Summary
Kusuo looks at the statue of Riki, and comments that the world's ugliest statue has been created. Kuniharu enters the toilet and sees the statue. He thought Kusuo had made the statue, and was impressed. Kusuo took Kuniharu's glasses so that he could seal his Petrification Powers before explaining the problem to his father. After understanding the situation, Kuniharu observes the statue and accidentally breaks it into pieces. Kusuo quickly turns back time on the statue to revert it back to its original state. Midori suddenly bursts into the toilet upon hearing the loud noise caused by the statue breaking. She saw the statue, and as it looked exactly like her son, she was impressed by how "well made" it was. She was unaware that the statue was her son. They were forced to carry the statue to the rocks exhibition as Midori thought that the statue was made for the rocks exhibition Riki had told her about. The principal was also impressed with the statue and awards the winner for the PK Fest to Class 2-∭. The students gather around the statue and some started to punch and touch its face, stressing Kusuo out as he feared that the statue would break and cause Riki to die. Kuniharu rushes forward and yelled at the students not to touch the statue, but was misunderstood as a weird man and was dragged away by teachers. Yuuta climbed onto the statue and started punching and pulling at the statue's ear. Kusuo panics and demands Yuuta to get off. Yuuta ignores Kusuo's warning and continues playing on the statue, causing it to fall so suddenly that Kusuo did not even have time to use his powers to stop it. He had no choice but to cushion its fall with his body. He manages to successfully stop the statue from breaking, but now his classmates learned that Kusuo had "made" the statue and are wondering if Kusuo and Riki's relationship was more than just friends.
