## Summary

Juzo arrives at the location where Noren was taken and discovers her bound by her captors. One of them attempts to harm her, but their leader intervenes and pushes him away. The leader proceeds to interrogate Noren forcefully about a drug associated with her father's pharmaceutical company, despite her having no knowledge of it. He also threatens her uncle's ramen shop, claiming dissatisfaction with his recent visit. Noren, in a state of panic, struggles to respond. Suddenly, a gunshot rings out, and the leader sitting in front of her is shot in the head. Simultaneously, a voice emerges from behind her. As Noren turns to identify the speaker, Juzo, who took out the leader, places his empty bag over her head, briefly blocking her view.

Taking charge, Juzo confronts the remaining captors, offering advice while delivering disrespectful comments. However, his frustration grows, prompting him to use non-lethal rubber bullets since he prefers not to take lives unless it's part of his professional duties. Planning their escape, he spots an ice trolley nearby and seats Noren in it, maneuvering it towards the room's exit where she was held captive. Along the way, they encounter another group of captors, whom Juzo swiftly overcomes. During this, Noren, with her head still inside the bag, experiences a sensation of dizziness while being transported in the ice trolley.

Upon successfully leaving the building, Juzo notices an approaching black van and attempts to shoot it with his gun. To his surprise, he discovers that the van's front is bulletproof, raising concerns for Kotatsu, who is observing the situation through Juzo's glasses via a video feed. Kotatsu initially hopes for Juzo's safety and escape from the van but is uncertain due to Noren's presence. However, Juzo quickly hurls his triangle template at the van's wheels, causing one of the abductors driving the vehicle to lose control and crash.

Following this, Juzo rushes to Noren's side, finding her disoriented and bewildered. He offers her an inhalant, likely to aid in her recovery. The following day, Noren awakens in her bedroom, initially thinking that the events of the previous day were mere vivid dreams. However, when she accidentally moves her left hand and feels a slight discomfort in her wrist, she realizes that everything actually happened. Upon arriving at school, she approaches Juzo and inquires about the incident, wondering if he was her rescuer. Juzo skillfully sidesteps the question, shifting the conversation towards Noren's work at the ramen shop. He asks for a small favor, expressing his desire to continue visiting the shop and requesting a complimentary item in return.
