There, the student Kureha Tsubaki ( 椿 輝 紅 羽 ), who is in a secret relationship with her classmate Sumika Izumino ( 泉 乃 純 花 ) , arouses Ginko's interest. When both lily beds are being devastated, the class representative Mitsuko Yurizono ( 百合 園 蜜 子 ) offers them both to clean up this morning with them. The next day Sumika disappeared. Kureha receives a phone call that tells her if her love for Sumika is real, she has to face the bears and is attacked by Ginko and Lulu and experiences a kind of vision. In this, Ginko and Lulu have to face the "Court of Extermination" ( 断絶 の コ ー ト , danzetsu no kōto ) , consisting of the human-like bears and single male figures Judge Life Sexy ( ラ イ フ ・ セ ク シ ー , Raifu Sekushī ) , Prosecutor Life Cool ( ラ イ フ ・ク ー ル , Raifu Kūru ) and defender Life Beauty ( ラ イ フ ・ ビ ュ ー テ ィ ー , Raifu Byūtī ) , pose in a yuri trial ( ユ リ 裁判 , yuri saiban ) , where they are acquitted of their sin of having eaten a person and they are allowed to do so to feast on Kureha.
