Dahko (Masami Nagasawa) finds out that one of the plant managers for a food production company is intending on making an indictment about its company's production camouflage, which had made false statements about the origins of the eels used for their production. However, due to threats from the company's president, he is stopped from coming out with the claim.

Dahko (Masami Nagasawa) and her team decide to target a chief director of a major hospital, who had fired one of the surgeons that had operated for Richard's appendicitis operation. As a former model, the director had succeeded her deceased husband's hospital, whilst capitalizing on her high-class position in society.

While on a bicycle trip on his own, Bokuchan comes across a village of many colors. There he gets allured by a delicious ramen shop owned by a married couple. The couple had been delighted with the prospective construction of a shopping district which sells regional food specific to the village. However, after coming back to the village two years later, Bokuchan realizes that this construction project had changed to something completely unexpected.

Dahko and Bokuchan receive valuable information about one of Richard's connections. A year earlier, his connection made an attempt to steal one of Richard's wallet at a bar, however she had failed. Since then, whilst working in many kinds of jobs at night, she had become a pickpocket. Richard, who occasionally meets up with her, has time and time again tried to convince her, to live a style of life which is more ordinary, however, after failing to listen to what he has to say, a number of times, she gets handed out a prison sentence.

Dahko and Bokuchan are asked a favor from Richard, which involves targeting a doctor, and a former model called Mika. Previously, Richard had been going to a Men's Este managed by an individual called Honoka. However, when Honoka had transferred to Mika's company, she had been receiving strict training from her, eventually being forced to quit her company. Knowing that Richard is a "lawyer", she records some of the aggressive words thrown out by Mika on a voice recorder, and passes it on to him as evidence, hoping that she could receive compensation payments.

Dahko, Bokuchan and Richard decide to target the president of an IT company, as a part of their con games. Famous for creating a popular software application, the president is also into sports, having purchased many professional sports clubs. However, the eventual exploitation of his high status, has resulted in many unreasonable power games.

Bokuchan distances himself away from his team, after telling Dahko and Richard, that they no longer need to continue with their con games, as they have now earned enough. A whole year passes, and Bokuchan is now working at a moving company, where he eventually unravels new information which he is forced to investigate.
