Lawyer 	Mr. Amaguni, sir, will the said case have to wait until the trial?
 	Trial? There won’t be one. Before the case is implicated in a trial, I settled it outside of court. Say, do you know the definite way of not losing?
Lawyer 	Definite way of not losing? …Is there such a thing?
 	That is, to not carry out the trial. If it’s not taken to a trial, there’s no way we’ll be losing.
Lawyer 	I... I see.
 	There’s two things I can’t tolerate with. One, bad coffee, and two, losing. Therefore, I always have top-grade coffee machine and beans in my office. Because of that, I have the title of the undefeatable lawyer to my name.
Lawyer 	…By the way, how do you deal with cases with little chances of winning?
 	If there’s no chance at all, then I’ll just have to make one out.
Lawyer 	What if you can’t even make one?
 	That is simple. As long as I don’t accept the request, then I won’t lose. Grossed out?
Lawyer 	No…
 	There are two things I like. First, Islay whiskey. Second, money. Listen here, money is way more reliable than God. That is unmistakable. If something turns out to be inevitable, without the money, we pray to god. However, in the presence of money before prayer, we can change the situation by squandering the money. In order to accumulate that precious godly money, there’s no way I’ll be defeated.
Lawyer 	I-I see.
 	My name is Jyushi Aimono. As his sworn ally, as well as his friend, I demand you to summon Hitoya Amaguni!
Receptionist	Sir, can you please keep your voice down, you’re troubling the other customers!
 	Haha, I see. To think that a retainer from the Centrals has managed to sneak in here.
Receptionist	C-Centrals?
 	That is fine. Act all you want but it won’t work on me. You must be a Centrals' agent, hindering the rendezvous of Hitoya and I! I shall not be daunted by such a scheme. Now, hasten and bring forward Hitoya!
Lawyer 	S-Someone seems to be asking for you, Mr. Amaguni…
 	…That goddamn kid. I already told that idiot to not come here anymore.
 	
 	So you’ll go to that extend to hinder me. Hmph. This must likely be your raison d'êtrePurpose of existence.
Receptionist	Ah, I’ll have to ask you to leave…
 	Ouch!
 	Jyushi, how many times do I have to tell you to not come here?
 	Ah! Hitoya-san, please, listen…
Receptionist	Um…
 	This idiot, he’s just speaking weirdly in front of those he just met so don’t mind him. He seems to think that it’s cool. Well, I’ve no idea he thinks so, though.
Receptionist	S-Sure.
 	Jyushi, listen here. There are two things that I can’t bear to stand. First, fruits in a salad. Second, those who don’t listen.
 	Actually, today, you see—
 	Tch… We’ll bother the others here, so come to my office.
 	Got it!
 	What a commotion, right, honey?
Receptionist	I’m sorry, sir! We’ve made you wait! How may I help you today?
 	Hmm. Everything goes as planned, so it’s okay, I guess!
Receptionist	Ah?
 	Well then, sweetie. Let’s have a date if we meet somewhere else! (To think that there’s such a pesky person like that. Anyhow, it’s going well.)
 	
 	Ah, so weary… It’s so outmoded, cleanin' the place up with a rag in this day and age. Cleanin' would be so much easier if done with modern gadgets. OUCH!! THAT HURTS! THE HELL YOU’RE DOING!?
 	That is my line, boy! The moment I took my eyes off you and you slack off right away!
 	Ow!
 	How many times have I told you, no chewing gums in the temple!
 	You can just say so, dammit! How many times are you gonna hit me?
 	Punishment is necessary to fools who do not comprehend even after something is said.
 	Punishment, my ass. What are you gonna do if I get even stupid more than now?
 	Ah, you don’t have to worry. You’re already in the zone of stupidity, so there’s no way you’ll get even stupider.
 	…Damn you, old man! Someday I’m gonna talk you down...!
 	Now, get back to your cleaning duty!
 	About this labor cleaning, can’t you consider having the cleanin' done more efficiently? There are even home appliances that can clean automatically nowadays, y'know.
 	Labor cleaning is also part of the ascetic practices. Now quit stalling and get back to work.
 	I~ got~ it!
 	What on earth are you thinking, throwing a rag at your father?
 	“It’s suffering being together with someone you despise, but with blood relation however, destroy it!”, that is!
 	Fool! Hold it right there, boy!
 	Like I’m a weak ass to stop when bein' told to stop runnin'!
 	
