History
Mikoto was introduced to Shouhei Akagi, whom he recognized as the "brat" who wanted to join Homura. He extends his arm to the young man, but before he can shake it, Mikoto reveals his fiery Aura. Noticing Shouhei's sudden hesitation, he states that they will have to shake hands in order for him to join. Shouhei finds the will to do so and his insignia appears on his arm. Mikoto welcomes him to Homura.

Several days later, Mikoto is informed of Shouhei's plan to rescue a childhood friend by Anna. Bearing the thought in mind, he gathers the rest of Homura to the warehouse in which they are in, preparing to fight the Rakshasa drug dealers inside. He states to a surprised yet also grievously injured Shouhei that he was out for a walk. Mikoto then adds that overusing one's power does not benefit the person in the end. One of the Rakshasa men fires bullets at Mikoto but he easily destroys them with his Aura. He then says not to leave behind any ashes.

Late in February, Mikoto went out to play baseball with the others of Homura. He went up to bat and managed to swung a home run.

While out, Chitose went to bat, and ended up swinging the ball toward a woman, who was coincidentally looking for him. When he had fled the area because of her, Mikoto went to give him a call, asking if he needed him to save Chitose. He was declined, however, leaving Mikoto solemn. Chitose's problem was eventually resolved by the end of the day. Mikoto would go out to have a smoke, thinking to himself about how power caused him loneliness. He was approached by Totsuka and denied sharing any thoughts.

Almost two months later, when Kousuke brought a person, named Eric Surt, to headquarters from the rain, Mikoto walked down the stairs to meet him, but ended up startling the young man. After some time in the Clan's headquarters, Eric walked to Mikoto's room while he was sleeping, reaching out for his neck. Mikoto was abruptly woken and he attacked in self-defense, burning part of the building. As Eric fled, Mikoto warned Totsuka to be aware of the non-member's murderous intent. Izumo was later brought to see Mikoto's damages to the building. Mikoto explained himself that he was in a daze and quietly apologized for his actions.

Plot
Mikoto guides the rest of Homura across Shizume City to confront an infamous gang residing in one of the hotel suites. The group splits up after a certain amount of time, leaving Mikoto with Anna. Once the others have completed the operation, Mikoto and Anna head to the hotel suite; there, Izumo comments on how early the former is. Once the whole group learns that their main target does not know the person they're after, Mikoto and the others leave.

They head towards the lobby, stopped only on the second floor, having been confronted by SCEPTER4. Mikoto says to "burn them" before dropping down to the lobby, soon accompanied by the others. He initiates in a battle against the opposing group while the Sword of Damocles hovers above them. However, a fight does not ensure. Rather, Mikoto is asked to turn himself in peacefully, which he obliges.

Not long after, there is an incident where the city's network has been hijacked, which SCEPTER4 leader Reisi Munakata accuses him of being responsible for.

Munakata comes to visit Mikoto again, and finds him sleeping. He wakes him up by slamming his head into the wall, with no visable effect. Munakata informs Mikoto that his Weismann level is reaching it's limit and that if the Sword of Damocles was to fall, there would be a repeat of the Kagutsu crater. He goes on to say that if he relies anymore on the Dresden Slates, he will have to kill him. Mikoto, however, says he doesn't know what he is talking about and Munakata tells him to renounce his throne. Mikoto tells him that he's just a stick in the mud and Munakata states that he will have to find a way to lock him up for life. Smiling, Mikoto tells him that there is one way to lock him up forever: by keeping an eye on him personally, 24 hours a day. However, Munakata tells him that breathing the same air as him makes him ill and he states that he is busy, so he won't be able to spend all his time with him. Mikoto tells Munakata that he's sorry he feels that way, before going back to sleep, he was unable to hear Munakata say that he was sorry too.
