While Kurt is building, Yulicia confides in Sakura about her and Lieselotte's true identities and explains their decision to keep Kurt unaware of his extraordinary skills. Yulicia expresses concern that Kurt's naivety could make him vulnerable to villains, so she and others take on the responsibility of protecting both Kurt and Lieselotte.

With no supplies left to restore the barriers, Yulicia resolves to personally protect Lieselotte until Mimico arrives in a few days.

This act of healing impresses those around him and begins to reveal Kurt's hidden talents.
