With curiosity he followed her, but is left behind after the school gates close.

After waiting for hours, Aiko finally comes out and stopped by the park with the Jewel Carriers. He sneaked up behind them. But out of nowhere a Kurayami appeared and aimed at her. Ichiro pushed her out of the way and got attacked. The general, Misery, ordered the Kurayami to grab him, he struggled but turned unconscious.
