Synopsis
Comps-3 members Kōzaburō Arase and Kayakusa shine their flashlights around a hospital room while Danjō Tozawa and Ranmaru Yatsu look on from the doorway. The room is too barren for Iwanome's liking, despite Tozawa's remark that the hospital was never put on the market: the graffiti on one of the room's walls suggests the place is a hooligan's hangout, yet the floor and other sections appear to be brand-new and/or recently cleaned—as if, Arase speculates, someone experienced had attempted to erase evidence of something. Iwanome certainly thinks whoever is operating the building is hiding something.

He leads Comps-3 down a corridor, heedless of the moans and scratching sounds carried through the nearby pipe. Three male spirits with blood leaking from empty eye sockets and gunshot wounds scratch at a closed door that blocks the top of a single stairwell. With the memory of Kuon Higuro shooting them still relatively fresh, they hiss a hitching complaint: "Use your ears, you stupid cops."

In a room presumably situated in the Republic of Lugnisas,¹ Higuro reads the latest local news from Shibuya on his laptop and, in the absence of news about the beasts at the hospital, concludes that the hospital has not reached over-capacity yet—though he expects it will sooner than later. "Same as with that building..." he muses, "...the undertaker probably isn't getting sufficient 'food' into the hospital." It is with mild curiosity rather than any actual care that he wonders whether his men have been keeping up with food deliveries or whether his replacement mediator is handling matters.

A man, followed by a woman, enters the room and asks that Higuro conclude his "silly story" by sharing the results of his experiment in Japan.

In the stairwell with Katashiro and Polka Shinoyama, Corpse God becomes certain that the people in the basement are fighting werewolves, though goodness knows how a werewolf pack found itself on Earth. Framrodia Byandiraz remarks that these werewolves are nothing like the Imperial Glamor Unit's vice captain Jangrad Diromorigh the 14th; Jangrad is the only frame of reference Corpse God has for what werewolves are like, but it suffices for him to believe the werewolves are frenzied, incapable of self control, and out of their minds. His magic, however, he worries will not suffice when he confronts them—and although Majiri Agakura's power likely would, he dares not risk relying on it when Majiri's intentions are inscrutable.

Framrodia remarks, "But...you won't run away again this time, will you?" regarding Corpse God's potentially insufficient magic, and Corpse God agrees. This time, he chose to come here.

In one of the secret rooms, the Shinoyama Security client's daughter stares at her werewolf friend's wheezing form and remembers how the beasts caught her other friend, Kura. Between Kura's death and the wild monsters, she feels as if she is going insane. The reason Kura had brought her in the first place was to give her a surprise present, and she wonders helplessly what it could have been.

Over in the corridor or elsewhere nearby, sachets of drugs spill from a massive hole torn in Kura's backpack.

Xiaoyu Lei attempts to parse the cacophony of noise he can hear throughout the building: there is the clamor of the Agakuras fighting in the basement and the armed men at the main gate and back door, and there is also the sound of footsteps running above that he assumes is Corpse God—or, hold on, is someone walking behind Corpse God? Why??

A soft clink nearby snaps him to alarmed attention. Did it come from in the ceiling? No, the ducts. Xiaoyu ushers Sayo away from the wall seconds before an overhead vent collapses under the weight of two children who fall with it, toppling a shelving unit in the process.

Trivia

 * ¹ The Mediterranean republic that Higuro flew to is spelled "Lignisasse" and as "Lignisse" in the Yen Press individual release of Chapter 82. The "Lugnisas" spelling is used in Chapter 90.
 * Similarly, the hospital's name is spelled 'Ataraya' in this chapter, but it is spelled both 'Ataraya' and 'Arataya' in Chapter 92 and again as 'Arataya' in Chapter 94.

Referbacks

 * Higuro shoots the three men in Chapter 38.
 * The man and woman who enter Higuro's room are the mafiosi who speak with Higuro in Chapter 90.
 * The panel of Jangrad on page six is a "werewolf reveal" of the panel featuring Jangrad in Chapter 25 (Volume 3, page 205). However, the volume edition of Chapter 25 spell Jangrad's family name as "Dimorigh," not "Dimorigh," and Jangrad's famous unit is called the "Imperial Gorgeous Unit," not "Imperial Glamor Unit." The anime's subtitles translate it as "Dazzling Corps" when it is elsewhere referenced.
