==Character History==
Ruri began singing as a child and entered pageants and competitions early on. She got into the idol business with a group of around 70 members, called The Sugar Angels, but only Ruri really stood out and became successful. In the beginning, Ruri used to be an S idol and held the top spot for a while, but didn't like it very much and changed her image to her current, friendlier persona. She became the flagship idol of 2020 Productions and earned a reputation around the world. In between albums Ruri gives as many concerts as possible. Once a dead body looking like her was discovered  during one of her concerts in Santa Destroy, but the girl was quickly identified by her family and the matter forgotten.

===Kirishima===
Ruri Kirishima hires the Ninth Officio for additional security during her stay in Mitakihara and the final concert of her world tour. She specifically requests Warmaster Chiaki Matsuda “to have a good time”. Throughout the mission, Ruri keeps fooling around with Chiaki, playing tricks and teasing the magical girl.

Ruri manipulates the lottery for a special fan to accompany her to the concert and the days before during a 24 hour livestream, trying to make sure Chiaki wins. The Warmaster hands the winning ticket to her companion Sayaka, refusing to play along. Ruri is disappointed, but keeps playing her games nonetheless. She claims to love magical girls and wants to learn more about the most notorious one, see how she reacts but still make her have some fun.

She hired the M-idol Noriko as her personal assistant and treats her as a lowly servant, making her play along with her schemes and forcing the girl to stay in a box when she messes up.

Ruri was chosen to play the part of Miracle Midori in the upcoming anime adaption of the popular manga. Iori Minase was chosen for the role of Murder Mayumi, and Ruri uses this opportunity to play around with her, teasing the smaller idol, allegedly to cheer her up after what she has been through recently.

In the evening, a group of Yakuza, led by Mine Yoshitaka , make their way inside the hotel despite the security forces outside. They try to recruit Ruri for the Tojo group, but the idol refuses, as she did before, and angrily demands that they leave immediately. Due to Chiaki's presence and  her threats, they comply and Ruri fights down a panic attack cause by the stressful encounter.

Ruri tries to convince Chiaki to join her in the upcoming events and to perform with her on stage, but the Warmaster stubbornly refuses. The idol does manage to convince Sayaka however.

At night, Ruri tries to convince Chiaki to sleep in her bed, but the magical girl refuses her offer, insisting that her guard duty does not allow her to sleep in the first place.

The next day, Chiaki calls for a final security meeting for the concert. Ruri is happy to be allowed in, usually security forces don't let their client  listen in. She assures to follow Chiaki's and Sayaka's instructions to the letter during the event.

<spoiler show="Full Chapter Summary" hide="Hide Full Summary">Ruri hires the Ninth Officio Assassinorum for protection during her four day stay in Mitakihara, specifically requesting the presence of the Warmaster “to have a good time”. Her schedule includes a big concert and a four day date that can be won through lottery.

Without informing the Warmaster, Ruri rigs the event to ensure the Warmaster wins, instructing an assistant to give her the right ticket in front of her hotel. Additionally, Ruri did not inform her other security detail about hiring a magical girl as an additional guard.

While waiting for Chiaki to arrive, Ruri practices the script of “Miracle Midori x Murder Mayumi Deluxe Uncensored OVA Episode 1 of 20 / SEASON 1” with Iori Minase, which includes a sex scene. Shortly after the climax part, Noriko opens the door and Chiaki enters. Ruri greets her cheerfully and tells her to greet the people watching her webcast, gesturing to the camera Sayaka is holding up.

As Chiaki grumbles and moves out of the shot, sitting down next to her companion, Ruri tells the viewers that she seems to be camera shy but assures that they will see more of her and Sayaka in the coming days and at the concert. She then continues the script into a very heated scene until somebody knocks at the door.

Room service serves breakfast for four, western food and an extra stack of pancakes for Chiaki. Ruri tells Sayaka that while she is curious about the anime the idols are practicing for, the project is still a secret, winking at the camera. She also introduces Chiaki as the best murder Mayumi cosplayer there is, mentioning that she will perform on stage with her and Sayaka.

