With Kokonoe, Litchi travelled to the 11th Hierarchical City of Shinatsu, entering the Hazuki estate. There, she met Houichirou Hazuki, Mai Natsume, Kajun Faycott, Taro Sasaga'e, Bell, and Shiori Kirihito. [2] After everyone, bar Houichirou, agreed to join Kokonoe, they travelled to the cauldron of the city where Litchi explained that Meifang Lapislazuli had begun opening facilities closed after the civil war and was likely planning to smelt something. They were soon interrupted by a group of Fuzzy, who kidnapped Bell, and Kokonoe teleported Tager to their location where they fought the vampires off. [3] Overwhelmed by their numbers, the group was only saved from the numerous vampires when they began to crumble into dust. Kokonoe ordered Litchi and Tager to assist her in teleporting Shiori, Taro, and Kajun to Mai's location so she could defeat Meifang. [4]

Litchi: Oh, my... What a cute little girl. Are you lost? Where are you from? Where are your mommy and daddy?
Rachel: ...
Litchi: You're wearing such nice clothes... You must not be from around here. What should I do...?
Rachel: I see you have changed. Have you found the strength you sought? I see you are determined, if nothing else.
Litchi: Uhh... What are you talking about?
Rachel: The one who you're trying to save gave away his humanity to enter another world. He was consumed by the knowledge he sought. What a fool. You still pursue him even though you know his fate... Perhaps you are more like him than you realize.
Litchi: Who... who are you!?
Rachel: Why the frightened face, child? Ah well, there is nothing pressing at the moment. I will spare a moment to play with you.
<Litchi Victory>
Rachel: You have entertained me. I hope your wish comes true.
Litchi: Who in the world... was she...?

Arakune: Uuugh Aah who you?
Litchi: Do you know how long it took me to find this place? And what I had to go through? It was so easy to find you before... I just had to go to your room. Geez... you're always so selfish and reckless.
Arakune: Who you? hav no memorie of you. can't emember anything.
Litchi: I see... So you've really forgotten, huh...?
Arakune: You are just ing s I hav no you. Begone!
Litchi: I'm sorry I didn't notice... I'm sorry I couldn't stop you... I'll put you out of your misery. That's all I can do for you now... I'm sorry...

Stage IX: Hakumen
|
Litchi: Where am I? The air here reminds me of the Boundary, but something's... different... Ah!
Hakumen: ...
Litchi: You... Are you Hakumen?
Hakumen: Oh, so you know me? You must have something to do with that Grimalkin.
Litchi: "Grimalkin"? Are you referring to the professor? That's terrible... But if you're here, that means the salvage was a success. I left midway and didn't get to see it through. Is the professor doing well?
Hakumen: You... What did you harvest from the Boundary?
Litchi: !?
Hakumen: You may have fooled the others, but you can't fool my eyes. I shall purify that corrupted soul of yours. I am the white void. I am the cold steel. I am the just sword. With blade in hand shall I reap the sins of this world, and cleanse it in the fires of destruction. I am Hakumen. The end has come!
<Litchi Victory>
Hakumen: Guh! How dare you interrupt me, Grimalkin!
Litchi: That's... space-time teleportation!?

Litchi: I guess I can't run away anymore... but with the way I am now, I can force you back into the Cauldron.
Nu-13: Target identified: obstacle. Elimination protocol release requested... Request granted.
Litchi: You know, he called my name... It was only for a moment, but he did... I might make it in time. I might still be able to save him... That's why I don't have time to be defeated here!
Nu-13: Activate elimination protocol.

AD2199/06/27
Litchi: Next patient? Huh. I guess that's it for today. I'm going out for a bit, so can you take care of the rest?
Linhua: No problem, Dr. Faye-Ling.
Litchi: Thanks. I'll be back in a few hours, OK? If anyone comes in, refer them to Dr. Han.
Linhua: Awww, that quack?
Litchi: Dr. Han may be blunt, but he's very skilled. Hmmm... I suppose his people skills are a little lacking.
Linhua: Well, that can't be helped. You do get more patients than he does. So, are you going underground again today? I'm amazed you can actually talk to those people-hating cats.
Litchi: That's not true. They're all very cute and friendly.
Linhua: Well, every single guy in this town is absolutely crazy about you... so I'm sure you can lure in anyone with your amazing charms... er... skills.
Litchi: You say something?
Linhua: Not at all. Say, didn't you have something urgent to do? Have a safe trip.
Litchi: Yeah, yeah... Take care of the rest, OK?
Litchi: It's been half a year since I came to Kagutsuchi... I've discovered where he operates, but... he's not very easy to find. Still, the kitties in the Kaka clan said they'd help me... So I guess there's no point to being down.
Litchi: All right! Time for some action!