 	Crap. There’s no way I can stand getting nagged like this every single day.
Courier 	Excuse me!
 	Ah?
Courier 	It’s the delivery service, is Kuko Harai here?
 	You're talking to him.
Courier 	Ah. Then please sign over here~
 	Done.
Courier 	Thanks. This is your parcel. Well then, please excuse me~
 	Where the hell is this from? No one told me about any parcels... From Chuohku?! "Due to our impartial judgment, we will be allowing Kuko Harai to participate in the next Division Rap Battle. In line with this, we have sent you Hypnosis Microphones. Please, decide your team members by the appointed date, and contact Chuohku's Administrative Inspection Bureau’s Division Battle management. Best regards." Best regards, my ass. Like hell they're taking "no" as an answer. Well, I'll get to kick someone's ass so I'm good with that. Shit, I don’t even have anyone to team up with.
 	Kuko! Where did you go to?!
 	Oops. Gotta go.
 	
 	Damn you, I’m busy.
 	Uwaaaaahhhh… Hitoya-san!
 	Quiet. Stop crying every single time! So? For what lame story that you’re here causing trouble at my office?
 	It’s not lame! Please, hear me out! This tale that will move anyone to tears!
 	Stop groveling and spill it already.
 	Y-Yesterday, I had a live show.
 	The one with weird getup and makeup?
 	It’s not weird! It’s Visual kei.
 	So? What’s with the live show?
 	Before the performance started, my precious, precious Amanda got stolen! Without her, I wasn’t able to sing…! Uwaaahh...
 	Amanda... You mean that ugly plushie pig you always carry around with you?
 	She’s not ugly! Amanda is my best friend that always stays by my side, no matter what!
 	And then?
 	That’s the end…
 	Haahh...
 	What’s the matter? That’s quite the deep sigh.
 	Of course, I’d sigh. Not that I don’t understand what you're feeling but it’s a weak reason for me to have defected from my work.
 	Eh?
 	I can sue you under Part 2, Chapter 35, Crimes against Credit and Business for that too.
 	Hahaha! Hitoya-san, your law jokes are always funny!
 	It’s not a joke, I'm dead serious. Anyway, don’t go crying just because your plushie got stolen. And even if you tell me that, there won’t be any solution to it.
 	Eh? Can’t we find the one who took it with the law’s authority?
 	First, you should go file a theft report to the police, then come to me after the capture of the culprit. My retainer fee is high.
 	How come…
 	Say, how old are you?
 	18.
 	If you don’t quickly fix that crying habit of yours, you’ll have a hard time as you grow older.
 	That’s… true but, when I think “don’t cry, don’t cry” to myself, the more I think, tears come out…
 	In regards to that, it’s because you’re profoundly emotional. Mind training will be necessary as a proper cure to fix it.
 	Ah, that’s exaggerating…
 	The moment you say that it means you’re not willing to change. In any case, if you don’t acknowledge your current state, you won’t be moving forward. It won’t be easy, but I know the people on both sides. So your pick, therapy or training?
 	…W-what kind of people are they?
 	The doctor is an old friend, and the monk is someone I know from my work.
 	I-I see. Which one do you think is better?
 	Listen, this is important to you, decide it for yourself! It’s pointless if you don’t make a path for yourself with your own hands. The most I can do to help is just showing the way for you.
 	I-it’s because it’s important that I want you to decide for me, Hitoya-san…
 	It’s your life. Don’t entrust it to someone else besides yourself. Doing that is just escaping. When things don’t go your way, you just want the excuse that it can’t be helped because you’re not the one who decided it.
 	Uuuu...
 	Nothing would be solved even if you cry, and I don’t have anything else to say. Beats me if you’re still going to weep anyway. Get out of here already.
 	I-I’m not going home. I-I want to change… And l-like what you said just now, with my own hands…
 	Then, what will you do?
 	I’ll train. I wanna overcome my weakness with my own mind. Hitoya-san, please, refer me to this person!
 	Very well, let’s get going.
 	Eh?
 	To the temple, you’ll be training at.
 	R-Right now?
 	There are two things I can’t bear to stand. First, pineapple in sweet-and-sour pork. Second, delaying the matter that we can settle right at this time. Get going if you got that.
 	O-Okay!
 	
