Kenji: This car....

Kenji: This isn't your patrol car is it?

Shouta: Shut up!
>I was in the middle of my lunch break!

>lil txt: It's your fault I didn't get to eat that lunch either.

SFX: ring ring

Shouta: hmph

Shouta: God your phone just doesn't. stop. ringing.
>I'm cutting the power.

Kenji: Ah!

Shouta: You aren't allowed to have any outside contact now anyhow!
>You're the "wanted suspect" after all!

Kenji: ...okay.

Kenji(thought): But all I did

Kenji(thought): ...was reply to a text message.

=Hundred Fifty Nine=

Kenji: I never thought

Kenji: That this would ever be the result...

Kenji: I didn't get to become the Japanese representative for the math Olympics.

Kenji: And my fiance disguise was found out.

Kenji: What am I doing, really....

Shouta: The light is green!! Why aren't we moving?!

SFX: honk honk honk honk

Shouta: Oh...p..pardon my outburst.

Natsuki: Kenji-kun!

Natsuki: Come back!

Natsuki: We heard from Sakuma-kun.
>He says he knows something about the hacker's true identity!

Natsuki: I don't really understand it all,
>But hurry up and get on the bike.

=Hundred Sixty One=

Mansuke: Well, use the ship's GPS.

Mansuke: Damn it, that too? Then be sure to tell the fishing association.

Mansuke: Hmm?

Kenji: It's not human!?

Kenji: What's that supposed to mean....

Sakuma: Don't you know anything?
>It's artificial intelligence!

PAGE 83 (162-163)

=Hundred Sixty Two=

Sakuma: It's a hacking intelligence that was under development at the Pittsburgh robotic's engineering laboratory.
>It's called "Love Machine."

Sakuma: There were rumors that it had escaped.

Sakuma: It's stealing user's accounts using that password you sent it.

Sakuma: Right now, all the mayhem happening all over the country is being caused by Love Machine.

Shouta: Hey, you! Don't just spout off a bunch of gibberish!

Natsuki: Shou-nii be quiet!

Natsuki: Are these accounts really that important?

>lil txt: Even I have one.

=Hundred Sixty Three=

Sakuma: They give it an identity to use in the OZ system.
>It can do anything it wants to in OZ right now. The more accounts it gets, the more it will be able to affect the outside world as well!

Sakuma: Say it get's it's hands on the account of the water department chief, it'll be able to do as it likes with the water systems. If it's a train executive, it'll be able to wreck havoc with the trains. Do you see?

Sakuma: Or say it get's it's hands on a high ranking general, or even a president's account?
>It will have total access to nuclear weaponry.

PAGE 84 (164-165)

=Hundred Sixty Four=

Kenji: It's all my fault! All my fault..

Shouta: I should arrest you after all!!

Natsuki: Isn't there anything we can do?!

Sakuma: The entire core of OZ system engineer's is trying, but they still can't get into the administrative program.

Sakuma: Because of Love Machine, everything is being rewritten. To crack the security,
>There is no other way than to discover the encryption password.

Kenji: ....another password?

Sakuma: It's a 512 number code.
>Compared to last night's 2056 digit code, this should be an easy one for you right?

Kenji: B...but is it really okay for me to mess with this code?!
>What if it's a trap set by Love Machine, and when I solve it, "BAM!" he's got me...?!

Sakuma: What's this? Is this all affecting you that much?

=Hundred Sixty Five=

Sakuma: You're right to be cautious. You can't be wrong at all.

Sakuma: If you input an incorrect password, the actual password will be rewritten and changed.
>And the account used to input the incorrect password will be stolen by Love Machine as well.

Kenji: S...so it's really a trap after all...

Sakuma: Since it's so difficult, no one has been able to even try.

Sakuma: However, there is no other way!
>Please Kenji!

Kenji(thought): To make absolutely no mistakes...

Kenji(thought): I'm not that confident....

Kazuma: We need to do this as quickly as possible.
>Thing's are only going to get worse.

Kenji: Eh?

PAGE 85 (166-167)

=Hundred Sixty Six=

Kazuma: Data files from various companies are beginning to leak out.

Kazuma: Such as all of NTT's call logs.

Yorihiko: Huh? Grandma?!

Sakae: Okay?!

Sakae: Kunihiko!

Kunihiko: Grandma!?

Sakae: Don't lose heart! Show your obstinate side!

Sakae: Do you understand, Katsuhiko? This is a fight!
>I'll see about what I can do, so give it your best!

Katsuhiko: What do you mean, what are you planning to--

=Hundred Sixty Nine=

Sakae: Yes, it "has" been a while, Kan-chan.

Sakae: For our connection as vassals of lord Takeda, I have something I would like to ask.
>What kind of measures has the ministry enacted to counter this crisis?

Sakae: What?! You were just getting around to it?!

Sakae: Don't play with me!!

Sakae: It doesn't matter if you're retired, Sone-san.
>We need all the medical and disaster relief personnel we can get.

