Chapter 143, titled Entry, spells out how Uzuki weaponizes his hidden recruits against the Order. Mafuyu and Toramaru are groomed to strike, the self absorbed chairman Asaki roams the museum, and Shin keeps pleading with Mafuyu to stop.
Summary
Uzuki walks through his design, which relies on keeping Order members near Asaki while the fresh recruits Mafuyu and Toramaru move against them. Since the JAA has never flagged these two, they can drift close to the chairman unnoticed. Uzuki puts Gaku in charge of training the pair so that, when they clash with the Order, they will be driven to kill their opponents, an act that triggers the implanted bombs and destroys the recruits along with their targets.
Asaki's self centered streak is on full display as he does whatever suits him without a thought for anyone else. Touring the museum, he offhandedly picks out an artifact to install in his office bathroom, and shortly after even pressures Tate Britain, the institution that loaned the piece, into restoring it, showing no respect for its historical value.
Meanwhile, Shin keeps working to talk Mafuyu out of his mission, though the guards continually get in the way. Osaragi then joins the group, and they all step into an elevator together.
