Summary
Kisaki offers to help Takemichi and Chifuyu in their goal to stop Hakkai's plan to kill Taiju. Chifuyu is extremely hostile to this idea, as he knows that Kisaki orchestrated Baji's death and brought corruption upon Toman in the future. Kisaki says that they do not have another choice, as they would be easily overpowered by the Black Dragons without the support of the other divisions; additionally, he tells them that Mikey is currently weak. Kisaki says that he wants to stop the Black Dragons from gaining more power. Angered by Kisaki's disrespect towards Mikey, Chifuyu holds a shard of broken glass to Kisaki's neck, telling him not to act superior. In response, Hanma holds a knife to Takemichi's neck, reminding Chifuyu that infighting is prohibited, but he will not hesitate to hurt them if that expectation is broken. To convince Chifuyu, Kisaki reveals that there is a mole within the Black Dragons, and he, Hanma, Chifuyu, and Takemichi go to meet him.

They pay ¥100,000 to the mole, who is fearful of getting caught. Kisaki reassures him that no one there will turn on him. Kisaki asks the mole to inform them about Taiju's daily routines, and the mole says that he is familiar with the information. Just as he is beginning to tell them, Kokonoi bursts into the room, declaring that he smells a rat. Two other Black Dragon members drag the mole away while he desperately begs for his life.

When Kokonoi wonders what to do with the four of them, Kisaki says that they are not there to fight. Spotting the ¥100,000 on the table, Kokonoi says that he will tell them what they want to know if he is given that money. Kisaki request to know when Taiju is alone. Kokonoi says that Taiju is never alone, as he is always guarded with five soldiers, save for a single day: Christmas Day. Taiju goes to church alone on Christmas night. Kokonoi warns them that Taiju is strong even alone, and says that he cannot wait for Christmas day. When Takemichi asks why Kokonoi is betraying Taiju, he says that he just likes strong guys.

Kisaki tells Takemichi that he did not want to know when Taiju was alone to kill him; instead, he suspects that this is when Hakkai will try to kill Taiju. When Takemichi asks Kisaki if he went through all that trouble just to help them stop Hakkai, Kisaki responds that it is worth helping his teammates. He tells them that the four of them will stop Hakkai and defeat Taiju together on Christmas night, and Takemichi wonders what Kisaki's ulterior plan is.