She asks how Chiaki worked on looking just like the violently lewd magical girl, smiling innocently, who replies that it comes as second nature to her, growling to get the camera out of her face before she shoots it. Noriko shakes at this, but Ruri holds her in place while looking directly into the camera, complimenting Chiaki's dedication to the viewers and announcing a break.

She lets out a sigh and asks Noriko about her performance, who replies that she was very green. She then asks her assistant to take Iori and Sayaka next door so she can speak to the Warmaster in private, adding that she will decide how long her assistant will be put into the box later. Sayaka complains that she is not finished eating, but Ruri coolly asks her again, and Iori manages to make her comply.

While the others move out, Ruri unpacks a large piece of luggage and begins skillfully assembling a huge sniper rifle that has the words Love Story engraved and a green ribbon tied to the scope. She apologizes for the mess, mentioning that Noriko works so slow that she needs to do most unpacking herself and wonders why Chiaki is not eating her pancakes.

Pushing the place aside, Chiaki tells her that she gave the ticket away and that there is no need to punish Noriko for it. Ruri grins, explaining that she did not expect the legendary Murderface to simply bow down and accept being pushed around by a spoiled brat with too much money.

Chiaki asks why she went through with this, wondering if Ruri wants to seduce her, piss her off, or do both, seeing how she is supposedly hired as security detail. The idol looks offended for a bit, but then smiles again, realizing that Chiaki really doesn't know why she was hired. She starts to sing a song, about a girl that simply wanted to be liked by a boy and had no idea she would be fighting monsters until her death and only wants to feel the warmth  of an embrace beforehand.

She explains that she sings about magical girls and wants to know more about the most notorious magical girl there is. She rigged the contest to see how Chiaki would react, get under her skin to see how she ticks. She wants to write a song about her, the magical girl who fights like she has nothing to lose yet walks as if she's got the entire world on her shoulders.

As for the rifle, Ruri explains that she always takes this family heirloom with her and cleans it to calm herself down, showing Chiaki that the magazine is empty. Touching the ribbon, she explains that it is also her good luck charm.

When Chiaki asks about Iori, Ruri assures that while it may look like she wants to get to Chiaki, they chose Iori out of a pool of voice actors for her skill and vocal range matching the idea of Murder Mayumi when their first choice turned them down. As for the “good time” mentioned in the contract, Ruri assures that she just wants to have fun and get to know Chiaki, not ruining her career by getting romantically involved with a magical girl.

Regarding the things she told Iori, Ruri explains that while she looks like a massive bitch for it, she wanted to help them by making Iori tone her almost unhealthy infatuation down the only way she could think of. Caressing the rifle with a sad expression, she tells Chiaki that she doesn't mind  Iori hating her as long as she understands that falling in love with a magical girl is the worst thing an idol can do. Chiaki asks how Ruri knows about magical girls in the first place, and the idol turns away, whispering that she fell in love with one.

She also explains that Iori nearly threw up from the trauma when they were passing this room, so she decided to show her that it was remodeled and is not the same room anymore as a sign of how she should not dwell on past events and that those responsible are gone.

She mentions watching the video of the event that was uploaded by the camera automatically, shivering slightly at the memory of how brutal and chilling it was. Surprised that Chiaki didn't know, Ruri shows her the video on her phone, mentioning that it was deleted quickly after release, but saved by a handful of people who saw the recording in the first few minutes after the upload.

Ruri bought the license to the video and had it blocked everywhere to prevent Iori from accidentally seeing it again. Chiaki admits that she seems to be not so bad, but Ruri cheekily presses against her and claims that the sneaky, scheming idol she is could turn on her any time and Chiaki would be helpless. The Warmaster pushes her off and tells her that she can play around to an extent, but should refrain from tricking her like earlier.

