Episode Description:
In the past, Akane first received a cellphone from her parents and grandfather. She believed to have led a carefree life in elementary school until she researched online that her family art gallery business was really a crime syndicate. Unable to face her parents again, Akane confined herself in her bedroom and read an online message board. She met up with Namie and Izaya at a restaurant to explain her current family situation before she decided to run away from home a month later. Izaya also convinced Akane that Shizuo was the most dangerous hitman in the city and may be targeting her family. In the present, Masaomi contacts Izaya, suspecting that his online alias was hacked by Izaya. When Masaomi inquires about Mikado's recent behavior, Izaya suggests for Masaomi to talk to Mikado himself. Chikage demands Kyohei to reveal the leader of the Dollars, but Kyohei says that the leader is irrelevant, comparing this gang to a swarm of locusts or a school of fish. The two agree to a fight outside Raira Academy Field No. 2, where students are playing kabaddi nearby. A female member of the Dollars catches sight of the fight and sends a message to the Dollars. Meanwhile, Izaya sends a message to the Dollars concerning Chikage's girlfriend Non with her female friends in a restaurant. In the abandoned factory, Aoba and the Blue Squares receive the message of the whereabouts of Kyohei and Chikage. Aoba discovers Celty's shadow trail on Vorona's tainted bike left behind and decides to follow it to its source. Shizuo runs to the observation deck and receives both messages. Mikado, Celty, Anri and Akane hide out in a parking garage, but Mikado runs off when he receives the messages as well. Vorona follows Mikado, while Slon stays behind. Celty informs Anri that some members of the Dollars plan to kidnap Non and her friends. Anri decides to catch up to Mikado, in which Slon relays this to Vorona, while Slon continues to follow Celty and Akane.
