Party of Words Official A	Pardon! Acting Director! The reinforcements!
 	Which division is it this time?
Party of Words Official A	Kofu Division.
 	Understood. I'll take over. Return at your position at once.
Party of Words Official A	Roger that!
Party of Words Official B	This is the Criminal Bureau, Department 2.
 	Aohitsugi speaking.
Party of Words Official B	Another dispatch request?
 	Yes... Please send Kofu reinforcements right away...
Party of Words Official A	We don't have enough personnel!
 	Out of all operatives in Sapporo, please send 100 of them to Kofu.
Party of Words Official B	Roger that!
 	It's been three weeks since that coup. Hypnosis Mics haven't been able to be used since then. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before rebels march in with weapons in hand. The Prime Minister, Ichijiku-san, and anyone who holds a position higher than chief have been imprisoned in the Special Prison, which is being monitored by Ramuda Amemuras that hold True Hypnosis Mics. Honobono-san is currently missing along with her Kotosarai troops. The whereabouts of Rei Amayado are also unknown. What should we do…
 	
Man 	Ten armed robbers! Quick, someone help--
Robber 	Quit mucking around and hand over the cash, now.
Man 	I... I will. Please, just spare me...!
Robber 	Double time!
Man 	O-Okay!
Robber 	And be quiet! Anyone tries giving me a lip, I'll crack yer head open! The police ain't helping you anyway, how about I just waste one of you now?
Man 	P-Please... Help me!
Robber 	Oh, don't you worry. I'll knock your lights out in one blow!
Man 	Please stop!
 	Think you can do this shit in my town and I'll forgive you? I'll fuckin' rip you open!
Robber 	Heh, I'm not afraid of you without your mic, Samatoki Aohitsugi! 'Sides, what are you supposed to do on your own--
 	No matter how many of you leucochloridium get together, you'll never be my enemy.
Robber 	Don’t get cocky just because you took down two of us! We’ve still got an army!
 	Then you should not mind me providing backup, correct?
 	Rio? The hell are you doing here?
 	I've heard screaming while I was on patrol. My duty as a soldier is to never ignore the public order being disturbed.
 	I'll handle the pricks on my own. But since you're here, feel free to give 'em hell.
 	That was the plan.
Robber 	Let's fuck 'em up!
 	
 	Hmph. Even more of a small fry than i thought.
 	A simple group of amaterurs. The numbers did not prove to be much of an advantage.
Robber 	Shit!
Man 	He's got the money!
 	Samatoki, pursuit is in order!
 	Yeah!
 	
Robber 	Are they evne human!? Outta my way! Or I'll fuckin' kill you!
 	You can tell me to get out of the way, but alas, in my position it's not possible.
Robber 	A cop without a mic? And what are you gonna do!?
 	A bat? What a perfect handicap. Well, come at me, be my guest.
Robber 	I'll rough you up!
 	With mic or not, a police officer should know how to hold himself in a fight.
 	Jyuto, there you are.
 	You were here, chilling, and didn't come when I asked!?
 	Apologies. It's hardly an excuse, but similar incidents are happening all over the city.
 	Yeah, it ain't an excuse.
 	Samatoki, these are the times we live in. Being too hard on someone for handling their own business is counter-productive.
 	I know that. Who woulda thought that the world would go to shit without Hypnosis Mics.
 	Shows how many people have been opressed, I suppose.
 	To think that just a lack of people to deliver judgment can lead to such chaos...is this what human nature is all about?
 	I ain't buyin' that.
 	Me neither.
 	Fair enough. Whatever the case, a world where the weak are oppressed is unacceptable. If we continue to operate only within our reach, we will eventually reach our limits.
 	We must take action ASAP.
 	We can talk 'bout it later. Let's go!
 	Got it!
 	
Woman 	Thanks for the help, Ichiro-kun!
 	I'm just glad no one got hurt.
Woman 	Who knew the world would end up like this again…
 	Yeah...
Woman 	Oh, right! Please take this as a thank you! It’s good meat, it should be delicious!
 	Thanks a lot!
 	
 	I’m home. The two aren’t back yet, huh… There’s a limit to suppressing everything by force. If we don’t think of another solution, the city will collapse sooner than later. I wonder if there are any good ideas…
 	Any good ideas for what?
 	Woah! You came home?
 	If you want, we can help you out. As they say, three brains are better than one.
 	It’s three heads are better than one. But that means that you don’t have to be particularly smart to come up with a good idea if three people get together and discuss. The only one here who isn’t particularly smart is you, Jiro, so in this case that isn’t correct.
 	Shut up, I’m just trying to set the mood!
 	Ignorant fool...
 	Thanks, guys. Well then, can I ask for your help?
 	Yeah!
 	