Chiaki then starts surveying the hotel suite and Ruri continues unpacking. While Chiaki checks under the furniture, Ruri asks what became of the magical girl whose knees Chiaki shot off. She replies by explaining that standard procedure has captives locked up and interrogated to either be released or disposed off afterwards.

Ruri mentions that the way Chiaki talks like she doesn't care about these things is scary, but also exciting. Chiaki then explains that the last part of the procedures was taken care of by her boss and that she only knows the girl is alive somewhere and most likely not taking a job like this again. Ruri mentions that this resolution is convenient, but is willing to believe it, mentioning that it would be weird if Chiaki ended up falling in love with that magical girl instead.

Chiaki steps out of the bathroom, finished with her inspection, and holds a pair of panties up, breaking the idol's pace for the first time by mentioning the thriving market for used underwear. Wondering how she could have left it on the sink, Ruri realizes that Noriko was tasked with the laundry and must be responsible, deciding to put her into the box for an entire night.

Chiaki tells her to give Noriko a break, and Ruri mentions that while she tries her best to be nice, sometimes she just has to tease the awkward girl, pointing out that she has the air of a Masochist about her. Ruri explains that the box is just whatever huge box she can find and Noriko has to stay inside for a while without light and that she shakes the box when Noriko falls asleep.

Before they can talk about anything more, the door opens and a group of men enter the room, led by a particularly sharp looking one. He politely greets Ruri and thanks her for choosing Mitakihara as the final stop of her world tour, mentioning how their economy will benefit from it. Ruri reacts furiously to his presence, demanding to know how the men got past security when they were not supposed to be in the same building as her.

The leader explains that he convinced them he was only there for a very short meeting and mentions that Ruri surely knows why he came. Without letting him finish, Ruri snarls that she will not sign his contract to switch into the Tojo group no matter the price since she knows what happens to idols after signing up and shouts at him to get out.

While Ruri takes a transceiver to call security to her suite, Chiaki moves in between her and the Yakuza group and politely asks them to leave, placing a hand on her shield. The leader tells her to back off, but quickly realizes what he is dealing with. He chuckles and asks if a magical girl escort is necessary, to which Ruri replies that it is indeed warranted if these guys can easily get in, telling Chiaki to shoot their kneecaps if anyone makes sudden movements.

The leader assures that this will not be necessary, apologizes that he had to meet Chiaki this way and asks for her name and Officio. She shakes her head and reminds him that his business here is over, stepping forward. The Yakuza step back and their leader compliments Ruri's guard choice, reverently offering a calling card to Chiaki. He explains that the Tojo group respects the work of magical girls and makes to take his leave, reminding Ruri that she can call him whenever she changes her mind.

While the Yakuza leave, Noriko and Sayaka return, the men nearly bumping into them. They shove their way past the girls and Noriko keeps the camera aimed at them. Once they are gone, Ruri grabs a paper bag to breathe into to calm her nerves. Noriko explains that the Yakuza were tailing them ever since they arrived in Japan and Ruri adds that they believe some of their own production firm is working with the Yakuza.

She tells Chiaki that another reason for hiring her is to find out who compromised the security to hand them over to the proper authorities. Chiaki offers to deal with this by getting the entire staff in a room with her for five minutes with those responsible leaving in body bags, but Ruri tells her that this is not how justice works. Chiaki settles for calling the security chief instead and sends Noriko to get him. Meanwhile Ruri fights down the panic attack caused by the sudden appearance of the Yakuza, locking herself in the bathroom.

A while later Chiaki knocks on the door. Ruri has calmed down and styled herself to be just as fresh as before. Chiaki explains that the Yakuza got in with magical girl support, but Ruri claims that she will be fine as long as she has her around.

After a line of questions from Chiaki, Ruri makes to explain them in order. The panic attacks happen occasionally when things like the Yakuza suddenly turn up, a side effect of her stressful job. Regarding the Tojo group, she explains that they are trying to get into more legitimate revenues and created their own production company, attracting idols with lucrative deals. Those idols would be popular fr a while before getting married and disappearing, some of them turning up dead soon after.

