Machi (Ueno Suzuka) was released from police custody thanks to the intercession of her lawyer Kaieda (Yoshi Sakou). Kaieda then attended a meeting with Goroku, Ichika (Toda Erika), Hayase (Suzuki) disguised as Gido, and Kikuchi. Kaieda reported that Machi would likely continue to be questioned by the police, but that her safety would be ensured thanks to Kaieda's plan to collude with the people involved.
In response, Ichika also reported that "there is no evidence remaining to show the flow of money," and Hayase also said that he did not expect the police to have obtained any information linking them to the organization.
Meanwhile, Kikuchi said, "I was wondering what would happen, but the best thing is that the damage to the organization was minimal," and sipped his wine, laughing with Kaieda and the others.
Up until now, Kikuchi has only appeared in scenes where he is eating food prepared by Goroku with the executives. He has been attracting attention as a mysterious character whose true identity is unknown, and on social media there has been excitement, with comments such as "What is it with Tsukaji in the reboot? Who is he really? So far he's just eating a delicious meal, right? There must be something going on?", "Tsukaji is just too mysterious," "Tsukaji is really starting to get suspicious lol It's suspicious that Tsukaji only appears for a short time...!" and "The most suspicious thing is Tsukaji who is just there."
