Synopsis
In Viridis Parus Hotel, Twenty-Fifth Baam is surprised by The Serpent Master, who entered through the bathroom before engulfing Baam in snakes.

Meanwhile, the battle between Androssi Zahard and Lo Po Bia Lilial Zahard continues, with Lilial trying to ask Androssi a question, but Androssi sees it as stalling and hits Lilial in the face instead. Lilial insists that she does want to ask Androssi something, which Androssi responds that Lilial can beg for the answer on her knees when she loses the fight before attacking her with some Shinsu blasts. Lilial bemoans that Androssi is difficult to talk to before asking the question anyway, while dodging all of Androssi's attacks. Lilial's question is why Androssi, who is one of Zahard's Princesses, would fall for the slayer candidate Baam. Androssi closes the distance and engages in close combat before answering that Baam gave her grilled eel and rice, which was the first meal that she had enjoyed and that food tastes better with Baam. Lilial finds the reason to be silly, which Androssi responds by telling Lilial that she needs to go out and meet more people and find a boyfriend, but Lilial says she do not want to do such pointless things. However, Lilial is in fact stalling for time, since she has an animal that is sneaking behind Androssi going for the kill. Androssi wants to ask her own question, which Lilial agrees to due to her stalling tactic, with the question being what the relation between Lilial and the snakes is. Lilial first answers playfully that the snakes are male are likely drawn to her beauty, but after a retort by Androssi she gives the true answer that the snakes knows Lilial's mother and Baam kidnapped her. Androssi remembers that Baam mentioned kidnapping someone, which she reveals to Lilial, but Lilial doubts her in the beginning due to her mother's status, though when Androssi mentions that her name is Lo Po Bia Laura Lilial freaks out and asks where her mother is. Lilial demands to be taken to Baam, so he can take her to Laura, but Androssi tries to bodyslam Lilial while asking why she should help Lilial. Lilial dodges the attacks of Androssi before calling off the attack by her animal, since Lilial needs the Bong Bong to find Baam. Lilial ends the fight by mentioning she sent the snakes after Baam and that he may be in danger before asking if Androssi will help now, which Androssi responds by yelling "What the hell is wrong with you?!".

Back to Baam, the serpent master has bound Baam with his snakes, but Baam yells "Laura!", which gets the attention of the serpent master, before telling the serpent master that only he knows the location of Laura and he erased the tracks leading to her room using shinsu, so it would be difficult to find without Baam's help. The serpent master gathers into his humanoid form before asking Baam of Laura's location at the threat of death, which Baam agrees to answer on the condition that they will wait until the Light Ball turns on and that the serpent master need to tell Baam why he wants to see Laura. The serpent master finds Baam's demands too unreasonable and decides to forcefully extract the information from Baam before killing him, which Baam responds by forming a Shinsu Orb and increasing the shinsu density within the room. The higher density makes the snakes move slower, which allows for Baam to more easily slash them with his Red Thryssa Transformation. The serpent master admits that Baam is no ordinary Regular and decides to switch tactics, which he does by forming snakes into spikes that he tries to skewer Baam with. Baam dodges the attack, but needs something else to deal with the snakes going for him, so Baam activates Red Thryssa Sword (Stage 3) and Blue Thryssa Blue Shield (Stage 3) to both defend against the attacks and go on the offensive. Baam charges at the serpent master, which the serpent master tries to stop with his snake spikes, but Baam blocks the attack with Blue Thryssa: Shinsu Barrier and cuts the serpent master up on his left side. Baam follows up the attack by targeting the damaged side and going past the serpent master's defenses and putting the Red Thryssa sword against the throat of the serpent master, before asking him why he wants to see Laura.

Meanwhile, Androssi and Lilial goes back to the Banquet Hall and sees the corpse of a blonde man with blue shoes, but they are not aware who it is so they decide to investigate further. They move towards the corpse, when parts of the leech speaks to the princess, telling them that he is Lo Po Bia Ren and Baam defeated him, which shocks Lilial since Ren is part of Zahard's Personal Guards.
