Plot
Rinslet Walker asks Jenos Hazard if Chronos really want her to do something for them and he confirms that, stating that the order came from Number I. Rinslet states that it is hard to take him seriously when he is suggestively looking at her and that she cannot believe that he is a Chrono Number, since Numbers would not goof around on official bussiness. Jenos offers to show her his tattoo, which causes Rinslet to remember Train. The woman asks about the job and Jenos replies that Chronos wants her help to defeat The Apostles of the stars, which shocks Rinslet. The Number explains that the attack on the summit is an all-out war on Chronos, so defeating the Apostles and assassinating their leader is the organization's highest priority. Rinslet's job is to gather every, single data she can find on the Apostles and in exchange, she will be rewarded with anything she wants. Rinslet however, turns down the offer, stating that while she does enjoy a bit of danger, she does not want to die. She tells the man about her experience with Creed and states that she does not wish to repeat it again. Just as the thief is about to get into her car, the guards surround the two of them. The leader gives her a chance to return what she stole, but she refuses, so he pulls out his gun and prepares to shoot her. Jenos interrupts and the leader mockingly asks if he is going to protect her. Jenos dons his glove, Excelion. The guards laugh at him, but are shocked to see their guns sliced. Jenos fights and defeats all thirty guards. Rinslet asks him why he protected her. The Number replies that he does not like seeing ladies in danger and will protect them. Jeons then offers her a proposal: If she accepts the job, he will act as her bodyguard. Rinslet agrees.
