Text: Start with the color page!!

Sawakita: Kirishima-san!
Sawakita: Put your cell phone on an open channel.
Kirishima: ...Okay.

03

Maya: Officially, this country doesn't make deals with terrorists.
Maya: A good intention.
Maya: Although I suppose that's obvious.
Maya: If you gave into a terrorist's demands once, it would all be over.
Maya: The hyenas would sense something rotten, attack, and devour this country.

Maya: That's right.
Maya: Just like what's happening now.
Small text around Maya's bubbles: Hee hee hee

Fujimaru: Th-the deals made so far were the parts of plans!!
Fujimaru: Even this time, in the end, we'll...
Maya: That kind of excuse won't get through to the hyenas.
Small text in the right of Maya's bubble: Hee hee

Maya: That's why I'm making a business deal...
Maya: with no relation to the terrorists.

Maya: My "merchandise" is the Key Tool to the detonator of the "Tsar Bomba".
Maya: It can save the center of Japan, Tokyo.

04

Maya: And I'm charging a mere hundred million dollars.
Maya: Well?
Maya: That's not a bad deal, is it?

Fujimaru: ...Don't screw with us.
Fujimaru: Go to hell, you damn bitch.
Maya: Oh, my. What a dirty mouth.
Maya: That saddens me as your teacher, Takagi-kun.

Maya: We have an hour and ten minutes...
Maya: until it detonates.
Maya: This deal is open for 40 minutes.
Maya: It will end at 3:22.

Maya: If I have to escape Tokyo...
Maya: I'd like half an hour to do so.

05

Fujimaru: ...How do you know the time until it detonates and how did you know it's underground!?
Fujimaru: You really are with the "Shooter of the Magic Bullet", aren't you!?

Maya: If I was with them, why would I be helping you stop their terrorist attack?
Fujimaru: ...Like I'd know!
Fujimaru: You're like a game piece that only moves for money, right?
Fujimaru: As long as you're paid, you'll do anything.

Fujimaru: That's right...
Fujimaru: Anything...

Maya: Hee hee
Maya: Hello, "Third-i"? You're listening in, right?
Maya: I'd like for you to hurry up and inform the new Prime Minister Kujou about this.
Maya: If you come around, contact me via Falcon's cell phone.

Maya: Look.
Maya: You only have 39 minutes left.
SFX: Doo...
SFX: Doo...

06

Kujou: ...I understand the situation.
Man: M-Minister Kujou...

Kujou: We have only one option.
Kujou: Prepare a hundred million dollars.

Kujou: That said...
Kujou: It's all over once we truly have the Key Tool.
Kujou: There's still the possibility it will be a fake.

Hagiwara: ...We know.
Hagiwara: What I just explained...
Hagiwara: was our proposal in case that happens.

07

Kujou: I'll be waiting for good news.
Kujou: Go protect Japan.
Kujou: That's why "Third-i" exists.

Hagiwara: Yes, sir.
Hagiwara: I'll keep that in mind.

SFX: Click

08

Fujimaru: ...The prime minister has made his decision.
Fujimaru: They're preparing the hundred million dollars.

Maya: The negotiations...
Maya: are complete.
Fujimaru: Hurry up and give your instructions!!
Fujimaru: You know we don't have time!

Maya: Don't be impatient.
Maya: First deposit the total amount into the Swiss bank account I specify.
Fujimaru: Hand over the Key Tool first!!

Maya: Fine.
Maya: But...
Maya: Will you come?

Fujimaru: Me!?

09

Maya: That's right.
Maya: The one to come get my merchandise...
Maya: will be you, "Falcon".

Sawakita: ...Don't worry.
Sawakita: We anticipated this possibility.

Maya: Well?
Maya: Are you too afraid to come?
Fujimaru: Okay.
Fujimaru: I'll go.

Maya: Then come to the place I specify.
Fujimaru: Will...

10

Fujimaru: you be...
Fujimaru: coming?

Maya: Of course.

11

SFX: Ding

Sign: Emergency Staircase

12

Kanou: Be careful.
Kanou: Orihara Maya has a grudge against you for causing "Bloody Monday" to fail.

