Chapter Summaries

Curacao disguised herself and headed to Sakimori Pier to secure the scene after the troubled plane landed and prevent Irish from exposing the Organization. As the plane approached, she expected Jiang Xia, whom she knew as Uzo, to fight to survive, and prepared to keep watch over Irish.

• Inspector Megure, Officer Shiratori, and Officer Takagi saw a large convoy of police cars and abandoned their plans for drinks to offer help.
• Curacao spotted the plane approaching Sakimori Pier and told Rum, who ordered her to take control of the scene and keep Irish from revealing the Organization's secrets.
• Rum told Curacao not to worry about Uzo, though he said she could watch him as well if possible.
• Curacao disguised herself as an ordinary Asian office worker and equipped herself with weapons before driving toward the pier.
• Curacao decided to protect the other passengers rather than rely on a crash to erase evidence, reasoning that Jiang Xia would fight to survive.

Jiang Xia and his companions searched for a way to land the nearly fuel-depleted plane on a dark pier, while Kaito Kuroba secretly attempted to help. The plane was still circling as the group prepared to guide the landing.

• Hashimoto Maya identified Sakimori Pier and Hakucho Bridge, then realized the unlit landing area would be difficult to find from the air.
• Jiang Xia warned that the plane had too little fuel to change landing sites and asked Hashimoto Maya and Irish to help memorize landmarks and guide him.
• Jiang Xia circled the pier while observing the proposed runway, and Kaito Kuroba watched police cars chasing something near Hakucho Bridge.
• Kaito Kuroba entered the cockpit disguised as Shinjo Isao and claimed he could solve the visibility problem by adjusting cabin pressure.
• Jiang Xia questioned Kaito Kuroba's plan, then gave him three minutes to try; Kaito adjusted the cabin pressure and left the cockpit.

Kaito Kuroba escaped the damaged plane and flew toward the police pursuit, while Curacao concealed her identity by pulling over as the police cars passed. The police realized they had been chasing a Kid impersonator and redirected their pursuit toward the real Kid, leaving Curacao watching from the roadside.

• Kaito Kuroba found the strange cloud-like object Jiang Xia had slipped into his sleeve, then opened the cabin door and was swept out of the plane by his cape.
• Kaito Kuroba unfolded his Hang Glider and flew toward the police surrounding Shinjo Isao, who was stranded atop a fountain sculpture in a Kid costume.
• Inspector Nakamori mistook Shinjo Isao for Kid until Inspector Megure spotted the real Kid flying toward them.
• Inspector Nakamori ordered the police to pursue Kaito Kuroba, while Shinjo Isao insisted that he was only a fan in costume.
• Curacao pulled over to let the police cars pass, then watched Kaito Kuroba as a white dot in the sky.

Curacao disguised herself as an ordinary office worker while Jiang Xia prepared the damaged plane for landing with Hashimoto Maya and Irish in the cockpit. As they spotted a line of police lights serving as runway signals, Inspector Megure remained at the park near Sakimori Pier.

• Curacao replaced her conspicuous earrings and watch with plain accessories before setting out to watch Irish from afar.
• After Kid escaped through the cabin door, Hashimoto Maya returned to the cockpit and urged Jiang Xia to land the plane quickly.
• Jiang Xia asked Hashimoto Maya to help fly, then had him sit in the co-pilot's seat when he refused to take control.
• Irish grew suspicious that Uzo had maneuvered Hashimoto Maya into his sight and worried about what his confidant might do under pressure.
• Hashimoto Maya spotted police lights arranged along the runway and wondered if Kid had set them up.
• Inspector Megure stayed behind near Sakimori Pier after seeing Inspector Nakamori.

Kaito Kuroba used Jiang Xia’s Smoke to grow wings and escaped the police by flying over the sea. Jiang Xia watched from the plane and realized Kid might not remember the wings’ three-minute limit, but a Mermaid Shikigami could help him reach shore.

