 	Haah... The situation in the world is still unstable... Come in.
 	Apologies for the intrusion.
 	Something happened?
 	Reporting: the teams for the preliminaries have been selected.
 	Is that so? How does it look like this time?
 	There are more teams now, compared to the last time, and we've selected only the best of the best.
 	Good. You can't win the Division Battle, unless you do your best.
 	New teams, like Osaka and Nagoya, are also coming together.
 	Everything goes as planned.
 	Exactly. Their abilities are getting better thanks to the battles, which means they're getting stronger, yes?
 	If the opposing teams keep fiercely fighting each other, we can make something magnificent out of it. I want them to show us their best.
 	The chances of the battles being beneficial for us are higher this time. The Division Rap Battle is flawless. Our stance is becoming better and better.
 	However, if you look at the current state of the world, you will see that bloodthirsty men keep committing their atrocities in some areas.
 	That's why we need to take control in our hands as soon as possible.
 	Yes. So let these men we have recognized do as we please.
 	I'm just... worried that some of them might rebel.
 	We have the True Hypnosis Mic for that case.
 	But if we use it, it'll destroy their abilities.
 	And we need to complete the development to fix that.
 	We need Amayado to do that, right...?
 	Yes.
 	I'm still concerned that we let such a shady person like him carry out our plan. Even if he's the one who created the Hypnosis Mic to begin with.
 	I am not going to let this man control me.
 	Then...
 	But let's allow him to pull the strings just a bit more. He is "MasterMind" after all.
 	Otome-sama.
 	What?
 	Amayado... how do you know him?
 	Yes, I didn't tell you. Well, I guess, you can know. Before that, I need to tell you more about me.
 	When you rescued me, you already had the mic.
 	Exactly.
 	So, you met him even earlier?
 	Yes. But before that...
Party of Words Employee	Yes, Otome-sama, what do you need?
 	Black tea.
Party of Words Employee	Understood.
 	It will take a while, so we can talk about it with a cup of tea.
 	Sure.
 	
 	My father was an heir of a rich and powerful family. He had connections all over the world. My mother was the daughter of a wealthy businessman. As a person born in a higher class, I had to learn a lot. Traditional Japanese dances, tea ceremonies, haiku writing, horse riding, calligraphy. I can't recall any instance when I had free time in my childhood.
Sairo Tohoten 	Otome! A woman must always respect a man and keep herself one step behind!
 	My father, Sairo Tohoten, was an old-fashioned man.
Otone Tohoten 	Otome-san, you will become a great bride who will be able to cherish her husband.
 	And my mother, Otone Tohoten, was the same as him.
 	
 	When I was a middle-schooler, my father and I had our first disagreement. I was near his office and heard the discussion.
Sairo Tohoten 	Well then, sir, I'll be counting on you.
Politician 	Hahaha! I can't decline when you're offering me this much. Leave it all to me.
Otome Tohoten 	Oh no!
Politician 	Next time, let's discuss it at lunch!
Sairo Tohoten 	Sure, I'll find a good place. Hmph... Otome? What happened?
Otome Tohoten 	Father, who is that politician?
Sairo Tohoten 	Hah, politician? Just a low-ranked bureaucrat. His kind is moved only by money, so they're easy to control. Otome, how would you define a good politician?
Otome Tohoten 	I would say, a person who leads the generation in the right direction.
Sairo Tohoten 	Exactly. A good politician is working towards the bright future. And greedy ones will be concerned only about next elections.
Otome Tohoten 	Then why did you talk to him?
Sairo Tohoten 	I'm not interested in the right direction for anyone. I'm more concerned about my own future.
Otome Tohoten 	But it's so morally wrong!
Sairo Tohoten 	I pull this man's strings, so we can live without a care about that! You should forget such nonsense as "moral".
Otome Tohoten 	I... can't... please, you must stop it!
Sairo Tohoten 	Who do you think you're talking to, Otome?
Otome Tohoten 	...!
Sairo Tohoten 	No one asked you, a woman, moreover a child, to talk! We live in such luxury only because of me! And don't you dare forget about it!
Otome Tohoten 	...
Sairo Tohoten 	Listen, Otome, you have no idea what is right and what is wrong in this world. This world is driven by profit! You better remember this!
Otome Tohoten 	But how...
Sairo Tohoten 	When it comes to profit, the ones who decide how to run the world are the true leaders. In other words, people like me!
Otome Tohoten 	Leaders...?
Sairo Tohoten 	And you're on the leader's side! You should understand how it feels to be a leader!
Otome Tohoten 	...
Sairo Tohoten 	Hahaha, I knew you'll understand.
Otome Tohoten 	This... He can insist all he wants, I will never understand!
 	
