Flashback: Back At The Arms Deal, Fuki, Hibana And Takina Are Crouching Behind The Short Wall While The Arms Dealers Are Holding Erika At Gunpoint.
Fuki: Headquarters?, Headquarters!?. And After A Bit More Static, The Comms Line Completely Goes Dead.
Fuki: It Disconnected.
Hibana: Why?.
Fuki: Like I'd Know.
Arms Dealer: Come Outta There!, Or I'll Kill This One!. And Takina Peeks Out With An MG, Cocking It And Aiming At The Dealers.
Fuki: Takina!. Takina Mows Down All Of The Dealers With The MG, And Fuki Glares At Her.
Fuki: Were You Planning On Killing Erika?. And Fuki Punches Takina In The Face.
Present Day: Four Days Later..., 7:24AM. June 6th, 2025. Takina Is Currently In The Bathroom Of LycoReco Washing Her Face, Before She Begins To Look At Her Cheek Where The Wound Used To Be From Fuki Punching Her.
Chisato: (Through Door) Takina!, We're Gonna Open Shop!.
Takina: Okay!, I'll Be Right There!.
Timeskip: Several Hours Later..., 8:11PM. Kurumi Is Sat Inside The Closet On Her Computer As Usual, Before The Door Opens To Reveal Mizuki.
Mizuki: Oh Man, What A Mess You've Made.
Kurumi: What's Up?.
Mizuki: That Photo From Before, See?. Mizuki Shows The Photo Of The Arms Deal To Kurumi On A Tablet.
Mizuki: I Sent You A Copy, Too.
Kurumi: Oh, This One.
Mizuki: I Had DA Intelligence Division Analyze This, Even If We Can't Make Out The Face, We Can Get Good Leads From His Physique. And Suddenly, A Wild Kurai Walks Up To The Closet And Slaps The Blush And Smile Clean Off Mizuki's Face Before Taking The Tablet And Looking At The New Photo.
Mizuki: Ah!, You!.
Kurai: Seriously?, It's So Blurry, THIS Is The Best DA Can Do?, I Almost Want To Laugh...
Mizuki: Oh!, So Sorry For The Terrible Image Quality "SLT"!, We're Not Quite As Advanced As You.
Kurai: Quiet Down "Drunk"!.
Kurumi: Hold On. Both Then Turn Their Attention To Kurumi As She Pulls Up The Image On Her Computer And Does An Almost Immediate Enhancement Of The Already Analyzed Photo, Which Makes The Photo Practically Crystal Clear.
Mizuki: Wha!?.
Kurai: That's More Like It.
Mizuki: Wh-What The... Mizuki Has A Shocked Expression, Meanwhile Kurai Has A Satisfied Expression, And Kurumi Full-On Smirks.
Kurumi: That Means This Is The Best Resolution DA Can Get?, You Two, This Is A Chance To Outsmart Them!. Kurai Immediately Raises Her Hand As If In Favor.
Kurai: I'll Take That Kind Of Chance Any Day-, What's Wrong Mizuki?. Mizuki Looks Like She's About To Snap, And She Suddenly Bursts Out "Nothing's Wrong!" Before Slamming The Closet Door Shut.
Kurumi: Why Is She Pissed?. And Then, An Alarm Starts Going Off On Kurumi's Computer.
Kurumi: Oh Hey, It's Time. And Kurumi Immediately Stands From Her Chair And Hops Out Of The Closet Before Closing The Closet Door With A Box In Her Hand.
Kurai: (Through Door) Kurumi!, It's Time!.
Mizuki: Challenge!, I Challenge You!.
Five Minutes Later..., 8:20PM. Chisato Closes The Front Door After Switching The Sign To "Closed".
Chisato: And So, Let's Start The After-Hours Board Game Party!.
Patrons: Yeah!.
Middle Man: Didn't You Say You Had A Deadline Tomorrow?.
Young Woman: That Has Nothing To Do With Me Today.
Old Man: Let's Not Talk About Work Here.
Abe: Actually, I'm On Duty Right Now.
Older Man: Detective, Your Such A Scoundrel.
Middle Woman: Let's Hurry Up And Start.
Kurumi: Alright, Let's Determine Who Goes First.
Chisato: Come On, Takina, You Should Play With Us, I'll Help You Close Up The Cash Register.
Takina: I'm Already Done.
Chisato: So Fast.
Takina: Zero Error In The Register, No Discrepancies.
