Zombie Loan Payment 4: The Sound of a Butterfly

Chika's old classmate and best friend Reichirou Shiba finds Chika after not seeing him since they left jr. high. The two get along very well and look happy to see each other.

While walking home, Chika, Michiru and Shiba get attacked by zombie rats. Shito isn't around so Chika can't exchange hands with him to form his sword, since the weapon must be formed with his original right hand; he is also concerned about Shiba finding out that he's a zombie. When they are cornered Shiba saved them with a little machine that produces sound that the human ear cannot perceive but it scares away the rats.

Shiba shows suspicion about what Chika and Michiru would have done if he wasn't there. Trying to protect Chika's zombie secret, he and Michiru escape with the excuse that the food they are taking home is getting cold.

Hiding Z-Loan office from Shiba proved useless, he knows more than he initially let on. From the beginning Shito is distrustful but Chika insists that Shiba is on their side.

The Z-Loan team has been investigating a series of murders committed by the "Butterfly" whom they have not been able to identify or track down. Shiba helps decipher the clues easily as if he knows what they are supposed to mean...