 	Several years later, I went to university and secretly started studying a political movement that opposed my father's beliefs.
Servant 	Your tea, ma'am.
Otone Tohoten 	I wonder where it is from.
Servant 	Today's tea-
Otone Tohoten 	Oh, I want Otome-san to guess!
Otome Tohoten 	What?
Otone Tohoten 	You're an expert when it comes to tea! Let's test it a bit.
Otome Tohoten 	Sure. A soft and sweet flavor. And a fruity aftertaste... Is it golden tips?
Servant 	You're absolutely right, ma'am.
Otone Tohoten 	As expected from you, Otome-san!
Otome Tohoten 	Thank you.
Otone Tohoten 	Your diligence... I sure can learn a thing or two from you, haha!
Radio 	...peace agreement has been broken and the military conflicts...
Otone Tohoten 	Oh, something about weapons again...
Otome Tohoten 	Mother.
Otone Tohoten 	What is it?
Otome Tohoten 	What do you think about that horrible war that took so many lives?
Otone Tohoten 	Why are you all of a sudden...?
Otome Tohoten 	I want to know your thoughts about this.
Otone Tohoten 	Ummm... Nothing like that happens in my everyday life.
Otome Tohoten 	Even if it doesn't, surely you have your own thoughts about this situation, right?
Otone Tohoten 	Well... It's sad that people are dying.
Otome Tohoten 	Don't you want to do something to put it all to an end?
Otone Tohoten 	I think, it's men's business and not mine.
Otome Tohoten 	But wouldn't the situation get worse if we leave it to them?
Otone Tohoten 	Haaa...
Otome Tohoten 	This indifference is the reason why women cannot take a stand in society! Even today the percentage of women in the government is merely 9%!
Otone Tohoten 	Well...
Otome Tohoten 	Moreover, not a single woman has ever taken leadership in this country, which means that men have secured their supremacy! You're a woman as well, and you don't have anything to say about this?!
Otone Tohoten 	I... think that this is men's business.
Otome Tohoten 	How can you be so indifferent about your own country?!
Otone Tohoten 	Even if I am indifferent, the world will not stop because of it. We talked too much, the tea is cold now. Let's get another one.
Otome Tohoten 	Mother!
Sairo Tohoten 	Otome! Good, you're here!
Otome Tohoten 	Father...
Sairo Tohoten 	I found you a fiancé.
Otome Tohoten 	You what?!
Sairo Tohoten 	His name is Mikado Asuka, an up-and-coming young man. I'm certain he'll be fighting for his position. If we take him in, it'll be the perfect addition to the Tohoten family.
Otome Tohoten 	What kind of man is he?
Sairo Tohoten 	Why would you care?
Otome Tohoten 	With all due respect, I would like to pick my spouse myself!
Sairo Tohoten 	The freedom of choice is a privilege of independent people. You're living in my house on my money, so you don't get the right to decide.
Otome Tohoten 	...?! If that is the case, then I'm leaving!
Otone Tohoten 	O-Otome-san, do you even know what you are talking about?
Otome Tohoten 	Of course, I'm not a child anymore. And not your leashed dog, father.
Sairo Tohoten 	You want to leave, fine, but then you have to give back all money we've spent on you since your birth.
Otome Tohoten 	Fine. I'll find a job and-
Sairo Tohoten 	DON'T TALK ABOUT THINGS YOU CAN'T DO! If you try to run away, I'll bring you back, like the last time.
Otome Tohoten 	...
Sairo Tohoten 	What is it? All this courage only in words?!
Otome Tohoten 	Then-
Otone Tohoten 	Please, calm down! Sairo-san, Otome-san is just a little bit tired.
Otome Tohoten 	Yes, I-
Sairo Tohoten 	Hmph. Fine, let's pretend none of this happened. Next week, Mikado will come for dinner. I'll make sure he will like you.
 	
 	I never felt such pain before. As my father said, all my courage was only in words. At the moment, I didn't even think about marriage. But I couldn't go against my father. I was going to get married against my will.
 	
