Robin stares at her reflection in the mirror. She recognizes that she is now considered a witch and will be hunted. She knows what Amon is thinking... Suddenly, the little girl she babysat in episode 17, Minori Yoshida, comes up behind her and asks Robin to eat Takoyaki with her. The girl runs off and disappears, as Robin vows to live as a witch.
Nagira has been investigating the immigration patterns into Japan searching for clues to Amon's whereabouts, but to no luck.
Zazen is at STN-J lab headquarters when new information about Amon comes in. His wound was treated at Solomon Headquarters, but rumor has it that his wounds have completely recovered. He might be back in Japan now and siding with Headquarters. Zazen seems worried, but not too worried because he hadn't confided any confidential information to him. The Orbo Project has been continuing as planned.
Robin is trying to understand the magnitude of her situation. Sastre won't be the last hunter sent after her, so how can she fight them off? As she wonders, Methuselah appears to her and tells her that the answer lies within her. Robin replies that she knows.
Amon learns that the next hunter is now in Japan, an Earth craft user.
At STN-J, everyone is in a drab mood. Michael also learns about the new hunter and realizes that the hunter is probably out to hunt Robin. They wonder why they weren't contacted about it, but realize that if they were invited to share information, they'd probably be responsible for the hunt too. None of them are ready for that. Karasuma believes that Amon and Robin are on opposite sides now. Sakaki can't understand why Amon doesn't show up for work anymore.
The earth hunter has been leaving runes in several locations. Nagira has been trying to dig up information on Amon. As Robin walks home, Nagira greets her and the two eat dinner together. Robin tells him about her problems and her plan to evade them. Nagira tells her that she's changed. She now knows what has to be done and what she must do. Nagira suggests asking STN-J for help since she already knows that she will be hunted again. She's embarrassed because they saw her kill a hunter in front of them, but Nagira assures her that they will still help her.
Nagira learns that Amon entered the country with his own name. He's been using his own bank account, as if he's trying to tell Nagira where he is. He can't figure out why Amon is trying to lead him to him.
Amon is tracking the hunter. The hunter sits alone in the part staring at a rune in the shape of pi and coughing. Michael is still trying to dig up information.
Robin heads out on her bike and runs over one of the runes the hunter placed. It starts glowing and signals him. Robin heads down to STN-J to talk to Michael. She asks him about hunters from Headquarters. He asked if she's going to fight them. She tells him that she hasn't changed, but Headquarters labels her as a witch now because she learned the Ultimate Technique. Michael tells her that Headquarters did indeed send them information on the hunter, which is a bit strange. Robin recognizes that it wasn't Headquarters but Amon who sent the heads up.
Amon has been following the hunter. As Robin leaves, she crosses his path. The hunter doesn't appear well and continues coughing as he stands over his rune. He attacks and tries to bind Robin in a circle. He then uses her fire power against her. He tells her the circle sigil is an eternal maze that deludes people forever with an endless shadow. The rune, hagalaz, is in the center. He then attacks and Robin and appears to disintegrate before her eyes as she thinks the earth is about to cave in. In real time, Amon watches as Robin stands motionless, mesmerized by the Ogham's barrier, and the hunter walks closer to her.
Meanwhile, Robin is fighting fire and earth as it tumbles atop her. She suddenly realizes that it is an illusion and uses her power to find the hunter's presence. He appears before her and attempts to strangle her but she breaks free and sends a gush of fire at him, which engulfs and kills him. Amon leaves without letting Robin know he was there watching & makes reference to his "big brother."