The 24 hour webcast is in fact not full 24 hours, but the concert will be broadcast in full. As for how Ruri managed to contract the Warmaster personally, her producer apparently promised Kyubey a cut of the concert profits.

Chiaki assumes that she will not be part of the singing and dancing performance, but Ruri wants her to perform as Murder Mayumi on stage, mentioning that lip synching will take care of covering her rough voice. She then goes through the itinerary for the day and tells Chiaki that she can take her on a date in the evening, who shoots her down right away.

Then Noriko enters, camera held up, and reminds Ruri that they have to be online in two minutes. She pats Noriko's head in thanks and tells her to take better care of her hair, wondering where Sayaka went. While Noriko holds up a mirror for Ruri to check her makeup, she explains that the blue haired girl went to get some air and will be back soon.

Noriko then readies the camera and counts down, when it goes live again Ruri drags Chiaki and the returned Sayaka into the frame, talking about how they are best friends. Chiaki pushes her off and walks out of the camera's view while growling, her natural reaction just like Murder Mayumi, earning squealing praise from the idol.

During the course of the day, Ruri attends events to build up hype for the upcoming concert, one of them being a swimsuit photo shoot at the local community pool. She tries to talk Chiaki and Sayaka into participating, but only the blue haired girl eventually agreed. Impressed with her body and performance, Ruri later drags her off to the changing rooms in Mitakihara stadium, set on including her in the show.

After practice, she sits on a chair with an iced coffee while the other idols line up to bid her farewell. She compliments Sayaka for her endurance and dancing talent, offering to take her in as an idol. Chiaki reminds her that their boss would object, but Ruri thinks him a business oriented sort who would benefit from having Sayaka work with her for a bit.

She hugs Sayaka, has Noriko take photos, and moves to her changing room to take a shower, inviting the Eversor to join with a suggestive sway of her hips. While in the bath, she sends Noriko to fetch Sayaka, mentioning that she should join before the rose petals start to sink.

Ruri takes a long time to take care of her hair after Sayaka already finished. Once done, she joins the blue haired girl and Chiaki back outside the changing room. The idol asks about their conversation, surprising the magical girls with her good hearing that picked up on the topic being her shaved body parts.

Ruri also caught Sayaka staring during their bath, but assures that she knows about her an Kyoko and would never do anything to break the fragile love between magical girls. On the way back to the hotel, she gives them a long explanation on how to achieve perfect smoothness.

Back in her suite, Ruri relaxes on the comfortable bed and tells Chiaki to get changed for the night. The magical girl replies that she is on guard duty and not supposed to sleep, but Ruri claims that Kyosuke and his men are there to keep watch so that she can have fun with Chiaki.

The Warmaster refuse, telling her that not getting in bed with the client is one of the first things Vindicare are taught. Ruri protests, claiming that even magical girls need sleep before figuring out that Chiaki assumed she was asking her to have sex and bursts out laughing.

With a serious tone, void of her usual cheerfulness, she wonders if Chiaki really thought of her as the kind of person who seduces others with wealth and fame simply because she can. She explains that she worded the job request to be taken the wrong way for fun and apologizes for pushing the act too far.

Ruri tells Chiaki about another magical girl she hired previously who, just like her, was overly serious and refused to sleep while on the job. Ruri found her crying over her brother before she eventually had to be replaced and was retired a few weeks after that.

The idol explains that she honestly wants Chiaki to enjoy herself on this job since she never knows when she can take a break again. She tells Chiaki to just take a shower, sleep next to her without any implications, or even just sleep on the couch as long as she gets some rest.

