Episode Title:
The Big Bro Shinzo Safety Watch Team
Episode Description:
Shinzo goes shopping with Ayaka. Kengo and Nanao convince Taiyo to help spy on them, suspecting it is a date. Ayaka admits she respects Shinzo for helping his family despite being an introvert. Shinzo proceeds to punishes Taiyo, Kengo, and Nanao for spying on him. Taiyo later collapses and blood cherry blossoms begin sprouting from his skin, but a voice warns him to regain control, or the blossoms will consume him. Inside his head, he meets Tsubomi, who reveals her blood was transferred into him by Makoto. She asks Taiyo to kill her, first by opening the Book of Buds, and then by visiting Makoto in prison, which he can only do with a Silver spy license. She then implants in Taiyo's head the method of opening the book. After Taiyo does so, he asks to take the Silver rank exam. Shion warns him that it is always proctored by a Gold rank spy, and Taiyo could not have picked a worse year to take the exam as the upcoming proctor has never allowed anybody to pass. Taiyo attends the exam and meets Usa, a reporter for Spy Day magazine. Shinzo also attends the exam.