 	I see. It’s just as you say, Ichi-nii.
 	Ikebukuro is getting pretty unsafe too.
 	Do you guys have any good ideas?
 	Hmm, let’s see. Maybe we can do something recreational to entertain everyone.
 	Then let’s host a marathon with everyone in Ikebukuro! If we get moving, no one would have the energy for violence, right?
 	Instead of physical exercise, why don’t we have a game competition? If we play a cooperative game and get to know each other better, violence would decrease.
 	What do you think, aniki?
 	Ichi-nii, what do you think?
 	Hmm…Well you both have a point. But there’s a problem.
 	What is it?
 	It would be impossible to get everyone to participate.
 	That’s true…And we can’t force everyone…
 	Then how about we all sing together?
 	What are you saying?
 	Recreation… Singing… Oh! I know!
 	Did you think of something?
 	How about we hold a festival? When the Division Rap Battle was going on, everyone in the country became one and got really hyped up!
 	I see, so you want to hold a music festival?
 	That’s right.
 	Does that mean you’re gonna gather up guys who can rap?
 	Music isn’t just about rapping, they can play whatever genre they want.
 	Since music is the common language across all generations!
 	Yeah. Let’s throw a big music festival to give everyone courage to survive in this unstable world! Can you two give me a hand?
 	Of course! I’m super excited!
 	Okay! I’ll make sure that it’ll be successful!
 	In order to make this festival a hit, we should probably ask them for help.
 	Them?
 	The guys who were in the Division Rap Battle Championship Tournament.
 	I see… It’s a big ask of them as enemies, but it will surely make it more fun.
 	I’ll call on the people I can, and you guys do the same.
 	Got it! I’ll look for other people who might be interested.
 	And I’ll calculate the budget for the festival!
 	They’ve grown up so much. But, we need to get the power of the mics back, otherwise we’ll never get to the root of the problem.
 	
 	The folks of Shibuya! Thanks for coming here today!
 	We sincerely apologize for taking up your valuable time.
 	Please listen to what we have to say, just for a little while!
 	As you all know, Hypnosis Mics are currently out of service. There is still no announcement from Chuohku about it.
 	As soon as the mics stopped working, there have been a lot of cruel looting going on! And we don’t know why, but Chuohku won’t stand up to them.
 	I don’t wanna see people fighting! It’s times like these where we need to join hands with one another and get through this together!
Woman 	Ramuda-chan’s right! I want to live in peace!
Man 	Dice! To resolve the whole thing, I need you to pay me back!
 	H-H-Hold your horses! I’ll pay you back, but just wait! All the casinos are closed right now, so wait until they open back up!
 	Is working a real job to pay it back not an option for you?
 	Yeah, Dice! You have to work properly to pay it back!
 	Ahahaha…
Man 	There’s a gang of robbers running amok in the department store!
 	Gentaro, Ramuda, let’s go! Cover my six!
 	Alright!
 	'Kay~!
 	Anyone who knows how to use their fists, come with us!
Man A 	Leave it to me!
Man B 	I'll show 'em!
Man C 	Let's kick their asses!
 	
 	We’re hooome!
 	Numbers do hold great power, indeed. The thugs were shivering.
 	Yeah! If we stick together like this, we actually might be okay!
 	Hmm, but I don’t think this situation will last long, though.
 	Agreed.
 	Why's that?
 	Shibuya is still holding the peace relatively well compared to other places, and logistics are protected. However, the villains from other divisions, once they run out of things to steal in their own division, will undoubtedly come here.
 	If that happens, we’ll be at a disadvantage in numbers and get taken down!
 	Argh! So that’s what’ll happen…
 	That’s why we need to do something about this situation before it happens.
 	Yes. And to do that…
 	I’m getting a call from Ichiro. I’m gonna take it.
 	Okay.
 	Go ahead.
 	Hello hellololo? It’s Ramuramu’s phone! What’s up, Ichiro?
 	I want to talk to you about something.
 	Speak your mind!
 	Here's the thing...
 	
