Kiroumaru finds Saki and informs her that Satoru is slightly injured while they were separated. Kiroumaru then decides that they should lure the Ogre and counterattack. Satoru and Saki wait in a tunnel as Kiroumaru leaves to lure the Ogre. As the Ogre enters the tunnel, Saki sets a mirror in front of her. She looks confused momentarily and then screams and tries to attack them. To protect Saki, Satoru ends up throwing the Psychobuster at the Ogre, but Saki incinerates the Psychobuster with fire before it can infect both the Ogre and Satoru, as she could not bear to lose her last remaining close friend. Failing to defeat the Ogre, Kiroumaru appears and quickly distracts the Ogre as they escape. They hide in a corner in the tunnels as they anticipate Yakomaru's next move. Yakomaru offers to negotiate with Saki's group but his true motive is to discover their position through their voices. The Ogre passes by them while hiding. Saki remembers what Shun said subconsciously, that the child may not be an Ogre. Saki then realizes that they had a way to defeat the Ogre all along.
