Hayama immediately points the time when Kyouko-san left the mansion.
Who knows, I don’t
Shou-neechan feigns ignorance.
Hmm, I can’t believe what you say at all
Hayama tells Shou-neechan
If Kouzuki house and Kyouko Messer broke up, why is that foreign girl here? Isn’t that girl an agent Kyouko Messer brought from outside?
Hayama thinks that Edie is Kyouko-san’s subordinate.
No, that might be a bluff.
Oh her, Kakka bought this girl from Kyouko Messer. It’s natural that she’s left to us as soon as the deal is established
Shou-neechan says and looks at Edie.
Bought?
Hayama glares at Edie.
Edie’s nonchalant.
Yes. There are not that many talented bodyguards of this age that can take the job of young master’s bodyguard. So, Kyouko Messer brought one from the US
Shou-neechan said. Edie says something while grinning.
Shou-neechan replied in English.
Edie replied laughing.
What did they say?
I ask Mana.
Edie-chan asked Is there a problem. Should I beat him up? Then Seki-san said It’s unnecessary. He’s not someone you need to dirty your hands on
Edie looks at Hayama and laughed.
I’m surprised. Indeed, this foreigner looks strong Yes, we told Kyouko Messer We’d like you to search for a strong child, we don’t mind teaching her discipline her
Shou-neechan said.
Yeah, it’s essential to teach discipline I’d like you to tell her to set a high value on old people like me Oh, I’ll tell her not to let down her guard with the police I see
Hayama’s snake eyes look at me again.
Then, this boy is indeed a keyman. Kouzuki Kakka bought a bodyguard from Kyouko Messer just to protect him. Just what are you for real?
I.
Well, I don’t need you to talk in the spot. I’ll have you come to our HQ kindly
Hayama tries to grab my arm.
Rei-chan grabbed Hayama’s hand before Edie could move.
Are you interfering a public servant in his duties? What about you? You’ll die in the line of duty
Rei-chan holds her cane.
Hmm, threatening a police officer isn’t that smart you know
Hayama said, but
You’re the police that protects the security of this country, right? Are you really okay setting sparks in the relationship of Kouzuki house and the Japanese government?
Rei-chan braced herself too.
The security police is a member of the police organization in the first place. I’m still a policeman
Hayama smiles.
He raised his hand, and police officers in a black suit come off from their vehicles.
The mess done in the hotel lately was because of Kyouko Messer and Cesario Viola. Mr. Kouzuki Shigeaki’s death is undetermined. We cannot overlook a firefight in Tokyo
That’s right, we broke a lot of laws.
You underestimate the police. Don’t fuck with us!
Hayama threatens us.
The people from Kouzuki security service also tries to get off their car, but
14th squad, return to your cars! Don’t get involved!
Shou-neechan orders them.
The observers from Kouzuki security service don’t know what to do. They’re stuck.
Hayama.
Are you sure? If this man committed a violation of the law or did some criminal act, then we have to arrest the criminal and check the facts as to what happened! Just because someone is connected to a renowned house or has a powerful connection, we will not overlook him. That is the job of the police He laughs. In short, I don’t have the intention to be tied up by the higher-ups, the government, well, it’s basically the politicians or even Kouzuki house!
Hayama said, Shou-neechan.
You’ll just get fired
Hayama stays calm.
I don’t mind. I’m retiring at the end of the month anyway, if I can show a dirty connection between the state and one noble house, then I’ll be satisfied. I’m now acting based on my conscience as a policeman, based on my justice. In other words, we will enforce Justice Is that his purpose? Now then, Yoshida-kun, would you accompany me? Even if you take him, we’ll get him back right away. We’ll appeal for an unfair arrest
Shou-neechan.
Please do what you want. Hurry up and talk to a lawyer. In the first place, we can talk to him about all things during that time. Oh, what? If our experts make a serious effort, then it’ll take only a few minutes to get something from a high school boy!
Is he going to torture me?
Onii-chan!
Mana clings to me.
Oh right. While at it, we’ll be taking this girl in custody
The snake looks at Mana.
The reason for arresting Yoshida-kun will be a suspicion of kidnapping. In that case, we can surely detain him!
Hayama laughs.
Does he intend to detain me as Mana’s kidnapper?
We’ll leak this arrest to the media. We’ll make sure to have Kouzuki house’s power turn hazy
The police officers approached us.
Dammit.
If my name’s revealed to the media as Mana’s kidnapper, then I’d be socially murdered.
Oh right, this mansion has more famous people inside
This guy.
Is he talking about Yukino?
Hey wait! Hayama-san! This is going too far! What going too far? I’ll never forgive the domineering attitude of the nobles! I have justice in me!
The police approach us.
I.
Oh, I should’ve brought my beat-up stick.
Haa.
It can’t be helped.
It’ll hurt if I do it bare-handed though.
Ah
Perfect, there’s a brick on the side of the road.
Wait a second, Hayama-san
I said, crouched, and picked up the brick.
Yes, that’s just heavy enough
I hold on the brick and toss it up catch it.
what are you doing?
Hayama doesn’t understand the meaning of my behavior.
No, I just thought of hitting you with this!
I said looking up at Hayama.
What are you talking about?
I stand up while holding the brick.
No, look, you only have violence to fight violence, right?
I said. Not only Hayama. Shou-neechan, Rei-chan, and Mana froze.
Violence? I’m a police officer you know!
Hayama shouts; the police officers stop walking.
Yeah, I know. Your violence is named police, right?
I replied.
Violence named justice, Violence named the state, violence named the law, it’s all violence. So, I’ll fight it with violence too Are you sane?
Hayama’s stunned.
No, I believe that there’s just in the righteous. But, to follow righteousness, in the end, violence is used to lead the people to it. It’s violence that dominates the world
That’s what I learned in the past few days.
Shirasaka Sousuke violently kidnapped Minaho-neesan and others, turned them to prostitutes.
The law or justice did not help Minaho-neesan.
Therefore, Minaho-neesan used violence to fulfill her revenge.
Margo-san and Kyouko-san are physical violence.
Leaking information on the internet and guiding opinion is also violence.
Borrowing the power of a powerful man like Jii-chan is also violence.
Cesario Viola had to be controlled by violence.
If he didn’t die, Nei’s peace of mind would never come.
You brought your violence named police so we’ll have to stop you using violence too
I declare.
Wait a second!
Shou-neechan tries to stop me in panic, but.
Shut up and follow me
I tell Shou-neesan calmly.
Mana, get on Rei-chan’s back. Rei-chan, take care of her O-Okay
Rei-chan’s puzzled, but she grips her cane tighter.
Edie!
I talk to the tanned fighter.
!
Edie smiles at me.
No killing. ドントキル OK．darling