 	What was the call about?
 	He asked me about a bunch of things. He’s gonna hold a music festival so he wants my help, and he also wants to restore the power of Hypnosis Mics so he wanted me to share my wisdom!
 	Restore the power of mics?
 	True, as long as we have mics, even if it’s just us, we could easily take on dozens of opponents. But I wonder why the mics became unusable…
 	Maybe something unexpected happened in Chuohku? I don’t think they wanted this all either.
 	Something unexpected, huh. I can’t even imagine it. Huh? What’s wrong, Gentaro?
 	I believe that I can be of assistance to Ichiro Yamada-kun.
 	Huh?
 	Oh! Could it mean…
 	Yes, with that prosecution manuscript.
 	It’s true that with that…
 	So, I will head to Ikebukuro.
 	But, you said there were no copies…
 	Worry not.
 	Y-you mean to say you were lying as usual!? Lies during negotiations are…
 	No, there are definitely no copies of the original.
 	Then why?
 	I have memorized it all, and I have already transcribed it word for word without a doubt.
 	
 	Yotsutsuji-kun. I thought that if I helped the Party of Words with their experiments, I could unravel the secrets behind the True Hypnosis Mic, but at this rate, I don’t know if I can help you open your eyes…
 	Jakurai-san…
 	I apologize, but I don’t think I can help you with this. I really need to do research on the True Hypnosis Mic…
 	
 	Jakurai-san also has his own circumstances… Come in.
 	Pardon me.
 	What? Gentaro Yumeno-san?
 	Oh, my arrival here seems to have surprised you.
 	Well, yeah.
 	This place is an odd jobs. It’s only natural that anyone can come here, right? So, it’s not strange for me to visit.
 	True.
 	May I sit?
 	Please. I’ll make some tea.
 	No need. I would like to get to the main topic as soon as possible.
 	O-Okay. So, what’s the request?
 	First, take a look at this.
 	Chuohku prosecution document? What’s this?
 	Please read it.
 	Alright. Seriously…? Is all that’s written here…
 	It’s the truth.
 	Where did you get this?!
 	The man who wrote this is my older brother. He tried to publish this document at great risk, but was deemed dangerous by Chuohku, and purged.
 	And where is your brother now…?
 	He is comatose.
 	I see. I’m sorry to hear that…But, why are you showing this to me?
 	I heard from Ramuda that you are trying to restore the power of Hypnosis Mics, correct?
 	Yeah. In today’s world, those mics are necessary.
 	I believe so as well. That is why I want to use the mic’s power to quickly restore the world to normal and to expose the misdeeds of Chuohku in broad daylight, in order to avenge my brother. And to do this…
 	Hm?
 	Rei Yamada. According to this background investigation report, Rei Yamada, ex-military, is cited as the developer of the Hypnosis Mic. Unfortunately, there are no photos of him…
 	...Did he do this to your brother?
 	No, he did not. My brother was eliminated by a special unit, known as Kotosarai.
 	I see.
 	Let’s return to the main subject. I suspect that Rei Yamada is involved in the mic becoming unusable.
 	That might be true. Something unexpected must have happened in Chuohku. It’s plausible that the mastermind behind that unexpected event is the developer… Rei Yamada.
 	Exactly. However, I have been trying to track his whereabouts independently, but I have not been able to find any leads at all.
 	Leave that investigation to me then.
 	I will not inquire about your relationship with Rei Yamada. Apart from that, my request is for you to investigate the Hypnosis Mic and the True Hypnosis Mic development facility mentioned in the manuscript together with me.
 	And if we investigate there, you think we might find some clues?
 	I don’t know. However, at the moment, it is our best lead. So, let’s go to the location mentioned in the document right away.
 	Before that, there’s a place I’d like to visit. Is that okay?
 	That’s fine, but where to?
 	To the place where someone we know would investigate this matter with us.
 	
 	I have been awaiting you. Please, come in. This is quite appalling information.
 	I heard from Ichiro-kun that you were also researching the mics.
 	Yes, although I have not gotten any leads.
 	Um, why are you researching the True Hypnosis Mic? If you don’t want to answer…
 	No, this is a good opportunity, so I will tell you. This is a story that took place in the 1st year of the H Era…
 	
 	So that happened back then…
 	Chuohku is indeed wicked. Who attacked Kannabi-san with the True Hypnosis Mic?
 	They were certain pawns of Chuohku. I want to unravel the secrets of the True Hypnosis Mic and awaken Yotsutsuji-kun. So, I would be happy to cooperate with you two.
 	I appreciate it.
 	Thank you.
 	Oh, right. About the music festival.
 	What about it?
 	I talked to Hifumi-kun and Doppo-kun, and they agreed to help.
 	For real!?
 	Yes, they both readily accepted. They should probably be visiting your house today.
 	I'll let my bros know!
 	They will undoubtedly be of great help.
 	Now then, let’s head to the location in question right away.
 	Sure.
 	Okay.
 	
