Hibiki and Chris are sent into action after Elza and Millaarc attempt to silence a delinquent that witnessed a deal between them and some men in suits. Retrieving a briefcase filled with a rare type of blood that was dropped by Elza, S.O.N.G. deduce from the delinquent's account that an organization is helping the alchemists. Shortly after awakening from her ordeal, Tsubasa is further shaken from harsh words from Fudou, who states she isn't strong enough to protect people. Later that night, Kirika and Shirabe confront Millaarc after she targets a hospital for more blood, but she escapes thanks to Vanessa, the third alchemist of their group known as Noble Red. Afterwards, it is revealed that Vanessa, who now possesses the Bracelet of Shem-Ha found on the corpse, is working together with Fudou.
