Meanwhile... Cafe Lycoreco. 12:29AM.
Mika, Commander Kusunoki And Katsuki From SLT Were All In A Call Discussing The Arms Deal.
Mika: The Guns Disappeared?, How Many?.
Kusunoki: (Phone) According To Intel, Approximately 1,000.
Mika: Heh, Someone Gonna Start A War Or Something?.
Kusunoki: (Phone) It May Have Been False Information To Begin With, And With A Certain Agent From SLT Killing That Fleeing Mercenary Instead Of Capturing Him After Chasing Him Into A Command Post, You Said That There Wouldn't Be Any Unnecessary Conflict To Be Cleaned Up Katsuki.
Katsuki: (Phone) And You Said It'd Be A Clean Job, You Know How We Operate And Yet You Still Requested Us To Have An Agent On Standby, You Teach Lycoris To Create Order And Prevent Chaos, We Teach Them To Do The Opposite, You Know That, That Was Your Mistake.
No Response From Kusunoki Through The Phone, And Mika Broke The Ice.
Mika: But The Dealer Was There, Right?, Were You Able To Interrogate Him?
Kusunoki: (Phone) No, They All Died, It Was Machine Gun Fire, After All.
Scene Switch: DA Building, Kusunokis Office.
Kusunoki: I Will Contact You Again.
The Commander Hangs Up The Call As The Assistant Lady Hands Her A File.
Assistant: We Have I.D. On That Hacker.
Kusunoki: Walnut.
Assistant: A Veteran Way Back From The Dawn Of The Internet, A Famous Wizard On The Dark Web.
Investigation Report:
Target In Pursuit:
Name: Unknown.
Nickname: Walnut.
Kusunoki: "Scoff" Some Old Man?, Find Him And Kill Him, And The Location Of The Missing Guns To, Orders From The Higher-Ups Are To Keep The Hack A Secret For The Time Being.
Assistant: Then How Should I Word The Report For The Failed Mission?.
Kusunoki Hands A Paper To The Assistant And She Starts Reading It, Until Her Eyes Fall Upon A Certain Sentence. "Due To Grandstanding By The Lycoris In Charge Of The Site In Question".
Assistant: A Lycoris Is Grandstanding?, So That's Why Takina Was...
Kusunoki: It's All For Protecting The Organization Supposedly.
Scene Switch: The Trio Are Still Walking, Same Deal, Chisato And Takina Are Talking With Kurai Just Listening.
Chisato: Maybe That Arm's Deal Never Happen At All?.
Takina: Do You Think So?.
Child: Chisato!, Kurai!.
A Bunch Of Children Climb Onto The Fence And Start Chattering Up And A Woman In Her Late 40s Comes Out With A Gentle Smile Aimed At The Trio.
Woman: Welcome Girls.
And The Children Run Out To The Trio And Stop In Front Of Them, Chisato With Her Signature Smile, Takina With Her Stoic Face, And Kurai With A Soft Expression.
Chisato: This Is Your New Friend, Big Sis Takina.
Children: Big Sis Takina!.
Scene Switch: At A Language School, Kurai And Takina Are Looking Through The Window Of A Classroom While Chisato Is Talking To One Of The Staff.
Teacher: Exercise One!, "I Am Perplexed"!.
Students: "I Am Perplexed"!.
Chisato: We're From The Same School, So She Can Speak Any Language We Can Speak, Watch, "Turns To Takina" How's Your Russian?.
Takina: Nemnogo (A Little).
Scene Switch: Outside A Certain Building Entrance.
Man: Damn It, This Ain't A Place For Brats To Saunter Into!, Boss Has Got His Hands Full, Scram Before You Get Hurt.
Kurai: "Snorts" Wise One, Aren't You?.
And A Much Older And Taller Man Comes Up Behind And Picks The Obnoxious Young Man Up, Like A Little Pipsqueak.
Old Man: They're Guests.
Young Man: Seriously?.
Timeskip: It's A Yakuza Office, And The Trio Are Sitting On One Couch With The Old Man, Who Is The "Boss" Sitting At The Other, With Other Yakuza Soldiers Standing Around, Including The Young Guy, Now With A Bruise On Her Head.
Boss: He's New Here, Cut Him Some Slack, You Two.
Chisato Reaches In Her Pack And Pulls Out A Brown Paper Bag.
Chisato: Here's Your Order.
Boss: "Takes The Bag" Oh, There's A Lot In Here.
Chisato: Right?, The Quality Is High, To.
Boss: Smells Good.
Takina Looks Around Suspiciously And After A Few Seconds Suddenly Gets Up And Reaches For Gun, Only For Kurai To Grab Her Hand.
