Mireille and Kirika continue to look for the mysterious book associated with Les Soldats. They meet with a rare books expert, who tells them that there should be a third copy of the Langonel Manuscript; the first two were burned during a war. Mireille and Kirika learn that Casper Edlinger, a multimillionaire, possesses the third copy. They arrange a meeting with him but discover that his copy was also destroyed in a fire. Mireille and Kirika then encounter Chloe, who recites a passage from the Langonel Manuscript and explains the true meaning of "Noir". The three soon are ambushed by low-ranking members of Les Soldats but defeat them rather easily. Chloe reveals to Kirika that she was born and raised to be assassin. Chloe attempts to perform a ritual with Kirika, but Mireille stops them.
