The Way to Freedom

"'That kid Nakiami brought back is an ungrateful little punk! Because of Akiyuki, the ship gets attacked by a flying Humanform! Next episode, The Way to Freedom. Think or turn to stone.' - Akushiba, narrating the preview for the episode"

Summary
After Nakiami performs a special treatment to contain the power of Xam'd in Akiyuki's right arm, Akiyuki is now compelled to work as a new member of the postal crew, much to his chagrin. Akiyuki begs Ishu Benikawa to return him back to the island, but she turns down the request. Another humanform later approaches Zanbani and captures Akiyuki. Nakiami sets out to rescue Akiyuki from being absorbed by the humanform. Akiyuki thanks Nakiami for saving him yet again. Haru visits Fusa Takehara to tell her that Akiyuki has not died, promising to find him as soon as she can.
