In episode 12, Shikoku fights Kyouka and Yuuki with Kidomaru, the unihorn shuuki who was once Aoba Wakura's pet companion.

Kidomaru not only attacked Aoba but also provided an opportunity for Jouryuu to grab Coco and Naon and bring them to their headquarters.

As much as Aoba wants to save them, she lacks the power to pursue Jouryuu and fight her one-on-one.

After all, Aoba just faced Kyouka, and she doesn't have much energy left to face another formidable opponent.

Following the encounter, Coco and Naon were shown unconscious as Jouryuu, Shikoku, and Rairen discussed how they would be fed to Kuusetsu.

Afterward, Kuusetsu appears in an egg-like form with two legs and wings.

According to Rairen, Kuusetsu will absorb Coco and Naon, who will both act as the god's permanent batteries, much to everyone's delight.

No, Coco and Naon are still alive despite everything that has happened to them, as shown in the Chained Soldier manga series, particularly during the Battle of Yokohama.

Kuusetsu was able to absorb and reflect Coco and Naon's personalities, but Yuuki and Kyouka used a unique method to penetrate Kuusetsu's body, liberating Coco and Naon.

Of course, Coco and Naon needed time to heal from the time they spent within Kuusetsu, so they were sent back to one of the hybrids' hidden communities.

They later welcome Yuuki, who visits them to ask about their well-being.

According to Coco and Naon, their bodies are still sluggish, but they are fine, so Yuuki has nothing to worry about. Yuuki then makes a bold attempt to massage Coco and Naon to reenergize their bodies.
