## Summary

As he and Chifuyu walk through their school, Takemichi wonders how he will defeat Mikey aloud. When Chifuyu tells him not to blurt out random things, Takemichi insists that he is serious. Hearing this, Chifuyu suggests they reunite Toman, as they need strength to take on Mikey and the Kanto Manji Gang. Just then, Hakkai joins their conversation, asking what they are talking about; Takemichi becomes nervous, as he is unable to tell Hakkai about his time-leaping. Hakkai remarks that they look unoccupied and tells them he has something to show them.

Arriving at a lavish office, Takemichi does not initially recognize Pah-chin behind the desk, thinking that he is in the yakuza. As Pah-chin introduces himself, Takemichi reacts in surprise, exclaiming that Pah-chin got released from juvenile detention. At a nearby table, Mitsuya turns around, asking if Takemichi is making a joke, as Pah-chin was released long ago. Sitting near him is Peh-yan, who asks if Takemichi is looking for a room as well. Takemichi is delighted to see all of them.

Hakkai asks if Mitsuya is looking to rent a room; Mitsuya says that he is thinking of renting a small design studio, while Pah-chin remarks on Mitsuya's pickiness. As Takemichi remembers that Pah-chin and Peh-yan are future business partners, Hakkai asks Peh-yan to find a room for him, as living with Yuzuha has been tiring. As Peh-yan eagerly shows Hakkai and Chifuyu a list of rentable rooms, Takemichi looks on, thinking to himself that everyone has grown up. As everyone banters over the price and features of each room, Chifuyu turns to Takemichi, suggesting he recruit them for his plan. Though Takemichi acknowledges that their strength would be valuable, he decides against it, surprising Chifuyu.

Riding back on the subway, Hakkai remarks his admiration of Mitsuya, Pah-chin, and Peh-yan, as they are moving forward with their lives; he says he has to keep up with them. Takemichi reassures him, telling Hakkai that he is fine where he is, as he will become someone great eventually. Hakkai asks how he is so sure about this. After Hakkai leaves them, Chifuyu asks Takemichi why he did not tell anyone about his plan, as it was an opportune time, with everyone there. Takemichi says that he cannot bring himself to ask them, as they have all embarked on their paths in life. Chifuyu wonders if there is anyone else they can recruit; as he pulls out his phone, he realizes he is late for his part-time job. As Takemichi watches Chifuyu go into his pet store job, he remembers Chifuyu's future as a pet store owner.

Running through the streets, Takemichi realizes that all the old Toman members now have personal goals. Remembering that this is the future Mikey promised to protect, Takemichi decides that he cannot involve anyone else in his plan, resolving to take on Mikey alone. As he stands, overlooking the harbor, Takemichi remarks that he does not have any leads to do this. Just then, his phone rings with a call from Draken, who asks him to come by for a bit.
