engagement, which involves using forceps made from island meteorite, known as Yobi, to remove the stinger inside Ichiro. Makado warns Ichiro his love might be caused by the stinger and disappear once it is removed. Komaki, who has long had a crush on Shiori, reveals a piece of Yobi, allowing Shiori to use her psychic powers again, but Shiori insists she will not go home. Shiori has bad dreams as she also fears Ichiro’s love might disappear. Komaki hopes once the engagement is over Shiori will return to the island and possibly choose him to be her husband. During the ceremony Ichiro drinks island sake, causing the stinger to emerge from his brain. Shiori sadly grabs it, causing Ichiro to flashback all the reasons he loves her, but he is too late and the stinger is extracted. Ichiro feels their bond vanish; almost breaking his heart, but is relieved he still loves her. Shiori is tearfully relieved Ichiro need never be hurt by the bond again. An upset Komaki is dragged away by Makado, who is also relieved their love survived the annulment.
