Figure 17: Tsubasa & Hikaru EP12 - Will the Memories Remain?

D.D. and Orudina examine Hikaru and find no abnormalities, but because no Ribers has ever taken a permanent humanoid form, D.D. installs a pulse monitor in Hikaru's right hand for further observation. Hideo tells the twins that he will open a branch of the Ibaragi bakery in Tokyo, meaning that the Shiina family will have to leave Hokkaido in the spring. Tsubasa becomes very concerned with Hikaru, feeling she has been avoiding her lately. She then feels that Hikaru will leave Earth with D.D. and Orudina once their mission is accomplished. During class, Hikaru once again experiences a blackout and asks Tsubasa to do their research presentation for her. As Tsubasa builds up her confidence, Hikaru's pulse rate stabilizes. Hikaru admits to Tsubasa that they must part ways once all of the Maguars are eliminated. Meanwhile, Kuroda arrives at an abandoned coal mine after receiving a lead on his investigation.