 	It’s been a while since I came to Ikebukuro, but there are hardly any people around.
 	That’s the way things are in times like these. It’s right to avoid going out as much as possible. Kabukicho still seems as crowded as ever though.
 	Maybe it’s because in times like these, people want to distract themselves by drinking.
 	That could be true.
 	My work is business as usual, but it seems like you have it easier now, Doppo-kun.
 	Ugh…Hahaha…With logistics halted and no new clients being accepted, my office attendance has been cut in half…
 	It’s a good opportunity to take a break!
 	My salary’s also been cut in half!
 	This is the perfect time to use your savings for some hobbies!
 	The savings I shaved years of my life off for…I don’t want to spend it…
Robber 	Then, we’ll put your savings to good use for you. Hand it over.
 	Huh?
Robber 	Come with us to the bank, and take out all your savings for us.
 	There’s so many robbers!
 	One, two, three, four, five of them. We are quite outnumbered here.
 	How can you be so calm in a situation like this?!
 	Panicking won’t change these circumstances, Doppo-kun.
Robber 	Hand over your savings before we knock you out!
 	Are y'all good!?
 	J-Jiro-kun?
Robber 	Jiro Yamada! Stay out of this!
 	Stop doing something so lame!
Robber 	Kill them! Dammit, don’t back down!
 	You weaklings…
Robber 	Don’t let your guard down! Y-you!
 	Nice one, Doppo!
 	Jiro-kun, thank you for saving us.
 	Yeah! I’m glad you guys are okay.
 	But why are you here?
 	You guys look so weak that I thought you’d get beaten up along the way, so I came to pick you guys up. And just as I expected, you guys got tangled up in this mess.
 	I-I see…Thanks for coming to our rescue.
 	It’s all good! Now, let’s go.
 	
 	You’re late!
 	Sorry, sorry! Some idiots ganged up on us and got in our way.
 	There are too many lowlifes in this world, seriously.
 	You two can have a seat there.
 	Alright.
 	Th-thank you for having us.
 	So, we heard about the festival, how much do you have planned so far?
 	We’ve got the budget and performers mostly sorted out.
 	And what else…?
 	We’re just getting started!
 	I-I see.
 	Do you have an idea of what kind of festival you want it to be?
 	Let’s see, doing it the normal way would be boring, so we’re dividing it into two big groups and making them compete.
 	Since people were attracted to Division Rap Battles because of the competition.
 	That makes sense. Since it’s not actual battles, it sounds like a good idea.
 	Also, we want not only the people at the venue but also people from all over the country to see it.
 	In that case, it might be faster to involve a TV station!
 	Yeah, but how do we get them involved…
 	I’ve got a good idea!
 	What, tell us already!
 	I’ll contact that comedian, Sasara Nurude, and he can help us talk to the bigwigs at a TV station!
 	Well, if it’s a comedian of that caliber, he might have connections at a TV station, but how do you plan to contact him?
 	I’ll give him a call!
 	Huh, you have Sasara Nurude’s phone number?
 	Yeah, I exchanged numbers with him when we participated in Freestyle Gladiator!
 	Then hurry up and call the guy!
 	Wait! Before you talk to him, we need to create a proper proposal!
 	Oh, I can help with that.
 	I can handle it on my own, but Ichi-nii asked us to cooperate with each other, so I’ll let you help me out. Be grateful.
 	Ah…Haha…Thank you.
 	Saburo’s grown up so much.
 	Uh, where exactly did you see any signs of growth just now?
 	
 	This is the address mentioned in the document.
 	It’s just an empty lot now…
 	When you think about it, this is information from many years ago. It is not surprising that the location has changed.
 	That is true.
 	Dammit! We lost our lead!
 	What should we do now?
 	It’s too early to lose hope just yet.
 	What?
 	Please wait a moment.
 	
