Plot
The chapter begins early in the morning when Kimihito stands in front of the Arctic Inn with Mero and Suu. Kimihito says this onsen trip was a lot of fun, while Mero agrees that this was the first time they've been on a trip together and that she would love to do it again. As they reminisce, Mero says the shrine festival was so impressive while Suu adds that the cow's milk (which she drank direct from the bucket) was yummy. However, what Mero is really excited about is to go to the renovated house, although Kimihito doesn't think that the workers made many changes to it.

As Kimihito looks around, he notices that Ms Smith is late and that they even sent Miia and the other girls to go get her, but they're still not back. He adds that it was also a good idea to ask them to bring Papi back too, since she really couldn't tear herself away from the farm (because she loved the chicks too much).

Unbeknownst to them, however, they are observed from a van by someone with binoculars. The person announces that the targets are confirmed and orders the three to be taken into custody. The van pulls up suddenly and stops right in front of Kimihito, Mero and Suu. Before the three can react, they are grabbed by two strong arms and dragged inside the van, which drives off immediately.

After Kimihito has recovered somewhat from the shock, he asks the two drivers who they are and why they took them into the van. The two apologize for the rough treatment and introduce themselves as Liz, a Lizardfolk woman, and Kinu, a red Oni. They explain that they are part of the private security company TALIO and that they have been charged with protecting the three.

In response to Kimihito's question, Liz explains that they are, more accurately, the TALIO firm's Liminals oriented task squad. After the Extraspecies Exchange bill took effect, many different Liminal species came to Japan but at the same time disputes between those Liminals and humans also broke out. However, the bill made it complicated for humans to resolve these disputes (since it prohibits humans and Liminals from doing anything to each other, even arrests) and the disputes were also too petty for governmental organizations to deal with. For this reason TALIO was founded, a private enterprise by Liminals for Liminals since the bill doesn't prohibit Liminals from arresting each other.

Kinu proudly adds that they're special bodyguards for Liminal VIPs, to which Kimihito asks why a private security company should protect him and his girls. Liz explains that their client engaged them to protect the three and Mero hesitantly asks if they're sure they have the right people. Liz then turns to them (although she is driving), confident that they have the right people, and hands them the client's request form, whereupon Kimihito, startled, tells her to keep her eyes on the road so she can see where she drives.

Kinu reads out the request form telling them to find and protect X-O (and everyone with them). Kimihito doesn't quite know what to say to that since he doesn't know who "X-O" is supposed to be. Kinu asks the same question to Liz, but she annoyedly calls Kinu an "idiot" and that she should think. Liz assumes that "X-O" stands for "unidentified humanoid Slime", which would mean that Suu is the VIP. Kinu immediately agrees triumphantly, but Mero and Kimihito aren't sure what to make of it, with Kimihito wondering what's up with those two "nincompoops".

Desperate, he tells them they have the wrong people and asks them to let them out. However, Liz loudly refuses his request, saying that they must complete their mission and that they will show them how useful they are. Frightened, Kimihito calls out to her again to look at the road while the van starts to sway dangerously and drives in a Zigzag course due to Liz's lack of concentration.

A short time later they have to stop in Tokyo at the side of the road because the van has gotten a wheel stuck due to Liz's unfocused driving style. While Liz and Kinu are lamenting the incident, Kimihito rolls his eyes because he specifically told Liz to look at the street. With no choice, Liz decides to continue on foot, telling Suu that she needs to stay close to them as their VIP. However, Suu doesn't understand what a "VIP" is supposed to be, whereupon Mero explains the meaning to her and Kimihito adds that it means that Suu is more important than everyone here.

Suu thinks about it for a moment, before suddenly excitedly jumping on Kinu's back as well, holding on to her horns to be carried piggyback by the Oni woman. While Kimihito tells Suu that he only made an example, Kinu says that the Slime girl is heavy and asks her to let go of her horns as they are very sensitive. However, Liz tells Kinu that Suu is their VIP and that they have to follow her orders.

As if on cue, Suu says she's thirsty, and Liz quickly buys her a soda from a nearby vending machine. However, when Suu opens the soda, some of it drips under Kinu's clothes, much to her inconvenience. The next moment, however, Suu's eyes sparkle with delight and she tucks her Slime tentacles into Kinu's shirt and, while sucking up the soda, begins massaging the Oni woman's large breasts at the same time, much to Kinu's shock. While Liz shouts at her to bear it, Kimihito thinks that Suu hopefully doesn't form any weird habits out of this.

