## Transcript

[Sumeragi Family's Limousine]

**Hidetaka** : "Rabbit"!

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Jinya** : We thank you for helping us out, Sumeragi.

(Tsukasa sits at the corner of the limo, with his underlings next to him)

(Tsukasa then waves his hand, to which his underlings starts to speak)

**Seigi** : Ah, the sign is here.

**Aku** : Tsukasa-sama appreciates the gesture, Zenkouji-dono.

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Jinya** : Seigi and Aku...

**Oyamada** : Now that I think about it, I've never seen Sumeragi speak before.

**Seigi** : Correct.

**Aku** : Because Tsukasa-sama doesn't really need to, for we are here to be his mouthpiece.

**Tsukasa** : ...

(Tsukasa quietly nods)

**Hidetaka** : By the way, are your names really "Seigi" and "Aku"? Seems kinda dumb, if you ask me.

**Tsukasa** : ...

(Tsukasa angrily glares at Hidetaka)

**Hidetaka** : What?

**Aku** : Incorrect. We were given those names by Tsukasa-sama himself.

**Seigi** : We had our real names, but it's best forgotten.

**Seigi** : I represent those words that ring true, in other words, his "voice of approval".

**Aku** : And I represent his "voice of discontent", meaning I speak words that he does not approve.

**Hidetaka** : ...Huh, whatever makes you think I care about any of that?

**Aku** : Incorrect.

**Hidetaka** : Hah?

**Aku** : You only say that because you've never made any attempt to communicate with Tsukasa-sama.

**Jinya** : Well, that's true.

**Hidetaka** : JINYA!

**Oyamada** : I won't deny that.

**Hidetaka** : Oyamada! You too!?

**Seigi** : For the leader of a united gang to refuse any sort of communication is indeed a bad form of authority.

**Seigi** : Because of that, the gang is as messy as it is now...thanks to you.

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : ...Didn't you receive the message?

**Tsukasa** : ...?

**Jinya** : Boss.

**Hidetaka** : Starting on today, I'm not the gang's leader anymore.

**Seigi** : ...

**Aku** : ...

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Hidetaka** : What's with the silent treatment?

**Aku** : Incorrect.

**Hidetaka** : ...?!

**Hidetaka** : What the fuck do you mean by "incorrect"?! It's from that Old Bastard's orders himself!

**Hidetaka** : You're saying you want to ignore his orders?! Well, I maybe can but if it's you-

**Aku** : Oh, that is most definitely not my words.

**Aku** : I did tell you, my words represent Tsukasa-sama's words.

**Hidetaka** : ...!

**Jinya** : So...you mean...

**Seigi** : Correct.

**Seigi** : The Sumeragi Family will continue to assist you, despite you no longer leading the gang.

**Hidetaka** : ...!

**Jinya** : But...why would you do that?

**Tsukasa** : Because this is all a plan to take you down.

**Seigi** : ...?!

**Aku** : ...?!

**Hidetaka** : Wha-

**Jinya** : H-He...spoke...

**Oyamada** : ...

**Seigi** : Tsukasa-sama!

**Tsukasa** : It's alright.

**Tsukasa** : I figure it's time I start speaking, anyway.

**Tsukasa** : Besides...Dojima wouldn't believe us if the two of you are the ones who continue to explain the plan.

**Jinya** : The plan...

**Jinya** : ...!

**Jinya** : Wait, are you talking about...!?

**Tsukasa** : Hm.

**Tsukasa** : Ryuuga planned to overthrow you as the leader of the gang, and he plans to rule over the 12 Zodiac Gangs instead.

**Hidetaka** : ...!

**Oyamada** : Ryuuga!?

**Jinya** : Considering this is unknown to even us...

**Jinya** : Are you saying he himself convinced you to betray Boss?

**Tsukasa** : It's not just Ryuuga.

**Tsukasa** : Tiger, Rat and Ox have already agreed to the idea.

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : THOSE BACKSTABBING SONS OF BITCHES!

**Jinya** : What of the others?

**Tsukasa** : We haven't had any idea about the rest, but I heard that Snake refused.

**Jinya** : Snake...Sannosuke Yui...

**Oyamada** : Then, why have you refused?

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Tsukasa** : Naturally, it's because Hidetaka left us alone.

**Hidetaka** : ...!

**Oyamada** : What di you mean by that?

**Tsukasa** : Compared to the other gangs, we of the Sumeragi Gang dislike being ordered around.

**Seigi** : Correct.

**Tsukasa** : The fact that Dojima ignored us makes all our activities pretty much easier.

**Hidetaka** : Well, that's because your gang never had anything to report to begin with.

**Tsukasa** : It was not us who didn't have anything to report, you barely cared that we have to stop giving you those reports.

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Jinya** : Way to go, Boss.

**Hidetaka** : Shut it.

Tsukasa : The fact that you chose to ignore our "vacant" activities makes you and the other gangs think that we have but a small number to our name.