Happy that the magical girl agrees, Ruri hands her a set of purple silk pajamas and changes into a slightly transparent night gown while Chiaki showers. As Chiaki returns, Ruri compliments her look and asks where she will sleep. Chiaki tells her that she will not sleep at all and explains to the disappointed idol that she will do her work properly, reminding her of what happened the last time she fell asleep on the job.

With a cold voice Ruri admits defeat and lets the Ninth Warmaster watch over her helpless sleeping form for the night. Placing a blindfold over her eyes, she reminds Chiaki that she still owes her a date and insists on having it before her mission ends.

The next morning, Ruri wakes up in peak condition, but annoyed by Chiaki's insistence to keep the hotel locked down until the concert. After lunch time, Chiaki calls for a final security meeting and gathers everyone in Ruri's suite. Chiaki will remain at Ruri's side and take down anyone who gets too close. The idol thinks this extreme, but Kyosuke assures that  when somebody gets past his men, they should assume it a threat. Ruri agrees and tells Chiaki and Sayaka to beat down anyone from the Tojo group.

In mid meeting, Chiaki uses her time stop ability, scaring accidentally Noriko. Ruri grasps her arm and inspects the shield in rapt worship, amazed by the design and function of the device Murder Mayumi's “Murder Genocider Cutter” is based on. Chiaki warns her to be careful, agreeing to Ruri's mention of possibly spawning chain saw teeth and cut off her arm to make the idol back off.

While the others conclude the meeting, Ruri gets back to choosing outfits for the concert, where Sayaka joins her soon. Chiaki approaches and Ruri thanks her for letting her in on the meeting, mentioning that Kyosuke never allowed her to be present so that she doesn't need to worry. The idol claims that being informed is better since she will not be confused when something happens and also knows that she is getting the protection she paid for.

Chiaki agrees to her point and promises not to let her get harmed, to which the idol replies with a blush, claiming that her words make her heart beat faster and wondering if this is how Miracle Midori feels. She admits that reading the series is not enough to really get the feeling right and complains about being unable to see the original author, explaining that Green Green is really elusive and neither private investigators nor Kyubey came up with anything. She wants to tell her how important her work is and shouts at Chiaki for calling it just lesbian pornography.

Ruri then tells her that she knows what to do and will just follow her and Sayaka's instructions without asking stupid questions. Before leaving her to her business, Chiaki asks about the singing in one voice thing mentioned earlier, to which Ruri replies that they will all sing the same song and that there will be nothing weird going on like the magical girl seems to be thinking.</spoiler>

===Concert===
On the way to the concert, Ruri's convoy encounters a headless corpse on the road. Sayaka convinces Chiaki to avoid an obvious trap, but the Warmaster leaves some men to guard the area and orders an investigation from the Officio. Ruri is unusually quiet during this event, but assures that she just feels silly wishing for action when they find it in this way.

Inside the stadium, Chiaki informs Ruri that the Yakuza are present, but Ruri simply complains about their stubbornness this time.

After the opening number, a death metal song featuring Mappi and a dressed up Kyosuke, Ruri and Iori perform the Magical Midori opening song. Ruri originally wanted Chiaki to perform with her, but Iori volunteered since the magical girl was expected to refuse in the first place.

During the concert, a group of magical girls place suicide bombers in the stadium and demand that Chiaki faces their leader Lucius in combat in front of everyone to see. While Chiaki fights, Ruri keeps performing to make the battle appear as part of the show.

During a break, a few songs after Chiaki's victory, Ruri tells her how happy she is with the crowd's reaction and asks her about the gauntlets she used. When asked how she can be so calm when she was in danger minutes ago, Ruri explains that idols are almost always in danger with people trying to go after them.

After the concert, Ruri's agency decides to cut her time in Mitakihara short and relocate her to a safer place the next day.

Ruri invites Chiaki to her bed again, but the magical girl is only willing to compromise as far as to sleeping on a comforter next to her bed. They talk about magical girls and romance, and how it does not work in reality.

