## Synopsis

### Kori Hotel Arc

With the Kori Hotel wanting the Todoroki Alliance to relocate to the Kansai region to avoid having them as potential threats to their business, Inari is tasked by her boss Tamagawa to find Kotton and send him a message that he would like to request a meeting with him about this matter.

Upon locating him at Central Park, where the leader of the Todoroki Alliance finds remnants of his fallen comrades who were killed by the Enma Syndicate, Inari disguises herself long enough to overhear his frustration over the event. After Kotton sees through her deception, Inari undo's her transformation and introduces herself. Initially, Kotton becomes reluctant to trust her but complies with Urara and Oboro suggestions in hearing what the Kori Hotel has to say to them.

After leading them to the hotel, along with providing them with information about the building, Inari stands by as Tamagawa talks to Kotton, Urara, and Ten. Inari is then ordered by Tamagawa to later perform a background check on Urara, along with Ten, and write a report on them after Urara tells Tamagawa that the Todoroki Alliance will not comply with his demands and is informed by Kotton that the gang is now under her command. With this decided, Tamagawa resorts to holding them prisoner inside their room after it changes, prompting Inari and Tamagawa to inform them that the building is actually general manager Gyobu-Danuki's scrotum that is durable from the inside out.

While their locked up, Inari meets with Oboro disguised as Kotton to have the Todoroki Alliance assemble for an emergency. However, Inari is kicked away by Maruo and reverts back to her normal form. She tells Maruo that she is surprised that he managed to see past her trickery, only for him to state that it was because he was remotely told by Urara about her current situation. Inari is then tied up and held captive by the Todoroki Alliance as they prepare for war against the Kori Hotel.
