Following the defeat of the Guild in Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 10, the Armed Detective Agency is able to certify its newest agent, Kyouka, who is sent on an initiation mission along with Atsushi to recover a missing secret file. This file contains information about Kyouka's skill, and reveals that the demon that has been plaguing her since the death of her parents is in fact a protector of sort, a parting gift from her mother. During this mission they work closely with Montgomery, an ex-Guild member capable of building a safe spot anywhere, who has information to reveal.
Somewhere else in Yokohama, Alcott finds herself looking for guidance. The former skilled planner from the Guild, she's convinced that their leader, Mr. Fitzgerald, survived his fall from Moby Dick. Finding him, she convinces him to return to the fold. Fitzgerald comes up with a plan. He will accumulate 50 billion dollars so he can "purchase" the entire Ministry of the Interior and clear his rivals out of the way so he can find the Book, a powerful item. It's a plain book, with nothing written in it, but as something is written, it becomes reality.
Finally, a mysterious masked assassin targets both the president of the Armed Detective Agency and the leader of the Port Mafia, hoping to trigger a devastating war between them. That assassin is merely a ploy for a sinister new foe, however. Dostoyevsky also seeks the Book, and he will stop at nothing to rewrite skilled users out of reality!
The story continues in Bungo Stray Dogs, Vol. 12.
