Long Summary
The chapter begins with Osamu watching as Kitora, having created a web with her Asteroid's grappling hook, battles the rabbit, using the web as a springe while she shoots the rabbit from Various directions. The C-Rank agents, including Izuho and Chika, watch in awe, and Osamu is also impressed, but Replica says she doesn't have any opening to help herself. Chika and Izuho come to talk to Osamu, but he tells them to run away with everyone else. Izuho questions this, as Kitora is strong and probable to win. Osamu explains that while she is strong, she has never fought an opponent of the kind, and doesn't know what's it capable of.

Kitora starts formulating a strategy to battle the Rabbit. She decides the best option is to get close to it and attack with Scorpion, rather than shooting at him from a safe distance, which would just consume her Trion. But before she can do anything, the Rabbit uses rockets on its back to propel itself and prepares to launch the cannon beam. Rather than shooting at her, it targets the people running away. Osamu questions the Rabbit's random shooting pattern and Replica says he should rescue the civilians, while Kitora jumps towards the rabbit, saying she's his opponent.

The Rabbit then tackles her, breaking her Scorpion, and then grabs her by the leg and throws her to the ground, Osamu calling her name worried. The Rabbit prepares to launch its cannon at her, and she thinks she'll fail, reminiscing the time when she was unable to defeat the Ilgar on her own. However, she refuses to back down, remembering she promised Osamu she'd take care of the Rabbit. She cuts off her leg using the Scorpion and uses her Asteroid to pull herself into the Rabbit' direction, bisecting its "eye" with Scorpion.

The other agents are impressed. Osamu comments on how she cut her own leg off and Izuho comments that she thought Kitora was done for. The C-Rank agents then start cheering.

Meanwhile, in Aftokrator's ship, Mira states that she found the target, a group of "baby birds" (the C-Rank agents), and says that they've apparently been tasked with evacuating the citizens. Ranbanein says that's probably the reason why the "Golden Goose" didn't show up. Kitora, who started using the Scorpion as a walking cane, says that's no time for commemoration and tells the trainees to continue the evacuation. She and Osamu then realize that the Rabbit's corpse had Rads, which leave the hull and start causing Irregular Gates to open up. From the portals, three new Rabbits come, and Hyren says it's time to catch the chicks.
