The Gung-Ho Guns then proceed to have a roll-call. The saxophone player from the bar introduces each member before introducing himself as [[Midvalley the Hornfreak (anime)|Midvalley the Hornfreak]]. Legato notes that someone named [[Chapel the Evergreen|Chapel]] is missing, causing Midvalley to remark that this Chapel seems to be as unreliable as the rumors say. Midvalley then says that there's an awful lot of talent assembled at that location for just one target, but he is reassured that it won't all be wasted. Legato insists he's got more respect for them all than that, and asks someone named [[Dominique the Cyclops|Dominique]] if she agrees - she suddenly appears beside him and tells him she'll handle everything and that he doesn't need to worry. | The Gung-Ho Guns then proceed to have a roll-call.

Back in town, Vash is banging on doors and hoping to get the attention of anyone he can to find out more about what happened at the bar. He happens to see somebody peeking out of a nearby house and runs to catch them at the door. He asks if the man responsible for the bar massacre wore a white jacket, but only gets the door slammed on his finger in response. Meryl admonishes Vash while he nurses his wounded finger and tries to figure out where to find his adversary. Just then, there is a glint of light that catches his eye and draws his attention to the town's giant windmill - miraculously, he is able to see Legato standing up there leering down at him.

Just then, there is a glint of light that catches his eye and draws his attention to the town's giant windmill - miraculously, he is able to see Legato standing up there leering down at him. Angered, Vash jumps up and runs off to go confront him while leaving Meryl and Milly baffled at his sudden change in behavior (they don't have Vash's eyesight, apparently). Milly offers to shoot him with her stungun, but Meryl tells her no. | ||
Vash gets to the top of the rock pillar to find a pile of corpses and Dominique the Cyclops. He angrily demands to know if she was the one responsible for killing them, and she is more than willing to take the credit. He tells her that no one is allowed to take the life of another, and then they fight.

He angrily demands to know if she was the one responsible for killing them, and she is more than willing to take the credit. He tells her that no one is allowed to take the life of another, and then they fight. Dominique is seemingly able to teleport around the field, giving her an edge over Vash and almost besting him. She brags about her battle prowess as she fights with him. Vash wonders how he'll outsmart her teleportation when a thought occurrs to him - perhaps if he focuses on something other than her, her gimmick won't work. He decides to focus on his injured finger, and it pays off - Dominique tries to deploy the Demon's Eye, but to her surprise Vash is able to best her because it no longer affects him. He shoots the cover off her eyepatch, revealing the Eye and ruining her whole gimmick. | ||
Just then, Meryl and Milly finally make it to the top of the rock pillar and re-connect with Vash. Upon seeing Dominique looking shocked and disheveled, Meryl hauls off and decks Vash while Milly asks if Dominique is okay. Vash defends himself by asking if the insurance girls saw anything that just happened. Dominique flees from the windmill and down some backstreets, wondering how she could've lost to Vash before running into Midvalley... | Just then, Meryl and Milly finally make it to the top of the rock pillar and re-connect with Vash.

Before Vash can speak, however, a sax riff catches his attention - he looks over to see Legato and Midvalley perched on the pillar of rock next door. Legato smiles tauntingly at Vash before a cloud of dust spirits he and Midvalley away. Vash then proceeds to tell the insurance girls in no uncertain terms that they need to stop following him ''now'', since events have gotten too dangerous. Meryl tries to object, but Vash shuts her down. The episode ends with Vash vowing to turn the tables and hunt Legato down, whatever it takes. | ||

* This episode has a bit of a pun-thing going on: in the early parts of the episode characters draw attention to Legato by calling him a "lady killer", while in the latter half of the episode an actual "lady killer" - or female assassin - is introduced as one of his underlings. | |||
