Plot
It is the summer of 1989 and a mysterious man comes walking down the road towards Saga singing the famous English song "humpty dumpty" and exclaiming that Saga is an empty place.

In Karatsu City, Anna and Eikichi search for a Sagako that MJ indicated was southeast of Saga, but since Jofuku's Sagako detector sucks, neither of them can locate Sagako. As they both talk about the frequency of curses on Saga lately, Anna spots Keiji at the city's train station and quickly makes Eikichi look away telling him that there are aliens, with Eikichi being distracted by the aliens, she follows Keiji until he reaches a sanctuary where he disappears for a time making Anna think that she has lost him, but he suddenly appears behind her, grabbing her hands and telling her that he is delighted to see her after a long time.

Sometime later, Eikichi searches for Anna, the "aliens", and the Sagako they were originally looking for. Back at the mansion, he tells Hanako and Tae about her sudden disappearance and, although they initially think she went to work at one of her part-time jobs, they quickly begin to question who she really is as she arrived at the mansion looking for a job. She work part-time and although neither of them fully understood her past, they accepted her anyway. Before Anna there were other aspirants who according to Hanako were completely useless and did not help them at all, a self-proclaimed fortune teller, a medium and a occultism maniac, all of them old women who could not do anything in real battles, Anna, on the other hand, knew quickly adapting to the situation and Hanako's style and tools, as well as being the first new member to last longer than 3 days. At that time, Tae got angry very easily and MJ didn't know why, Tae responded to Hanako by telling her to continue doing experiments on humans, which made Eikichi feel uncomfortable as he was the guinea pig of the group, Anna has had many part time jobs since she joined the group and Busters activities were just another job for her. In a flashback from the past we see Anna joining the group for the first time and quickly buying into MJ's speech and surprising the others for their tranquility when accepting the job since it offers a place to sleep and free food, for her, reality can surpass fiction and with a smile on her face she joins the group, accepting with enthusiasm.

Back with the Anna of the present, Keiji and she are in an alley talking about some event in the past where Keiji reveals that Anna was a thief and he was the detective who was with her, Anna came to Saga fleeing from guilt and looking for a normal life on the path of justice to later join the Busters and fight against the outbreak of Sagako that symbolizes the end of Saga and only a group of beauties can defeat them. Confused, Keiji asks her if she has lost her mind and she points her finger at the end of the alley where a spider-shaped Sagako appears scaring the detective, but before Anna can seal it with onions Keiji takes out his gun and shoots the Sagako incapacitating him, before Anna can say anything Keiji aims his gun at Anna's back, expecting some responses from her. Without Anna back after a day of disappearance the group begins to worry about her, Jofuku uses an ancient eastern proverb to do not chase those who leave, and do not refuse those who come. A Sagako has appeared on the shores of Saga and without Anna they will have to fight without the work of the group, in the place of the Sagako they see a multitude of goby eels with the real body inside the agglomeration and the three think in different ways of defeat Sagako but none of them agree and when they go to fight, their lack of planning causes them to fail quickly and Hanako spills salt everywhere becase she think that since the Sagako had a mollusk texture it would be affected, Tae replies that the eels They are not affected by the salt starting an argument with Hanako, Eikichi tries to calm the situation but is beaten by the girls.

In another flashback from the past Anna interrupts a discussion between the two girls about how to get Sagako off a wall without knocking it down, Anna proposes to think like Sagako and decides to use tickling to get it off the wall.