Young Woman: That Means You're Bored Now, Right?.
Abe: Takina, Come On Over Here!, Let's Play!.
Kurumi: Why Don't You Join Us Takina?.
Takina: No Thank You. Takina Then Walks Through The Kitchen And Into The Back, But Can't Help But Feel The Gazes Of Chisato At The Table, And Kurai On The Stairs Burning Into Her Back, She's A Little Unsettled, As She Always Is Whenever They Stare At Her Like That.
Takina: (Thoughts) Damn, Why Do They Still Give Me The Creeps?.
Abe: Too Many Old Guys Here Maybe?.
Middle Woman: She's Just Shy, You Know, That Awkward Age. And Meanwhile, Takina Is About To Enter The Changing Room Before A Voice Calls Out.
Mika: Why Don't You Go Play With Them?.
Takina: Would That Get Me Back Into DA?. Mika Has A Rather Disappointed Expression On His Face And Once Takina Enters The Dressing Room, A Wild Chisato Suddenly Comes Through The Door Across With A Wild Kurai Behind Her.
Chisato: Hey, Takina
Takina: What Is It?.
Chisato: Let's Play Games Together, Okay?.
Takina: I'm Going Home.
Chisato: Then What About Tomorrow?.
Takina: Tomorrow Is Our Regular Day Off, I'm Going To Change. Takina Immediately Closes The Door To Start Changing.
Chisato: Right, That's Why We're Gathering Here Tomorrow To Have A Game Party.
Mika: Chisato, Did You Get Your Medical Check-Up And Physical Fitness Test Done?.
Chisato: Huh?, Not Yet, It's Such A Drag To Go So Deep Into The Mountains.
Mika: Tomorrow Is The Last Day, You Need To Do It To Renew Your License, If You Want To Keep Working, You Need To Go.
Chisato: Can You Smooth Talk Them For Me, Teach?, Won't Ms. Kusunoki Listen To A Request From You?. And The Changing Room Door Suddenly Opens To Reveal Takina In Her Underwear.
Takina: Your Going To Meet With The Commander?.
Chisato: Your Still Changing!. Chisato Immediately Slams The Door Shut Again, Only For It To Open Again After A Few Seconds, Revealing Takina Now In Her Lycoris Uniform.
Takina: Please, Take Me With You.
Kurai: (Thoughts) So Fast. Takina Proceeds To Bow Towards Chisato And Kurai.
Takina: Please, I Beg You. Chisato, Kurai And Mika Look Between Each Other, Before Chisato Smiles Down At Takina, While Mika Looks At Kurai Sternly.
Chisato: Oh, Alright Takina.
Mika: No "Risky Business" While There, Alright Kurai?.
Kurai: No Promises.
Timeskip: The Next Morning..., 10:34AM. The Trio Are On A Train, Traveling Into The Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park, Chisato Is Looking Out At The Rain, Takina Is Writing In A Notebook, And Kurai Is Listening To Something In Her Earpiece, When Chisato Turns Towards Takina.
Chisato: What Are You Gonna Say To Ms. Kusunoki?.
Takina: I'm Thinking About It Right Now. Chisato Pulls Out A Piece Of Candy From Her Pocket.
Chisato: Takina, Want Some Candy?.
Takina: No Thank You. Chisato Almost Looks Like Her Patience Is Withering, But She Still Keeps Her Normal Expression, And Starts To Remove The Candy From It's Wrapper.
Kurai: You'll Be Getting A Medical Check-Up, "Two Face".
Chisato: It's Just One, "Predator". Takina Sighs At The Name Calling Between The Two, She's Used To It By Now.
Takina: Consuming Sugar Affects Blood Sugar, Neutral Fat, Liver Function, etc. Both Proceed To Look At Chisato Once They Hear Her Popping The Candy In Her Mouth Anyway.
Chisato: Oh, Okay. And After About 10 More Minutes, The Train Finally Stops And The Trio Steps Off And Walks Towards The Front Lot And Spot A Rather Neatly Dressed Woman With An Umbrella Staring In Their Direction, And Standing Next To A Black SUV, To Which The Door To The Black SUV Suddenly Opens.
Woman: We Have Been Waiting For You, Ms. Nishikigi, Ms. Inoue, And Ms. Tennin.
