Disgusted with both the now unconscious weaponry smugglers and one incidence of lecherous affection too many, Naomi abruptly flies off into the night against Ichirō's protests. Back at B.A.B.E.L. Headquarters, a very anguished Ichirō shares a collection of photographs that he has taken of Naomi. After the sentiment of him having dubious ethics subsides for the moment, Ichirō shows some recent photographs that show Naomi confronting a boy and of her shoplifting. Despite the feeling of deja vu, Kaoru, Shiho and Aoi realize that Ichirō is sincerely worried about Naomi; at Minamoto's behest, Akira begins the investigation by metempsychotically possessing a hamster and searching through the Kuretake B.A.B.E.L. Girls' Dormitory to find Naomi's room—the journey thereof being quite an adventure. Minamoto and Sakaki continue to watch Naomi conduct herself through a normal school day to find nothing of interest until Naomi (after dressing the part) sets course toward a biker bar to ask the gang there about a rash of robberies vectored at junior high students that have taken place in their neighborhood. During her explanation, the photographs that Ichirō recently took are of Naomi confronting a boy (who had sold some stolen property and given the revenue to the gang) and then secretly returning the stolen item. After an argument about the merits of believing the best of people versus always assuming the worst, the bad apple Yatsu is illuminated. A chase ending in a joint Kaoru-Naomi telekinetic bungee cord and a tearful embrace exchange between brother bikers before the police arrive to arrest Yatsu later, Naomi finds herself with a personal protection and inspiration detail within the Young Tigers Motor Gang Red.
