Fortune is Fickle and Blind Nio takes Kurima on a tour around Nagisaki to familiarize him with the city's layout, where they witness the corrupt magistrate Sakata frame an innocent shopkeeper for opium smuggling. Usui arranges for Kurima to be Soji's roommate, much to Soji's annoyance. Usui then meets with the local government official Isarizawa, who asks him about Kurima's location and his involvement in Hirata's murder, though Usui feigns ignorance. Isarizawa then reveals that one of Sakata's victims has decided to hire the Revengers to eliminate Sakata, and Usui accepts the job. Teppa and Nio investigate him and discover that Sakata has secretly been framing other people to cover up his own opium smuggling operation. Soji volunteers to take the job and takes Kurima with him, making a bet that whoever has the most kills can take their room for themselves. Kurima and Soji then assault Sakata's residence, killing him and his bodyguards with Kurima saving Soji from a hidden guard. Both men then return home with a newfound mutual respect for each other. Meanwhile, Teppa warns Usui that if Kurima gets too involved with the Revengers, it could spell trouble for them all, which Usui acknowledges.
