 	I see. So, Nemu-san...
 	Yes.
 	I suppose, if the mindhacking starts to wear off, we can use the True Hypnosis Mic again.
 	No, I don't think we will need to.
 	Why so?
 	She accepts our ideals. I'm sure it will benefit us in the future.
 	I trust your judgement, Ichijiku-san. Do what you think is right.
 	Thank you very much.
Party of Words Official	Excuse me.
 	What happened?
Party of Words Official	A message for Ichijiku-san.
 	What?
Party of Words Official	Captain of the Kotosarai special unit, Honobono Keitoin has been spotted at Nemu-san's office.
 	...! Got it, on my way.
 	
 	Haaahh... (What was that Tsumabira-san even thinking? Treating the Division representatives like this, while they're posing the biggest threat for us, huh.) I need to take a look at the new profiles.
 	Nemu-chan, how's it going~?
 	...! Honobono-san! Please, knock before you enter! And can you stop calling me that?
 	Oh, no need to be shy~!
 	I do not enjoy it.
 	Ehehe~ You're such a cutie, even when you're angry~
 	...
 	Oh, c'mon~ Onee-san didn't want to upset you. Hmmm... So these are four divisions who participated in the last battle, huh?
 	Didn't you know?
 	I wasn't here at the time and wasn't really interested, so no. Hmmm, they look lovely~ As for the champions, Shinjuku... Hm? Hifumi Izanami? Doppo Kannonzaka?
 	What's with them?
 	Ehe, no, nothing really~ (Ehehe~! Things are getting interesting...)
 	Anyway, do you have any business with me?
 	You better stop overworking yourself this much, it's not good for your health.
 	Even if something happens, that would mean I did everything I could.
 	That's the spirit! Let Onee-san praise you.
 	Gh... Tell me what you want and leave!
 	That situation that we got for ourselves recently... I dealt with it very properly.
 	I didn't receive a notice from the Special Prison about recent incarcerations.
 	Let's just say they were to my taste, so I took the initiative.
 	Honobono-san...
 	Any problems, Vice Chief?
 	...!
 	Nothing, huh? Because I already talked about it with Ichijiku-san and she gave me the permission to use my own methods.
 	But...
 	But what?
 	I do not approve your methods...
 	Aww, how cheeky you're, Nemu-chan~
 	...
 	...Alright then.
 	Is that all you wanted to talk about?
 	Yes.
 	You could've called me or sent an e-mail...
 	I just wanted to ask you something, so I decided to visit you~
 	What is it?
 	Nemu-chan, didn't you come to the Yokohama Division recently?
 	...Yes.
 	I heard you went there to deal with your brother, is this true?
 	No! It was just an arrest attempt.
 	And you failed?
 	...!
 	Ah! Then let me deal with it! Ehehe~ Samatoki's not a bad-looking guy, if I say so myself... if I get to play with him... it'd so much fun.
 	Please, stop...
 	You finally managed to use your position and see your brother again, I'm just worrying about you, Nemu-chan, you messed up so quickly!
 	I'm asking you, stop it...
 	If I was there, he wouldn't get away this easily.
 	Stop...
 	What? Did you say something?
 	I SAID STOP IT!!!
 	Wow! So you want to play?
 	Hah, don’t make me repeat over and overI’m eliminating the cause of worries through battleHow bad is your hearing that my words are incomprehensible?Now, I cut you down with my Hypnosis MicOpening my door at times as if it’s reasonableCommencing your doxxing mannerYou no longer have a part in this, despicableI absolutely won’t approve of you, never
 	Kh... Alright then, my turn!
 	My, quite full-blooded you areMy hearing is bad, yes so I can’t hear your barksChallenge accepted, nevertheless you’re a paper dollYour impudence is nothing but shortI’m a machine gun that rains attack in successionGoing all out, I’m practically a punisherBe your opponent? It’s right up my alleyMy, in that case this fight is quite unlikely
 	Argh...
 	Huh? Is that it?
 	Not yet...
 	What's going on here?!
 	Haah... Things just started to get fun...
 	Ichijiku-san...
 	Nemu-chan attacked me with her mic, so I had no other choice-
 	Shut it. Get out of here.
 	Fine, fine... Well, if you excuse me, Vice Chief~ Ehehehehe~
 	Hmph! ...Nemu!
 	I apologize.
 	No need to, I'm sure she provoked you, did she? I know how it goes.
 	Ichijiku-san...
 	Still, Nemu, you also let her take control over the situation.
 	...I sincerely apologize!
 	Don't try to reason with her. If she tries to pull anything again, let me know immediately.
 	I don't want to cause problems for you!
 	It's not a problem for me.
 	Thank you very much... Um... You know, I was curious...
 	What is it?
 	Why was Honobono-san put in charge of the Criminal Bureau in the first place? The way she treats you and Otome-san...
 	Her skills are useful to us.
 	Useful?
 	Yes. She is problematic, I do admit, but she does her job properly.
 	...
 	Say whatever you want, just keep your distance from her, unless it's something related to work.
 	Understood. By the way, did you want something?
 	Ah... You were working non-stop recently, weren't you? What about taking some time off together?
 	I'm grateful but we're in the middle of preparations for the next battle season. There's a lot of work and I'd rather finish with it as soon as possible.
 	I see. Just don't overwork yourself. If you burn out, recovering would be quite a chore.
 	Got it!
 	Ehe... Actually, let's take a day off and go for a lunch. I know a place with very good meat.
 	I would love to!
 	Good, we'll talk about it later.
 	Okay!
 	
