## Chronology

### Background

According to Lisa Kuraki, Nishida had a dark and shady past. Like most employees at the Youtoukorou, his work history is concealed.

### Central Office Conspiracy

Nishida was promptly beheaded by Momoya Agakura in an alley on his way to his place of employment. Upon finding his Youtoukorou card and realizing he was a bartender, Momoya expressed dissatisfaction in killing Nishada as his victim could have made him a drink before he was killed.

His disappearance was noticed by his co-worker Urai who believed that Nishida had flaked out of work. Lisa though suspected something was amiss and had her people head to his apartment to see if he was okay.

Nishida's body was then collected by Momoya who followed Kuon Higuro's orders to bring the corpse in a bag to a building to enter through the basement of another.

The bartender's ghost manifest and was initially confused on his surroundings. Realizing he needed to get back to work, Nishida walked through the rainy streets to head back to the bar. While walking in the rain, Nishida noticed Urai speaking to Kochou Eightport. He tried to get his coworker's attention, then he noticed that he could not talk, further more he found his neck bleeding due to the wound he sustain when he died. Nishida then realized that he was killed and a ghost.

He followed Urai into the building which houses Corpse God's fortune telling shop as Kochou managed to trick Urai in getting a reading. When Corpse was aware that Nishida was in the room, the ghost was ecstatic that there was someone who could hear and see him. Nishida pleaded to Corpse God to tell Urai what had happened to him, in that he was murdered.

Later Nishida's whereabouts were inquired by the police officers who came to Youtoukorou, despite the fact his work history should have been hidden. A man named Ikeuchi from the Central Office of the Metropolitan Police Department came to Corpse God's shop, claiming he was looking for Nishida as he was a suspect of a mugging and that it was reported that he had fled into the building. Nishida who is listening to this vehemently denied the accusations stating he was innocent.

It was later deduced by Miyabi Hosorogi, who silently communicated to Corpse God, that Nishida's body was planted in the basement in order to implicate Lisa of the crime who was the owner of the building.

In order to avoid police scrutiny, Corpse God used his undead servants to move the body from the basement and through the hidden passage where it was brought in. To the confusion of the police from the Central Office they found no body like they expected and without any evidence to support their allegation of Nishida's mugging they were driven off by the local Shinjuku police officers who began to become suspicious of the outsider officers interest in the building.

After the incident, Nishida's corpse was kept hidden in the secret basement passage and Urai was sent back to Youtoukorou. Over in Youtoukorou, Urai shakily wonders whether he will be killed next while Nishida's unseen spirit shivers by his side. Later he is seen listening with Urai at the sidelines when Lisa fails to reach Takumi. When the bunnies speculate that it would be 'bad' if Takumi has been captured by the enemy Clarissa is of the opinion this is "actually perfect timing," opining that Takumi needs a new connection besides 'fear' to shackle him. The two bartenders receive more shivers of fear from the menacing aura of their employer upon hearing this.
