The next day, Chibi-Usa bumped into Kyusuke.  Kyusuke said another boy had disappeared after walking home with Ririka.  The two decided to investigate further.  They went to school and spotted Ririka picking flowers in the school garden. Chibi-Usa wanted to scold her again, but Kyusuke suggested they watch to see what Ririka did.  The two friends peeked around a wall.  Ririka examined the stem she held, then bit the flower off!  Then she spotted Kyusuke and Chibi-Usa.  Ririka's eyes flashed angrily.  Kyusuke and Chibi-Usa ran away.

"Vampires can't stand garlic!"
"And garlic means..."

"I'm hungry!" chorused everyone.
"Of course, Mamo-chan will pay!" added Usagi.
The next day, Ririka was absent from school.  The teacher asked Chibi-Usa to take Ririka's homework to her.  Chibi-Usa was a little nervous about going to Ririka's, but Momo and Kyusuke said they would go with her.  Then Momo and Kyusuke covered their noses.  "What's that horrible smell?"
"Sorry!" Chibi-Usa covered her mouth, "I had too much Korean Barbeque!"
