Summary

A crowd forms around the first blast, and Number 6 decides the moment has arrived: her show can open. Bee☆Pop obliges. Bomb Bees walk detonations down the block while the Queen Bee seizes phones and televisions across the district, conscripting an audience for what she announces as a remix of the Marukane Department Store, a piece she calls Inferno. She wrecks the street in time with her own music.

Neighbors and acquaintances stare upward, unable to reconcile the figure overhead with the girl they know. Miu and Yu shout for her to stop, and she answers that the ruin feels wonderful before toppling a billboard toward them. Koichi Haimawari reaches Miu a breath ahead of the impact. With her safely clear, he throws himself skyward on Slide and Glide, one hand stretched out for Kazuho.

She calls the gesture clingy and far too late, then answers it with a volley of bees that burst around him and tip him out of the air. Falling, he catches her gaze and sees the blackened tongue that marks a Trigger dose. She tells him she hates him. Number 6, watching from a distance, judges the vigilante finished. Bee☆Pop promises her viewers a surprise for the encore and vanishes inside one final explosion. Koichi lands unconscious on a pile of garbage in a dark alley, where a figure in a trench coat steps out of the shadows and comes toward him.