The next morning, Chiaki, Sayaka and Enishi accompany Ruri to the airport. They say their goodbyes and Enishi hands over a present from her sister Vintage. The super idol finally leaves without any further incident.

<spoiler show="Full Chapter Summary" hide="Hide Full Summary">The group moves to the stadium in a convoy of four cars and two heavily armored APCs. The vehicles are decorated with Ruri decals, a demand from her producer, and the idol has Noriko take photos of her in front of them even though she admits the paintjob to be excessive. Ruri, Sayaka, Chiaki, Noriko and Enishi get into one car for the ride.

On the way, Ruri complains about how boring it is that they prepared all this security and nothing happens. Chiaki explains that it is better to have something and not need  it than the other way around and insists that her reign of No Fun that keeps her out of harm's way will continue until the end of this mission. The idol pouts and complains about Chiaki losing a lot of Ruri points.

Suddenly the car stops in it's tracks, throwing the passengers around. Ruri crashes into Chiaki, and after they disentangle, the driver explains under Sayaka's angry questioning that the convoy spotted a headless body in the middle of the road, appearing out of nowhere right in front of them.

Chiaki decides to go out and investigate, but Sayaka and Enishi try to stop her, considering it an obvious trap. Chiaki tries to go out anyway, but Sayaka insists that something seems wrong and convinces her to stay inside and move on. 

Picking up on Chiaki's plan, Enishi orders some of the security to secure the body and informs Mami of the current event to have somebody take care of the investigation. As the car passes the corpse, they get a glimpse of the costume, which resembles that of Mami, but Enishi assures that she just spoke to the girl in question.

All the while, Ruri remains silent until they are well past the event site. She then asks who Mami is, and Chiaki explains that she is important to her and the entire Officio, including their boss. The Warmaster asks if Ruri is alright or if they should postpone the concert, but the idol assures that she will be fine, claiming that she just feels silly after wishing for action and having it happen like this.

Chiaki mentions that she thought Ruri might find it exciting, but the idol explains that while fighting and dying is somewhat heroic, being murdered and put on display like that girl is a different thing. Chiaki tells her that this is exactly how things go, but Sayaka stops her from scaring the civilians any more. Seeing how Noriko looks like passing out, Chiaki remains silent and pats the assistant's shoulder to calm her down a little.

After a while they arrive at the stadium and Ruri explains that it will be very loud and frantic and that they usually just head straight for the entrance. Sayaka points out that many girls in the crowd wear magical girl costumes, most of them being cosplayers, but that it would be easy for hostiles to hide among them.

Enishi suggests to keep Ruri in between them and move quickly, claiming that assassins would not risk acting out in the open and in front of the media. Ruri agrees to the plan cheerfully while Noriko explains that she will meet them backstage since assistants are not supposed to walk the red carpet.

Outside, a few youngsters crawl under the railings to have Ruri sign their albums, which Chiaki allows under close supervision. They come to her next to get a Murder Mayumi autograph, which the startled Chiaki complies with after Ruri reminds her to play her role. With Sayaka joking around, they head inside.

A few minutes before Ruri's opening act, Chiaki enters Ruri's dressing room to check up on her. Sayaka leads the Warmaster past the other idols that Ruri invited to share her room and makeup with to do away with the concept of rivalry, and announces her presence with a joke about Chiaki coming to see Ruri naked.

Surprised, Ruri tells Sayaka to stop teasing and that Chiaki would not do that, but jokes about giving her a more private show nonetheless while the blue haired girl hobbles off to heal the toe Chiaki stepped on in response to her joke.

The Warmaster tells Ruri that she came to check up on her before the concert starts and informs the idol that Mine Yoshitaka and his goons are inside the stadium. The idol complains about how she should have given the premium tickets for the seats the Yakuza have away herself to block them, how they refuse to understand that she has no intention to work with them and that their claims of going legitimate are only a farce.

