Plot
Sagamihara Neutralization Operation at Daybreak Arc
After the Third Division recruits completed their first mission in Sagamihara, Kafka Hibino suggested celebrating, leading Haruichi Izumo to organize a party. Haruichi hired Dojima and his team to cater the event, where the chef served an extravagant A6-grade Japanese black wagyu marble-cut course. The others were stunned—unsure such a grade even existed—before Haruichi explained that he had actually requested the cheapest meal, but Dojima had kindly agreed to serve the premium course at a standard price. Later, in a quiet moment, Dojima spoke privately with Haruichi, admitting he hadn’t expected to see him again. Haruichi thanked him for the meal, and when Dojima asked about his father, Haruichi revealed they hadn’t spoken since a certain incident.
