Unfortunately for the Yume Tsukai, their leader Touko being out of action as she resolves the events of the previous job in her mind does not lighten their workload as Rinko is commissioned for a job far from home while Misako is left to hold down the fort -- usually a straightforward and uneventful job if not for two men that burst into the store and whisk her away to a warehouse before she has a chance to explain that she is not suited for combat. The section chief explains Misako the three week old situation of Kanno indulging in his fantasy of a buxom-breasted woman at his beck and call along with their being five missing female employees; in spite of comprehending the situation as a Yume Tsukai, it does not prepare Misako for Kanno to callously abandon the nightmare Pai-Pai or for beginning to sympathize with the nightmare that has now taken to pampering her. With Rinko's home commute to take several hours and Pai-Pai thinking of her as lunch, Misako ultimately has no choice but to transcend her contemptuous umbrage of Hajime Tachibana in order to survive.
