• The Countermeasures Bureau learned that someone had wiped out the Evil Spirit Tide at the Tsuchimiya Family’s Spiritual Vein Land, and its staff worried about the attacker’s purpose in taking Tsuchimiya Madam’s remains.
• Isayama Yomiko asked Broly to keep the incident secret from Tsuchimiya Kagura, then Broly and Kagura went to school together.

After Yunyun encouraged him to use the Bureau’s theory as cover for his plan, Broly tried to slip out and update his ninjas, but Yomiko and Kagura accompanied him on a nighttime walk.

• Broly suggested that the mysterious person might have taken Tsuchimiya Madam’s remains out of love and hoped to resurrect her, prompting the Bureau to warn him about the dangers of defying death.

• Broly tried to leave at night to brief his ninjas, but Yomiko and Kagura insisted on accompanying him, so the three walked together with Yomiko carrying her briefcase.

The Countermeasures Bureau and Mitarashi Kazuhiro searched unsuccessfully for Broly and the Life-Killing Stone while Broly enjoyed peaceful days with Isayama Yomiko and Tsuchimiya Kagura. A Black Shadow Ninja ambushed the girls in a Park to carry out Broly’s plan for combat training, leaving Kagura in its sights.

• Iwahata Koji pressured the Head of Jusenkyo, Imawano, to help investigate the attack on the Tsuchimiya Family’s Spiritual Vein Land, and Sakuraba Kazuki learned that the Bureau was using underworld organizations to search.