• Inspector Megure followed the police pursuit, while Inspector Nakamori ordered teams to surround the road to the pier.
• Kid changed into black clothes and used the Smoke Jiang Xia had given him, which caused wings to grow and forced his Hang Glider away.
• Kid learned to fly and headed out over the dark sea, enjoying his newfound freedom.
• Hashimoto Maya felt relieved that Jiang Xia and Kid’s presence had helped them survive Uzo’s plane-crash scheme.
• Jiang Xia watched Kid fly farther over the sea and explained that a Mermaid Shikigami had attached itself to him in case his wings vanished.

Jiang Xia prepared to land the plane on a makeshift runway while Kid and the Mermaid enjoyed flying below it. As the passengers braced for an emergency landing, Hashimoto Maya calmly handled the controls despite his nervousness.

• Jiang Xia decided to keep Mist Tengu aboard for emergencies and left Kid to fly with the Mermaid below the plane.
• Jiang Xia learned that Noah had made the fuel problem less severe than the dashboard suggested and chose to land at a temporary runway instead of diverting to an airport.
• Inspector Nakamori arranged police cars as lights to guide the plane toward the runway, and Jiang Xia announced the emergency landing to the cabin.
• A flight attendant instructed Okiya Subaru to take the protective position, and he reluctantly complied after asking if he could sit upright.
• Hashimoto Maya monitored the descent and operated the landing controls steadily while trying to calm Jiang Xia with breathing instructions.

Jiang Xia piloted the plane toward a road lined with police cars and landed despite running out of fuel. The plane narrowly avoided a head-on collision with a crane and came to a stop on the beach.

• As the plane ran out of fuel, Jiang Xia took control and began the landing while Hashimoto Maya coached him.
• Inspector Megure spotted the plane approaching the road and ordered the officers to evacuate the police cars.
• Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya landed the plane on the road, but Hashimoto Maya warned that they were still heading toward a crane.
• Jiang Xia turned the plane toward the beach, sending police cars flying and striking the crane with a wing.
• The crane collapsed, and the plane slid onto the beach before coming to a stop.

After Jiang Xia safely landed the plane, he and Hashimoto Maya emerged to a crowd of reporters and rescuers. Jiang Xia escaped the attention by pretending to collapse, leaving Hashimoto Maya to be celebrated as a hero while Irish watched from hiding.

• Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya survived the emergency landing, then searched first class for Irish but did not find him.
• Rescuers and reporters met Jiang Xia and Hashimoto Maya as they left the plane, and two high school girls rushed to Jiang Xia on the ladder.
• Jiang Xia collapsed onto a stretcher and was carried away, while Hashimoto Maya was left exposed to the crowd.
• The passengers tossed Hashimoto Maya into the air as reporters photographed him, and he spotted Irish hiding nearby.
• Irish nodded reassuringly to Hashimoto Maya while protecting his injured shoulder.

Jiang Xia planned to recruit Hashimoto Maya as a doctorly assistant while keeping Irish from causing trouble. Curacao arrived disguised as emergency personnel and considered silencing Hashimoto Maya because his sudden fame could expose him, but she decided to find Irish first.

• Jiang Xia realized Hashimoto Maya's fame would make it harder for Irish to use him covertly, and decided he could recruit him as an assistant.
• Jiang Xia left the ambulance after recovering and stayed near the rescue scene, watching the surrounding crowd.
• Curacao disguised herself as emergency personnel so she could transport Irish and his subordinate and decide what to do with them.
• Curacao searched the Organization's Database for Hashimoto Maya's records and considered silencing him if his past made him a risk.
• Curacao decided not to act on Hashimoto Maya in the camera-filled scene and went to locate Irish, who had hidden nearby.

Curacao approached Jiang Xia while tracking Irish, but Jiang Xia recognized her as a Black Organization executive and confronted her about the co-pilot. She tried to deny it, then gave him a deliberately unwieldy email address instead of exchanging business cards.

• Curacao spotted Jiang Xia by an ambulance and tried to walk past him without drawing attention.
• Jiang Xia stopped Curacao and offered to take the co-pilot off Irish's hands if Irish had no use for him.
• Curacao denied understanding, but Jiang Xia mentioned her poor Japanese and mixed-race background, prompting her to drop her disguise.
• Jiang Xia admitted he had guessed Curacao's identity and warned her to stay composed, while Curacao threatened him over revealing organization information.
• Jiang Xia admired Curacao's Killing Intent and offered her a gold-trimmed business card, so Curacao recited a long email address instead.

