Summary
As Kido told Momo about the meeting at 1 pm, Momo confused her as someone associated with her manager. Momo explained that she no longer is doing her job and Kido confused her explanation as if she refused to be a member of Mekakushi Dan. The two girls went a building with the number 107 inscribed on the door, which apparently is the Mekakushi Dan's base. Momo did not recognize that place for she thought she was heading to a studio. Kido woke Kano up as he slept on the couch with a magazine on his face. She said to him that she brought Momo here, the one Kano predicted as a new member. Kano pretended to fall asleep and Kido was irritated for his laziness. Kano grinned at Momo and explained to her about the Mekakushi Dan and its purpose. The objective was to elude the police, infiltrate dangerous facilities, and borrow various things. Also, he introduced the base and Kido. Before Kano continues, Momo interrupted, complained about her current status, and said she quit of being an idol. Kido was anxious when Momo said that she was an idol. Kano explained to her that Momo is the latest popular super idol. He showed Kido the magazine, featuring a photo of Momo looking tiresome. She thought back that she was half-awake when the company took that photo. Kido, overreacted, complained to Kano that they were should to find a new member. He said that it was a lie since Kido listened to her music and did not respond. The situation became a mess-up. When Kido was about to let Momo leave, she quickly turned to Kano as he was responsible for explaining to Momo everything about Mekakushi Dan and they cannot let her go now. As Kano was calmly relaxed, Kido whacked his head and then, looking blushed, she turned to Momo. She eventually thought that those two are not really bad people and introduced herself.

After that, Kano said to Momo that she was an amazing power and it was so abnormal for her to draw everyone's attentions at her. He proposed that she should stay awhile and control her power. When Kano thought back of Kido worrying about her power, she interrupted by stabbing him. While Momo was confused about 'taking care of it', Mary peeked at everyone from her door. Then she quickly shut her door out of shyness. Kido convince her to come over and met Momo. When finally Mary came out of her room, she seemed to be extremely nervous and was self motivating herself that everything is okay. She was lost and swayed away after her introduction to Momo. They are sat down, continuing the previous discussion, Kido left the living room. After Mary begins to prepare tea, Kido suddenly appear on the sofa instantly. Kano explained that Kido and Momo's powers are opposite: Momo draws attention while Kido hides from attention. He declared that it was the "Eye Concealment" ability. Then, Momo was strongly dedicated to be cure from her power and be able to control it. She wanted to join the Mekakushi Dan even though she mispronounced it. So, Kido smiled and said that Momo will take care of them. Later, she took out her cell phone and received missed calls from the company. She texted her resignation and before she decide on what should she do, Mary came back, tripped somehow, and spilled all the tea to Momo; there were cups shattered on the ground, one of them was in ownership of Mary's mother. While Mary apologized many times and get a rag, Momo accidentally sent the garbled text to the company. Mary tripped again and the rag splat at Momo's head. It was all silent; however, Momo had experienced feelings that she never encountered before and was glad to be part of the Mekakushi Dan.

Because of that accident, Momo's phone was completely broken. While Kido and Mary argued how she messed up, Kano suggested Ishifuro Transport for Mary to conpensate. When he teased and pressured her, Mary's eyes glowed and she used her "Eye Contact" ability at Kano. Momo was surprised when he cannot move. Kido explained that Mary's power can frozen people like stone. She minded to throw Kano throw and Mary agreed grimly. Before that could happen, Kano returned, said that Kido was hugging him, and was kicked. Momo resumed the question about Mary and Kido answered that she was a descendant of Medusa. She said that when Mary was a child, her parent told her that they were medusae. Her mother, Shion, actually had the power to turn people into stone while Mary had a weaker version, paralyzing movement. Momo could not believe that Mary was not human and Kido questioned her that if she hate you now since she knew that Mary is part Medusa. She answered no and that she wanted to be her friend. Kido smiled as everyone headed out to buy a new cup and cell phone. While walking, Momo could not believe that nobody noticed her. Kido had her eye ability active. As she said that the limit is two meters around herself, Mary cling onto Kido for she was extremely scared despite the Concealment. Suddenly, Momo noticed that her older brother, Shintaro, was actually outside after two years. She absolutely doubted that it was him. However, Momo followed and the group was heading to the electronics building where the story has more details than before.
