At the headquarters, Nagisa remembered that they need to have a funeral for Asahi and Fuyutsuki. He gathered all the explorers, challengers, deffiers, commanders, and the higher ups. He told all of them about the funeral. He said "Attention everyone, all ears and eyes on me for now. Because of our beloved Asahi and Fuyutsuki's death, we need to mourn and celebrate what they've done on the Minato. In short, funeral. All members gather tomorrow on Shibuya's cemeter, Aoyama. That's all, thank you".
All the members talked loudly about the funeral. While Akihiko and Shoto at the corner, still sad about Asahi and Fuyutsuki's death. Nagisa and Hayate approached them. Hayate asked them while smiling "Are you both okay? It's fine that he's gone, he killed a traitor anyway". Akihiko punch Hayate so hard in the face and replied "You freaking greedy. You just position right? Then from now on, you're not a member of Kakusu anymore".
Akihiko clicked his fingers and the guards kicked Hayate out of the headquarters. Hayate shouted before he got kicked out "You'll pay for this!". After Hayate was kicked out, he whispered "You wanna play? Let's play!".
Akihiko tried to calm down and called Nagisa. Nagisa quickly came to Akihiko. Akihiko said "Nagisa, pick another higher up". Nagisa sighed and replied "Actually, Akihiko-San, you might get mad, but I'm thinking of resigning after the funeral tomorrow". Akihiko asked and replied "What? Why? Are you out of your mind?". Nagisa replied "No not like that. But I'm getting weaker and weaker this past few days, ever since that massacre. I don't know why but I really feel it".
Takeshi overheard Nagisa and Akihiko's conversation. He felt sorry for Nagisa and felt scared because if Nagisa's proposal happens, there will be only 2 higher ups remaining. Takeshi called all the deffiers outside to gather and have a meeting.
When they're all outside, he quickly told the story. He said "So earlier, i was overhearing Akihiko-San and Nagisa-San's conversation". He was interrupted by Daichi "So? What do you want?". Takeshi replied "Nagisa-San will retire as higher up after the funeral tomorrow". They we're all shocked. Reina said "He can't be doing this, the clan's gonna fall". Ichika said "First Fuyutsuki-San, then Asahi-san. Now Nagisa-San? It can't be".
Reina and Ichika agreed for the first time. Rikuu told them "It'll be fine, just pay attention to him". Reina and Ichika blushed and smiled at Rikuu. Takeshi continued speaking and said "So raise the hand of those who doesn't want him to retire". Everyone raised their hands. Takeshi said "Everyone, huh? Then, here's our plan".
