Later that day, a gate to Mato suddenly opens and Yuuki is transported into the alternate dimension. He is instructed to hide and wait for the Demon Defense Force to arrive and rescue him.

While hiding, Yuuki is spotted by a Shuuki, a hostile creature from Mato. The creature chases him into a corner. Kyouka Uzen, the Commander of the Demon Defense Force 7th Squad, intervenes with her own Shuuki and uses her sword to slice down the attacking creature. As more Shuuki surround them, Kyouka and Yuuki are forced to run and continue being pursued.

Expanded Narrative Ending

The climactic sequence of Birth, Yuuki, Awakening unfolds as Yuuki and Kyouka find themselves in an increasingly desperate situation surrounded by shukki monsters. Kyouka and Yuuki spot the boy's sister running from one of the creatures. Kyouka moves to rescue her and creates a protective force field around the three of them, but as time runs out and the monsters close in, she realizes she needs additional power to save everyone.

In this critical moment, Kyouka turns to Yuuki and makes him an extraordinary offer. She tells him she can give him incredible powers to fight the shukki, but only if he becomes her slave through her unique ability. Yuuki hesitates at first, uncertain about what this commitment means, but under the pressure of the immediate danger and the lives at stake, he agrees to her terms.

The contract is enacted through a ritualistic gesture. Kyouka extends her finger toward Yuuki and he instinctively licks it. This action triggers a dramatic transformation. Yuuki's body undergoes a complete metamorphosis, expanding into a giant muscular beast form. With this newfound strength, he becomes an unstoppable force against the shukki. He uses his immense power to defeat the monsters while simultaneously carrying Kyouka and the young boy to safety. They manage to escape the immediate threat, but the shukki begin to fuse together, forming one enormous creature. However, this combined monster proves no match for Yuuki's brute strength, and he destroys it.

After the battle concludes and the immediate danger has passed, Kyouka asks the others to give them privacy. She then approaches Yuuki and kisses him. He initially resists the physical contact, but she explains that this is not something she can control. The kiss is compensation for his work as her slave, a price her ability compels her to pay. She continues to kiss him aggressively, making out with him despite his initial hesitation.

Following this intimate moment, Kyouka explains the larger context of their world to Yuuki. She tells him that the real world faces constant danger from shukki attacks coming through the gates to Mato. She expresses her personal ambition to become the Supreme Commander and lead the entire Demon Defense Force, and she makes clear that this goal will not be possible without him. She requests that he fight by her side permanently to ensure her success.

Yuuki accepts her proposal. He agrees to become her permanent slave and to live with her and the other members of the 7th Squadron. The episode concludes with Yuuki having transitioned from an ordinary high school boy struggling to find his place in the world into a key member of the Demon Defense Force, bound to Kyouka through her enslaving power. Kyouka has secured the powerful ally she needs for her ambitions. The three other members of the 7th Squadron--Himari, Shishu, and Nei--have also come to accept Yuuki's presence among them, adjusting to having a man join their previously all-female unit.