 	Yo, Hitoya!
 	Hitoya-san!
 	I’m working. Get lost.
 	Ichiro came up with something fun! The three of us are gonna form a band and participate!
 	Let’s do it, Hitoya-san!
 	Listen to what I just said. I told you to get lost.
 	I’ll do guitar and vocals, Jyushi will play bass, and you’ll be on drums.
 	I’ll practice hard on the bass!
 	I don’t get it. Explain it step by step at least.
 	Fine then. So Ichiro…
 	
 	A music festival, huh?
 	Yeah! I was impressed by his determination to cheer up this stifling world! There’s no reason to refuse, right?
 	Let’s participate together, Hitoya-san! We can use the power of music to cheer everyone up!
 	That’s true. Music is perfect for improving the mood of this world right now. But I have work…Anyways, why do you guys know that I can play the drums? I don’t remember ever saying that.
 	Huh? You don’t remember? Remember how we got dinner with the guys from Shinjuku after Freestyle Gladiator?
 	I drank so much that day that my memory’s a little fuzzy. Did I tell you about it then?
 	You didn’t necessarily tell us… right, Jyushi?
 	You showed us your drumming skills there!
 	Huh? At a restaurant?
 	You don’t remember?
 	Nope, I have no memory of it.
 	Well, it was a fancy restaurant with a grand piano, and towards the end of the night, Jinguji-san played it for us.
 	It was impressive.
 	So there, Hitoya-san, you got super duper drunk and said “There are two things I can’t stand. First, strawberries inside shortcake. Second, Jakurai standing out more than me!” Once you said that, you used dishes as drums and hit them using chopsticks!
 	Yeah.
 	That can’t be true! Jyushi, don’t make up this bull!
 	I’ve never seen such impressive chopstick skills before!
 	It was like there was a real drum set there!
 	Stop! Don’t talk about that story anymore!
 	What? Why not? And since there was no bass drum, you were keeping rhythm with your foot…
 	Okay, I got it! I’ll join you guys! So never speak about this ever again!
 	You’ll do it? Yay!
 	Now that that’s settled, it’s time to practice! Let’s go, guys!
 	Okay!
 	Fine…Huh? Speak of the devil. You guys go on ahead, I’ll catch up.
 	'Kay.
 	Alright!
 	Listening.
 	Sorry for calling all of a sudden. Do you have time to chat?
 	Yeah. What's up?
 	So...
 	
 	So, when we got here, we were greeted with an empty lot.
 	I see.
 	Is there anything we can figure out from this plot of land?
 	If we obtain the land registry copy for it, I might be able to trace the previous owner’s information.
 	This matter involves the government. There is a possibility that public records have been altered.
 	Even if they’ve been tampered with, there should be traces left somewhere.
 	I think it’s dangerous, but can you do it?
 	Who do you think I am? I’ll take care of this. I’ll definitely find the owner and locate the mic factory.
 	Thank you. I’ll leave it to you, Hitoya.
 	Alright.
 	Let’s go out for a meal once things settle down.
 	Sounds good.
 	And maybe I can see your drum performance with dishes and chopsticks again…
 	
 	The call got cut off. Perhaps the signal was bad?
 	Who were you calling?
 	My friend who is a lawyer. He said he would look into the whereabouts of the current factory by searching for the owner from the registration records.
 	Seriously!? Lawyers are amazing!
 	No, he’s just exceptionally capable.
 	You have a really great friend.
 	Yes, I really do think so.
 	Saburo? Please excuse me for a sec.
 	Sure.
 	Go ahead.
 	Hello.
 	I’m sorry to bother you while you’re busy. But there’s a little problem.
 	What’s wrong?
 	I asked for cooperation from Samatoki Aohitsugi, but that guy said “If you want something from me, it’s only right for Ichiro to come and ask me directly.”
 	Ah, well, he’s got a point. I understand. I’ll go see him and ask him myself.
 	Sorry to trouble you when you’re busy.
 	Don’t worry about it. Talk to you later.
 	Did something happen?
 	Oh, just a small issue. I’ll be working solo for a bit. There’s also the matter of Rei Yamada.
 	Understood. Let’s keep in touch.
 	Sure thing.
 	
 	Thank ya a bunch for takin' on the broadcastin' project.
TV Worker 	It’s an unexpected opportunity for our station, and if it benefits our society, then we’ll give it our all!
 	Alrighty, I’ll be in touch again soon!
TV Worker 	Please do!
 	Now, please excuse me.
 	