 	Ah… W-What a tremendously remarkable temple…
 	Well, I heard it’s the only and proper temple that runs for over 500 years.
 	By the way, what kind of a person’s going to train me?
 	The elder monk. He’s strict, but you’ll be sure to develop.
 	Ah… I hope he won’t be too hard on me.
 	Here we are.
 	Ah, you wait!
 	Lemme go!
 	Stop hitting!
 	Dammit! Let go of me, fuckin' monk!
 	What did you just said!?
 	Stop binding me!
 	And you! Stop struggling! Of all things! Don’t spit in the temple! I’ll have that cursed mouth of yours sealed shut!
 	Stay away, stay away!!! LET GO!!!
 	…U-Um…
 	That idiot must have done something again.
 	Yes, who is it?
 	Greetings.
 	Oh, my, my. Amaguni-kun!
 	It has been a while.
 	And he is?
 	This one's―
 	I’m the resplendent and chaotic vocalist. That mana of yours― Ouch!
 	Name’s Jyushi Aimono. Well, he's an old acquaintance of mine.
 	Quite a unique acquaintance you have there. Anyway, why not come inside to talk?
 	Please, pardon me then. Hey, you’re coming too.
 	Ah! I-if you excuse me.
 	
 	UGHGH!!
 	Oh, right, there’s a noisy one here. Please, pay him no mind.
 	Sure.
 	Eh? You got that?
 	It’s a routine of this temple.
 	What kind of a routine is this…?
 	Please, have some tea.
 	Thank you.
 	Thanks.
 	So, how may I help you?
 	Actually, I have a favor to ask of you.
 	Oh, a favor?
 	Yes. This guy wishes to improve himself here. Come on, you should say something too.
 	Um, p-please, take care of me.
 	Hm. It is fine to take him in formally but… I have favor from my side, too.
 	What is it?
 	Jyushi, was it? I would like for his training to be entrusted to my unworthy son.
 	That idio- …Pardon me, I mean, your son?
 	Haha, no need to. Just as you’re about to say, he’s an unruly fool dancing in the zone of stupidity.
 	UGHGH!!
 	To be honest, I’m having trouble with him. Though I suppose you know that, Amaguni-kun.
 	Well, he did cause a lot of trouble back then, as ever.
 	When he was 14, he accomplished the ascetic practice that even I couldn’t complete. I have nothing to complain about his worth as a monk. However, it’s also undeniable that there are still some drawbacks to him. Therefore, I’m thinking that it may be possible that he’ll mature too by having him develop someone else.
 	I see. That’s why you want him to look after this guy.
 	How is it?
 	It’s not up to me to decide, at all. Jyushi, it’s about you. You decide.
 	I-I…
 	Mhmhmm... I’ll kill you! ...Mhhmmm...
 	Hieeeeee–
 	You oaf! Stop intimidating people!
 	Uwaaaahhh...
 	Calm down. Nothing will be solved by crying.
 	O-Okay...
 	The guy that got rolled up over there, despite looking like that, he’s competent. It won’t turn out badly if you try giving him a shot, so I think.
 	You think?
 	Like I said earlier, you’re the one who decides. It’s up to you whether you wanna step forward or not.
 	…I …I want to advance forward! Please, look after me!
 	Alright, understood. You heard it, you’re training him now.
 	The hell are you doing, deciding without my consent! I’ve never said that I’ll do it!
 	You don’t have a right to refuse. If you say you don’t want to, then I won't allow you to enter the temple again.
 	T-That was low, damn old man!
 	It isn’t one bit. Even if you become a monk, before long it’ll be obvious to the others that you’re just a dysfunctional influence within the temple. I can’t have someone like that become a monk. Besides, there’s a lot you owe to Amaguni-kun that you can’t possibly repay.
