Mahiru sure doesn't disappoint.
Plenty of Mahiru goodness in the next chapter.
Spoiler for Ch. 59:
Kirio attacks with everything he's got, but Mahiru simply blocks it.
With 1 attack from Takemikazuchi, Mahiru kicks Amaterasu's ass, forcing it into another cocoon stage.
Who could expect Mahiru's performance with Takemikazuchi would put everyone else to shame?
Meanwhile, Kyouhei takes initiative to embrace his badass side.
He takes control of Shion's Kamotaketsuno, unlocks its special mode instantly (according to Moyako, this would take the technicians 3 days of adjustments), and takes off with Hibino towards the battlefield.
