Chronology
Years prior to Corpse God's reincarnation as Polka Shinoyama, Momoya has an encounter with Xiaoyu Lei—a child assassin of the Heilei Clan—and cleaves Xiaoyu's limbs from his torso.

Sometime after the Corpse God's reincarnation, Momoya and 'the girls' of Agakura carry out a mission to dispatch a group of armed individuals planning an aboveground-underground attack on a station. While 'the girls' handle the group's main unit aboveground, Momoya single-handedly kills the underground 'distraction unit' before the unit's attack so much as commences; a minute later, an individual contacts him via walkie-talkie to request a status update. With Momoya's job confirmed done, the individual immediately assigns him a new, short-notice one: to 'pay a visit' to the Mediators in Shibuya.

Momoya and Higuro, a man who has hired Agakura for his own purposes, thus travel to Shinjuku without delay. As they wend their way through Shinjuku's streets, Momoya spots Xiaoyu in the far, far distance and comes to a stop. He recovers once Higuro reminds him to keep a low profile in Clarissa Kuraki's territory, and freely admits he is impressed Xiaoyu managed to survive their past encounter.

Later that day, either Higuro, Momoya, or an ally places a strange phone call to Nishida—one of Clarissa's Youtoukorou employees—likely to lure him away from work and to a discreet location. At that location, Momoya decapitates Nishida per orders. Once night falls and the moon hangs overhead, Momoya and Higuro set to work: Momoya tucks Nishida's corpse into a duffel bag that he hefts to carry while Higuro unlocks the door to a stairwell and passageway. Momoya follows him inside while questioning whether they are or are not accessing the building Phantom Solitaire visited yesterday, and Higuro explains that they are; however, since that building is under surveillance, they will have to surreptitiously use this building's passageway to carry the corpse there via the basement passageway.

As the two descend the stairwell, they encounter a trio of men loitering on one of the stair's platforms. One of the men procures a knife and 'suggests' that the duo "donate to their cause." When Higuro fails to immediately acknowledge the demand, the stockiest man grabs him and punches him in his cheek; unfazed, Higuro expounds on his belief that "connections are love" for a little while before shooting a bullet sideways through the man's mouth. He shoots the other two men in their chests, shoots the stocky man again in his back while he doubles over, and explains that they are about to die because they lack connections before shooting them dead.

Momoya laughs that Higuro is wasting his bullets as they resume their descent—taking care to step around the blood—though he concludes that the fact a 'lowlife' life Higuro is walking the streets must mean he was right about the world ending. The two are able to reach the target building's basement and deposit Nishida's headless corpse there without problems.

The morning of the next day finds Higuro and Momoya stationed in a building near the target building (the abandoned torture building), which they are spying on from a window. As a team of police park and enter the torture building, Momoya idly hopes that "this time" they will be able to easily find the body.

Two plainclothes policemen arrive as well—Tsubaki Iwanome and Kōzaburō Arase—and Higuro pales the instant he spots Arase through his binoculars, explaining to Momoya that Arase is the detective who destroyed his previous gang Sons of the Styx. Arase's unexpected involvement is enough for Higuro to conclude he cannot rely solely on what "information that came down from above," logic with which Momoya agrees even if he personally enjoys it when situations go awry; Higuro further supposes he should find out whatever he can himself, mentioning that his former informant is now working with a 'business rival'—i.e. Clarissa—in Shinjuku.

Momoya's focus shifts from Higuro to a confrontation playing out on the streets below: one between Xiaoyu and Heilei member Taipei, which is interrupted when Misaki Sakimiya cannily drags Xiaoyu away. Through observation alone, Momoya pegs Misaki not only as a killer, but as a killer who has likely killed at least ten people already. Higuro uses his binoculars to take a look—just in time to see her reconvene with his former informant Takumi Kuruya. Eyes wide, he posits that the girl is likely one of Clarissa's assassins.

Momoya muses over all the players involved so far: Polka, accompanied by an assassin and an informant; members of the Lei Family; a building visited by Phantom Solitaire; and Detective Arase—and he happily predicts this job will be far more fun than he thought it would be.

When the police finally leave the premises, they do so without urgency and without making any arrests—a sure sign that Nishida's corspe somehow remained undetected during the premises search. Higuro seeks answers.

That evening, Momoya breaks into Takumi's empty apartment and waits in the shadows for Takumi to arrive home. Rather than confront Takumi immediately, he holds off until Higuro rings Takumi's flat; as Takumi backs away from his intercom, Momoya then reveals himself by suggesting that Takumi let Higuro inside—only to do the honors by pressing his weapon against the unlock panel with enough force to make the panel crack.

Once Higuro joins them in Takumi's flat, and Takumi's arms and legs are bound together, Momoya stands back to let Higuro interrogate his former comrade. Higuro stabs two pens into Takumi's left thigh before asking him how his people managed to hide the body, explaining that his employer needs the police to find the corpse in the building and make everyone associated with that building suspects; now that Takumi has heard all this, he adds, Takumi must know he is out of options.

Momoya, registering movement outside the several-storeys-high window, remarks Takumi may still have options after all. A moment later, Misaki smashes a hole through the window with her crowbar and launches herself at him. Momoya blocks her crowbar swing with his blade, and is shocked to find her strength is superior given the difference in their bodies; despite this, he manages to block her next swing. He is again surprised when she jumps over him—the first person to ever do so—but slices his blade clean through her torso while she is airborne, cleaving her in twain.

With blood from a temple cut trickling down his face, he opines their alteration was truly a close call.

Higuro injects Takumi with a drug that causes him to pass out, and telephones a superior to report the 'hiccup' while Momoya packs Takumi's body into his duffel bag. They leave Misaki's bifurcated corpse behind in the flat before descending to where they have parked a black van. With Momoya and the duffel bag in the back, and Higuro behind the wheel, they speed off down a major street.

Something slams onto the van's roof—a someone, judging by the footsteps, and Momoya stabs his blade through the van's roof while Higuro swerves down a side road in a bid to throw the attacker—Misaki—off the van. The bid works, and they successfully reach their hideout soon enough. There, Momoya strips Takumi of his outer shirt and examines him for weapons; finding none, he scoffs disbelievingly at the idea of someone so heavily involved in illegal activities not carrying a weapon for self-defense. However, upon realizing that Takumi may possess a transmitter instead, he is quick to suggest they break Takumi's cell phone. Higuro gives him permission to once only after he (Higuro) has a chance to examine the phone's data.

Not entirely satisfied, Momoya rolls Takumi onto his back and asks if his headset-visor might have an embedded transmitter or radio. Higuro supposes it probably does, but their hideout's radio wave-jamming capabilities should render the possibility moot—and his and Momoya's own cell phones moot, for that matter. Momoya briefly considers the trouble he will be in if 'the girls' try to contact him, but accepts whatever trouble may come.

Higuro accuses Takumi of feigning sleep, and is proved correct once Takumi reacts to the threat of torture. Takumi is taken aback to learn that Momoya is an Agakura, while Momoya is similarly impressed that his family is well-known; to this, Takumi says the Agakura Clan is infamous in the underworld and that Higuro used to warn him against engaging with Agakura at all costs. Higuro affirms this to be the case—and that he subsequently hired Agakura's men to be on his side, just as Takumi did with the Heilei. At Takumi's sincere bewilderment, Higuro tells him that Xiaoyu is an assassin employed by the Shinoyamas.