**Hidetaka** : ...Considering Ryuuga's gang has about two hundred men in their gang, how many does the Sumeragi have?

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Tsukasa** : Five hundred.

**Hidetaka** : ...!!

**Jinya** : ...!

**Oyamada** : Wha-!

(Hidetaka stands up in shock, bumps his head on the ceiling, and sits down again)

**Tsukasa** : Hehe. Surprised?

**Hidetaka** : Where the FUCK do you even get this many?

**Tsukasa** : I told you, since you allowed us free reins of activity, we were able to recruit people across Koto to our cause.

**Tsukasa** : I did say that we have a mere fifty members to our name-

**Hidetaka** : No, you didn't say anything back then.

**Tsukasa** : True.

**Tsukasa** : But the fact that we have ten times the number means that we have a chance to turn this around.

**Hidetaka** : And you're saying you want to stay loyal?

**Seigi** : Precisely.

**Hidetaka** : ...

(Hidetaka sits back)

**Hidetaka** : No.

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Seigi** : ...

**Aku** : ...

**Hidetaka** : We don't need your help. The three of us will fight this through ourselves.

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Tsukasa** : Very well, then. Then I'll give you a warning instead.

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Tsukasa** : Ryuuga is prepared for you. When the time comes, he will go full force to wipe you out.

**Hidetaka** : ...So what?

**Hidetaka** : The fact that he's going to attack us from behind means that we're gonna be cornered eventually, as well!

**Oyamada** : As the Boss said, we will charge in and crush any opposition should they come to us.

**Jinya** : You should be aware by now, Sumeragi.

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Jinya** : But Boss isn't the type to ask for help to someone else that easily.

**Tsukasa** : ...

**Tsukasa** : Fair point. He is an idiot to the core.

**Hidetaka** : Oi.

**Tsukasa** : That aside...

**Tsukasa** : Where will your destination be?

**Hidetaka** : ...Of course.

**Hidetaka** : We're going to the Danzaki Family estate!

**Tsukasa** : Danzaki Family...

**Jinya** : Do you perhaps know anything about the Danzaki Family? I only heard rumors but, they could be trouble...

**Seigi** : I'm sorry to disappoint, but all the rumors about the Danzaki Family are true.

**Jinya** : \*sigh\* Figures...

**Hidetaka** : What rumors?

**Seigi** : The Danzaki Family are one of the worst families in the Dojima-kai.

**Hidetaka** : My old man is still worse by a huge margin, but sure.

**Oyamada** : What did they do?

**Seigi** : To put is it simply...

**Tsukasa** : They are known for their "depravity".

**Seigi** : Indeed.

**Oyamada** : "Depravity"...

**Hidetaka** : ...

[Later...]

**Seigi** : We're here. Walk forward, and then turn left after about two blocks. Then you should be there.

**Jinya** : Thank you for assisting us in our escape, Sumeragi-san.

(Tsukasa swings his hand)

**Seigi** : "Don't worry about it".

**Hidetaka** : Alright, see you idiots soon.

**Oyamada** : Thank you again.

**Tsukasa** : Dojima.

**Hidetaka** : What?

**Tsukasa** : I'll be watching your battles ahead, until then the Sumeragi Gang will stand neutral.

**Hidetaka** : ...I'm not gonna say thanks.

**Jinya** : Thank you, Tsukasa-san.

**Tsukasa** : ...One more thing.

**Jinya** : ...?

**Hidetaka** : What is it?

**Tsukasa** : I'd suggest you find "Dog". I hear he visited this place quite a number of times.

**Hidetaka** : "Dog"? Why would we find that sex maniac?

**Tsukasa :** Because that sex maniac refused to join Ryuuga's group.

**Jinya** : He refused?

**Oyamada** : Why?

**Tsukasa** : You should ask him that yourself.

**Tsukasa** : Until then, goodluck to you.

**Hidetaka** : Hmph.

**Seigi** : Farewell.

(Seigi enters the car and they leave)

**Hidetaka** : Let's go.

**Jinya** : Alright.

**Oyamada** : ...

[In front of the Danzaki Residence]

**Hidetaka** : Hey!

**Danzaki Residence Guard** : Hm? You're...

**Hidetaka** : I'm Hidetaka Dojima, I've come here to meet Danzaki!

**Danzaki Residence Guard** : ...

**Danzaki Residence Guard** : He's been expecting you, please come in.

(The door to the residence opens)

**Hidetaka** : ...

[Sumeragi's Limousine]

**Seigi** : Tsukasa-sama...

**Tsukasa** : They'll be okay, probably.

**Aku** : But isn't the Danzaki Family...

**Aku** : ...the one in charge of "entertainment"?

**Tsukasa** : Exactly.

(Hidetaka, Jinya and Oyamada was led into the guest room, where they are shocked by what they are seeing)

**Hidetaka** : Wha-What the?!

**Jinya** : ...

**Oyamada** : ...

(In the main building, the three sees so many scantily clad women roaming around the building)

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Scantily-Clad Woman #1** : Oh...? Is that Master Dojima?

