## Synopsis

With the Mythological Research Club carrying an important piece of evidence, Kirisana and Waichiro decided to listen in...

## Transcript

[Road, Yahata City]

(Jungo and Kimiko silently watches the city lights as their driver drives towards a certain location)

**Jungo** : ...The city always has such magnificent splendor to it. Don't you think so?

**Kimiko** : ...

**Jungo** : You've been very quiet recently. Are you worried about our son?

**Kimiko** : ...No.

**Jungo** : Hm...then that's for the better.

\*bzzzt bzzzt\*

(Jungo's phone rings)

**Jungo** : Excuse me for a moment.

(Jungo picks up the phone)

**Jungo** : Yes?

**???** : It's me.

**Jungo** : ...!

**Jungo** : Good evening, Sir. What do you require?

**Kimiko** : ...

(Kimiko looks at Jungo)

**???** : I'm expecting the next batch to arrive. When will it be arriving?

**Jungo** : Today midnight is fine, if you'd like.

**???** : Wonderful. I find straightforward people amusing.

**Jungo** : ...Pleasure doing business with you.

**???** : No, no. Thank YOU, your efforts will not go unrewarded.

**Jungo** : ...I am merely doing what I think is right.

**???** : Those are the basis of doing business, after all.

**Jungo** : Indeed.

**???** : However...

**Jungo** : ...?

**???** : I've been recently receiving reports that several of our bases have been attacked and our members attacked.

**???** : You...wouldn't happen to know anything, did you?

**Jungo** : No, Sir. But I will found out what I can.

**???** : Sounds like you're not lying. Very well, then.

**???** : However, a mere warning for you.

**???** : If you are to sell us out in the future, then our contract is done.

**Jungo** : I will not betray our oath, Sir. You have my word for that.

**???** : Hmph. Then godspeed...*Nitimur in vetitum.*

**Jungo** : "*Nitimur in vetitum."*

(The mysterious person hangs up)

**Jungo** : ...

**Kimiko** : ...

(The car turns back and moves to YamiTsume High)

[Student Council Office, Nighttime]

**Kirisana** : By the way, how did you know we would be here Katayama?

**Waichiro** : True.

**Tamaki** : Oh, well...

**Tamaki** : Hanami told me the two of you'd be here.

**Kirisana & Waichiro** : ...!

**Kirisana** : Hanami? But how...?

**Waichiro** : ...Interesting, so she knows what we're doing. Even when she's not around...

**Waichiro** : Could she be an esper?

**Kirisana** : Ridiculous.

**Waichiro** : True enough.

**Tamaki** : Anyways, here are the files. Please, look into it.

(Tamaki puts the files at the table)

**Waichiro** : ...

(Waichiro takes out the files)

**Waichiro** : Th-This is...!

(Waichiro and Kirisana both took out the files)

**Waichiro** : These...

**Kirisana** : These are mostly confidential things!

**Kirisana** : How did Hanami even get this sort of thing?!

**Tamaki** : Hm...I have no clue.

**Kirisana** : Government-related materials, birthplace, real name, everything...It's all here!

**Waichiro** : ...?

(Waichiro looks at a picture)

**Waichiro** : This is...

**Waichiro** : Guys, have a look at this.

(Everyone looks at the photo)

(The photo is a photo of Jungo Teruya and Kimiko Teruya, below has words written as : "A copy of the Teruya Family Photo. Taken in 2017")

**Tamaki** : So this is Teruya-kun's parents.

**Gamon** : Wait a sec. If this is taken in 2017, shouldn't Teruya be there?

**Hideaki** : ...

**Jin** : ...

**Kirisana** : ...Could he be...adopted?

**Waichiro** : That's strange.

**Kirisana** : Hm?

**Waichiro** : Teruya told me he has a big brother, but he ran away from home.

**Tamaki** : A big brother.

(Hideaki flips through some papers)

**Hideaki** : Wait, I don't think he's adopted.

**Kirisana** : Why do you think so?

**Hideaki** : ...Look.

(Hideaki shows a paper to everyone)

**Hideaki** : Isn't this...

**Hideaki** : Teruya's birth certificate?

**Everyone** : ...!

**Kirisana** : What?! No way, it has to be fake!

(Kirisana takes the certificate)

**Kirisana** : Wait.

**Kirisana** : ...

**Kirisana** : This certificate...is real.

**Waichiro** : What?!

**Tamaki** : So, if the certificate is here...

**Jin** : T-That means...

**Hideaki** : ...I-I'm sure they just lost it, right?

**Hideaki** : N-No way can parents be that irresponsible, r-right?

**Waichiro** : ...

**Gamon** : ...Tch.

**Kirisana** : ...

(Kirisana slams the table, while gritting her teeth)

**Hideaki** : Senpai...

**Kirisana** : Goddamn monsters.

(Kirisana puts the certificate on the table)

**Kirisana** : Read the words on the bottom line.

**Tamaki** : ...

**Gamon** : W-What?!

(Text on the bottom line : "Certificate found in a garbage can of a 5-star hotel in Yahata City, 2015")

**Kirisana** : The letter didn't fall into the trash can by mistake. It was crumpled on purpose. They intended for this to happen.

