Since you still remember how your life used to be before you put on that succubus costume, along with the events from the costume shop themselves, you share what Gwen's said about the shop-owner or, as she had called herself the ‘mistress’. "Since this mall seems to have a mind of its own, I think it made us a team so we could put a stop to the so called mistress perverting its powers for her own agenda. And even if it didn't, I still think we should intervene."
After a pause, you say to your spidery girlfriend "'Licia, I'll need you to use your shadow ability. Map the shop and note the position of every potential hostile. Don't intervene unless lives depend on it. The rest of the team will wait for you outside the shop of the ‘mistress’."
You walk your team to a hiding spot near the enemy shop, guided there by the mall's will. Malicia then enter the nearest shadow like it is a portal and start her scooting mission.
At first, everything is going according to plan. But once she found the way to the secret jail she see Gwen and your father, who had found a way to escape. At least, until Daisuke pass in front of a cell containing someone he knew all his life. "Granny?!?"

Meanwhile Ariane, your harpies team-mate, see from her perch somewhere above you a yuki-ona walking quickly in your direction, followed by your sister of all people. She rapidly come back to your level to report it, and decide to intercept them with Akila's help and bring them to your hiding spot.
It doesn't take long for you to recognize your mother. You don't know when her latent yuki-ona genes became active, but you have a good idea of why. That said, you don't have time to ponder the subject. "Mom, listen! I know for dad being a prisoner in that shop, I send a scoot there that saw him. But we don't know the extent of the enemy's forces yet. My team is doing everything to safely rescue him, so please let us work. It's not our first rescue mission."
"Hope?!? So your father wasn't kidding about you being an hybrid of two kind of demons… Why am I only seeing it now?" Then, looking at her hands, she added. "And it seem I became a demon too, the same kind I was in that previous life I suddenly remember."