Sakae: This will give your idiot son and his NPO a chance to be useful.

Sakae: Iitomi-san, what's important is that like in the past, people call other people for help when needed.

Sakae: The one who should understand that the most is you.
>Right?

PAGE 87 (170-171)

=Hundred Seventy=

Sakae: Sen-san, we need your determination in this fight.

Sakae: Nita-san, no need to call me sensei. This is just a request from an old woman.

Sakae: Please don't bring up such old squabbles. I hit you over 50 years ago!

Sakae: We need to fight with all our strength so we don't regret it later!
>If you won't give it your all now, when will you!?

Sakae: This is for you as well, so please lend us your aid.

Sakae: This isn't such an unreasonable request is it?!

=Hundred Seventy One=

Shouta: Hey, she just spoke like that to Obata-san...
>He's the superintendent of all the police forces!

Natsuki: It seems like everyone has been grandma's student at one point.

Sakae: Pleast don't give up hope.

Sakae: It's crucial that we never give up!

Shouta: What is this guy....?

Natsuki: He's Japan's math Olympics representative!

Natsuki: -----Well,
>He just missed out on being it by a little bit anyway.

Kenji: Finished!

=Hundred Seventy Five=

Shouta: You can't be even a little wrong right?!

Kenji: I know!

PAGE 90 (176-177)

=Hundred Seventy Six=

Sakuma: All right!!
>The gate to the administrative system is open!!

Sakuma: Good job!!

=Hundred Seventy Seven=

Kenji: Phew!

Natsuki: That was amazing, Kenji-kun!

Sakuma: This is really great, Kenji.
>With this your name will be cleared.

Sakuma: -----Huh?

Sakuma: Good news, Kenji!

Kenji: What?

Sakuma: According to the gate's security log, there was more than one attempt to crack the password last night.
>Worldwide there were 55 people that tried.

Kenji: That many?!

Sakuma: But you know what?
>You aren't counted among them!!

Kenji: Eh?
>What's that supposed to mean?

PAGE 91 (178-179)

=Hundred Seventy Eight=

Sakuma: You got the last character wrong last night! Hahahaha!

Sakuma: The one who failed to become the Japanese representative was really quite careless!!

Sakuma: But it stole your avatar anyway when you sent in the incorrect reply.

Sakuma: Hey, did you hear me, Kenji?

Shouta: Shit, so he's not a criminal after all?

Natsuki: Th...this is a good thing, isn't it?
>You were correct this time, after all, right?

=Hundred Seventy Nine=

News: ---And so the entire country was in a state of panic for one day---

???: We wanted to see you so much, grandma~~~~

News: According to this, there were miraculously no casualties.
>Since the OZ system was restored, all faculties and public agencies have seemed to returned to business as usual--

Katsuhiko: We were worried about you since we heard you weren't in the best of health.

Yorihiko: But you seem healthy enough, so that's good.

Sakae: Oh I don't need to be fussed over.

Sakae: Putting that aside, you all did a great job today.

PAGE 92 (180-181)

=Hundred Eighty=

Katsuhiko: What are you saying grandma? Wasn't it all thanks to you calling everyone and giving instructions?

Yorihiko: If you hadn't acted so quickly, it might have ended much worse!

Sakae: No no, it was all thanks to you.

Kunihiko: She's so modest, haha~

???: That's our grandma for you!
>The best in Japan!

Sakae: How foolish.

Sakae: By the way, Kenji-kun.

Kenji: Ah,
>yes?

Sakae: You also gave it your all today didn't you?

=Hundred Eighty One=

Kenji: Oh no, I didn't do much compared to you all...

Natsuki: He corrected the problems in the OZ system!

Kunihiko: What? Is this Natsuki's boyfriend?

Shouta; Not at all!

Yorihiko: He's a pretty good boyfriend to have, eh Natsuki?

Shouta: I told you, he isn't her boyfriend~~~!

Katsuhiko: Why are you even talking, Shouta?

Kazuma: Which means Love Machine hasn't been defeated yet.

Kenji: That's right, the fundamental problem hasn't been taken care of.

Tasuke: What's a "Love Machine" ? Some kind of monster?

Kazuma: It's the one stealing people's accounts.
>It's an artificial intelligence.

Tasuke: Let me see, let me see!

=Hundred Eighty Three=

Tasuke: Geez! What a mean looking avatar!

Kazuma: This is the one responsible for today's chaos...

Mansuke: But why haven't we heard anything about it on the news?

Kazuma: I think it's just a matter of time, Master.

Kazuma: The net is vast. I think those that know are already taking action.

Kazuma: But you can't stop the power to share information.

Wabisuke: Shishishi....

Wabisuke: It really is too bad.

Wabisuke: But in the end, it will all be completely useless.

PAGE 94 (184-185)

=Hundred Eighty Four=

Kazuma: How do you know?
>Why do you say that it will all be useless?

=Hundred Eighty Five=
