Synopsis
A mysterious figure is carrying out kidnappings for an unknown purpose. The Busters face a being they have never seen.

Plot
It's almost night at an amusement park. Magatsuhi seems to have cornered a woman and uses his limbs to pin her against a wall while constantly asking her if she's about to cry or if she's hurting her, only to end up crying while saying a few words. unintelligible words.

The Sagako Busters group is ready to return to action after a month of recovery. Eikichi says goodbye to his family and assures them that they will be fine. Meanwhile, the media talks about mysterious disappearances in the prefecture, and criminal activity is suspected. The Busters arrive at a temporary motel where they go through the newspaper articles to find out what happened to the giant spider after the battle with Tae. While Anna finds an article talking about Higashino, Eikichi manages to find an article that talks about a mysterious giant spider near Takeo, and now the group heads towards this area. Without the van they used previously, they are forced to ask for transportation to a nearby location. Upon arrival, Tae sets up the place as her temporary headquarters while the rest of the team splits up and Eikichi goes to the bathroom. Magatsuhi appears behind Hanako, who mistakes her for a lost kid and offers to help her search for what she says she lost, which Hanako interprets as her family, after which Hanako mysteriously disappears. Hours later, they try to contact Hanako since she disappeared and does not answer the radio, so Tae and Eikichi are left alone on the top of the mountain while Anna looks for Hakase. Anna finally meets Magatsuhi on the road, attempting to help a little kid. She asks her to stop for a moment, but suddenly she is attacked by Magatsuhi and although she tries to defend herself with what she has, she is seriously injured for this being. With nothing going for her, she laments going on her own after the little Sagakos stopped showing up.

With only two members left, Eikichi and Tae break the ice between the two and are finally able to have a normal conversation. Tae, who has been in Saga all her life, barely knows Saga despite her years as Sagako Busters and traveling around the prefecture, but who is she besides being someone from Saga? Eikichi previously dreamed of being a professional in some sport, so he constantly played baseball until he injured his shoulder one day while playing dodgeball. Tae just laughs at the absurdity of the situation, making Eikichi blush, who asks about Tae's dream in response. Inspired by Junko Konno, what Tae wanted to do is a group of idols together with Yuko as Junko did, since it would look very cool and cute, Eikcihi only bursts into laughter hearing something so absurd and that her sister also had the same dream, which earns him a beating from Tae. At the same time, the radio reports that more women have gone missing in the area, causing both of them to go on high alert and start to worry about Anna and Hanako.