Ruri contemplates taking her savings to hire Chiaki to purge Japan of all Yakuza, but the  Warmaster explains that she will have to talk business with Kyubey. Chiaki also tells her that she thought about throwing the Yakuza out, but decided not to do this to avoid trouble, which Ruri appreciates.

When the light starts to flicker and the outside growl loud, Ruri, wearing her Miracle Midori costume,  explains that the concert starts and asks another idol to switch the TV on to see if Mappi misses her song cue. She claims that she will not let Mappi live a past mistake down as long as she keeps bringing up a wardrobe malfunction Ruri had some time ago and pulls Chiaki and Sayaka towards the screen.

The idols squeal in joy while the crowd outside goes wild at the death metal number of Mappi and the dressed up Kyosuke. Ruri compliments his look, stating that it is a shame Mappi forced him to retire in the past. Chiaki wonders about this, but Sayaka tells her to shut up about it in a strained voice.

The idols cheer at the legendary “Eleven Rapes A Second”, a feat even Ruri can't perform. At the end of the performance, Ruri prompts Chiaki to accompany her on stage. The Warmaster declines, stating that she has to take care of the Yakuza, which puts the idol in a teary pout until Noriko reminds her of the backup plan.

Ruri grins and explains that she expected this outcome and made prior arrangements. Wearing a full Murder Mayumi costume, Iori makes her way to the small group and explains that she volunteered when Ruri asked for a replacement. Ruri still complains that Chiaki doesn't seem to like fun, but Iori replies that the magical girl simply is not used to idol work and should be left to do what she does best.

Chiaki wishes Iori  good luck and reminds her to be careful and to listen to Sayaka if anything should happen. She assures that there is no immediate threat but that she will do whatever she can to make sure they are safe in case something happens. Ruri cuts in and asks about herself, and Chiaki simply nods her antics off.

A bell rings as the signal to get ready for the performance, and Ruri gathers her group of idols and extras to head out, Noriko following behind with a camera for the webcast. On stage, Ruri begins to perform the opening theme of the Miracle Midori x Murder Mayumi anime, joined by Iori during the second part; a song about how love can tear things apart as efficiently as hate, a kiss being part of the performance.

During the concert, a foreign magical girl and Chiaki meet on the stadium's baseball field. Ruri is surprised, but composes herself quickly enough to keep the show going. She is tense however, and keeps looking at Chiaki instead of the audience, expecting a fight to break out any moment.

As the fight starts with Lucius assaulting Chiaki with a flurry of blows, who materializes giant iron gauntlets, the entire stadium is focused on the two magical girls. Ruri shouts an order for Chiaki to knock her opponent out and accompanies the ensuing fight with her songs.

During a break in the performance, Ruri hurries to see Chiaki, accompanied by Iori and Noriko. While the shorter idol cries into the magical girl's bloody costume, Ruri is excited about how the crowd went wild during the “staged” fight. After Iori lets go of Chiaki and runs off, Ruri excitedly asks about the gauntlets to fill the awkward silence.

As Sayaka goes after Iori, Ruri assures that she will get over it after a few days since idols are tough and accept that they can't have much of a love life. She still wants to know about the gauntlets, but Chiaki only explains that they are magic and that she would not understand anyway. Being told she could not try them on, Ruri shows her a sad pout, but gives up on it soon.

She asks about how it felt to use them and mentions that Chiaki looked like she had fun, but in a scary way. The magical girl explains that while a small part of her enjoys hurting people, most of it is just a job to her. Ruri wonders if it is really that simple, stating that Chiaki is different from the magical girls she hired before, not obsessed with her own image and rather trying to prove herself, or to not disappoint somebody close to her.

Chiaki wonders how Ruri can be so calm and take the time to analyze her when her life was in danger not long ago. Ruri explains that idols are targets no matter where they go because some one always wants to show how big his balls are by kidnapping, killing or raping some idol. The magical girl wonders why she continues to live this dangerous life when she should have enough money to last several life times, and Ruri tells her while she originally started things for the money, she met somebody who changed that. Before they can continue, Noriko informs Ruri that it is time to go back on stage.

