The Day is Short, and the Way is Long.The Toramaru begin their revenge by indiscriminately beating members of the Dollars. Shizuo is being framed for taking out three members of the Awakusu Group, but he evades engaging in combat with the other members when he momentarily becomes surrounded. Impatient with Mikado making a decision, Aoba has his friends shut the doors of the abandoned factory. Shiki visits Shinra, who says that Shizuo recently came by with a short fuse and had a little girl in tow. Aoba, believing it was Izaya who gave the warning instead of Masaomi, plans to keep Mikado in the abandoned factory while meeting up with Anri. Celty, who was peeping behind a broken window, receives a call from Shinra, thus her cover is blown. Some members of Toramaru come to fight Aoba and his friends, prompting Aoba to defend Mikado and refer to him as the boss. Celty takes Mikado to meet with Anri and Akane, while the Blue Squares take care of Toramaru. Shiki's henchmen find Anri and Akane at the subway station before Mikado and Celty arrive. However, other members of Toramaru arrive as well and start a fight with Shiki's henchmen, allowing Mikado, Celty, Anri and Akane to escape, with Celty turning Shooter into a horse and phaeton. Vorona and Slon continue to follow Celty, proceeding with caution.
