8

Fujita takes Matsumura's pulped remains to Kikurage, who is unable to restore him to life. The report on Ebisu's magic powder explains she is the sorcerer who can turn things into a reptiles; Ebisu confirms this, her returning memories including the man in Caiman's mouth saying "You're the one who got in my way!" Caiman, unwilling to let Nikaido get hurt any further, quits his job and heads back to the sorcerer world alone, leaving Nikaido to learn of it from Vaux. Shortly after arriving in the magic realm Caiman intervenes in thugs trying to kidnap a pie-maker named Fukuyama, leading Fukuyama's bosses Tanba and Kirion to take him in as cover staff for his pie shop. Risu returns to his apartment, where his head was found inside a safe, and recalls his death. Sent on a routine job by the Cross-Eyes, he turns down his friend Aikawa's offer for company as he is explicitly told to go alone. Waiting at his meeting point, an unknown assailant fatally stabs Risu from behind. Risu sees part of his killer's reflection as he dies, glimpsing a Cross-Eyes tattoo; he was murdered by a member of his own gang. In the present Risu realizes that he is starting to run out of magic charge, at which point and his body will fail and he'll be helpless. En begins planning the Blue Night Festival, a multi-day event where sorcerers place ads and applications to seek a partner, ending the event by signing a demon's binding magical contract with their partners. Caiman sneaks into the event by leaving work and stealing an event employee uniform, but becomes sidetracked when other workers keep giving him responsibilities. Noi goes to the toilet alone only to be blown up by another magic user, Baku, who seeks to force her into being his partner over Shin. (Source: Wikipedia)
