Tsuchimikado Motoharu meets with Management in a janitor's closet of a large department which was re-fitted to be like a small bar. Once in the meeting he does battle with Management, easily tricking him and coming out unscathed with the man not even able to draw his weapon against Tsuchimikado. Management tries to surrender but is ignored by Tsuchimikado who shoots him in the side instead of killing him. He later calls some grunts to transport Management as well as send Unabara Mitsuki (actually Etzali) to investigate Management's apartment as part of his assignment, and is informed that Accelerator is gone likely due to being sent to Avignon for a mission.
Having some sort of business ethic, inside the paddy wagon, Management is interrogated by grunts but refuses to tell them anything. While being transported in a paddy wagon by some of those in the lower echelons of he is broken out by a boy with goggles. The boy however, instead of rescuing him, subsequently kills him after crushing both his hands and his head as he was a liability to them.
