Episode Summary: Momo is a high school student with a unique set of talents – not only does she have an excellent sense of smell, but she can tell how people are feeling and if they have any maladies simply by licking them. Her sense of sight and her general perception are great as well. Case-in-point; she spots what she thinks are people running around a factory late one night, even though her mother can’t see any of it. Still, her biggest concerns are social in nature; with the new school year she’s in a class with none of her friends, so she aims to make some new ones.

After a rough first day she’s approached by a couple of outgoing classmates who invite her to dinner at an… unorthodox curry restaurant. It seems like her lonely school year might be shaping up into an opportunity for new friendships after all! It’s only later, after Momo finds a police-officer acquaintance held hostage by some scary-looking criminals that she discovers her new friends have something else up their sleeves – they’re members of Tsukikage, a spy organization that aims to topple the underground criminal group, Moryo. When Momo is given the choice between joining Tsukikage or having her memory erased, she chooses the former – perhaps this will be the opportunity that she’s needed to help build up her own flagging confidence.