 	Am home!
 	This ain't yer home, ya know.
 	Oh, c'mon! Let me at least say "I'm home!"
 	So? How's the meeting?
 	Got me the green light!
 	Oh, that's great!
 	Well, with some smooth-talkin' and the popularity of yers truly, this ain't nothin' but a light breeze.
 	I can’t deny that, but wasn’t it the project proposal created by Saburo-kun and Kannonzaka-san that really shined through?
 	True that. Them Japanese salarymen who've been throuch hell and back can really put it off.
 	And Saburo-kun's just a middle schooler, but he’s really something.
 	So? What are we singin'?
 	Actually, can I pass on that?
 	Idiot! Are ya pullin' my chain? Didn’t yau say ya’d deliver energy to all the students across the country during their school closure? Where’d that spirit go!?
 	Fair enough... Sorry.
 	As long as we're on the same page.
 	Yeah but... a song, huh. I can only sing 70s pop songs.
 	A 70s pop song sounds grand! Let’s create a song in that direction.
 	We’re singin' an original song!?
 	Sure we are! Since I have this chance, I’m thinkin' that I should debut as an artist!
 	Well, it’s a good opportunity to connect it to your work…Speaking of, have you been able to get in touch with Rei?
 	Big nope here. I'm callin', I'm textin', I'm doin' both at once: full on-radio silence.
 	I wanted him to perform at the festival too.
 	That makes two of us.
 	Where’d that guy go?
 	
 	Can I put the food on this desk?
 	Yeah.
 	Chan-Jiro, Chan-Sabu, you both can cook, huh?
 	This is pretty standard, and I don’t want you to compare my cooking skills with Jiro.
 	But Chan-Jiro’s stew looks delish!
 	It’s not just delicious, it’s super delicious!
 	He’s just roughly chopping ingredients and throwing them into the pot. It doesn’t even come close to the quality of my Aqua Pazza.
 	From my perspective, just using a knife for cooking is impressive…
 	Well, as long as it’s tasty, it doesn’t matter!
 	But we definitely made too much.
 	Aqua Pazza, potato salad, spaghetti salad, stew, chili shrimp…the variety is all over the place.
 	It gives a party vibe, which is nice.
 	That’s right! Let’s sit down and eat!
All 	Thank you for the meal.
 	Oh, by the way, there was an argument about who would be the director. What’s the decision?
 	
 	I’m doing it!
 	What the heck!?
 	Here we go again! Hifumi, don’t provoke a fight while we’re eating!
 	Nyahaha! But their quarrel's so entertaining!
 	I just want one peaceful meal…
 	There’s no way an idiot like you can handle being the director!
 	If we leave it to you, it’ll turn into some kiddy party!
 	Say what!?
 	What!?
 	Alright, alright, alright! Then I’ll be the director!
 	Ramuda Amemura-san? Why are you here?
 	Ehehe! It’s because Ichiro told me “You’ll come up with lots of ideas to make the festival fun, right? So, lend a hand to my little bros!”
 	We heard that you were coming from Ichi-nii, but…
 	Who barges into someone’s home without permission?
 	No one came to the door, though.
 	So you entered someone’s living room without permission? You’re totes crazy.
 	Ramuda, were they up there?
 	Oh, Dice! Over here!
 	Woah! That food looks dope! Mind if I dig in?
 	It’s fine, but…
 	Bon appetit!
 	Who eats like this...?
 	Ahaha…Let’s leave Dice alone and get back on track.
 	So, Amemura-san will be our director…
 	Yup! There’s no one else among us who can do it, right?
 	Who are you to say that?!
 	I direct my own shows every time, and they’re well-received. I’m a professional who’s asked to direct plays and events too!
 	But that doesn’t prove you’re better than me.
 	So, what kind of production are you planning, Osabusabu?
 	I want to use 3D mapping to make the opening exciting. And…
 	First off, do you have a designer to create that 3D mapping?
 	N-no, but I can find one quickly by looking it up online, right?
 	Tsk, tsk, tsk, how naive, how so naive of you.
 	What do you mean?
 	Even if you find a good designer and commission them, there’s no guarantee they’ll accept.
 	That’s impossible! If I offer enough money, they should do it!
 	If you think that way, you won’t be able to produce anything good.
 	But can’t you create better things by spending more money?
 	You’re not wrong, but the talented creators around me prioritize who they work with and what they work on over money.
 	I see, makes sense.
 	I know a ton of great designers, and I’ve worked with them many times, so they’ll definitely cooperate with us!
 	Fine then! You’re right. I’ll leave the director role to you then.
 	Thanks.
 	The festival better be excellent.
 	Of course, no doubt about it!
 	Wait, hey!!
 	Huh? What’s wrong?
 	Arisugawa ate all our food!
Doppo, Hifumi & Saburo 	WHAT!?
 	Ahaha! Dice really eats like a piggy!
 	Phew, that's the stuff. Hey, are there seconds? Oh, are y'all bringing them to me? You’re good folks!
 	Um... Dice? A friendly advice, you better start running.
 	Huh? Running? What for?
 	Well... You see...
 	Get his ass!
 	HYAAA!!!
 	He's getting away! After him!
 	What did I even do?!
 	I’ll teach you what it’s like to hold a grudge over food! Get back here!!
 	H-HELP MEEEE!
 	