 	…Tch. I know, I know I’ll do it, I’ll just have to do it, right?
 	Good. With this, the training will be taken by Kuko, I thank you in advance.
 	Not at all. Thank you for accepting our sudden request.
 	Thanks…!
 	Well then, I’ll leave the rest to Kuko. I’m taking my leave.
 	Well, it’s been a while, Kuko. Good to see that you’re as derisive as ever.
 	Hah! Aren’t you still acting like a criminal sheltering behind the laws?
 	Don’t say something so discreditable. I’m doing what I can within the law developed by the country.
 	You said it well for someone who’s just barely getting by with that act of yours.
 	Even if barely, it isn’t unlawful, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
 	People like you will eventually be punished by Buddha. I’m looking forward to it.
 	Look at what the one in wrap is saying.
 	Shut up. Who’s that flashy guy, by the way?
 	I’m the vocalist of romance and twilight, Jyushi Aimono. I shall allow your designation of my training. Now, let’s perform it, the scriptures of purification!
 	Hey, what’s with this screwy dude? Do I really have to train this weirdo?
 	Don’t mind it. It’s something like a fit of his so he’ll speak normally soon enough.
 	Oh, my friend, doesn’t that wording made me look pitiful?
 	Definitely you are, since you have gone completely a good-for-nothing, your head, that is.
 	Hahaha! Brisk as ever, your law jokes, my friend~
 	Which part of that is a law to you?! Enough and get back to normal!
 	Ow!
 	He’ll be taking care of you, so show some respect.
 	O-Okay. …U-Um, please look after me.
 	Enough with that. Hurry up and undo the strings. Free at last.
 	Come to think of it, how did you two get acquainted?
 	This idiot and I―
 	Hey, you bastard of a lawyer, who’s an idiot?!
 	You, who else. You’re still a brat now but who do you think wiped after your mess when you were even worse?
 	The past is past, I ain't gonna clingin' to it. Hitoya, let me say this to you. Fools who bring up the past won’t have a better tomorrow.
 	I’ve heard enough of your empty sermons.
 	D-Did something happen?
 	I was in charge of the assault case of his when he was still in middle school.
 	A-Assault?
 	Hmph.
 	Jyushi, you don’t have to fear him. He isn’t one to resort to unjust violence.
 	What do you mean…?
 	All the guys he beat up were just like the ones who made you suffer back then.
 	Eh…
 	There was extremely malicious bullying going on in his school. The bullied student attempted suicide, but Kuko saved him and everything was alright. As to what he had done, he was found guilty and convicted by law, but at the very least, it was justice to me. Therefore, I threatened the scums who played victims that I’d sue every single one of them as the assaulters.
 	And you did it for free, just like mine at that time…
 	That goes without saying. As long as I can convict those scums, I’ll be more than happy to do it for free. I pledged that in front of my brother’s grave.
 	Hitoya-san…
 	That’s just how it is, everyone has their own story. Jyushi, right? You have one or two of those unpleasant pasts of yours too, don’t you?
 	I-I…
 	
Student A 	He keeps looking at the mirror, how gross~
Student B 	Uwah, I can't stand freaking narcissists, plus his way of speaking, he really can’t read the atmosphere.
 	
