With Ayano's cooperation, Shu won a bidding war at a discounted price to participate in the "D Hazard" prevention operation that occurred in a casino. At the scene of the demon extermination, he planned to rely on Kisara's demonic powers, but she is nowhere to be found due to the money situation ruining her mood.

But even more problematic is the current lack of living expenses. Shu finds out that the incoming deposit he was relying on is still on its way due to a misunderstanding, so he asks Ayano for some contract work. And thus, Shu and Kisara find themselves safeguarding the 25th anniversary party of Bayron City and protecting the mayor from terrorist threats.

Those who took the situation most seriously decided to suspend bidding and expelled Shu from hazard prevention measures.
