Time traveling...always sometime I enjoy if it's done correctly. As of this volume, no serious paradoxes exists that bothers me too much. There are some things though that I don't get, as to why Kirigakure is here in the future too, but I'll attribute that to my stupidity.

Bonus includes a few 4 panel comics and behind the dust jacket is a cutout where you can put different expressions to make Kurumi's face.

29. 旅立ち (Travel): The Devil (for lack of a better name, I guess) decides that this isn't the best place to fight, so she(?) travels back through time, but not before leaving a curse with Nakahito. In order to get cured, he's going to have to follow her into the future and defeat her.

30. 刻の異邦人 (Time Traveler): The three girls, Kaga, and Nakahito go 100 years into the future. One thing Nakahito notices is that there's no trace of his shrine nor his name. They find a descendant of Dr. Amagi and take employment at her shop. Kurumi accidentally spills a drink on a guest who turns out to also be a steel angel herself. Her master looks a lot like Nakahito's brother, but is very abusive towards her. They wonder what has become of the relationship between steel angels and their masters.

31. エンゼル・オブ・エンゼル (Angel of Angels): Kaga has accompanied Kurumi, et al. to protect them in this future. She learns that history is different from the one that she remembered. Kurumi and gang are now supposed to be attending the "Steel" school. There's apparently an "Angel of Angels," none other than Kirigakure who had been trying to chase down Kurumi in the past. Like before, Kurumi arrives and unknowingly bumps her aside.

32. 未来の遺産 (Future's Legacy): The girls at the school become infatuated with Nakahito and kidnap him, causing Kurumi to give chase. After falling for some traps, she manages to save him. Meanwhile, the Academy appears, but Kaga finds out that it's now called "Mahoroba" and realizes that they can't rely on it for help. Meanwhile, the guy who looks like Nakahito's brother decides to challenge Nakahito and Kurumi.

33. 鋼鉄ファイト (Steel Fight): 神威天人 (Amato Kamui) is his name and エクセリア(Excelia) is his steel angel that he's going to pit against Kurumi. Kurumi starts out with the upper hand until Excelia uses the powers of her shadow to fight her.

34. エンゼル・フォース (Angel Force): Nakahito manages to awake the Kurumi's true powers when he tells her that she doesn't need to fight for him. Kaga's theory is that Kurumi's and Nakahito's affection for each other are now more intertwined than ever, allowing her to show her true form.