Jiang Xia met Curacao after the airport incident, defended himself as a considerate colleague, and asked her to arrange for Hashimoto Maya to work under him. Curacao left wary of Jiang Xia and began investigating how he knew so much about her.

• Curacao told Jiang Xia she had expected him to crush people during the plane’s landing, and he blamed the accident on Irish while insisting he had helped his colleagues.
• Jiang Xia asked Curacao to transfer Hashimoto Maya to him, and she said she would make the request without promising anything.
• Jiang Xia stored Curacao’s Killing Intent and watched her leave, pleased with the new supply.
• Curacao hurried away and read search results confirming Hashimoto Maya’s long record of successful missions for Irish.
• Curacao wondered why Jiang Xia seemed to know her identity despite her secrecy and suspected Irish might have told him.

Curacao reported her encounter with Jiang Xia to Rum, who concluded that Uzo had recognized her through observation and familiarity with organization members rather than a leak. Rum reassured Curacao that Uzo did not kill indiscriminately, while Curacao realized he may have deliberately targeted Peripheral Members; she remained unsettled by how much he had noticed about her.

• Curacao placed Irish under surveillance and contacted Rum to report her encounter with Jiang Xia.
• Rum reasoned that Irish would not have leaked Curacao's identity and suggested Uzo had recognized her through her height, features, and disguise.
• Rum explained that Uzo had watched Curacao before and was especially skilled at recognizing members of the organization.
• Curacao realized Uzo might have deliberately killed Peripheral Members he identified during ordinary cases.
• Rum reassured Curacao that Uzo did not kill indiscriminately and cited Vodka and Bourbon as examples.

Curacao and Rum speculated about Uzo’s motives and discussed his request to take Irish’s confidant as a subordinate. Rum decided to keep the man under surveillance rather than give him to Uzo, while Curacao hurried to resolve the situation and leave before Uzo could approach her again.

• Curacao privately suspected Uzo’s killings were meant to help him advance within the organization, while Rum believed Uzo held no grudge against Gin.
• Curacao told Rum that Irish’s confidant was aboard the plane and that Uzo had stopped her from silencing him, apparently wanting to recruit him.
• Rum concluded Uzo had deliberately cleared a subordinate’s position and decided to separate Irish’s confidant from Irish and keep him under surveillance.
• Rum told Curacao not to give the man directly to Uzo and instructed her to confirm Irish’s and the plane’s situation quickly.
• Curacao worried that Uzo might seek her out over the unanswered request, then headed toward Irish’s hiding place.

Jiang Xia watched Curacao and Irish’s Killing Intent rise while Kid’s temporary wings vanished over the sea. Kid tried to swim back to shore but cramped and sank beneath the waves.

• Jiang Xia placed a Ghost on Curacao and watched her and Irish’s Killing Intent surge as they faced each other.
• Kid realized the wings Jiang Xia had given him lasted only three minutes and watched them dissipate over the sea.
• Kid’s parachute saved him from hitting the water, but he could not reach shore and found his phone had no charge.
• Kid began swimming toward shore, cramped from exhaustion and poor rest, and sank beneath the waves.

The Mermaid rescued Kid after he sank into the sea, but he panicked when he discovered her fish tail and repeatedly swam away from shore. She knocked him unconscious and brought him safely to the beach, where rescue workers carried him to an ambulance.

• The Mermaid noticed Kid had disappeared beneath the water and dove in to find him.
• The Mermaid pulled Kid through the waves, but he recognized her scales and fish tail and fled in terror.
• The Mermaid caught Kid and struck him with her tail after he swam in the wrong direction.
• The Mermaid dragged the unconscious Kid to shore, where rescue workers found and took him to an ambulance.
• Kid recovered in the ambulance and felt grateful to the Mermaid, though he thought he might rather drown than face her tail again.