 	Uwaaahhhh… I-I’m… not gross…
 	That’s right. you did nothing wrong. So calm down.
 	(Ah, so he’s also an affected one. But…) Hey, you. No matter what the reason may be, it’s alright for a man to cry only when his family or friend dies! So, don’t cry. The saying about tears making a man stronger is a deception. Tears lower the worth of a man.
 	I-I… I… want to change my current self!
 	…That’s a good look you have now. You have three options before you.
 	Options?
 	Yeah. As you’re living through your life, choices will appear in every important part of it. For example, there were times I thought about wanting to run away when my training was harsh. Run and give up the path of a monk, or resist and not give up, were my options. And as you can see, I have chosen NOT to give up. The answer’s not clear yet whether or not I made the right choice, but what’s important is you made the choice yourself. I’ll show you the ways from now on. And of course, the one who chooses will be you.
 	(He says the exact thing as Hitoya-san.)
 	Firstly, you do nothing and go home like this, and stay a crybaby your whole life. …It may sound like a negative outcome but it’s also a path for you. Secondly, you undergo your training at our temple. You’ll be practicing the ascetics I did when I was 14 for your training.
 	By ascetics, what sort of training is it?
 	Haha! You wanna know? First of all, we’ll shave the hair off your whole body.
 	Heeeeh?? P-Please, spare me, Visual kei is my life…!
 	That so. Thirdly…
 	Huh? …That microphone…!
 	…is to withstand my Hypnosis Mic attacks.
 	Withstand your attacks…?
 	Damn right. I’ll use this to tune and shape your spirit. If you can withstand continuously, you’ll be able to grasp tenacious mental fortitude.
 	T-To think we can use it that way…
 	However, intensive training with this mic is remarkably severe than normal training.
 	I-Is that so?
 	It’s a lethal weapon. The production of all the other weapons that can kill is prohibited in prospect to that but, depending on how the mic is used, it can destroy people. And I’m going to use such a lethal weapon. One wrong move, and it won’t be a wonder if your spirit breaks down and your mental got sent flying to the moon.
 	Uuuuhhh...
 	What are you doing making him scared before even trying?
 	If I don’t clarify the risks, it won’t be fair to do this one-sidedly.
 	What I’m trying to say here is, don’t unnecessarily daunt him. Fear clouds one’s sight, after all.
 	Fear certainly does cloud one’s sight but if someone judges and refuses because of it, he’s downright unfitting to be in Hypnosis Mic battles.
 	What a reckless guy you are.
 	Well now. Have you made up your mind? It’s pointless to overthink it.
 	…I-I…
 	This is important to you, decide it for yourself! It’s pointless if you don’t make a path for yourself with your own hands.
 	It’s alright for a man to cry only when his family or friend dies! So don’t cry.
 	…The mic… The mic, please!
 	Alright! Then let’s get started. Okay, are you ready?
 	Yeah!
 	Let’s go!
 	Stop sniveling, you brat!It’s pesky, watching youIt’s important that you decide, choose your option yourself!Now’s the revolution, rap’s the superstitionDon’t make the decision of not decidingOr else it’s your decadence!My sermons, downright preachingIt’s a game-set promptly decided with one verse!
 	Aaaahhh...!
 	He lost his consciousness, huh. Well, I suppose that’s how it is in the beginning.
 	Hey, Kuko! You’re going too far out of the blue!
 	Sadly, I’m not that skillful to be able to hold back.
 	Hey, Jyushi, wake up.
 	Well, he took my lyrics head-on. He won’t wake up with that. Dashing water over him should do the trick.
 	
 	Aahhh..!
 	Ah, it’s no time to be depressed. We’re moving on!
 	…Sure…!
 	Aight. Let’s go!
 	
 	Aahhh..!
 	Come on, we’re moving on!
 	
 	Aaahh...!
 	Heh. You didn’t end up getting knocked out again. You’re the second person who withstood my lyrics several tens of times continuously within a day. You sure have guts.
 	The second… Who’s the other one?
 	…Hmph. Hell’s not something you can just peer into as you like.
 	Ah…
 	Hey, cash-brained lawyer!
 	Who's "cash-brained", you depraved monk?
 	You help out too.
 	Huh? Why?
 	He’s your friend so it makes sense to cooperate with him, no?
 	Hah.
 	I’m telling you first, don’t you go easy. Holding back is an act of disrespect to your opponent.
 	I got that. Jyushi, that’s how it goes. Let’s go at it seriously.
 	Okay. Please, I’m… counting on you!
 	Be grateful, JyushiYou should know it yourself really wellPeople are always judging above the lawHeaven and earth, I’m a lawyerIt’s not whether you “step up” or “turn back”Refine yourself in the non-aesthetic way of lifeIt’ll always be you who weighs your optionsListen to your heart for the best answer!
 	Ahh...!
 	(Heh… Hitoya has some pretty interesting lyrics.)
 	…Next one, please!
 	(This guy, he grows so much in such a short amount of time. No, more importantly, his strength…) Hahaha! You have come to do it after all.
 	Ah...!
 	Try it.
 	Eh?
 	Try and strike me with your lyrics.
 	T-that’s… even if you suddenly tell me to do it…
 	What are you saying?
 	Shut up, Hitoya. Hey, hurry up and do it already!
 	B-but…!
 	Think of me as someone who bullied you and attack me!
 	But why―
 	Quit asking and hurry up!
 	…Eh…
 	
