Prologue
Oda is summoned by Mori in order to find Port Mafia's intelligence officer, Ango Sakaguchi as the he have gone missing. Mori proceeds to take out a silver leaf-inlaid Echizen paper and writes a message to the document known as Silver Oracle. Oda then accepts the paper and heads out for his mission.

After receing a room key from the manager who formerly realized whom Oda works for, Oda heads to Ango's suite.

Battle
Oda begins to canvas the room Ango used to lived in. He suddenly finds an odd stool placed at the center of the room. He flips it in hopes of finding clues on Ango's whereabouts but unfortunately didn't find any. After thoroughly scanning the room, he finds a ceiling air vent. He reaches for the ceiling air event using the stool and manages to open it. There he pulls and finds a white safe which is locked, but Oda can't find the key of it anywhere. He tries to know what's inside by rattling it and finds that something metal is inside of it.

Shortly after, a vision plays inside his head in which he was shot by a sniper from the outside, shattering the window. After his vision ended, Oda swiftly threw himself to the carpeted floor with the safe still in his hands and the windows suddenly shatters. Oda moves away from the window and grabs a mirror to fully see the culprit - a sniper.

Oda rushes outside to know the identity of the sniper and contacts Dazai and tells him about someone trying to attack him. Oda gives him the possible locations as to where the sniper fled. Soon after, Oda arrives at a narrow alley. He is then attacked by a man with a knife. Oda engages in battle with the man dressed in tattered gray clothes. Soon after, the sniper appears behind Oda. He is cornered by the two enemies. He tosses the safe aside and aims his two guns to the enemies. Shortly after, Dazai orders Oda to get down. The Port Mafia manages to arrive and kill the two enemies.

Aftermath
Dazai and Oda learn about the enemy's identity, Mimic. Dazai opens the safe and finds a gun similar to Mimic's emblem.
