Odc. 8: Toshihiko undergoes mental torture by Shokujinki led by Gakuto while Yuka watches.

8

Toshihiko is captured and held prisoner by a group of Shokujinki; led by Yuka's former lover, Gakuto. Yuka reluctantly allows this most likely still feeling betrayed from his tryst with Rie. While Toshihiko thinks he's being tortured, they are only mentally tricking him into believing it. There it is revealed that their group has a personal vendetta against the Kifūken and accuse him of knowing of their heinous acts; such as slaughtering one of their villages where the children had committed no bad deeds and then demand to know what they do with the arms murdered of the Shokujinki. The leader hints that lately the Kifūken and Ōba have been selling drugs and accuses the group of using their arms as ingredients. Though Toshihiko has no idea his group was doing this, he claims his innocence. After leaving him to rest, Gakuto reveals her secret. He knows she's pregnant and asks right away if the child is his. Not too long the Kifūken discovers their location and storm the place. Though both sides lose men, Gakuto is able to buy his men some time and tells them to escape. He also stalls so Yuka and Toshihiko can escape. But not before asking Toshihiko whom he thinks the father of her baby is. Much to Toshihiko's surprise as he had no idea she was pregnant.