Student 	I don’t wanna see your face anymore so don’t ever come to school! The whole school hates you, it’s pointless for you to come anyway! Besides, you’ll just be a pain in the ass wherever you go. Just disappear.
 	
 	E-Enough… What… WHAT DID I EVER DO!?
 	Fired up at last. Now come at me!
 	I want to go to the next stepEven further, one step aheadExperiencing miserable bullyingThe washbasin was my destination for everything that’d happenedBut I’m not the same as back then anymoreI’ll do what I want with my own decisionI need no more defense or sermonsI’ll try to be a new me my way!
 	Ahh...! …You did it. (His lyrics made me feel his strong vengeance. This guy’s interesting.) Hahaha! Hey!
 	…What is it?
 	The path that you chose will start from here.
 	Start from here?
 	Form a team and enter the Division Battle with me.
 	Division… Battle?
 	That’s right. Let’s aim for the top and be someone you can be proud of!
 	Ahh… let me think for a―
 	Don’t tell me you’ll think about it. Decide it right now! I hate waiting!
 	H-Hitoya-san… (No… I can’t have myself relying on others again… If I do, I won’t grow at all…) …I’m looking forward to working with you!
 	Yeah, I’ll be counting on you.
 	But… why me?
 	I’ve taken a liking to the conviction in that heart of yours that lies deepest within you.
 	The conviction… in my heart…
 	Yeah, you fainted but you didn’t break down no matter how many times I've hit you with my lyrics. There’s hardly any other guys like that. …And so, I’m counting on you!
 	Okay!
 	Alright then, since things are settled, I’ll take my leave.
 	Hold up, you miser lawyer!
 	What is it, you good-for-nothing apprentice monk?
 	You forget something.
 	…Hypnosis Mic. What’s the meaning of this?
 	You’re also a member of my team.
 	I don’t get you.
 	It’s all decided. I won’t allow you to refuse.
 	Hah. There are two things I can’t tolerate. First, red-haired brats. Second, coercing me into doing something.
 	Hya! Aren’t those two directed at me?
 	So you do realize.
 	That so. And I was going to fix up a match stage with Jakurai Jinguji too, you’re running away? Well, I get you though, what a wise choice to run away from an opponent you haven’t won against even once.
 	Tch. Now that I think of it, I told you that before.
 	There are two paths before you. Firstly, keep running away like this from Jakurai Jinguji, and lead a life of not winning even once. Or secondly, take this mic and challenge him. So what are you gonna do? I hate waiting, so quick and make up your mind.
 	Hah. You got my attention. I’m in.
 	That’s how it should be. Come on here!
 	Don’t pull me…
 	Hey, Jyushi, hold out your hand.
 	O-okay!
 	Come on, Hitoya, you too. Put your hand on Jyushi’s.
 	I told you, no need to pull me.
 	Alright.
 	Eh?
 	What’s with this?
 	From today onwards, we’re a family. Even if we die, this bond will never be gone. Know that both running away or betraying is unimaginable.
 	Got it!
 	If you betray us, the law will take over and deal with you.
 	Haha! I’ll engrave it in my mind. …Just you wait, Ichiro.
 	
 	Hm, hm~ looks like things end well~
 	Oh? How may I help you?
 	Ahaha, this plushie was on the temple grounds so I brought it here. Here you go!
 	Well, well! Thank you very much.
 	Well then~ Bye-b~! Now, all the actors have been gathered. There should be a big movement for the next battle. They can just dance to their utmost on the palms of those women. (Damn it, there’s no… time…)