Katen Family Member 	Yes?
 	Ichiro Yamada. Here to see Samatoki Aohitsugi.
Katen Family Member 	We've been waiting for ya. This way, please. Boss, there he is.
 	Come in.
Katen Family Member 	Go ahead.
 	Thanks. Sorry for taking up your time, Samatoki.
 	"Sorry" won't cut it.
 	Huh?
 	There ain't such a thing as attitude when you ask for something.
 	...I apologize for taking up your precious time, Samatoki.
 	It's Samatoki-san, shithead.
 	Shut up! Do you enjoy bullying your juniors? Let me just get to the point.
 	Fine, since I’m not exactly free either. So, what do you want from me?
 	I want to hold a festival to inspire the people in this troubled world right now. Will you perform at it?
 	A festival, eh.
 	It can be rap or anything else. I want you to hype up the crowd.
 	Hype 'em up?
 	Yeah.
 	Inspiring the people of the world, huh? You’re still spewing that idealistic bullshit, ain'cha? Do you really think this cesspool of a world will ever change with that?
 	I don't know. But it's better than doing nothing. You've seen it too, haven't you? How powerless people are living in fear of unjust violence. I want them to feel that the solution doesn't lie in senseless violence but in empathy and helping each other! I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make them feel that way.
 	You’re really spouting up everything, huh.
 	Please. Will you lend me your strength?
 	Lift your head. It sure is better than doing nothing.
 	So then…
 	One condition.
 	Condition?
 	You’ll owe me. Next time, you’ll listen to one of my orders unconditionally.
 	Understood.
 	Is this a matter of great importance, like a crucial hostage rescue mission?
 	What is Ichiro Yamada doing here?
 	Jyuto! Rio!
 	Huh?
 	Ichiro's organizing an event, so choose your favorite song and practice it.
 	Huh? What do you mean?
 	I request elaboration.
 	Hey, Ichiro.
 	What?
 	Has the security for the festival venue been arranged?
 	No, not yet.
 	Alright then. Have this cop here take command.
 	Hey, Samatoki, what’s going on here?
 	Security? What is the expected scope and type of enemy attack?
 	You can ask Ichiro for the details later. Ichiro, feel free to use these guys however you want.
 	Really?
 	Yeah.
 	Don't you "yeah" me! Who gave you the authority to make all these decisions!?
 	Jyuto, wait until you hear the full story before causing a commotion.
 	Tch.
 	Samatoki...
 	Huh?
 	Thanks.
 	Look forward to my orders.
 	As long as it within my power, I'll do anything!
 	
 	What’s all that commotion!?
Party of Words Official 	The Special Prison has been infiltrated!
 	What do you mean?
Party of Words Official 	Captain Keitouin led the Kotosarai and infiltrated the prison.
 	Honobono-san? How? What about the Prime Minister and Ichijiku-san!?
Party of Words Official 	We are not sure, the information is still convoluted!
 	Make gathering information about the situation the highest priority!
Party of Words Official 	Yes, ma’am!
 	
 	What a beautiful sight.
Kotosarai Operative 	Status report. All prisoners have been released.
 	Thank you. What happened to the dolls?
Kotosarai Operative 	The Ramuda Amemura clones were only guarding the Prime Minister’s cell, and they had no interest in us.
 	I see. And...?
Kotosarai Operative 	We left her imprisoned, as ordered.
 	I love smart work. You can go back to your duties now.
Kotosarai Operative 	Yes, ma’am!
 	Now then, I need to make the world a more interesting place from here.