**Scantily-Clad Woman #2** : And Master Zenkouji and Master Fujiki, as well.

(The women sorrounds Hidetaka and gang)

**Scantily-Clad Woman #3** : Where are you going, Master? Why don't you come with us?

**Hidetaka** : ...

(Hidetaka slaps the woman's hand away)

**Hidetaka** : Go away. I need to see your boss.

**Scantily-Clad Woman #4** : ...

**Scantily-Clad Woman #3** : Aww, you're no fun.

(The women disperse, and then one woman walks out)

**Attractive Woman** : My, if it isn't the Young Master.

**Hidetaka** : Show me where the Boss is.

**Attractive Woman** : Hehe, very well. Come with me.

(The woman walks in front with Hidetaka, Jinya and Oyamada following her)

[Room of Pleasures, Danzaki Residence]

(The woman kicks the door open)

**Attractive Woman** : Aogashi!

(The man inside is seen panicking, trying to button his shirt and pulling up his pants while telling several women to leave)

**???** : Ah!!! Ergh, just as it was going good, too...

**Jinya** : ...

**Oyamada** : Zenkouji.

**Jinya** : Don't.

**Oyamada** : ...

**Attractive Woman** : The Young Master is here.

**Hidetaka** : ...Are you Aogashi Danzaki ?

**Aogashi Danzaki** : Why, yes...It is I.

**(Aogashi Danzaki, Patriarch of the Danzaki Family)**

**Aogashi** : Young Master! I didn't think you'd be here so soon!

**Hidetaka** : Cut the crap.

**Aogashi** : ...

**Aogashi** : Anyways, uh...Boss sent you three to live here, eh?

**Aogashi** : Not exactly the best choice, but sure thing.

(Aogashi still tries to button his pants, but he falls to the floor)

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Jinya** : ...

**Attractive Woman** : You're embarassing yourself, you know that?

**Aogashi** : Ah, shut it!

**Aogashi** : Oh, we prepared a room for you three already.

**Hidetaka** : Cool, where is it?

**Aogashi** : On the third floor to the side building. It's gonna take quite a while to get there, but you'll make it.

**Hidetaka** : ...Fine. Let's leave, this stench pisses me off.

**Aogashi** : Tsumiko, you get them there.

**Tsumiko** : Tch, fine. Come with me, Young Master.

(Hidetaka, Jinya and Oyamada leaves)

[3rd Floor of Side Building, Danzaki Residence]

(Tsumiko guides Hidetaka and the others to the front of their rooms)

**Hidetaka** : ...Ah, at least it doesn't stink like crap here.

**Tsumiko** : Of course not, this building was meant for guests anyways.

**Jinya** : Thank you for helping us here, Tsumiko-san.

**Tsumiko** : Hm, no biggie.

**Oyamada** : (No biggie?)

**Tsumiko** : Anyways, I'm going to go back to the main building. Or else Aogashi is gonna get pissed again, see ya.

(Tsumiko leaves Hidetaka and the others)

**Jinya** : Alright, let's enter the room.

(The three enter their rooms...)

(...to see a complete wreck of a room, infested with rats and all)

**Hidetaka/Jinya/Oyamada** : Wha-?!

(Hidetaka, Jinya and Oyamada looks at each other)

**Hidetaka** : ...

**Hidetaka** : (Oh, for fuck's sake...)

[Main Room, Danzaki Residence]

(Aogashi seems to be in a call)

**Aogashi** : Is this really necessary, Boss?

**Hayajiro** : ...

**Aogashi** : ...I'm sorry for asking, but what is the point of sending them here?

**Hayajiro** : Do with them as you will.

**Aogashi** : ...

**Hayajiro** : Make sure to give them work, as much as possible.

**Hayajiro** : Especially...

(Hidetaka, Jinya and Oyamada is seen trying to clean their rooms)

**Hayajiro** : That worthless son of mine.

**Hidetaka** : DAMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Jinya** : Fujiki, let's take the pail and mop from there.

**Oyamada** : Okay.

(Oyamada grabs the pail and...)

\*C R A C K\*

(...the handle falls to the floor)

**Oyamada** : ...

**Jinya** : ...Then, the mop.

(Jinya grabs the mop, but the mop's head is nowhere to be seen)

**Jinya** : ...

**Hidetaka** : Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

(Hidetaka angrily throws the pile of mess into the trash)

**Hidetaka** : THAT AOGASHI BASTARD!!!

(Hidetaka runs to find Aogashi)

**Jinya** : Boss, wait!

**Oyamada** : At this rate, let's just go with him.

**Jinya** : ...Right.
