Short
Tager continues to slowly track Noel. Noel finds Tsubaki, which results in a complicated showdown. And Rachel leads Ragna to where he needs to be and to confront what he already knows.

Long
Tsubaki Yayoi has finally found one of her targets - Noel Vermillion. Meanwhile, Makoto Nanaya has entered the Novus Orbis Librarium branch in the 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi, finding it completely empty. There, she receives an Ars Magus letter from Noel, telling her that she has found Tsubaki.

Iron Tager is on the hunt for Noel, and contacts Kokonoe to help with his mission. The cyborg proceeds to head upwards to find his target. Noel and Tsubaki walk on the higher levels of Kagutsuchi, and Noel tells her that she knows about her mission to assassinate both herself and Jin Kisaragi. Tsubaki tries to plead her, but Noel refuses, telling her that she believes something big will happen in Kagutsuchi. Ragna the Bloodedge is on a nearby walkway. Tsubaki continues to push Noel for answers on information about both Ragna and Jin, finding that they had reached an impasse. Rachel Alucard finds Ragna on one of the walkways and leads him to watch over the events between Tsubaki and Noel. Makoto begins to make her way towards the girls, and Relius Clover watches over their actions.

Thunder crackles as Tsubaki and Noel face one another. Noel begs her to let her go, and Tsubaki activates the Sealed Weapon Izayoi, activating a Zanki Barrier in order to fight against her. Hazama and Nine the Phantom continue to watch over the event, although the former knows he cannot since the Zanki Barrier is active. Tsubaki orders her to surrender. Rachel and Ragna meet Relius, and the three of them watch the events as they unfold - Relius' words cut deep with Rachel.

Tsubaki lunges towards Noel, being narrowly stopped by her Nox Nyctores, the Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk. Noel finds herself unable to pull Bolverk's triggers as Tsubaki continues her assault, knocking her to the ground. Ragna demands answers from Rachel and Relius, and learns that Noel is the twelfth Boundary Interface Prime Field Device. In her mind, Tsubaki hears Hazama's voice, and he seep poison into her ear, manipulating her to further fight Noel. Hazama screams and laughs to himself as Phantom watches him. Tsubaki's blade narrowly misses Noel, and Bolverk takes over Noel. She dishes out a powerful combo, ending in her move Type V: Assault Through. Noel wakes from her trance and runs to Tsubaki before meeting her blade. Tsubaki disengages her restraint system and launches herself at Noel, only to be blocked by Ragna's Aramasa. Tsubaki loses her temper and launches herself at Ragna, only to be disarmed.

Relius walks towards Noel, and she falls to her knees. He picks her up by the throat, calling her a defective unit. The Fluctus Redactum: Ignis prevents Ragna from coming near. Tsubaki runs away after Relius leaves, her sight becoming blurry. Rachel and Ragna allow Noel to leave, and the vampire warns him that he will have to make a decision in the near future. Hazama and Nine are in an elevator, and the former loses his cool as he realises that neither Noel nor Tsubaki have died. Noel has caught up to Tsubaki, who has lost most of her sight, from using the Izayoi. Tsubaki reveals that she has always been jealous of her friend, how she wanted to be Jin's secretary. Tager and Kokonoe talk about the Izayoi's usage, and Makoto finds Noel sitting in the rain. Noel cries and runs into her arms.