Otome Tohoten 	Yes...?
Otone Tohoten 	Otome-san?
Otome Tohoten 	Mother...
Otone Tohoten 	Can I come in?
Otome Tohoten 	Please...
Otone Tohoten 	Otome-san, I understand how tough it is.
Otome Tohoten 	M-Mother...
Otone Tohoten 	It's okay, you can cry. I understand your concerns. You have no idea what kind of person your future husband is. But this feeling is merely temporary.
Otome Tohoten 	Temporary...?
Otone Tohoten 	Yes. We're all afraid of things we don't know.
Otome Tohoten 	...?
Otone Tohoten 	But if you face your fears, you can endure it.
Otome Tohoten 	What...?
Otone Tohoten 	You see? Just get used to it and any pain, fear, shame and humiliation, it all can be endured. Just bear with it a little longer.
Otome Tohoten 	...Fine.
 	
 	There wasn't a single shred of warmth in my mother's eyes. When I saw it, I felt such despair. I realized that my own mother told me to throw away all my dignity. I cried my eyes out, only being able to feel fear.
 	
Sairo Tohoten 	This is Asuka. Otome, introduce yourself.
Otome Tohoten 	Greetings, my name is Otome Tohoten.
Mikado Asuka 	Mikado Asuka, a pleasure to meet you.
Otome Tohoten 	Likewise.
Sairo Tohoten 	Well, let's eat then. Would you kindly?
Servant 	Understood.
Otone Tohoten 	Asuka-sama, please, take a seat.
Mikado Asuka 	If you excuse me.
Sairo Tohoten 	Don't be shy, make yourself at home.
 	
Sairo Tohoten 	How is the food, Asuka-kun?
Mikado Asuka 	Delicious.
Sairo Tohoten 	Good. I'll make sure you'll be able to eat like this every day.
Mikado Asuka 	It's good to hear. But more importantly, I wonder if Otome-san likes me...
Sairo Tohoten 	Haha! Well, how about you and Otome go on a walk in our garden? I'm sure you can't talk freely if we're around.
Mikado Asuka 	Alright.
Sairo Tohoten 	Only the most exotic flowers and trees in our garden. My pride and joy.
Mikado Asuka 	I would like to see it.
Sairo Tohoten 	Otome.
Otome Tohoten 	Yes, father. Asuka-sama, follow me.
Mikado Asuka 	Of course.
 	
Mikado Asuka 	Well, your father wasn't lying. So many kinds of trees.
Otome Tohoten 	My father collected them from all over the country.
Mikado Asuka 	Is that so? Amazing!
Otome Tohoten 	Do you like it?
Mikado Asuka 	Of course! ...Um, Otome-san?
Otome Tohoten 	Yes?
Mikado Asuka 	What do you think about our current government?
Otome Tohoten 	What?
Mikado Asuka 	Oh, sorry for such a sudden question! I heard you know a lot about politics...
Otome Tohoten 	Please, it's not that much of a-
Mikado Asuka 	I insist, I would like to listen to you! Since I'll be a part of the government, I want to know different points of view.
Otome Tohoten 	...
Mikado Asuka 	And also, I personally think that women should be involved in politics much more. Yes, all high positions are taken by men but in my opinion, there should be more place for women as well.
Otome Tohoten 	...!
Mikado Asuka 	I'm not sure if the situation will change completely but I think that the current way of doing things is outdated. And if women are involved in the government affairs, the situation might change, at least for a little.
Otome Tohoten 	I... I think that as well!
Mikado Asuka 	Well then, I want to know your thoughts.
Otome Tohoten 	I feel like this country needs changes. All these changes in the tax system, while they don't care about the well-being of their own people. The weapon laws are incredibly loose and we purchase weaponry only because other countries tell us to do so. Our country loses its soul! If men won't change their ways, then women must stand and- Oh! I deeply apologize! Such talk for a mere woman...
Mikado Asuka 	No, please, your opinion sure sounds interesting. I'd like to know the details.
 	
Mikado Asuka 	Otome-san, your view on the situation is so clear. I didn't expect a discussion like this!
Otome Tohoten 	Asuka-sama... Me too...
Mikado Asuka 	By the way, Otome-san.
Otome Tohoten 	Yes?
Mikado Asuka 	If you want to, you can call me by my name. But I would like to keep an honorific, if you're okay with it.
Otome Tohoten 	Heh. Sure. Well... Mikado-san then.
Mikado Asuka 	...
Otome Tohoten 	Do you like it?
Mikado Asuka 	Um... it's a bit chilly out here, let's go back inside.
Otome Tohoten 	Sure.
Mikado Asuka 	Otome-san.
Otome Tohoten 	Hm?
Mikado Asuka 	I hope one day, we can lead this country together.
Otome Tohoten 	...Yes!
 	
