Summary
A man known as Justin reassures an old woman known as Mrs. Haliburton that he'll take care of Vash the Stampede.

Meanwhile at an undisclosed town, Milly babysits a young girl who's engrossed in her painting. It is then a young boy ambushes Vash into submission. Milly witnesses the scene as it plays out and is then approached by Meryl. She asks where Vash is and Milly informs Meryl that Vash just entered the town church. Meryl notes Vash's aloof nature as of late and as Vash sits on a church bench to pray he's confronted by a member of Justin's bounty hunting group.

Escorted outside of the church, where Justin audaciously introduces himself. Shocked by this, Meryl proclaims that the $$60 billion bounty on Vash's head has been redacted by the government. It's then revealed by Justin that a $$20 million bounty has been placed on his head by an old lady named Mrs. Haliburton. Her vendetta against him is because she lost her family in the July Incident. Elsewhere, Wolfwood tries to enjoy his noodles at a restaurant, but reluctantly goes to help Vash in his predicament.

Just as Wolfwood arrives at the scene, an emergency announcement is made about a mass murder occurring in a town called Nouve. Uncovering his cross gun, Wolfwood proclaims they have to leave immediately. Both Wolfwood and Vash try and take out Justin and his gang. In the midst of the battle, Vash catches a bullet shot by Justin, by sprouting a sapling from his arm. This perturbs the residents of the town who call Vash a devil and start to throw rocks at him while demanding that he leaves. Vash does this, leaving both Meryl and Milly behind as they huddle together.
