The fiery forest, hills, mansion, and dark seas set the night ablaze an hour after the sudden attack of Bonten's enemy from Spain and first of the Divine Triad—Paradiso.

After Choko Shiniki found Sarina Samidori with the Haitani Brothers, she took her to one of the  emergency yachts with Kinana, Yukino, Sara Murakami and Marko, one of Sanzu's guards. However, an incident happened that led to the only man's demise and a certain brunette finding out that Sara Murakami is Paradiso's planted spy on Bonten, particularly on the second-in-command. 

They also found out that one of the objectives of Paradiso was to kill Mitsuki. Hence, Yukino went back to the island with Choko with the hopes that they find Mitsuki ahead of time and save her life. Which they did, at the cost of a certain someone's freedom. Paradiso fled away and took their main target, Yukino Miyazaki, away from Bonten's safety and from the man who loves her so much, Sanzu, who was not being able to do anything.

The girls are supposed to go to another island but with their navigator, Marko who was unexpected met his demise; they had no choice but to stay in the middle of the sea. And to guard Bonten's snake, Sara Murakami as well. Sarina and Kinana made a quick call to Shinrai who was on another boat at that time. Upon learning that they were alone and that they tied up the traitor, he was quick to change course to help the two ladies on board.

They have gotten back to the island which used to appear like a real paradise on Earth just a few hours ago. Now, it's like a view that came straight out of hell. Sarina was beyond scared to go back earlier. But being back here again, she cannot help but feel guilty for having those thoughts. The two people who protected her is here. A glimpse of them, safe, is all she needs right now to calm down.

"Have you seen Rin-chan and Ran-kun, Kakucho-kun?" The black-haired female asks the black haired Bonten member who is now inspecting the two yachts that just made it back to the island.

"Not yet. But I assure you, they're fine. They'll be here soon." Assured the man before walking towards the pixie-haired who has small injuries.

One by one, the members of Bonten arrived starting with Takeomi who ran towards his wife and son. Kinana welcomed her lover, Mochi who had small injuries. Looking at them this way made her plenty of things. One, she really is in Bonten's world; with bloodbath, fistfight, and death that may come knocking anytime on their door. Watching the brothers fight earlier made her realize how unhesitant these people are in killing people. But even if they are like this, they are also people; capable of caring, protecting, and most of all, loving. Criminals and killers as they are, they are also human beings on the inside.

"How nice. To get welcomed back by someone, too. I wish we have someone like that, don't you agree, Rindou?" Gasping, she quickly turned around...to see the brothers who protected her earlier with minor gashes, wounds, and injuries. Compared to the ceremony, the two are now a bit dirty and messy. But thankfully, they're alive and safe.