Kid planned how to use his experience to escape after being rescued, while Inspector Megure and his colleagues missed their chance to find him. Jiang Xia arrived at the crash site and handed the officers a murder case, and Vodka later learned that Uzo had helped land the plane with Irish as the co-pilot.

• Kid recovered his wits and planned to escape, hoping to get more miraculous smoke from the detective next time.
• Inspector Megure thought he heard Kudo Shinichi, and he, Officer Takagi, and Officer Shiratori headed toward Kid's ambulance.
• Jiang Xia bumped into Inspector Megure, then told the officers that Maki Juri had been murdered by her makeup artist on the plane and left the evidence collection to them.
• Inspector Megure, Officer Takagi, and Officer Shiratori sent Jiang Xia to an ambulance and went to a pub, relieved to leave the crash-site work to Hokkaido officers.
• Vodka told Gin that the plane had landed safely and that Uzo and Irish had been its heroic pilots, then wondered why Irish looked so miserable.

Gin and Vodka investigated Hashimoto Maya and concluded he was a senior Peripheral Member whose connection to Irish had made him Uzo’s likely target. Gin explained that Uzo controlled the plane disaster to avoid indiscriminate deaths, leaving Vodka worried that Uzo might target executives through their subordinates.

• Vodka found evidence that Hashimoto Maya had secretly worked as a private doctor for the organization and treated several mission targets.
• Gin and Vodka connected Hashimoto Maya to Irish through overlapping travel records and his presence in the Ambulance after Irish collapsed in London.
• Gin concluded that Uzo had targeted Hashimoto Maya rather than Irish and told Vodka to apply for access to Maya’s file.
• Vodka worried that Uzo might shift his attention to executives’ subordinates, including him, while Gin said the lack of casualties showed Uzo had controlled the disaster.
• Gin described Uzo’s preference for preserving people as potential future victims, and Vodka recalled that Uzo had been furious after he and Gin burned the drug dealers on Moon Shadow Island.

After the plane landed, Gin assessed the cockpit incident and ordered Vodka to track Uzo before he reached Tokyo. In Hokkaido, Jiang Xia finished giving statements and reunited with Irish, who had survived and hoped to keep him as an ally.

• Gin concluded Irish had been careless to let Uzo into the cockpit and said the organization had not ordered anyone silenced because neither man appeared exposed.
• Gin told Vodka to confirm Uzo's itinerary and begin surveillance before Uzo entered Tokyo.
• Jiang Xia completed medical checks and police statements while avoiding Irish and watching Hashimoto Maya try to stay unnoticed.
• Irish approached Jiang Xia, claimed he had searched the cabin after hearing a child's voice, and concealed that he hoped to preserve their alliance.
• Jiang Xia welcomed Irish back and teased him about being old, and a car arrived to pick Irish up.

Irish left the police station with Curacao after surviving the airplane incident, while both men privately calculated how to use Jiang Xia. They went to collect Hashimoto Maya from the hospital, where his disguise nearly made Irish mistake him for Akai Shuichi.

• Jiang Xia said goodbye to Irish outside the police station, and Irish got into Curacao's car.
• Irish praised Jiang Xia and considered befriending and recruiting him, while Curacao recognized that Irish had mistaken Uzo for the detective.

• Curacao and Irish spotted Hashimoto Maya waiting by the hospital's side door in a knit cap and sunglasses.
• Irish briefly mistook Hashimoto Maya for Akai Shuichi, and Curacao mocked Hashimoto's resemblance to the former Organization member.

Hashimoto Maya accidentally resembled Akai Shuichi while wearing a knit cap and sunglasses, alarming Irish and Curacao. After they explained the danger, Hashimoto removed the disguise and realized they had only been warning him.

• Irish defended Hashimoto Maya when Curacao pointed out his resemblance to Akai Shuichi.
• Hashimoto Maya got into the car and looked in a mirror, but did not notice the resemblance.
• Irish asked whether Hashimoto had seen Akai Shuichi, and Hashimoto feared the executives planned to frame him as an undercover agent.
• Curacao told Hashimoto he looked like Akai Shuichi and warned that an executive might shoot him by mistake.
• Hashimoto removed his hat and sunglasses, then realized Curacao had not come to silence him.
