The tea lounge turned noisy.
why is Torii house’s bodyguard?
Oh, Shimada doesn’t know that Haiji’s my woman.
He never expected Haiji to attack him from my command.
Haiji shut him up
Yessir!
Haiji kicks Shimada in succession.
After the second hit, Shimada’s already guarding with his arms.
do you even know what will happen if you do this to me?
Hai! Hai! Hai! Hai!
Shimada’s going defensive from Haiji’s successive kicks.
hey, do something!
Shimada shouts not at us but to someone in the tea lounge.
I knew it, he has friends with him.
Then.
Okay, that’s enough.
Ten people jumped in the tea lounge at the same time.
Yes, everyone please calm down, we’re sorry for the fuss!
A short woman wearing a trench coat and a flat cap show a police badge as she walks in front and showed it to everyone.
Haiji, you can stop now
Ha!
The woman that stopped me is Neko-san.
She’s Kudou-papa’s friend, a freelancer.
who are you?
Shimada shouts at Neko-san.
Who cares about me? We already caught your friends and even your boss. It’s a wholesale arrest to everyone in the building!
Neko-san said.
you? Are you from the Kouzuki SS? No, that can’t be! Kouzuki SS is.
Today, the young ladies from the party last week will be coming to watch Edie and Yamada Umeko Sebastianusan’s match at the old training building.
They should have the defenses there.
I already told you that’s what it is. Okay, we’re arresting this man, he’s a member of a group of international fraudsters. We’ll be taking him away
Wait a second! Hey?
As if I would wait. Tie him up!
Neko-san told her subordinates and they tied up Shimada.
Oh, they even put a ball gag on his mouth.
That would be the harsh treatment if they’re the police, but.
Since it’s a sudden impact, they don’t know what’s going on.
With that said, uhm, that guy over there. Yes, you
Neko-san points at Misawa
me?
Yes, have you seen what happened over here? If you did, then we’ll have to take you to the station as an eye-witness, do you want to?
no, i haven’t seen anything. No, that guy’s just been kicked off before I knew what was going on? I didn’t witness anything, isn’t that right, Matsuzawa-kun?
Three, a modest heart
Matsuzawa’s still not free from his five precepts from the prison curse. He still has 2 hours and 55 minutes left.
I see. If that’s the case, you didn’t see anything, and maybe, were you not here at this time?
Neko-san said.
yes! It would help if you see it that way
Fourth, a mind of servitude!
Then, I’ll leave it at that
I’m grateful! Thank you
Fifth. A grateful attitude!
Meaning. Misawa and Matsuzawa didn’t meet us here.
You lot, come with us! I’ll hear the full story at the station!
And so, we left the tea lounge safely.
Uhm, what about the payment?
I asked Neko-san.
It’s already paid for. Seki-san will pay for the expenses charged at you
So Shou-neechan’s paying them later.
Kudou-chan’s waiting for you below, ride his vehicle, and go back home. We’re going to interrogate every people we caught and catch the people they’re working with
Is that so?
Kudou-papa’s our driver, that means.
Kudou-papa’s allies will be moving together with him.
I don’t know who’s listening to us right now so you can ask Kudou-chan the details in the car
Thank you, Neko-san
No need, I’m earning money from this
Neko-san sent her two subordinates until we reached the parking lot.
Going back to the minivan.
Oh, that seems to be quite a lot of trouble
Kudou-papa welcomes us with a smile.
Sorry about that. Someone’s been watching me remain in the car and so I suppressed them while at it
Then that means, Kudou-papa took down the enemy that’s monitoring him.
Anyway, get in. We’re going back
Okay. Get in everyone
Going with the same order, Haiji goes to the driver’s seat.
Yomi and Ai are on the second row.
Then, Kana-senpai, Mariko, and I are on the backrow.
Okay, let’s depart.
We bow our heads to Neko-san’s subordinates who escorted us.
The car departs.
When did you found out?
I asked as the vehicle leaves the hotel.
It’s not like I knew, it’s been planned to lure them in today
Kudou-papa said.
Kouzuki SS is in a different place and Michi, nor your bodyguard, Edie, isn’t with you. Then, you brought these girls with you to relax outside
I went out with Yomi without bodyguards from the Kouzuki SS.
But, it’s only the last minute when I decided to bring Yomi with us
Right, I.
I didn’t really pick her until the last moment.
Hey now. Why do you think that girl was in that room?
Huh?
Speaking of which, when I went home from school and entered the room in front of the courtyard.
Yomi’s the only girl with Miko power in there.
Tsukiko, Luna, Koyomi-chan, they weren’t in the room.
Even if you didn’t pick her, someone’s going to recommend you to bring her
It came to my mind that I should bring someone with Miko power apart from Haiji, our bodyguard.
That’s why I picked Yomi.
And so, we displayed the lineup to the enemies while we’re going around. And then, I showed that I, the driver, don’t come with you. What’s left is to guide the enemy to a place that’s easy to attack them
Kudou-papa said.
It was really hard to adapt when a certain someone suddenly said that we’re going to a foreign company hotel so suddenly
i’m sorry
Mariko apologized.
No need. We’re accustomed to dealing with sudden changes. That hotel isn’t an unknown location for us either. We never expected for the enemy to use the Diet member in that place, but.
Oh, they know everyone in the tea lounge
So, who are those people?
I asked.
Before that, how did you guys discover that he’s a fake?
Kudou-papa asks back.
Oh, right. Ai said that he’s different
Kana-senpai looked at Ai.
Yes, that. How did you know?
Mariko asked Ai.
Then.
You see.they were in opposition
Ai speaks slowly.
What’s with that? We won’t get it if you just say it like that?
What about the opposition?
Kana-senpai and Mariko asks Ai at the same time.
I’ll explain it
I feel like my conclusion and Ai’s impression are the same.
Remember that Shimada guy? He’s making us think that he’s working for the country, or for an international organization
He keeps on talking about big things like national interest, international peace, and such.
They’re making it sound a story that they’re a proper organization and so we should hand over Yomi to them
Oh, I get that
Yes. I thought that he’s one of the government people too
The two said.
Why did you think that way then? He reeks of suspicion
I smiled. The two listened.
Well, that’s because he’s able to shut up a member of the diet with a business card.
Yes, that. He showed his business card to the politician so I thought that he must have some status or something
He used it on Matsuzawa and so it made us believe that it’s his setting.
But, remember how he used his business card? He used different cards to the Diet member and to us
That’s.I assumed that he would be in a bad place if we were to discover his affiliation?
Yes, I thought that it has to be some information he can’t tell us
Kana-senpai and Mariko said.
That’s Shimada’s scheme. He’s not a man from the government nor an international organization
I said.
So, how did Nobu and Ai figure it out?
Yes, how did Kou figure it out?
That’s.
Well, wasn’t the Diet member from the opposition party?