Calamity Trigger Reconstruction
Early in 2199, Litchi learned that Arakune had appeared in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi. She moved to the city and founded a clinic in Orient Town, one of the city's many districts. There, she took on a pupil, Linhua, and became close friends with the Kaka clan, who's kittens were being eaten by Arakune. During this time, she also became good friends with Totokaka, the leader of the Kaka, Taokaka, their guardian, and Bang Shishigami, the leader of the surviving Ikarugan ninja. In the space of a year, Litchi became a well loved figure within her local community, although she lost contact with Kokonoe and Tager. She also began conducting research for Totokaka on the reproductive rates of the Kaka, but the results were not positive.
In the late December of 2199, Litchi visited Lost Town, but noticed the presence of Ragna the Bloodedge, who had been there earlier. Following the directions of Totokaka, Litchi ran towards the sewers, believing that Arakune would find Ragna because of his Azure Grimoire. Her suspicions proved to be true, and she found the Grim Reaper standing over the defeated monster. She pleaded with Ragna, allowing Arakune time to escape, and continued to explain her and his situation to the criminal, who warned her about getting close to the Boundary with Lao Jiu. She thanked him for his concern, but told him of her continued resolve. Later that evening, she tended to the wounds of Bang, which were caused by Jin Kisaragi. [6]
A female doctor working in the downtown of Orient Town, located in the lower levels of Kagutsuchi. As a doctor, and while being very understanding, she is an indispensible presence around town. When she hears of the appearance of the "Grim Reaper," she begins to search for the "Azure Grimoire."[20]
Although taken inside the Embryo, Litchi did not become one of the chosen. Her memories were still altered, however. Upon hearing from Linhua that Tager was in Kagutsuchi, she closed the clinic early, going to find the Red Devil by herself. She succeeded, and began asking if he was looking for Arakune, being happy when he answered no. She returned to the clinic late at night until she heard knocking at the clinic door – answering it, she found Bang with an amnesiac Ragna who was seriously injured. She sent Bang shopping for supplies and introduced Linhua to the Grim Reaper the following morning. [21] She knew immediately who he was, and warned him that if he were to stray too far into public, he would be captured by the NOL. Tao suddenly appeared and offered to hide him the Kaka Village, so Litchi relented and allowed it, but only under the condition that she accompany him, leaving Linhua in charge of the clinic. [22]
At the Kaka Village, Litchi further tended to Ragna's wounds, and awoke some memories. She went to talk for the elder, allowing him some rest; later, she was playing with the kittens, and went outside to distract Noel when she heard from Bang that the NOL lieutenant was surveying the entrance. [23] She was very nearly successful until Bang blew her cover by announcing that the Grim Reaper had ran away from the house he was in. She quickly ran towards the sewers where Ragna was heading, with both Bang and Noel hot on her tail. [24] She found Arakune on the verge of being killed by the Grim Reaper, and stopped him, begging that he be spared – Noel was unconscious on the ground, and Litchi suggested, rather brutally, that Ragna kill her, or all their lives could be in danger. [25]
Litchi tended to Noel when Ragna left, and was found by Tsubaki, who immediately demanded why her friend was in such a state. She stopped Bang from attacking the soldier and allowed Tsubaki to take Noel to the surface where she could be treated [26] She later found Arakune and he attacked her, eventually relenting when he realised she channels the power of the Boundary. This attack revoked some of Litchi's memories on how Arakune came to exist. [27] She was later transported to Ikaruga by Nine the Phantom and told to defeat Izanami to claim her piece of the Azure [28]
Because of Lao Jiu's connection to the Boundary, Litchi was retrieving her memories more rapidly than others. She met Relius, and he stirred several memories before warning her that her body will deteriorate if she pursues Arakune. [29] Litchi travelled to Akitsu and came to its cauldron, her memories now back to her. She realised that Arakune was merely a vessel created by Roy, and that his soul was still inside the Boundary – she planned on reactivating the cauldron to retrieve it but was stopped by Tager who reminded her of those who would mourn should she fail. Litchi stopped to consider her options. [30] In a possibility created by Phenomenon Intervention, Litchi's desire was devoured by Ragna. [31]
The final encounter with Roy
Back in Kagutsuchi, Litchi searched for Arakune, determined to end it once and for all by saving Roy. Bang and Tao found her, and they travelled together through the sewers to find the monster, but once they did, his strength had increased massively. Tao briefly battled him, and Litchi stepped in to finish the job herself; Arakune began rapidly absorbing the seithr in the air, attempting to become a Black Beast, and swallowed her whole. Inside the Boundary, she met Roy's soul and they were finally reunited. He refused to return, having obtained a position to research endlessly within the Boundary himself. As the Embryo entered the phase of deconstructing everything to seithr, he asked Litchi to return to Embryo and to kill Arakune, as that was his desire. Crying, Litchi resolved to complete his wish, but was knocked out by Bang, who killed Arakune instead, unwilling to let Litchi sully her hands murdering the man she loved. She soon dissolved into seithr, her data backed up by Es. [32]
In the new world created by Ragna, Litchi, with Mai and Kajun, took Platinum to her clinic in Orient Town. The circumstances surrounding this are unknown, but it is presumed that Litchi took Platinum into her care, finally moving on in her life. [33]
