Najenda dispatches Night Raid to take down eight tribal assassins trying to invade the hideout. The next morning, Tatsumi is assigned to train under Night Raid member Mine. It becomes an embarrassing situation when he walks in on her at the moment she is getting dressed. While roaming the streets, Tatsumi becomes frustrated because he mainly shopped around town with Mine for some clothes. Later on, Najenda sends Night Raid on a mission to assassinate Iokal, a distant blood relative of Prime Minister Honest of the Empire. Iokal is responsible for kidnapping women and abusing them to death. At the mansion, Tatsumi watches as Mine uses her Imperial Arms Pumpkin, a powerful rifle gun, to snipe Iokal dead, despite Iokal being surrounded by innocent people. The last one of five bodyguards ambushes Tatsumi and Mine, having escaped from being killed by the rest of the members of Night Raid. Tatsumi restrains the bodyguard, giving Mine the opportunity to snipe. However, Tatsumi is upset that Mine grazed his hair with her shot.
