Hibiki Volume 26.
It starts with the person in the white garb looking to the person in the black garb while the cameraman has a seizure.
Things really start off as Asumu hangs out with Hibiki, drumming around and relaxing as Hibiki chills, singing some. There, Hibiki invites Asumu to a taiko drum festival, which is nice. Things start getting a little hectic as the plot jumps around a lot, so, in no particular order:
*Todoroki slays another giant crab Makamou
*Ibuki and Kasumi are hanging out
*Asumu finds out that Akira is briefly helping out at Tachibana's
*Another set of summer monsters rear their head
*The blonde haired kid shows up at Tachibana's

Todoroki suspects the summer monsters may be around, so he calls in for Hibiki's help. This leads to the best part of the episode. ANSWERS. Asumu doesn't know what the summer time demons are, so Midori provides some clarity. The person clad in black creates the giant Makamou, while the person in white creates the summer time demons, which are notably different because they're only human sized, but they have the ability to multiply themselves. Good to know~
I still don't know about their science sticks, but some clarity is always a good thing.

So Hibiki moves out to aid Todoroki in slaying them, finding out their cat demons. In the meantime, Todoroki sees a couple walking down the street that triggers...Something in his head, as he immediately hops off his bike and gives chase, but he strangely can't catch them. Every time they turn a corner, they instantly teleport somewhere else, which is strange. Even when they descend down a hill, they manage to disappear as soon as Ibuki loses sight of them. Not even the disc animals help, as they turned up melted and the couple gone...Weird.

This was a pretty solid episode, finally giving us a little insight in what the people in black and white do (The biggest problem was that they'd always summon a demon immediately after the Oni killed another one, so it seemed like they were possibly resurrecting them, which made things really confusing). The bits with Asumu were nice, as he's finally in a situation where life doesn't completely hate him.
Also, we find out that anyone could look like a serial killer when turning a corner while holding a knife upside down.

I sure could go for some watermelon...