Takina: (Thoughts) How Did She Move..., That Fast?.
Chisato: Teach Said They're Freshly Ground.
The Boss Pinches Some Of The Coffee Grounds.
Boss: I See, Give My Regards To The Master, "Turns To Takina" And This Is?.
Chisato: Miss Takina, She's Our Partner Who Started Working For Us Today.
Kurai: Yes, Be Good To Her, "Smirks/Whisper" She's A "Wild Card"~.
Soldiers: Nice To Meet You, Miss Takina!.
Timeskip: Outside The Entrance.
Kurai: Did You Think It Was Some Of The "Hard" Stuff?.
Chisato Bends Over With Another "Cutesy" Look.
Chisato: You Did, Didn't You?.
Takina: I Did.
Chisato: Alright!.
Takina: I Was About To Shoot Them Dead.
Kurai: Ah, Ah, Ah, Nope, Leave The "Trick" Shooting To Me, Cutie~.
Takina: (Thoughts) Cutie?.
Chisato Suddenly Does A Backslap On Takina.
Chisato: We're Just Joking, They're Just Regular Customers Of Our Café, Okay, We're Gonna Change Gears Now And Head To The Police Station!.
Kurai: Hold It, We'll Arrive Too Early If We Go Now.
Chisato: Ha!, What's Got You Focused On Going Towards Law Enforcement After Your Recent "Adventure"?.
Kurai: I Don't Know, I'm Just The Type Of Person Who Can't Stop The Task At Hand.
Takina: Um..
The Duo Turns To Takina.
Takina: What Exactly Does This Division Do?.
Chisato: Huh?.
Timeskip: At A Park, The Trio Sitting On A Bench, Takina Sitting Straight, Kurai With Her Legs Crossed And Chisato Sipping On A Juice Drink.
Chisato: Sorry, I Thought Teach Had Already Told You, What Exactly Do We Do?, When Asked So Formally, It Makes Me Think.
Takina: A Preschool, A Language School, A Yakuza Office..., I Don't See What They Have In Common!.
Kurai: Exactly, They Have Nothing In Common, At Least To Our Standards.
Chisato Finishes Her Drink With A Smile.
Chisato: Our Job Is To Help Those Who Are In Trouble!.
Timeskip: After The Explanation.
Takina: Lycoris For Individuals.
Chisato: Yep, Delivering Coffee, Teaching Languages, And Helping Preschools All Make People Happy.
Takina: We Lycoris Are Official Secret Syndicate Agents Who Protect Our Country, Right?.
Kurai: Right And Wrong, Only Lycoris Under DA Are Official, SLTs Are Unofficial, We're Simply The Last Ones To Calls, We Aren't Really Under Anyone, You Could Consider Us A Secret "Off The Books" Unit.
Chisato: Oh!, When You Put It That Way, It Sounds Like A Movie, Kinda Awesome!, But..., They Also Call Us Hitmen, Who Execute Dangerous Criminals, Right?.
Kurai: You're Trying To Say We're Not?.
Takina: These Are Times When Things Like That Happen, They Need Us.
Chisato: Maybe, Maybe Your Right.
Takina: The New Radio Towers Construction Is Almost Done, So Why Do They Still Keep The Old One?.
Chisato: Maybe There's A New Meaning, Because It's Broken?.
Takina: Is Such A Thing Possible?.
Chisato: Well, Who Knows?, But I Really Love How It's So Nonsensical Like That.
Kurai: If Being Completely Blind To Danger Is The Standard To Greatness, No Wonder The Country's Screwed.
Takina: So That's Why Both Of Your Actions Are Nonsensical Aswell.
Kurai And Chisato Both Laugh At This Comment, But Takina Gets An Uneasy Feeling From Their Reactions For Some Reason.
Chisato: What A Comment, But In Any Case.
Chisato Gets Up From The Bench.
Chisato: There Are Tons Of People In Need, Even If The DA Isn't Interested In Them, And They're Asking For Help.
The Duo Turns To Takina With Chisato Holding Her Hand Out.
Chisato: So Please Takina, Can You Lend Us Your Strength?.
Takina Looks Away For A Second, Before Taking Chisatos Hand And Standing Up.
Chisato: Any Questions?.
Takina: To Many Come To Mind.
And As The Two Interact, Kurai Is In Her Own World Observing The Two.
Kurai: (Thoughts) Every Human Has Their Limit, And The Only Way To Find It, Is To Go Past It, Fighting Capitalism Is About Challenging The Boundaries Of Your Fear, Your Nerves, And Your Skill, It's About Putting Yourself In A Situation That Sole Purpose Is To Convert Blood, Into Adrenaline, And Once You've Done It, You Never Crave Anything Else.
