Turbo Granny immediately shifts the blame onto Okarun and Aira, leading the tulpas to unleash a barrage of musical attacks. Okarun and Aira activate their yokai powers to fight back, but they quickly realize this is unlike anything they’ve faced before.The notes explode on contact, forcing them into constant evasion. Things only get tougher when the tempo increases, teleporting them into a rice paddy dimension where the attack frequency becomes overwhelming. Aira manages to dodge with precision, but Okarun takes multiple hits, undoing his yokai transformation. He feels powerless at how, despite past battles, his growth is still not enough.Turbo Granny tells him to fight with rhythm, any rhythm. Okarun recalls being moved by the HAYASii song and begins syncing his movements to its beat. Just as Aira reaches her limit, Okarun jumps back in and saves her. He can now evade every note with his new rhythm, and the pair manages to take down one tulpa.Okarun and Aira face the music room tulpas (Image via Science SARU)The remaining musicians change tempo, shifting to an operatic performance that summons four giants and countless shadowy figures. Turbo Granny warns that the figures are illusions, but actually reaching the musicians proves far harder. Aira takes Okarun’s hand and uses her hair to escape, then faces the giants herself while Okarun targets the musicians.He struggles to push forward with the overwhelming number of illusions and explosive notes. He wonders how he’ll take down five targets when he can only use two full-throttles. Turbo Granny points out that he needs to move five switches per beat. Okarun goes full throttle, blitzes past the figures, and wipes out all five tulpas in a single charge.With the fight over, the group returns to the music room. Okarun thanks Aira and Turbo Granny for their help to grow stronger, even if only a little. Turbo Granny reveals the origin of the tulpas. Students' fear of the musicians’ portraits accumulated for years and gave them form, and anyone who plays piano in the room at 2 a.m. will summon them. Ironically, she then steps on the piano, calling them back again mistakenly.Okarun, Aira, and Turbo Granny (Image via Science SARU)Meanwhile, at Momo’s house, Manjiro warns Jiji that the Evil Eye must be exorcised soon before it grows too strong to control.
