After finding a real lead on Kaito, Akira was relieved and anxious to get started on her investigation. However, she knew it would be useless to go to the red-light district during the day. She also needed to rest after pulling off an all-nighter.
The doctor had said she was in great physical condition, but she still needed to take care of herself. Moreover, she knew that she had been pushing her body beyond its limits. She needed plenty of rest before going out in the evening.
Fortunately, she now had a way forward and her mind was at peace. She fell asleep as soon as she took a shower and her head hit the pillow.
In another part of the Immortal Sword Valley, her team of six agents was just returning from the field. Akira had finally allowed them to finish up with their investigation of the port. They did not find anything per se suspicious, only circumstantial issues that indicated hidden problems.
