Ep. 3: Masaru seeks refuge with Zenji while Shirogane assaults the Saiga villa with Narumi.

Masaru stays with his uncle Zenji Saiga, though he remains suspicious. The Slaughter Team prepares to attack the Saiga villa as Narumi and Shirogane launch a frontal assault on the Kidnap Team. Shirogane fights Takami while Nakata attacks with a Rolling Arms karakuri, but a trap destroys the puppet and kills Nakata. Shirogane releases Harlequin to destroy the door, allowing Ashihana’s men to enter. Takami attacks with her karakuri Theogualtier, which Shirogane destroys using Harlequin. Meanwhile, Masaru hides from Zenji and finds notes revealing he is bait to destroy the Kuroga clan. Narumi and Shirogane fall into a trap, causing Narumi to have a Zonapha attack where she explains her past. Masaru jumps from a tower window to escape Zenji, landing safely near Ashihana, and offers to hire the Slaughter Team.
