Atsushi, who is running around the airport to secure Bram before Fukuchi, encounters Akiko. He accepts Akiko's request, "Let's meet Ranpo," betting on the slight chance of having the hound on his side. However, there was something wrong with Akiko's words. Kenji, who was at war with Tekkou, learns from the voice over the communication device that someone from the detective agency is about to be tortured... On the other hand, Sigma, who was chosen as a "tool", was astounded by Dazai who boasted that he would "kill Fedor in the middle of a game" instead of trying to escape from prison.
