It is Assistant Inspector Izumida's day off and while the rest of Superintendent Yakushiji's staff can only hope that things turn out well in his absence, Yakushiji impatiently bide her time. Two newspaper reporters take issue with the young Superintendent's well-known notoriety within the police force as the successor of JACES and, in spite of having been warned against it, decide to stalk her in the hopes of digging up dirt they could use to appeal to public sentiment. Yakushiji then leads them across town through several establishments with Izumida in tow, having picked him up the moment office hours - and his day off - ended.
