In the sixth episode of "Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! Season 2," the members of Shadow Garden are confronted with the aftermath of their encounter with a formidable opponent named John Smith. It turns out that John Smith's abilities are so extraordinary that they cause turmoil within the ranks of Shadow Garden, leading to the decision to send Delta after him.
Delta, who initially doesn't know that John Smith is actually the protagonist Cid, sets out to eliminate the new threat. However, Cid, disguised as John Smith, skillfully distracts Delta and sends her on a fabricated mission to the lawless city to target a fictional enemy, thus maintaining his cover.
Meanwhile, the episode deals with the far-reaching consequences of the counterfeit money crisis he orchestrated. The influx of fake banknotes into the economy threatens to destabilize the financial system, prompting urgent discussions between the kingdom's major corporations and the Cult, a powerful faction with a vested interest in the matter.
The climax of the episode is Alpha's confrontation with Cid as John Smith, leading to an emotional moment where Alpha, having seen through his disguise, expresses her desire to support and understand him despite the confusion and secrecy surrounding his actions. Ultimately, however, he is left alone after winning the battle.
As the market situation escalates, the Cult takes drastic measures to curb the influx of counterfeit money, while the major corporate alliance enforces strict controls, leading to tensions with the royal family and disrupting the market.
Amidst this turmoil, the episode also touches on personal stories of loss and ambition. A flashback reveals Yukime's tragic past, as she seizes power in the lawless city after betrayal and destruction to exact revenge on Gettan.
Back in the present, the counterfeit money scheme reaches its climax as the masterminds (Smith and Yukime) prepare to exchange the fake money for gold, aiming to topple the corporate alliance and profit from the ensuing chaos.