Fujimaru: That's why...

Fujimaru (thought): I won't let her get away!!
Fujimaru: Orihara Maya!!
Fujimaru: Where are you! I came just like you wanted!!
Fujimaru: Get out here!!

13-14

Maya: You're late, Takagi-kun.
Maya: You just lost a point.
Maya: ...Just kidding.

15

Fujimaru: As promised...
Fujimaru: you came yourself.
Maya: As you can plainly see.

Fujimaru: There's a helicopter circling the area...

Fujimaru: She must be planning on using it to flee Tokyo like before.

Fujimaru: Kanou-san.
Small text in Fujimaru's bubble: Whisper

Fujimaru: The helicopter flying above us is suspicious.
Fujimaru: Keep an eye on it.
Kanou: ...Roger.

16

Fujimaru: Hand over the Key Tool! When you do, I'll deposit the the hundred million dollars into your bank account!!
Maya: YOU will?

Fujimaru: I've been given authorization to do so from Prime Minister Kujou!

Maya: Oh, amazing!
Maya: "Authorized by the Prime Minister"! You're quite the important person.
Text around Maya: Hee hee

Fujimaru: Where is the Key Tool!?

Maya: Right here.
Maya: Once I've confirmed the deposit, I'll give it to you.

17

Fujimaru: "Third-i" decided that if Orihara Maya didn't show up herself, the Key Tool she has is a fake.
Fujimaru: To avoid paying the money and still having Tokyo destroyed, they said they would take the dangerous option of betting on the unlikely chance that they could dismantle the "Third Emperor"...

Fujimaru: But...
Fujimaru: Orihara Maya showed up!
Maya: Why are you staring at me like that?
Maya: You dirty boy.

Fujimaru: She set the limit at 40 minutes until the "Third Emperor" detonates.
Fujimaru: And yet there's the chance that "Third-i" could capture her before she can flee.
Fujimaru: Why...
Fujimaru: did you come?

Maya: Huh?
Maya: What are you saying, "Falcon"?
Maya (thought): He must be wondering why I came here so easily.
Maya: It was your demand, wasn't it?

Maya: Too bad...
Maya: Once you figure that out, I'll be gone.

Maya: Use a normal internet browser to access the government financial institution site and deposit the money while I watch.
Fujimaru: ...Understood.

Fujimaru: I thought she'd want that.
Fujimaru: It's true that if I use an internet browser that you can't modify and she's watching...
Fujimaru: I can't use any tricks like deleting the deposited money with a time-delay virus.

18

Fujimaru: But...that can't be all.
Fujimaru: She must have some other plan...!!

Maya: C'mon.
Maya: Hurry up and begin.
Maya: We don't have time,
Maya: right?

Fujimaru: I know that!

Fujimaru: But...
Maya: What is it?
Fujimaru: Could you...
Fujimaru: show me the Key Tool first?

Maya: Oh! Do you think it's a fake?
Fujimaru: Of course we thought of that possibility!

Maya: Fine.
SFX: Click!

19

Fujimaru: ...It looks like the same as in the data.
Fujimaru: And there was a record of her having bought it from a collector.
Fujimaru: But...if she hired a skilled hacker, she could have falsified that.

Maya: It's real.
Maya: Shouldn't that be obvious?
SFX: Close
Maya: The most basic rule of a life or death "deal" is the need for trust.

Fujimaru: I can't tell if it's real or not just from looking at it.

20

Fujimaru: I need to be suspicious of everything Orihara Maya says...
Fujimaru: She would betray anyone in a heartbeat!!

Fujimaru: I need to determine if the Key Tool is real or not here!!

Maya: You're not going to deposit that money so easily.
Maya: And once you get the Key Tool, you plan on capturing me, don't you?

Maya: What a greedy child.
Maya: But...
Maya: I won't let things go they way you want them to.

21

Fujimaru: For the sake of all the people who have died due to your actions...
Fujimaru: I will make sure...
Fujimaru: to capture you!!!!
Text: Whose hidden trump card is better!?

Maya: Try and pull this off.
Maya: That's why...
Maya: I went out of my way to come back here.