Timeskip: 20 Minutes Later..., 11:08AM. The SUV Drives Down A Vacant Road For About Five Miles Before Reaching A Security Gate With A Sign Reading "State Land Beyond This Point, No Entry Allowed" And Chisato Does A Mocking Face At The Overhead Cameras, Before The Security Gate Opens And The SUV Continues On, And After A Few More Miles, The SUV Finally Reaches The DA Building And Stops Out Front Of The Trio Step Out And Walk Inside, And Chisato And Takina Both Place Their Bags On The Scanning Tread Before Walking In Front Of The Facial Scanner, And Confirming Their Profiles, Before Chisato Grabs Both Of Their Bags And Walking Towards The Door, As Chisato Hands Takina Her Bag.
Chisato: Here.
Takina: Thank You. Kurai Is About To Do The Same, Before She Remembers That She Doesn't Have A Profile.
Kurai: Hey, Hold On. And Chisato And Takina Both Stop And Turn Around, To Which Kurai Takes Out Her Phone And Connects The Linking Cord To A Port In The Scanner, And Begins Typing A Little, Until An Alarm Suddenly Begins Blaring, But After A Few Seconds, The Lights Suddenly Shut Off For A Split Second And Turned Back On, With The Alarm Now Off, And Kurai Quickly Disconnects Her Phone From The System, And She Starts Looking Around, And Spots A Door Leading Into A Side Room With Privacy Glass, It Probably Grants Easy Access To Maintenance Workers.
Kurai: I'm Going Through There, Wait On Me.
Takina: Be Quick. And Kurai Walks Towards The Door, And She Immediately Senses A Bunch Of Bodies Behind The Door, Hostile Bodies, And Sighs Annoyed Before Cracking Her Neck And Going Through The Door And Closing It Behind Her, To Which The Eight Guys Inside Suddenly Look At Her, And Take A Few Seconds To Take In Her Black SLT Uniform Before They Immediately Begin To Attack Her, Kurai Dodges The First Guy's Punch, And Left Hooks The Second Guy In The Face Before Giving A Strike In The Gut, Before Punching The Third Guy In The Chest, Elbowing The First Guy In The Face, Then Left Hooking The Fourth Guy In The Face, And The Fourth Guy Hits His Head On A Panel On The Wall, Which Disables The Privacy Glass, And Now Chisato And Takina Have A Front Row Seat To Kurai Absolutely Destroying Eight Guys With Her Bare Hands, After Taking Out The First Four Guys, Kurai Notices The Girls Watching, And Chisato Winking At Her In A Flirtatious Manner, To Which Kurai Smirks At Her And Mouths "Watch This", Before Dashing Towards The Fifth Guy And Does A Short Wallrun Before Landing Onto The Fifth Guy And Flinging Him In A Frankly Wrestling Menauver, And Then Takes His Vest And Uses It As A Shield As The Sixth Guy Pulls His Pistol And Fires At Her, Once She's Close Enough, She Knocks The Gun Out Of His Hand, Before Kneeing Him In The Gut A Few Times, Before Slamming Him Against The Wall, And She Catches The Seventh Guys Arm Once He Attempts To Punch Her And Locks It Before Pressing Him Against The Glass And Doing A Flirty "Impressed" Expression At The Girls, To Which Takina Is Just Stern, And Chisato Does A Yawning Gesture, To Which Kurai Grabs The Guys Flexible Baton And Takes Out The Eighth Guy With Several Blows To The Face, Before Knocking The Seventh Guy In The Face, And Elbowing The Sixth Guy In The Face As He Attempts To Attack Her From Behind, And Presses Both Of Their Faces Against The Glass, And Does A Kiss Gesture Towards The Girls, Takina Has A Slightly Embarrassed Look, While Chisato Does An "Eh" Gesture With A Blush On Her Face, And Kurai Dodges A Backside Punch From The Fifth Guy And Slams The Sixth And Seventh Guys Faces Against The Glass And Let's Them Fall To The Floor, Before Quickly Adjusting Her Uniform And Grabbing Ahold Of The Fifth Guys Arm As He Again Attempts To Punch Her From Behind, And Grabs His Flexible Baton And Attaches It Around His Left Forearm And Pressing Him Against The Glass, And Spots The Fourth Guy Rushing Her, And Uses The Fifth Guy's Arm To Punch The Fourth Guy, Before Giving The Fourth Guy An Uppercut Herself, Before Locking His Head Under The Fifth Guy's Arm And Locking The Flexible Baton Around His Neck, Securing Both Guys Together, And Then She Attaches The Other Flexible Baton She Took To The Fourth Guys Right Forearm And Once The Eight Guy Attempts To Kick Her, She Locks The Flexible Baton Around His Left Leg, And Then, He Attempts To Get Her With A Stun Stick, But She Dodges It And Uses It To Neutralize The Fourth And Fifth Guys, And Finally The Eight Guy Himself, Before Proceeding To Finish Off Three More Of The Guys With The Stun Stick, And Then, Elbowing The Last Guy As He Rushes Her From Behind In The Face, And Calmly Grabs Him As He Falls Unconscious And Drags Him Over To The DNA Recognition Scanner.
