- Main article: Ichihanaran Festival Arc
Aiho first contacts Hakutou, along with Sumomo and Kurumi, after becoming suspicious of the strange information blackout regarding the attack on the Windowless Building, as well as the movements of the not-too-subtle Fräulein Kreutune. Here, Hakutou expresses surprise regarding Aiho's comments if they were able to notice that there was no information at all and their search being interfered on.[1]
Here, it is shown that Hakutou as well as Sumomo were tasked to search information regarding their prey, but is being interfered by someone. Aiho later plans on taking Kurumi, and tells both Hakutou and Sumomo to go back to the station to secure paper reports if possible, if not, then retrieve the temporary cache from the copier.[1]
It is assumed that she acquiesces to Aiho's order.[1]
