However, their attempts to locate the source of the forgeries have failed due to the interference of a mysterious guard named John Smith.

Demanding an explanation, she attempts to subjugate him to force an answer, however, the Shadow Seven is ultimately defeated and left by her master.

Following the confrontation, Alpha has become heavily depressed while the counterfeit situation continues to worsen, believing that her master had abandoned Shadow Garden. Fortunately, upon receiving a decrypted message previously given by Shadow earlier detailing his motives, she is exuberant that he has not betrayed them and even supplied them the funds to resolve Mitsugoshi's financial crisis. With her faith reaffirmed, Alpha then departs with Shadow Garden to retrieve their master's capital after reuniting with Delta.

Subsequently, Shadow Garden can locate and collect the stash before infiltrating the Great Trade Alliance leader, Gettan's residence, discovering a letter addressed to his former fiance, Yukime, the White Monarch of Outlaw City. Later, Alpha approaches the fox lady, giving her Gettan's letter before revealing Shadow's connection with the Mitsugoshi Company and his plan to establish their strength.
