Episode Title: Homesick!? Hana and Mother. Wanderlust Gash.

Description: Zatch finds and reads a manga titled 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother. Inspired by it, he decides to search for examples of maternal figures in hopes of gaining remembrance of his own mother. When that proves unproductive, Zatch turns to Kiyo's mother, Hana Takamine, and is amazed at the amount of household work she puts in. Zatch inquires with Kiyo on what having a mother feels like, and he tells him to look to Hana as an example; Zatch is disheartened by the comparison and runs off. Following a brief search wherein Tia also helps out, Hana locates Zatch who tells her that he is too afraid to accept her as a parent because his feelings for his real mother might be forgotten. In response, Hana approves of Zatch having "two mothers," since she also thinks of him as her own child. Sensing that this was the answer to his moral strife, he lovingly embraces her.