Suddenly, Liz stops abruptly and then shouts for the others to follow her because they are being followed by someone. Kimihito is startled by the news, although Mero states that she didn't notice it at all. Kimihito is initially impressed by Liz's attention and thinks to himself that no matter what he thinks of the two agents, they seem to still be professionals. However, this good impression is immediately nullified when Kinu also states that she hasn't heard anyone, whereupon Liz says that this situation is exactly when a spy would appear and that she saw it in a movie. Kimihito then thinks to himself that the two are just idiots.

Shortly thereafter, the five are in an alley that turns out to be a dead end. Kinu notes with amusement that Liz sure knows this stuff since that kind of thing happens in movies too, although Liz is too embarrassed to reply. However, their thoughts are interrupted when they suddenly hear loud footsteps approaching them and Kimihito is startled and wonders if they really are being followed by someone. He first tries to reassure himself that that's definitely not the case, but when he sees Liz and Kinu's faces frozen in shock, he's worried again.

Mero then suddenly calls out to Suu that's it time to use "that technique". To the amazement of the others, Suu then spreads out over Mero and uses her shapeshifting abilities to take the shape and form of a trash compactor with Mero inside, perfectly camouflaging herself and the Mermaid. The others are initially deeply impressed by this, but the next moment they are startled and wonder where they should hide themselves, since there is not enough space in the "trash compactor". As the footsteps get closer and closer, Kimihito looks around frantically until he discovers a large closet that is also in the alley. He then grabs Liz and Kinu and, despite their protest, pulls himself and them into the closet just in time and closes the door just before the pursuer enters the alley.

Inside the closet, the three are squeezed uncomfortably close together, not least to the limited space and Kinu's size. This is particularly uncomfortable for Kimihito as his hand is pressed on Liz's butt, much to her disgust. After they calm down, Kimihito asks if there really is someone following them, to which Liz explains that the client's request said there was a good chance that a certain dangerous Liminal person would try to attack the target. An extremely dangerous person who has many names like "the devil of our time", "the witch doctor", or "the witch of the deep sea".

While the three are still trying to behave calmly, a beetle suddenly falls from the ceiling of the closet and lands down Kinu's neck. This causes the Oni woman to panic so much that she screams hysterically. Liz tries to calm her down, but to no avail, as Kinu panics even more, causing the closet to shake, catching the pursuer's attention. Finally, Kinu rips open her blouse to shake off the beetle, but the sight of her bare breasts reflexively causes Kimihito to become sexually aroused with heavy nosebleeds. He quickly puts his hand over his nose, but some of his blood still squirts out of the closet's slits, so the pursuer now knows exactly where the three are hiding.

Now that they've been blown, the three are now considering what to do. Liz thinks that she has no choice and remove her pants and says she will amputate her tail (like a normal lizard) so they can escape while the enemy is distracted. Kimihito is shocked by this and asks worried if she will be okay if she does that. Liz then reassures him that he needn't worry, but then adds that Lizardfolk tail is also the organ that stores the body's nutrients and that the worst-case scenario if she cuts her tail off could be that she dies of malnutrition.

Key Events

 * Liz, Kinu, Sebasstian & Flounnder make their debut.
 * Draco and Lilith make an appearance.
 * Mero is confirmed to be genuine royalty, specifically princess Meroune, and is urgently summoned back home by the queen as someone is hunting her.

Trivia

 * The fight between Draco/Lilith and Liz/Kinu is notable in that their species are similar to each other: Draco (Dragonewt) versus Liz (Lizardfolk) and Lilith (Devil) versus Kinu (Oni).
 * Kimihito comments that a tired Smith looks like Sadako.
 * In one of the memories at the beginning of the chapter, Kimihito, Mero, Miia and Rachnera are startled when Suu drinks the cow's milk from the bucket. This is because raw milk from a cow's udder usually contains harmful microorganisms and can therefore lead to health problems. The concern was unnecessary, however, as Suu, as a Slime, is immune to diseases.
 * Kimihito's suspicion that the workers didn't make that many changes to the Kurusu house would later prove humorously wrong in Chapter 45 and Chapter 46, as Mero's mother made numerous alterations to the house to the point that it could even been flooded.