**Everyone** : ...!

(Everyone goes quiet)

(Hideaki kicks a chair angrily)

**Hideaki** : Those jerks!

**Jin** : What do we do? Without actual proof, we still can't do anything to solve this issue.

**Kirisana** : Exactly. Mere records of a thrown away birth certificate won't help anything.

**Kirisana** : If anything, we'll likely end up being accused of stealing it.

**Tamaki** : \*sigh\* So all we can do is lay low for now?

**Waichiro** : ...

**Kirisana** : We can't just recklessly knock on their door, either.

**Hideaki** : Damn! I hate not being able to do anything! Teruya's in danger here!

**Waichiro** : ...Not to mention, we have another problem to face.

**Hideaki** : And what's that?

**Waichiro** : Teruya's misguided love to his parents.

**Hideaki** : ...!

**Waichiro** : The reason his brother ran away from home...

**Waichiro** : ...is because he couldn't accomplish the expectations set by his parents on him.

**Waichiro** : They must have somehow manipulated Teruya into believing that he has to take on the expectations his brother gave him, no matter what.

**Waichiro** : Teruya is a kind boy. He would do anything as long as it makes people happy.

**Gamon** : And to think they could just manipulate his kindness like that...

**Hideaki** : Argh!! Damn it all!

**Kirisana** : I understand your rage, Sakurai-kun. But, I'm afraid we can't do anything to change the situation.

**Waichiro** : As planned, we will not speak of this issue to anyone.

**Kirisana** : I will do my best to help. Teruya is also my junior, after all.

**Kirisana** : Besides, I am the school's Enforcer. I must do my best to rid this school and its students from trouble!

**Jin** : Spoken like a true Enforcer, Ichinohe-senpai. Thank you for your aid.

**Kirisana** : Alright. Then I'll go ahead first, see you tomorrow.

**Gamon** : Senpai, it's not safe out there at night. We should go-

(Kirisana packs her things and leaves)

**Hideaki** : Aaaaaaand there she goes.

**Waichiro** : ...

**Tamaki** : We should go home as well.

**Hideaki** : Yeah, let's go.

**Waichiro** : Wait.

**Tamaki** : Yes, Vice President?

**Waichiro** : Can I join you on your way back?

**Hideaki** : Sure, Chief!

**Jin** : Hey, don't call him with random names.

**Waichiro** : True...

**Waichiro** : Call me "Vice Chief" instead!

**Hideaki** : ...

**Jin** : ...

(Hideaki and Waichiro shakes hand)

**Hideaki & Waichiro** : MY BROTHER!!!

**Gamon** : Never thought you and the Vice President has a lot in common.

**Jin** : \*whispers\* Does it include Sakurai's stupidity?

**Gamon** : \*whispers\* Just don't say it out loud...

**Tamaki** : Guys, let's hurry after Ichinohe-senpai.

**Waichiro** : Yes, let's!

[Road, Yahata City]

(Kirisana is seen walking alone)

**Kirisana** : ...

(Kirisana seems to be thinking of something)

**???** : Hello.

**Kirisana** : ...?

(Kirisana turns to see two punks calling her)

**Kirisana** : What do you want?

**Punk #1** : Oh, today is a good day. But, we're just soooooooo lonely.

**Punk #2** : Need us to guide you home, sweety? Hehehehehehehe~

**Kirisana** : Get out of my wa-

(One of them brandishes a knife)

**Kirisana** : ...!

**Punk #1** : Say what? Couldn't hear you~

**Punk #2** : Better listen to what we say, or your face is gonna end up slashed.

**Kirisana** : ...

(Kirisana kicks the punk holding the knife in the crotch, causing him to scream in pain)

**Kirisana** : Don't underestimate me, you sacks of trash.

**Punk #2** : Ah, you little-

(Just then, Waichiro runs to the punk and slams his face with a nearby wood on the road)

**Kirisana** : ...Vice President!

**Punk #2** : AGYAAAA!!!

**Waichiro** : Ichinohe, call the police.

**Punk #1** : Ggh....

(The punk charges at Waichiro from behind with a knife)

**Kirisana** : Vice President!

(Just then, Jin's leg appears)

**Punk #1** : Ugh!

(The knife falls out from his hands, and the knife falls to the punk's cheeks)

**Punk #1** : AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!

(Then, Gamon and Hideaki punches the punk simultaneously, knocking him out)

(From the back, Tamaki claps)

**Tamaki** : Good job, gang!

**Kirisana** : ...Thank you for your assistance, all of you.

**Waichiro** : Come along. We'll walk you home.

**Kirisana** : ...

(Kirisana smiles a bit)

**Kirisana** : Okay.
