Following their holidays, Rio drowns her sorrow in not finding love. Maya tells a story of how she visited her master Hokkaido, a former bodyguard, bounty hunter and mercenary, who rescued the young Maya from the battlefield and taught her to shoot. While there, Dill Bill, an old enemy, issued a warning and sent a group of mercenaries to kill him. Master and Maya defeated them but Master was mortally wounded and he asked her to kill him. She says she hunted down Dill and eliminated him and his men, but she then chides Rio and Lilica for taking the story seriously.