During the final part of the show 2020 Productions decides to cut the mission short, the second concert is canceled due to the danger. The official reason will be sudden illness and a need for Ruri to rest.

Once the concert ends, the group returns to the hotel. Ruri is still excited about the fan's reaction to the show and hopes that Green Green is happy with how the promotion for the anime based on her work is turning out. Chiaki tells her to just get ready for bed while she stays up for guard duty again, but the idol begs her to sleep next to her this one time since they will probably never see each other again after the next day.

Chiaki still refuses, but is willing to compromise at least. She agrees to sleep on the floor next to Ruri's bed, if only to shut her up. The idol grudgingly agrees and bounces into the bathroom to get ready. Once she is done, Ruri tries to pull a futon out of the closet for Chiaki to sleep on, but fails until the magical girl is done washing herself and helps.

Lying in bed, Ruri asks if Chiaki thinks a relationship with a magical girl can actually work. Considering that Murder Mayumi is based on her and all the stories she heard, Chiaki should be able to tell. The magical girl tells her that she should not believe everything she reads, but Ruri still asks her to play along, pretend to be her older sister giving advice.

Chiaki complies, but wants to know who she is talking about. Ruri explains that she knows a magical girl quite different from the others she met. One who just goes and does magical girl things, saving people without asking for anything in return, protecting hopes and dreams. Chiaki replies that things don't work like that in the real world. She also tells her that a relationship with her would not work out, one of them would get hurt and the other had to live with it for the rest of her life.
Ruri is disappointed that Chiaki doesn't share her admiration for this mindset and admits that while she will consider Chiaki's words, her mind will probably not change.

Before going to sleep, Chiaki tosses an envelope on the bed, explaining that Ruri is supposed to fill out a feedback response form. She replies that she will do it the next day and give it back before leaving, then cuts the lights.

The next morning, the group heads to the airport for an early flight. While filling out the feedback from, she complains that she can't spend more time with Chiaki, but makes up for it by teasing her about spending the night together.

Ruri looks over Chiaki's shoulder as she types a message to Iori, asking about her well being. The idol explains that Iori arrived safely at 765 Productions, accompanied by some of Kyosuke's men for added security. She mentions that Iori was crying all the way, but assures that she will get over it and reminds Chiaki not to send the wrong signals again to make it easier.

Chiaki wonders why Ruri even cares about an idol from a rival company, but Ruri pokes her forehead and explains that they are friends. That moment, her phone rings and Ruri walks off to have an animated conversation, blushing all the while.

The call for Ruri's flight comes up and the group moves out onto the tarmac, secured by Kyosuke's men. In front of the plane, Ruri mentions that while Chiaki must have felt frustrated with her, she had a lot of fun during their time together, claiming that she is one out of two people she feels safe around. She extends her hand, mentioning that she is happy to have known Chiaki.

The Warmaster shakes her hand and admits that she was not more frustrated than during any other escort mission, but mentions that she will not take any other idol missions. Ruri giggles that she has another thing that others can be jealous about. Chiaki hesitantly asks her to stay friends with Iori and look out for her when she can't do it herself, to which the idol naturally agrees to.

Her goodbye with Sayaka is more friendly, with a big hug. Ruri thanks her for the time Sayaka spent as her Super Fan during the event and asks her to stay her fan. Before she gets on the plane, Enishi comes running up to her. The Callidus hands her a jewelry box, explaining that it is a personal gift from her sister Vintage. Ruri thanks her and opens the box, revealing a bug shaped hair ornament. The others are disgusted, but Ruri defends it, calling it more of a cute pill bug than an ugly cockroach.

The discussion is cut short when Noriko calls out to her, explaining that they need to go. Ruri says her goodbyes to the magical girls and hands Chiaki the envelope with her feedback form and boards the plane. It lift off safely without an problems.</spoiler>
