Eto approaches Ayato Kirishima with a message from Tatara; he is offered a bodyguard job at the upcoming auction ran by Big Madam, so is expected to pay well. After confirming that Naki and Miza will be on his team, he agrees. Before leaving, Eto tells Ayato that if Floppy shows, to "finish it". Ayato is displeased at the request. Afterward, Shirazu and Saiko rest while Haise teaches Tooru how to dual wield knives. Observing from afar, Shirazu comments on how Haise is working hard, but Saiko disagrees and complains about losing weight. Shirazu notices Kuki Urie from the window in another room.