 	The next couple of years was the happiest time of my life. Mikado-san became my husband and we had a great understanding between us. Despite my father's harsh and opposing point of view, he contributed to the foundation of the Party of Words. There weren’t many people there since only women could join, but I had a dream that people with an opinion similar to mine might change this world for the better. And then, after our marriage, I was rewarded by the birth of my child.
 	
Mikado Asuka 	Otome-san, I'm so proud of you.
Otome Tohoten 	Thank you very much. Our son is so calm, just like you, Mikado-san.
Mikado Asuka 	But his glance is surely yours, Otome-san.
Otome Tohoten 	Haha. I wonder what kind of person he will become.
Mikado Asuka 	I was thinking, if we take a syllable from each of our names, it would be "Dice". What do you think?
Otome Tohoten 	Dice...?
Mikado Asuka 	There are so many hardships in this world. But no matter what will happen, luck will always be on Dice's side, and he'll remain strong.
Otome Tohoten 	That's a great name!
Mikado Asuka 	Let's make him the greatest person he'll ever be!
Otome Tohoten 	Yes!
 	
 	Dice's birth gave me something I never had before. A hope for the bright future. I was thinking about raising him until he became independent. I even thought that the whole purpose of my life was to bring him into this world... But I didn't know that happiness can't last forever...
 	
Otome Tohoten 	Welcome back, Mikado-san.
Mikado Asuka 	Y-Yeah...
Otome Tohoten 	You look a bit down. Something happened?
Mikado Asuka 	It's just...
Otome Tohoten 	We can talk if you want.
Mikado Asuka 	Don't touch me! S-sorry... I didn't want to hit you.
Otome Tohoten 	D-don't worry...
Mikado Asuka 	I'm truly sorry. I want to be alone for now.
Otome Tohoten 	Haah...
 	
Mikado Asuka 	Sorry for the intrusion.
Sairo Tohoten 	Why the long face?
Mikado Asuka 	Sir, I seriously think that we should stop doing this.
Sairo Tohoten 	You're not in the position for me to ask for your opinion.
Mikado Asuka 	...
Sairo Tohoten 	Sure, I trust you but don't forget that you'd be a nobody without me.
Mikado Asuka 	Yes...
Sairo Tohoten 	I hope you won't forget to add the new amendments... With your current position, it wouldn't be too much of a problem. All other deputies are on my leash after all.
Mikado Asuka 	Understood.
Sairo Tohoten 	Wait.
Mikado Asuka 	Yes?
Sairo Tohoten 	Tokuro, my relative... do you know what to do with him?
Mikado Asuka 	Wasn't he the one who interfered with your plans?
Sairo Tohoten 	Haha, yeah, that's him. Pin some crime on him and let him rot behind bars.
Mikado Asuka 	I'll tell the officer to deal with it.
Sairo Tohoten 	Good. You can go.
 	
Mikado Asuka 	Otome-san...
Otome Tohoten 	Mikado-san, please, whatever my father asked you to do, don't do it!
Mikado Asuka 	I didn't ask you, damn woman!
Otome Tohoten 	...!
Mikado Asuka 	Hmph.
Otome Tohoten 	Wait! Our son... Please, be a father that Dice can be proud of!
Mikado Asuka 	Argh...
Otome Tohoten 	...
 	
 	Mikado-san had changed. Father pinned a crime on his own blood relative just to make him go away. I was aware of it, but I had no idea what should I do. Until I met him.
 	
