Episode Title:
The Immortal Order
Episode Description:
Hoping to make contact with the Immortal Order, Kiruko creates a sign offering to kill man-eaters and a doctor orders that they be brought before him. However, they are approached by a group calling themselves the Liviuman, who are led by Mizuhashi. They oppose the inhuman experiments by the Immortal Order which blur the boundary between what is human and machine. Maru and Kiruko accept the contract to kill the man-eater rumored to be kept in the Immortal Order building. They enter the basement while members of Liviuman hold a demonstration outside. However, Maru suspects that they are being set up again. They find a number of small dormant Hiruko which Maru easily kills, but then Kiruko is hypnotized by a large one. She has visions of being overwhelmed and devoured until Maru brings her to her senses by kissing her. They are then met by a man wearing an eye patch who says he is Dr. Usami and he asks for their help.
