After Dazai read Kouyou's letter aloud, the mood in the agency lifted tremendously.

She wrote about the current situation in the mafia and that fewer and fewer members agree with the things Mori did. Kouyou foresaw an uprising and said that this would be the perfect way to take the mafia up. She didn't even ask for a reduced sentence. In the letter she wrote that she was aware of how much blood was on her hands.

Her only request was that Chuuya take care of Kyouka and she could see Daira at least once. Kyouka hadn't done anything, so she shouldn't be punished.

The agency immediately started making plans and even the president left his office and helped them. After a few hours they had a first draft of the plan and it quickly became clear that this would be a huge action. Most likely, even the military police would help. Slowly everyone became tired and so they called it a day.

The next morning, Kyouka woke up in Daira's bed. She couldn't remember how she got there. However, she suspected that she must have fallen asleep during the drive here and Dazai had carried her to bed.

After briefly being in the bathroom, she made her way to the kitchen, as she had heard voices from there. When she entered the room, the smell of crepe rose into her nose. Chuuya stood at the stove, in an apron, and made crêpes. Dazai was setting the table and Daira seemed to be still asleep. "Good morning," Chuuya smiled at her. "Had a good slep?" said Dazai. She had a small smile on her face. "Yes, thank you for letting me stay with you. I love crepes," she replied. "I know, that's why there's some for breakfast today," Chuuya said as he turned another crepe in the pan. Then he turned to Dazai: "Can you please wake up Daira?The crepes are ready. Sit down at the table Kyouka," he said as he took off his apron and came to the dining table with the plate of crêpes. After a moment's hesitation, she sat down with him at the table. She was not used to such warm-heartedness and was afraid of being too pushy.

A few minutes later, Dazai came into the kitchen with Daira in his arms. She yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Good morning," she mumbled.

After breakfast, the four made their way to the office. There, the adults discussed the last things of the plan while Kyouka took care of Daira together with Atsushi. She had felt comfortable near the elder from the beginning.

Kyouka felt that if she had had a big brother, he would be like Atsushi.

Daira desperately wanted to be told a fairy tale that day, so the three sit down on the sofa in the agency and Atsushi began to tell them a fairy tale.

After several hours, Daira had fallen asleep on boredom. Dazai is expanding Atsushi and Kyouka into her plan. In three days the time had come. Then the port mafia would finally be defeated and Daira and Chuuya would also be safe.
