The chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter. In this scene, Horiuchi has just returned home from school and is shocked to find that he has gone to a karaoke booth with a "big boobed chick" on top of him in only her "undisies" . He is also shocked to learn that his friend Takemichi has also gone to the same place. He also learns that the two of them have been acting strangely lately, and that he was "freaked out" and "left" when they were watching fireworks together at the school. He asks what is important to him, and he says that he wants to "save hina" from being killed by Toman and save "ken ryu" from having to kill him in the future. He then asks if he can find out the cause of Dr. Seward's death, which is two weeks away from his current mission.
