### Ripened Miscalculations

**Inside a high-rise building at Fourteenth Street in the Janus Quarter, New Eridu...**
**Head of Public Security:** Ahem. Umm, yes... Citizens, I'm the head of Public Security currently conducting a pursuit operation on Fourteenth Street.
**Head of Public Security:** I regret to inform everyone our operation has been disrupted due to the appearance of a Hollow.
**Head of Public Security:** I-I'd like to remind the public we are in pursuit of those responsible for the terrorist attack on the research institute — the Red Fang Gang.
**Head of Public Security:** These are dangerous men, uh, I mean criminals. Particularly their leader, Miguel Silver. Everyone should remain vigilant!
**Reporter:** I'm [bleep]-ing [bleep]ed! I'm this station's reporter! I can't listen to it any more! These criminals need to get [beep]ed!
**Reporter:** You criminals are about to get [bleep]ed! As soon as we find them we should just [bleep]-ing [bleep] them all!
**Reporter:** E-Excuse me mister reporter, I'm still giving a briefing on the case...
**Reporter:** I don't give a [bleep]!! Listen here you Red Fang Gang [bleep]s!
**Reporter:** Don't think the Hollow can protect you! The Public Security's air force are on the way. You're [bleep]ed!
**Billy:** There's a window! Boss, we can get out this way!
**Nicole:** But that's a Hollow below... Forget it, a way out is a way out. Can you break the glass Billy?
**Billy:** Easy! Leave it to me!
**Nicole:** Uh—
**Billy:** Ah...
**Anby:** It bounced off. This glass must be tough.
**Nicole:** Darn it, I knew it wouldn't be that easy. This window is—
**Miguel:** —tempered bulletproof glass. You won't be able to break it.
**Miguel:** The odd-job agency, the "Cunning Hares"...
**Miguel:** Why... why would you steal from the Red Fang Gang?
**Miguel:** My men went through so much trouble to... Ughh.
**Nicole:** Don't make it sound like we're the bad guys! You stole this from the institute! We're just returning it to its rightful owner!
**Miguel:** Wahhh...! We're all trying to get by on the same streets. Why are you selling us out to the cops?
**Nicole:** Sorry, but my client isn't the Security Bureau, though it's nothing to do with you.
**Miguel:** Of course it is. They had people steal from my territory. I have to teach them a lesson!!
**Miguel:** Wahh... Can you not just give it back to me? It's so important—
**Miguel:** —to the Red Fang Gang that I'm willing to exchange it for your lives.
**Nicole:** The whole gang is armed and ready to deal with three people? Those are the "Silver Tears"? It's even weirder than the rumors...
**Nicole:** Wait! Is that a flashbang?
**Anby:** Yes... It's a GS II high-lumen military flashbang. The blast is quite strong.
**Nicole:** Awesome! Time to wake up, Billy!
**Red Fang Gang subordinate:** What?!
**Billy:** Eyes open everyone!
**Billy:** CHEESE!
**Red Fang Gang subordinates:** Wahhhh! My eyes!
**Miguel:** Ahh, so you choose to resist! Wahhh...
**Miguel:** In that case I have no choice but to—
**Miguel:** —KILL YOU ALL!
**Nicole:** Hahaha, you've made a mistake mister, we aren't your enemy.
**Nicole:** That is~
**Air Force:** "Falcon 4 to Commander. We've arrived at the source of the light and have found the Red Fang Gang. Awaiting orders..."
**Red Fang Gang subordinate:** I-It's the air force!
**Miguel:** That flashbang was to attract the helicopter?!
**Nicole:** You finally noticed? Now it's your turn to choose~
**Nicole:** You can stay and fight us and then get caught by Public Security, or you can run, and we all get to live.
**Miguel:** Damn you, Cunning Hares!!
**Nicole:** It's in a hare's nature to avoid getting caught. Don't hold it against me~
**Reporter:** "What? You've found the Red Fang Gang [bleep]ers?"
**Reporter:** "Then what are you [bleep]ing waiting for Commander?!"
**Reporter:** "Pick the biggest gun and rain down JUSTICE!!!"
**Air Force:** "Falcon 4, attack order confirmed."
**Nicole:** It's over...
**All:** Ah!
**Billy:** I want to file a complaint!