Mikado Asuka 	Thanks for your assistance, Yamada-san.
Rei Yamada 	Oh, please. The Tohoten family keeps supporting us, and now we're able to make progress on our research project.
Sairo Tohoten 	Ahahaha! We're expecting a lot from you.
Rei Yamada 	I'll make sure to meet your expectations.
Sairo Tohoten 	Haha, yeah.
Rei Yamada 	By the way, isn't that the head of the Party of Words over there?
Mikado Asuka 	You know her?
Rei Yamada 	Well you know, I'm something of a military myself.
Sairo Tohoten 	Haah. She's such a troublemaker... It's not like I expected a woman to be a proper head of the party anyway.
Rei Yamada 	Can I say hello?
Sairo Tohoten 	No, she should say it to you. Otome! Come here and greet the man!
Otome Tohoten 	Coming. My name is Otome Tohoten.
Rei Yamada 	Rei Yamada, military research department.
Otome Tohoten 	So you're with the army...? Thank you for your service and for helping my husband and father.
Rei Yamada 	Please. I hope we can keep working together.
Sairo Tohoten 	Well, Yamada-san, come with us.
Rei Yamada 	Sure. Actually, give me a moment! Otome-san.
Otome Tohoten 	What is it...?
Rei Yamada 	Your politics truly is something.
Otome Tohoten 	I appreciate it.
Rei Yamada 	But it's merely pretty words.
Otome Tohoten 	Yes. I know.
Rei Yamada 	If you want to reach your goals, you need power. What you're doing is only a provocation without any power to back it up. You must fight fire with fi-
Otome Tohoten 	I don't believe that violence is an appropriate option.
Rei Yamada 	Haah... I expected that kind of reply. But what if words didn't have that power, would you still be able to keep your ideology going?
Otome Tohoten 	Words? If we could settle things in discussion, we would bring back the proper humanity. Changing things with a brute force and army is wrong.
Rei Yamada 	I guess, you're not one to tolerate injustice.
Otome Tohoten 	Yes.
Rei Yamada 	Then you agree that your husband and father should be in jail, right?
Otome Tohoten 	...! How do you know?!
Rei Yamada 	Hahaha...
Otome Tohoten 	This is not what I want... but they would never listen to my words.
Rei Yamada 	Trust me, in the future, words will become more powerful than ever.
Otome Tohoten 	What?
Rei Yamada 	But for now, it's not possible. That's why...
Otome Tohoten 	This... My father and husband...
Rei Yamada 	Yes. If you make this information public, everyone will find out about their crimes.
Otome Tohoten 	...?
Rei Yamada 	To be honest, that's the true reason I came here, to speak with you and give you this.
Otome Tohoten 	But why...?!
Rei Yamada 	Who knows? I wonder why... If there wasn't anyone who I could give it to, I wouldn't do it.
Otome Tohoten 	...
Rei Yamada 	Whether you want to use it or not is up to you. Well, I have a feeling that this isn't our last meeting.
 	
 	That night, I looked over the information he gave me. If anyone saw it, my father would be involved in a massive controversy. But I didn't want Mikado-san to take the hit.
Otome Tohoten 	Mikado-san...
Mikado Asuka 	Otome-san... What happened? You look worried.
Otome Tohoten 	...
Mikado Asuka 	T-this...!
Otome Tohoten 	This will put an end to my father's business once and for all.
Mikado Asuka 	Where did you get it?
Otome Tohoten 	Please, turn yourself in...
Mikado Asuka 	What the hell are you talking about?
Otome Tohoten 	If they arrest my father, you will be charged as his accomplice... There is a big chance that you might end up in jail...
Mikado Asuka 	So you decided to turn against your own family?!
Otome Tohoten 	I... I can't let down my sense of justice...
Mikado Asuka 	Figures...
Otome Tohoten 	Do it for yourself... and for Dice...
Mikado Asuka 	For Dice...?
Otome Tohoten 	Our boy... For him... Please... You can't wash away your sins, the most you can do right now is to take responsibility.
Mikado Asuka 	You... You're right... I must stop it before it's too late for me.
Otome Tohoten 	I will never forget the time we spent together...
Mikado Asuka 	Thank you...
Otome Tohoten 	I...! I will do my best to change this world with my sense of justice...!
Mikado Asuka 	I see... I once told you that we'll be leading this country together. Sorry, I broke my promise.
 	
 	After that, I gave the information to the authorities and my father was arrested. Mikado turned himself in and was charged as well. Since then, Dice stopped being related to me in any way, so to protect him from possible danger, I sent him to my mother's relatives, the Arisugawa family.
 	So that's how it happened...
 	That is an old story.
 	Amayado... I have no idea about his intentions. Why did he give you that information?
 	Haah... Honestly, I feel like that was the moment I became a puppet in his hands.
 	...!
 	But the last laugh will be ours. We will play along but only until we get the chance we're waiting for. And that is the reality...
