Episode Title:
Hard Case
Episode Description:
With the pretrial conference coming up, Cecil still has no objective evidence to prove Souta innocent. During the pretrial, Cecil claims that Souta was using self-defense as the legitimate reason for his actions. Law firm receptionist Mitori Batta shows Cecil and Ageha an image of the Metaboloid associated with No Face. Before Cecil attends the trial, Ageha takes Cecil to the hideout of No Face found at an abandoned factory near a bridge, only to be surrounded by the gang members. Cecil summons the Diaboloid while three gang members summon their Metaboloid, and she defeats them in battle at the river. Meanwhile, when the other gang members try to attack Ageha, law firm coworkers Natsuna Hotaru, Tsunomi Kabutohara, and Seseri Chono arrive to defend her. Before Souta is sentenced to death, Cecil enters the courthouse in time with a captured gang member, who confirms that Souta has no affiliation with No Face. With Souta now proven innocent, Cecil has won her first case.