Male AI: (Scanner) Enter Permission DNA Match. And Kurai Presses The Guys Face Against The Scanner Only To Get An "Access Denied".
Kurai: Hm? "Guy Face Press".
Male AI: (Scanner) Access Denied. Kurai Looks At The Girls With A Confused Look, However, They Both Also Look Confused, So Kurai Presses The Guys Face Against The Scanner Again.
Male AI: (Scanner) Access Denied. And Kurai Then Drops The Guy And Looks Back At The Pile Of Bodies Along The Room, And Does A "One Second" Gesture Towards The Girls, As They Both Gain Impatient Expressions, And Kurai Grabs Another Guy Only To Get Another...
Male AI: (Scanner) Access Denied. And After Six More "Access Denied"'s, Kurai Presses The Last Guys Face Against The Scanner To Finally Get A Different Message.
Male AI: (Scanner) Access Granted. And Kurai Looks At The Girls,To Which Chisato Claps, While Takina Just Nods.
5 Minutes Later..., 11:29AM. The Trio Are At The Reception Desk, Talking To One Of The Two Reception Ladies.
Reception Lady: Ms. Nishikigi Has A Physical Fitness Test, So Please Head To The Medical Ward, Ms. Inoue...
Takina: I Would Like To See Commander Kusunoki.
Reception Lady: The Commander Is Currently In A Meeting, She Will Not Return For Another Two Hours, And As For You... The Reception Lady Stared Over In Kurai's Direction, Looking Over The Small Amounts Of Blood On Her Gloved Hands And On Her Elbows, Before Sighing.
Reception Lady: Make Sure You Wash The Blood Off, And Please Refrain From Sending Any More Personnel To The Medical Ward.
Kurai: Yeah, Yeah. And Behind The Trio, Lycoris Were Passing By And Growing A Bit Suspicious Of All Three Of Them Being Here, Erika Was Among Those Passing By And Smiled Instead.
Erika: Takina.
3rd Lycoris: Hey, That's The Friend-Killer.
3rd Lycoris: She Got Kicked Out Of DA Right?.
3rd Lycoris: She Apparently Sends Anyone She Pairs Up With To The Hospital, How Horrible. But Once The Two 3rds Finally Notice Kurai, They Immediately Tense Up.
3rd Lycoris: Why Is An SLT Lycoris Here?.
3rd Lycoris: I Don't Know, But It Can't Be Good Knowing "They're Kind". Both Chisato And Kurai Glare Back At The Two 3rds From Behind At Their Discriminate Words, While Takina Seems A Little Distracted.
Chisato: What's Up With Them?.
Reception Lady: Would You Like To Wait?.
Takina: Oh, Yes.
3rd Lycoris: Apparently, She Ignored Orders.
3rd Lycoris: Huh?, Why Would You Do Such A Thing?.
Takina: I'll Be Over At The Training Facility. Takina Doesn't Even Wait For An Answer Before Running Off.
Chisato: Wait, Hold On, Takina!.
Erika: Wait Takina!.
Kurai: Takina... And Kurai After A Few Seconds, Takes Notice Of The Third Party Voice Behind, And Immediately Looks Back At Erika, Who Immediately Runs Off Under Kurai's Gaze, And Turns Back To Chisato Once She Hears Her Sigh.
Chisato: Well, I'm Going To Go Get Ready.
Kurai: Have Fun. And Chisato Walks Off To Prepare For The Fitness Test, Leaving Kurai Alone In The Front Lobby, To Which Her Earpiece Starts Beeping, To Which She Immediately Places It In Her Ear And Turns It On.
Kurai: Yes?.
Hina: (Comms) Kurai, Would You Please Be A Dear And Let "Us" In?.
Kurai: Of Course. And Kurai Immediately Climbs Over The Reception Desk And Pushes The Two Reception Ladies Back Out Of The Way.
