 Lilth puts everybody to sleep |
In the dining room, Plue and Haru are eating, as Elie arrives. Billy and Lilith plan to take him, but Lilith states that since Plue has an owner, Ruby won't accept it as his magic bell has the power to confirm stolen items. With that said, they plan to kill the owner(s) as Lilith subsequently uses Wind Festival with sleeping pollen. Everybody in the room is put to sleep, even Elie, Plue and Haru.
Ruby happiness when he sees Plue
They take Elie and Haru to a room, ready to kill them. Billy also states that the only reason why Doryu wasn't able to be the leader of the darkness is that he does not have money power, like Demon Card once had. Wolf appears to kill Haru and Elie with his loaded machine gun arm until Ruby walks into the room. Lilith orders Wolf to stop and shows Plue to Ruby. Ruby is left speechless as he sees Plue and offers to give them ten times the normal today, leaving the others dumbfounded about how rich he is. Ruby invites them out to eat to which they accept. They leave Elie and Haru inside the room, while Griff, Musica and Let look for them.

Seconds after the Jiggly Butt Gang finishes introducing themselves. Lilith appears in front of them ordering them to go away.

The gun's bullets make the cage Plue was kept in, break apart, Musica and Let go after it. However, Billy punches them into the wall.