 	Ichijiku-san!
 	What do you want?
 	Hehe! Ichijiku-san, you're so kind to our little Nemu-chan! I wonder why~
 	Hmph. It's nothing.
 	Ehehe~ Anyone would notice your special treatment towards her.
 	You're just imagining things.
 	...You probably noticed already but I have a soft spot for people... who have someone they cherish that much...
 	...!
 	So... If you keep buttering up Nemu-chan... I might want to break her~!
 	Don't you dare touch her. I will personally bury you alive.
 	Aha~ I like where this is going~ I mean, Nemu-chan is kinda similar to Natsume-chan, isn't she?
 	...! T-The hell are you talking about?!
 	Ahaha~ Your reaction told me enough. Ehehehehe~
 	Natsume...
 	
Koyo TV Staff 	And, we're live!
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Good evening, this is Ichijiku Kadenekoji. And today's top news, we received additional information about the corruption case related to the major tax evasion scheme which was tied to the party chairman.
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Alright, I'm off!
Koyo TV Producer 	Ah, Kadenokoji, wait.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Yeah, what is it?
Koyo TV Producer 	We need you for an interview.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Interview?
Koyo TV Producer 	Yeah, the Party of Words, some kinda extremists. Here's the details.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	The leader of the Party, Otome Tohoten...?
Koyo TV Producer 	She's making a lot of noise with that Party of hers. Talk with her. We're planning to release it on the next week.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Got it.
Koyo TV Producer 	Oh, by the way. That corruption case that you were working on recently... Drop it.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	But why?!
Koyo TV Producer 	...
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	They cornered you, right?
Koyo TV Producer 	Okay, listen~
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	With all due respect, if we keep it a secret because of the pressure, our country will keep degrading! I don't want to lie to them!
Koyo TV Producer 	Shut it! That's none of your business, woman!
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...
Koyo TV Producer 	This was an order, you understand?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	(What does it have to do with me being a woman?)
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	I'm home~
Natsume Kadenokoji 	Sis! Welcome back!
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Natsume, I'm back!
Natsume Kadenokoji 	I made dinner.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Thanks!
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	So anyway, I think they started pressuring him. He got mad and said "That's none of your business, woman!" But I'm not going to step back this easily!
Natsume Kadenokoji 	Hmm...
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	What?
Natsume Kadenokoji 	Isn't it dangerous?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Hm, I don't know. But as a media personality, I would feel terrible if I let it slide.
Natsume Kadenokoji 	I love this part of you, honestly, but please, if it gets dangerous, step back, okay?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Okay! If you say so.
 	
