When they arrived at Kakusu headquarters, they relaxed and ate dinner there. While eating, Akihiko commented: "All of you, we all know that Asahi died today; that means the 3rd higher up is now vacant. Because of that, Shoto will be our new third higher up and Nagisa will be our new second higher up. But we need our first or lowest higher up. Do you think we should get that person from the deffiers or the commanders?" . "Commanders, please" was their unanimous response.
After they finished speaking, the door opened. A man entered with an incredible aura. He drew all of their attention; he seemed powerful. The presence of the room shifted.
He replied: "Everyone, please meet him, our new lowest conqueror, Tachibana Hayate" . Takeshi remembered Hayate. Takeshi questioned himself, "Isn't he the one who provided the data for the coat Rikuu discovered?". Hayate sat down, clicking his fingers. Two cats rushed at him. The cats appear to be rather powerful as well.
Hayate ended with "Everyone, I'm pleased to meet you! I'll be working with you all from now on" . Ichika appears to be really angry. She used to know that guy from Shinagawa. Ichika spoke to Akari by whispering "He is the one that catcalled me when I am walking in the bridge. He even followed me. Fortunately, there were policemen in the street that time" .
Akari rose up and yelled, "I want one of the deffiers to be our new conqueror, that guy's a pervert! I knew him from my past!" Akihiko questioned, "Is that true, Hayate?". Hayate said, "I beg your pardon, but no, I'm always a decent guy with a decent mind," with a deceptive expression.
Ichika flung her knife at Hayate, but he dodged and laughed. Hayate taunted Ichika, saying, "How bad is that aiming? Practice more, okay?" Then Hayate exited their headquarters. Everyone was annoyed. Shoto went on: "Ichika, that behavior of you never happened before. You should be disciplined by that. It's very pathetic" .
In addition, Nagisa replied "Yeah, Shoto's right Akihiko. Just because she's your child doesn't mean your not going to do disciplinary action in her" . Akihiko responded, "Well, I suppose that's an acceptable reason." Ichika, Akari, and Rikuu are worried at the time.
Akihiko pointed at Ichika and said, "Because of your pathetic behavior and action, I, Inoue Akihiko, will not let you, Kato Ichika, do any tasks for a week". Ichika responded with disbelief: "What do you mean? You know you can't, dad! Crimes going up day by day, you can't just do that, I have a reason why i wanna kill that guy!" . Akihiko answered: "Kill that guy, huh? Is that right? I don't tolerate that stuff. This conversation is dismissed" .
Ichika dashed outdoors. Rikuu followed her. Akari was going to follow them, but Takeshi stopped her. Akihiko was quite upset and angry at the time. Akihiko replied: "All the deffiers, go home and get rest. And don't imitate that behavior, please" .
Rikuu became fatigued while looking for Ichika but persisted in his search. When he got to his favorite location, the river, he noticed Ichika. Rikuu moved up to Ichika and sat down alongside her. Rikuu responded: "Here you are. I got exhausted finding you, you know?" . Ichika muttered, "You shouldn't do that, though."
Rikuu was silent for a full minute. Ichika finally said, "That guy almost raped me if Japan had no police or security." Rikuu asked her, "In what way?". Ichika replied, "I'm walking alone in the bridge long time ago, when that guy catcalled me and followed me. Fortunately, there were policemen in the street. Just that" . Ichika was embarrassed to tell Rikuu her experience, yet she feels comfortable.
Then Rikuu said "I really don't know what to say, i lack emotional intelligence. But what i knew us what you should do. You don't have to kill him and all that, just tell the other higher ups nicely. That way, they'll understand" . Ichika responded, "They wouldn't listen to me, especially Dad." To which Rikuu said "I did, and Akihiko-San and I are the same. Maybe he will as well" . Ichika asked him, "What do you mean by the same?" Rikuu responded, "Nothing, nevermind. Let's return to the headquarters."
