Takaie and Himokura are officially recruited as advisers to the Cabinet Secretariat. For their first case, SMRO is asking them to look into an athlete to ensure he’s not doping, before they reward him with a national award. After visiting his house and observing him, Himokura is sure that this athlete, Shun Nogiri, is doping but he is not sure how. Himokura, Takaie, and Makino is also under severe pressure to stop investigating Nogiri after initial reports came back clean.
