30 minutes earlier: Aoi was eating his food at the restaurant, and he was so engrossed in his meal that he didn't notice Kazuki and Shinku fighting. The staff approached him to tell him to move out of the way so they could rebuild the window, but Aoi was so engaged in his meal that he didn't even notice the staff.
He saw Kazuki had left after he had finished eating. He also observed that the window directly across from him was smashed. He then became panicked since he felt he had lost Kazuki; the waiter approached him and asked if everything was well; he answered “Yes'' with a straight expression. He then left after paying the bill.
He discovered a wallet after he exited, and as he took it up, he noticed a familiar face on it. He then proceeded on a search for Kazuki throughout the town. Meanwhile, Kazuki and Shinku continue to steal food from markets to feed their hunger. They were snatching food and fleeing the guards at the same time. Kazuki noted that the guards pursuing them were wearing chain armor rather than the elegant suit.
"Don't you think it's strange that these guards aren't dressed up?" Kazuki inquired of Shinku. "Now that you mention it, they do seem to be wearing various things," Shinku responded, "do you believe the ones in suits were fakes?"
"I don't know," Kazuki said, "but maybe."
To get through the guards, they cut around a corner to an ally. When they arrived in the alley, they came across Aoi.
"KAZUKI, THERE YOU ARE, DON'T RUN OFF ON ME AGAIN LIKE THAT!" Aoi screamed.
"RUN OFF ON YOU?!?" "I WAS BEING CHASED BY MEN IN SUITS!" Kazuki screamed back.
"All right, all right, both of you relax," Shinku remarked.
"Who the fuck are you?" Aoi inquired.
"My name is Shinku Hono, and I'm Kazuki's new friend," Shinku responded.
“Wait a minute you look familiar,” Aoi said, then he pulled out the wallet he had picked up earlier. "Oh, this wallet belongs to you."
“WOAH, MY WALLET!” Shinku exclaimed excitedly.
Before Shinku could take Aoi's wallet, a spear from the sky swooped down, "OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK!" Shinku yelled.
"What was that?" Kazuki wondered.
"It looks like a spear, but how did it come down from the sky," Aoi added. "There appears to be a note on it."
"What does it say?" Shinku inquired.
"It says “SURPRISE Shinku”," Aoi explained.
"What exactly does that imply?" Shinku stated.
“It means you guys are dead,” said a mysterious voice.
“WHO SAID THAT!” Shinku asked.
Then, from across the alley, a figure appeared. He appeared to be dressed in armor and wielding a sword and spear. He then launched an attack on the trio, but each of them managed to avoid it. The strange man said, "You guys are faster than I thought,"
"Haruto, what are you looking for from us?" Shinku added.
"Wait, Shinku, are you familiar with this individual?" Kazuki asked.
"He, or rather the organization for which he works, is the reason I'm here," Shinku explained.
"Well, well, well, you're a clever one, now tell me how you learned my name," Haruto said.
"I completed my research because you work for my father," Shinku explained.
"You're here to stop us now that you know we work for your father, right?" Haruto inquired,
Shinku replied, "That's right, I’ll take you down."
Haruto responded “I’d like to see you try,”
Shinku rushed at Haruto, and Haruto dodged the attack swiftly before Shinku could even land a hit. Then Haruto retreated because he knew he couldn’t take on the trio together, but the trio chased after him, but he was too fast and got away.
The trio gave up their pursuit and instead tried to look for where the enemy was staying. As they were searching Haruto appeared on a building top with 1 other mysterious figure.
