Kawaki & Himawari Academy Arc
As Hibari's movie career continued to strain her relationship with her daughter, Osuka's bitterness reached its limit when Hibari threw out her favorite pudding. Later, Hibari was kidnapped along with Himawari Uzumaki. After the two girls were rescued by Neon and Kawaki, Hibari frantically arrived to hug her daughter in tearful joy. While Osuka was shocked by this reaction, Hibari insisted that a mother's first concern is always their child. She also revealed the reason she has been gone so much lately was because she was helping in designing a sensory system for the new drones, which is what Neon used to find Osuka and Himawari. Hibari also revealed that she threw out Osuka's pudding because it expired from her storing it for so long. As the mother and daughter tearfully reconsiled, they invited everyone out to enjoy some pudding together.
