Episode Title:
Festival Accompanying Chapter Eight – 48 Hours.
Episode Description:
Takano, oblivious of Tomitake and Irie's betrayal, continues on with her plan. Oishi confirms with Rika and her friends that the local precinct is on board with the announcement of Rika's death, set to be announced at dawn. The grand plan is named "Operation 48 Hours". The next day, Takano's military forces are sent into a scramble over the validity of the report. Meanwhile, Oishi and his associates deal with an organization spy, Otaka, who plans to come and investigate Rika's future. Okonogi realizes that they are being attacked by an organized plan. The group attempts to track down Tomitake, who they trace as a source of calls with the Investigation Bureau, to prevent a leakage of the operation. Otaka arrives at the precinct, claiming to have the backing of the councilor, but he is on-site and dispels such a claim. Meanwhile, Takano tries to make sense about Rika, becoming suspicious of Irie, and the group close in on Tomitake.
