In episode 9, Musashi and his team try to uncover the true identity of the "puppeteer" who is controlling everything behind the scenes, and at the request of Hannya Ibuki (Kato Seishiro), they decide to carry out a "hostage exchange" to hand over the custody of security chief Yashiro (Takahashi Katsunori). Izumi (Sonin) plans a top-secret operation to infiltrate the SAT using the hostage exchange, but fails. Yashiro aims at Ibuki with the gun he stole from the demon during the exchange, but is shot by the demon Ruka (Himari Hitomi).

Yamato then teaches Musashi how to get into the broadcasting station without being noticed by the demons. In order to put an end to everything, Musashi teams up with Yamato again and infiltrates the broadcasting station.

Meanwhile, Ibuki reveals to Musashi and the others the existence of a "dark data vault" behind a door on the 7.5th floor, which contains evidence of crimes that the puppeteer has concealed, and demands that Musashi find out who the puppeteer is. Ibuki then hints that if they investigate Amami (played by Shigeyuki Totsugi), Okino (played by Reiko Kataoka), and Manabe (played by Nozomi Miyabe), they will discover the puppeteer's true identity, and then holds a "death press conference" with the three of them lined up...

In this episode, Musashi infiltrates the broadcasting station with Yamato and heads to Amami's desk in the news department on the 8th floor to investigate Amami. Arriving on the 8th floor via the emergency stairs, Musashi rushes down a deserted corridor with his gun at the ready, but Yamato suddenly grabs him and holds him back. Musashi exclaims, "What are you up to?", but when he follows Yamato's gaze and looks down, he sees an infrared sensor trap set up there. When Musashi exclaims in surprise, "Ah...", Yamato responds, "How many explosions do you have to get caught up in before you're satisfied?"

On social media, many people expressed sympathy for Yamato's line. Comments such as "That's so true lol," "You're so right," "That was the best," "So true," and "I understand why you would say that" were lined up.
