Summary
Yutoria's juicy intel turns out to be a treasure map and the Kibou company sets off to find it.

Plot
The juicy intel that Yutoria was talking about was a treasure map that she received from a girl named Marika. That said girl enters the office and is formally introduced to everyone. Ultimately it's decided that Minato will help Yutoria and Marika look for the treasure. To start things off, the group head to the Rurud Forest and search for the first clue given to them on the map. When Minato asks where Marika received the map, she details that she got it from her grandfather's cellar. As it turns out, her grandfather passed away a year prior. Continuing forth, the group runs into Thomas who knows where the location of the first clue is, but Marika is hesitant to accept his help. Still, Thomas leads the group to their destination.

At the location of where the clue points to, Minato starts digging, until he uncovers a small metal box with a note inside. What's written on the note leads to a haunted mansion where they're to find a picture someplace there. As it so turns out, Thomas knows of such a place that's located nearby their current location and guides them. Reaching the mansion, Thomas and Mariko have a moment with each other where Thomas deduces that Mariko has no friends.

Inside the dark and dusty mansion, Mariko leads the way and details her relationship and her admiration of her grandfather to the group. Once they reach a locked door with no way to get through it, Thomas finds a hole beside it and crawls through it to open the door on the other side. Continuing forward, they reach a room with a picture in it just like the note said. However, once they approach it, three maju appear and Marika handily defeats them. Looking at the back of the painting, it turns out that the treasure was a note from Marika's grandfather. In the note, he writes his worry for Marika not being able to make any friends so he devised a treasure hunt to help her make some. Hearing this, Marika denounces her grandfather's last will, but still respects him.