Reception Lady: H-Hey!. And Kurai Immediately Links Her Phone Into The Security Port On The Desk, And Does Some Typing Before, A Notification Appears On Both Desktop Computer Screens That Entry Security Systems Have Been Disabled, And Then, The Computers Begin To Glitch Out, And Kurai Disconnects Her Phone From The System And Proceeds To Climb Back Over The Reception Desk And Lean Against It, And Then, About A Minute Later, Kurai Suddenly Begins To Stand Straight, The Reason Why Is Immediately Revealed Once, The Asais Walk Through The Lobby Doors With Four SLT Lycoris By Their Side, One Of Them Is Midoriko, As For The Other Three, One Of Them Has Long Black Hair And Black Eyes, Is A Bit On The Shorter Side In Height, She Has A Grin On Her Face Indicating Trouble, And She Has A Soldier Pin On Her Uniform, Another Has Black Hair Aswell, But Is Much Shorter And Is Waved In The Back With Her Hair Tied On Both Sides In The Front, Creating A Unique Style, She's Definitely Taller Than The Previous Girl, Her Eyes Are Blue, She Has A Rather Bored Look On Her Face, Most Notably, She's Actually Wearing The Veteran Package Wear, So Kurai Can't See Her Pin (But Kurai Of Course Knows Her Like Every Other SLT Lycoris In Tokyo, And Knows For A Fact That This Particular Lycoris Is A Soldier Aswell), And Lastly, The Final Lycoris Is Evidently Disabled Considering The Cane She's Using, But Kurai Knows For A Fact That She's Still Considerably Capable When She Needs To Be, Despite Being Disabled, Her Cane Has A Curved Blade Concealed In It, That's One Of The Reasons For The Top Of Her Cane Being A Grip, Apart From Practicality, And She Also Knows That She Carries An Machine Pistol, She Has Grayish Silver Hair, Darker Than Kurai's, And Blue Eyes, She Has A Small Smile On Her Face That Makes Her Appear More Harmless Than She Already Does From Being Disabled, And She Has A Don Pin On Her Uniform, Just Like Midoriko, And Kurai Immediately Steps Up To The Group And Does A "Very" Slight Bow.
Kurai: Madams, Midoriko, Yuki (Grinning Lycoris), Shino (Bored Lycoris), Asuka (Disabled Lycoris).
Katsuki: You Did A Good Job Finding This Place, Even If It Was As Easy As Transport.
Midoriko: And We Saw Some Damage In One Of The Rooms, Run Into Trouble?. Kurai Simply Shrugs, Not Denying It.
Kurai: I Needed To Get In, They Wouldn't Get Out Of My Way, And They Started It. Asuka Giggles At Kurais Words And Begins Smirking.
Asuka: Well, I Suppose Drama Follows Wherever Our People Go. Even If The SLT Lycoris And The Asais Either Don't Seem To Notice Or Care, The Atmosphere Has Been Incredibly Tense Ever Since They Stepped In, The DA Lycoris Are On Edge, The Reception Ladies Are On Edge, Everyone Is On Edge.
Hina: Well, Kurai, Why Don't You Show Us Around?. Kurai Pulls Out Her Phone And Sends Some Map Data To The Phones Of Her Four SLT Lycoris Counterparts.
Kurai: Help Yourselves Why Don't You?. Kurai Then Nods To The Asais To Follow Her And Begins Walking Off, And Hina Follows While Katsuki Instead Whispers In Midoriko's Ear.
Katsuki: While Kurai Gives Us A Little Tour, You Find Where The DA Keeps Their Data And Use That Program That The Developers Gave You To Copy All Of Their Data, We Need To Know What They Know.
Midoriko: Yes Madam. And Katsuki Immediately Goes To Catch Up To Kurai And Hina, And Midoriko Turns To The Other Three.
Midoriko: I'm Sure You Heard The Lady, We Should Probably Split Into Pairs, Shino, You're Okay With Partnering Me?.
Shino: Yup. Midoriko Sighs A Little At Shino's Usually Bored Attitude And Clears Her Throat.
Midoriko: Then, Yuki, You Go With Asuka.
Yuki: Alright, Me And You Again, Eh Asuka?.
Asuka: I Almost Want To Cry Yuki. Midoriko Immediately Clears Her Throat Once More.
Midoriko: Right Then, Let's Get Started, You Go That Way (Erika's Direction), We Go This Way (Asai's Direction). And The Four Immediately Walk Their Separate Ways And Deeper Into The Building.
