As Jean and Sakurako eat at a restaurant, Sakurako asks Jean if anything is wrong, and he comments that promises to children should be kept.
At one of the locations, Ichijo finds a rose petal outside, grabs his gun, and sneaks into the area. Once there, he finds several of the Gurongi speaking in their native language. Me-Garume-Re then tells Me-Garima-Ba that just because she has a weapon does not guarantee her becoming a Go. The two then argue, before Ra-Baruba-Da arrives to break them up. She tells them that they must win the Gegeru to become a Go. Ichijo then leaves, but as he moves towards his car, Ra-Baruba-Da appears before him. He points his gun at her, but her only reaction is to comment, in perfect Japanese, that the "Linto have changed". Ichijo orders her to freeze, but she then directs a flurry of rose petals at him, which causes him to faint.
When Ichijo awakens the next morning, he finds himself in his police car, with Yusuke in the passenger's seat next to him. He didn't find anything at his location, so he went over to Ichijo's location, where he found him passed out. Ichijo tells Yusuke that Unidentified Lifeform #B-1 spoke Japanese, worrying him that the Grongi can probably slip into society unnoticed, but decides that they need to concentrate on Unidentified Lifeform #31. Yusuke then tells Ichijo that he'll be able to hit Unidentified Lifeform #31 using Pegasus Form, but his shot may be obscured by buildings. Ichijo agrees to lend Yusuke his gun again when the time comes. They part ways—Ichijo to help the police, Yusuke to work with Sakurako to decipher the Gouram's text.

Ichijo arrives and tells Sugita that Sakurai will bring stun grenades, in order to disable its camouflage, but that the effect will only last for 5 minutes.
Sakurako tells Yusuke that the rune for "Great Future" has more than one meaning. She hypothesizes that in this context, the rune means "flying in the sky".
As the clock strikes 10, Unidentified Lifeform #31 kills a police officer, and reveals that the Gurongi kill the Linto according to a set of rules. When Sugita demands his objective, he replies that there is no objective besides winning the game. He then continues killing, until Sakurai arrives with the stun grenades, allowing the police to see and fire on Unidentified Lifeform #31, He then flees, with the police in pursuit, but runs into Yusuke, who then transforms and fights him, but is unable to finish #31 off before he becomes invisible again. Ichijo then tosses Yusuke his gun as he turns into Pegasus Form and summons Gouram, who lifts him above the city. Using Pegasus Form's senses, Yusuke manages to shoot and kill Unidentified Lifeform #31. Once the battle is over, Yusuke tells Ichijo that he thinks that he knows how to work with the Gouram, and Ichijo comments that hopefully, they can figure out what #3 is up to.
