Plot
The chapter begins in the evening when Kimihito and Miia peer cautiously over a hedge at a huge building just outside of the town. A sign near the building reads Black Lily Advanced Materials Laboratory. Miia cautiously asks Kimihito if that's really the place where the men took Suu to, to which Kimihito says it should be, although he's not really sure. He quietly calls Centorea, who is pulling a ladder wagon with Lala's headless body in it.

While helping Lala's body to get off the ladder wagon, Kimihito explains to Miia how Lala threw her head into the truck of Suu's kidnapper in the previous chapter. So, by using her head, Lala can now find out where Suu is, although Miia gets an uneasy feeling from this method. Kimihito puts down Lala's body and says that according to her "head sensor", Suu should be in that huge building. However, Lala's body points her finger at different of the building in turn, to which Miia notes that the sensor is not that precise.

Unsure, Miia turns to Centorea and asks if they really should have come before Ms Smith, especially since they went to all the trouble of contacting her beforehand. Centorea doesn't want to hear about it, however, saying they can't stand idly by knowing full well that Suu has been captured. Meanwhile, in the background, Lala's body sneaks away in search of her head. Concerned, Kimihito tries to stop her at first, but then he stays with Miia and Centorea.

Meanwhile, Ms Smith has arrived at the Kurusu house, where she is quite perplexed to learn that Kimihito, Miia, Centorea and Lala have left without her. Mero explains that Centorea insisted that they leave as soon as possible, to which Ms Smith annoyed but also impressed, says that Centorea really is a warrior through and through.

Meanwhile, Kimihito wonders why there is such a huge building out here and what it could be. Miia suddenly has a thought and asks Kimihito about a rumour of a broker who brings Liminals illegally into the country and that this building could be their company. Kimihito listens to this thought and asks if Miia means the same "broker" who brought the three dangerous Liminals (Killa, Kino and Curie) into the country. Unsure, Kimihito asks Miia if she really thinks this building would be for something like that.

Miia then says that according to the rumours, in exchange for bringing Liminals into the country, the broker then forced them all to work as slaves in some kind of facility, to which Miia is shocked to think that this building might really be a forced labour camp. Uncertainly, Kimihito admits that this suggestion would explain the remote location of the building outside of Tokyo, prompting him and Centorea to imagine, horrified, that Suu might now also be forced to work as a slave in the building.

Outraged, Miia asks Kimihito if maybe these people would resort to kidnapping Liminals merely to ensure a steady work force. However, this train of thought infuriates Centorea, who, due to her sense of honour, considers it unforgivable that someone could exploit the weakness of innocent Liminals to treat them like slaves. She then draws her sword and charges towards the building to "do justice". Frightened by this hasty and ill-considered action, Kimihito tries to stop Centorea, shouting to her that the forced labour camp whole thing was just a guess and that they have no proof of what this building is really all about.

Before Kimihito and Miia can do anything, however, a spider silk lasso flies at Centorea from behind, which wraps itself around her braid and violently throws the Centauride to the ground. Stunned, Kimihito and Miia turn to see Rachnera who threw the lasso from a nearby house. Annoyed by Centorea's hasty reaction, Rachnera asks the Centauride what she was thinking while Centorea complains about her sore neck.

As Rachnera rappels from the house, Miia says that they should be able to use the Arachne to sneak into the building along the walls. However, Rachnera says they don't need to do anything like that and points to the front door of the mysterious building, where at that moment a man suddenly comes out and approaches Kimihito and the girls.

Key Events

 * It's revealed that Suu's kidnappers were working for the Black Lily Advanced Materials Laboratory, an organization that helps Liminals immigrate in exchange for their services, such as bodily products.
 * The mysterious broker that helped Killa, Kino, & Curie enter the country is revealed to be the President of the company.
 * Mr. President and Kuroko Smith know each other and have a rivalry.
 * Suu was kidnapped by accident, as the agents were actually looking for the Liminal she released from containment.
 * Because Suu was the one who let the Liminal free, Mr. President manipulates Smith into letting Suu help catch the Liminal again, to legally clean up her own mess.
 * It's shown that Lala's body can sense the general direction of her head, which is how Kimihito and the others were able to find Suu.

Trivia

 * Rachnera reveals that Mr President was waiting to "save her" back in Chapter 15 in exchange for what would have cost six months worth of "resource production". However, she didn't call for his aid due to Kimihito being there to help her.
 * As Centorea attempts to charge the laboratories to rescue Suu, Kimihito cries that she don't pull a.
 * In the Black Lily Laboratory, a member of staff can be seen plucking a leaf from an Alraune. This seems strange, since plucking the leaves of a Alraune causes a lot of pain.
