Bols saves two merchants from being attacked by Humanoid Danger Beasts, but Wave witnesses the merchants being terrified of Bols due to his fearsome appearance. Later, Bols explains that despite his nice personality, he used to be an executioner and burned down many infested villages. Bols is visited by his wife Kije and daughter Logue, who are very well aware of his line of work. While training with Susanoo, Tatsumi considers him as a companion rather than just a tool. The members of Night Raid are given the mission to kill Humanoid Danger Beasts, intentionally helping the Imperial Army. Meanwhile, Esdeath and Run discuss that the Humanoid Danger Beasts are a result of Dr. Stylish's human experiments, therefore the Humanoid Danger Beasts must have somehow escaped their containment. While patrolling the mountains at night, Tatsumi learns that Lubbock joined Night Raid to get closer to Najenda, though his love is unrequited. Tatsumi travels alone to the summit, where he suddenly encounters Esdeath, who is shocked to see him.