Karin Shimozaki 	Ichijiku, come here!
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Oh, Shimozaki-san, did you lose weight?
Karin Shimozaki 	Oh... well, I guess so.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	So, did you get it?
Karin Shimozaki 	Everything is on this USB.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Can I take a look?
Karin Shimozaki 	Sure.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	This is... amazing! If we publish it, it'll get to the party chairmen, maybe even to the Prime Minister! How did you get it?
Karin Shimozaki 	I'm a journalist not for show, you know.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Then why did you give it all to me?
Karin Shimozaki 	I'm dropping out of it.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	You what? But why?
Karin Shimozaki 	...I have a family. At this rate, they might get into danger.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Something happened?
Karin Shimozaki 	I got a letter with threats.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Threats?!
Karin Shimozaki 	Threatening me is one thing, but my family...
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	You think they would take it this far?
Karin Shimozaki 	...I did my part. You better watch your back too, Ichijiku.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	This case goes even deeper than I expected... Oh, the time! I better hurry for the interview!
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Excuse me.
Otome Tohoten 	You may enter.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	You mind if we put the camera here?
Otome Tohoten 	Of course, not.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Pleasure to meet you, I'm Ichijiku Kadenokoji, Koyo TV.
Otome Tohoten 	Likewise. Otome Tohoten. Please, take a seat.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Alright. Sorry for the rush but let's begin. Looking forward to working with you.
Otome Tohoten 	Ask whatever you want.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Some would say that the Party of Words' political message can be considered extremist.
Otome Tohoten 	Extremist, huh… I wouldn't be so sure. I'm simply doing what I think is right.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	So you believe that men should be driven off the government and women should get the power instead?
Otome Tohoten 	Exactly.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Tell me, why men should be driven off?
Otome Tohoten 	Men are naturally violent. We can't let these barbarians do what they want with our country.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	I think the same issues can be applied to the women's politics as well.
Otome Tohoten 	You might be right but these issues are much more frequent with men. On top of that, they're dominating the political scene. They have no problem with taking bribes and push around whoever they want for their own benifit, absorbing this disgusting darkness. It happens everywhere, not only in politics. I'm certain you've experienced what I'm talking about, right?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...?!
Otome Tohoten 	You're a woman, I know the same happened to you as well…
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...
Otome Tohoten 	Hence, this country needs a hard reset as soon as possible. Otherwise, the violence will never stop and this stigma will never disappear.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...
Otome Tohoten 	If women can stop it, we must try and uplift this country.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	I see… Okay. Thank you for your time.
Otome Tohoten 	Please, thanks to you. Ah, Kadenokoji-san.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	What is it?
Otome Tohoten 	When the time comes... you will understand what I meant.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...Goodbye.
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Otome Tohoten, leader of the Party of Words... I'm not sure about her views but her power of persuassion...
TV Reporter 	In other news, Today, at 18:07, the bodies of Karin Shimozaki and her family were found in the Kyoto water channel.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	What...?
TV Reporter 	The police are on the investigation to find the culprit.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Shimozaki-san...
Karin Shimozaki 	...I have a family. At this rate, they might get into danger.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...?! ...Natsume!
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Natsume! Are you here?! Natsume...! She's... not here... An unknown number... Hello...?
Secretary 	Good evening, I'm the personal secretary of the politician you were digging into.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...?!
Secretary 	I suppose, your little sister is gone?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Where's Natsume? Is she okay?!
Secretary 	Yeah... for now.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	What do you...
Secretary 	I'll give you the address, you'll come with all the information you got from Shimozaki. If you won't... well, you know where this is going, right?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...Got it.
Secretary 	Now listen...
 	
Secretary 	That was faster than I expected, not gonna lie.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Where's Natsume?!
Secretary 	First, the info.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...
Secretary 	Thank you for your cooperation. ...Yeah, that's the stuff.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Where's Natsume?!
Secretary 	She's sleeping in that room.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...! Natsume! Natsume! Natsume! ...Natsume?! ...NATSUME!!!
Secretary 	I did say she's sleeping. But I didn't say that she'll ever wake up! Hahaha!
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	NO!!! WAKE UP!!!
Secretary 	Oh, quit crying already, I'll organize you two a meeting.
Otome Tohoten 	This is why I can't stand men.
Otome Tohoten 	
Secretary 	AARRGHHH! What the- What was that?!
Otome Tohoten 	Kadenokoji-san.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	T-Tohoten-san... What are you doing here...?
Otome Tohoten 	I was keeping an eye on the politician behind all of this...
Secretary 	Who the fuck are you?!
Otome Tohoten 	I'm not going to waste my breath on the likes of you.
Secretary 	You bitch... Don't you dare look down on me!
Otome Tohoten 	Heh...
Otome Tohoten 	
Secretary 	AARRGHHH!
 	
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...N-Natsume...
Otome Tohoten 	Who is this child?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	My little sister...
Otome Tohoten 	...
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Natsume... she was the only family I had... And I... I killed her... Natsume...
Otome Tohoten 	I'm so sorry... If only I was faster... Ichijiku-san, do you remember what we were talking about?
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...Huh? ...T-Talking...?
Otome Tohoten 	"Men are naturally violent."
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...
Otome Tohoten 	That's why we must take power in our hands and set them straight. And this can help us achieve it.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	What is it?
Otome Tohoten 	The Hypnosis Mic.
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	Hypnosis... Mic...?
Otome Tohoten 	This microphone can be used in the battle using the power of words. Come with me and we will make sure that the same will never happen again...
Ichijiku Kadenokoji 	...Okay. (Natsume... I'll change this world!)
 	
 	Natsume...
 	Hm? Something's wrong, Ichijiku-san? You seem a bit lost...
 	O-oh... No, nothing.
 	...?
 	(Natsume... Big sis still has a lot to do.)
