It was good that we finally got to see some good Rio+Rina moments
Especially the bath scene was lovely
That obaa-san who is Howards opponent finally revealed her nasty plan to bring down Rio with consecutive gate battles.
With the second one, she got lucky that Linda had one of her many malfunctions (they should really scrap her
), so Rio could win inspite of her opponent's foul play.
We also get to know that Linda was hacked yet again so that the obaa-san could take over the navigation.
As if all that isn't enough, poor Rio can't even catch a breath in between... the tentacle scene was still harmless compared to the ugly nightmare she had about Rina turning against her
Next episode, Rio had to do yet another gate battle to get Rina free, and she's already seriously exhausted... I wonder how that will go.
