Episode Title:
A Rumor Only Lasts Seventy-Five Days.
Episode Description:
Unconfirmed rumors are spread about Shizuo while he assists Tom Tanaka in collecting a debt from a customer who heard the rumors. Meanwhile, Vorona is forced to work with Simon Brezhnev and Denis at Russia Sushi after she was ambushed, and she calls herself weak because she has never met anyone as strong as Shizuo before. As Akabayashi takes Akane to the Rakuei Gym, an earlier conversation in her bedroom revealed that Akane does not trust anyone including herself, but Akabayashi suggested Akane to toughen herself up to protect herself and her family. Mairu and Kururi pass by, and they happen to attend this dojo, taking Akane inside. Shizuo and Tom walk inside Russia Sushi to eat, and Denis offers to put Vorona to work in debt collection with Shizuo and Tom. Vorona ends up being very useful, being able to take out people with debts in a quick and efficient manner. Shizuo, Tom and Vorona take a break at a shrine and come across Mairu, Kururi and Akane. Vorona stays behind with the other girls, as Shizuo and Tom take care of some business. However, the girls are surrounded by kidnappers, who soon retreat after underestimating the strength of the girls. Vorona tells Akane that Shizuo is her prey, but Akane protests that only she is allowed to kill Shizuo because she saw him first. After Shizuo and Tom return, Vorona walks with them, and Shizuo buys Vorona a soft drink as a token of his gratitude.
