Title: File 29 10 count

112

Kirishima: Kanou-san.
Kirishima: Kanou-san!?

Kirishima: What ha-

113

114

Houshou: Put down the gun.
Fujimaru: Why!?
Fujimaru: Why!?

Fujimaru: Why did you shoot your comrade!?

Houshou: He wasn't my comrade.

Fujimaru: Yes, he was!!

Fujimaru: Kanou-san thought you were!!

115

Houshou: Making him think that...
Houshou: was part of my job.

Houshou: But in reality...

Houshou: I was a spy...
Houshou: and his enemy.

116

Maya: ...Okay, that's enough talking.
Maya: As you know, we don't have much time.
Maya: Put down the gun and do what we say.

Fujimaru: N...
Fujimaru: No!!

Houshou: We already told you.
Houshou: We don't have much time.

Houshou: If you don't want to end up like Kanou, do what we say.

117

Fujimaru: I-if you're going to shoot me, then shoot me!

Fujimaru: You won't kill me.
Fujimaru: You must have been ordered not to.

Fujimaru: There's something you want me to do for you, isn't there?
Fujimaru: That's why you spent so much time kidnapping my sister.
Houshou: So?
Houshou: If you die here, we can get someone to replace you.

Houshou: Now...
Houshou: Put down the gun.

Fujimaru: I don't think you have...
Fujimaru: anyone to replace me.

Houshou: ...I'll wait 10 seconds.

118

Houshou: 10
Houshou: 9

Fujimaru: You don't have a replacement...!!
Fujimaru: If there was, you wouldn't have let me live this long...
Fujimaru: as the one who destroyed your plan 2 years ago!

Houshou: 6
Houshou: 5

Fujimaru: It's fine...it's fine. She won't shoot.
Fujimaru: There's no way she'll shoot.
Fujimaru: Just like you sad before...
Fujimaru: I'm an eyesore and extremely dangerous existence to them, right!?
Fujimaru: She threatened me by firing into the air because if she shot towards me...
Fujimaru: there's a chance it would ricochet and hit me...

Houshou: 4
Houshou: 3

119

Houshou: 2
Houshou: 1

Fujimaru: W...
Fujimaru: Wait!!

Houshou: ...Are you going to do what we say?

Fujimaru: ...No!!
Fujimaru: I'm going to make you regret not shooting me just now!
Fujimaru: Because this time...this time, I'll shoot you!!

Houshou: ...You won't shoot me.
Houshou: You're much too soft.

120

Fujimaru: ...Houshou-san, put down your gun!
Fujimaru: I'm going to pull the trigger!
Houshou: ...Give it a rest and shut up.

Fujimaru: At this range, I won't miss!

Maya: Stop,
Maya: you two.

Maya: It's natural for him to get worked up in this situation.
Maya: He's just a kid acting tough... okay?

121

Houshou: I don't want to hear that from you...
Houshou: after that same kid caught you.

Maya: ...True enough...

Maya: But I already recognize his skill.
Maya: It wasn't the police or "Third-i" that has been influencing the success or failure of our plans.
Maya: It's been that high school kid.

Maya: Lower your gun.

122

Maya: How about we...
Maya: make a deal?
Maya: ...For real this time.

Fujimaru: I already told you...
Fujimaru: I have no intention of making a deal...
Fujimaru: with terrorists...!!

Maya: ...Houshou-san.
Maya: Put down your gun.

Maya: Or even better...
Maya: Throw it down...
Maya: by Falcon's feet.

123

Maya: ...Okay.
Maya: Let's make a deal.

Fujimaru: What...did you say?

Fujimaru: I now have complete control over the situation.
Fujimaru: Why should I...
Fujimaru: make a deal with you.

Maya: Oh...
Maya: So what are you going to do?

Fujimaru: What am I going to do...?
Fujimaru: Keep you here until "Third-i" gets here.

Maya: You're going to...
Maya: keep us here with that gun?

124

Fujimaru: Don't get any closer!
Fujimaru: I really will shoot you!!

Maya: It's okay.
Maya: You don't have to be so cautious.
Maya: Look...As you can clearly see...
Maya: I'm unarmed, right?

J: ...Hmm.
J: As expected of someone with real battle experience like Orihara Maya.

Mikhail: With real battle experience?
J: If Houshou-san had continued to aim her gun at him...
J: Falcon really would have shot her.

125

Mikhail: Even though he didn't shoot when it truly mattered...
Mikhail: Really?
J: In fact, that's the reason why.

J: The fact that Kanou was killed...
J: has given him a reason.

J: It's known as "War Mentality".
J: There's a reason a truly good person who would never hurt a fly can easily shoot and kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Mikhail: ...A reason...?

J: The gun that killed his comrade is being pointed at him now.
J: If things continue as they are, he'll be killed.
J: Just like his comrade's corpse that is lying on the ground.

J: In that situation...
J: he has a reason to justify shooting the enemy.

126

J: But, in making them unarmed, Orihara Maya has taken that reason from him.

Maya: It's okay.
Maya: If we try anything, you can just shoot us, right?
Fujimaru: ...Stay back.

J: Shooting an unarmed person...
J: is something he can't justify because he pretends to be some kind of ally of justice.

Mikhail: ...Amazing.
Mikhail: So that's what having real battle experience is.

J: Maybe she'll finally get to show off her specialty.
J: She should have just done so from the beginning.
J: I was conflicted about whether she should be made to take responsibility for her mistake...

J: But that might not be necessary now.

127

Maya: Are you that afraid of an unarmed person?

Maya: Then...
Maya: would this make you feel better?
Maya: Mr. Coward.

Maya: Heh heh.
Maya: You're so cool, Takagi-kun.
Maya: You're like the hero of a TV drama.
Fujimaru: Don't move!
Fujimaru: You, too, Houshou-san!

Maya: ...But y'know, Takagi-kun.
Maya: Whenever you see a scene where the hero who is a battle pro...
Maya: pushes the gun into the criminal's back...

128

Maya: You can know...
Maya: that it's a lie.

Fujimaru: Kh...!?
Fujimaru: The gun...!?
Maya: If you press on the muzzle of a blowback semi-auto like this...
Maya: the disconnecter keeps the hammer from falling.
Fujimaru: It won't...move...

129

Maya: You should never threaten a pro by pushing the gun into them.
Fujimaru: Waah...

Maya: It tells her where the gun is...
Maya: And she can even put her finger in the hammer and, just like now, the gun won't fire.

Maya: So when a true pro is threatening someone with a gun...
Maya: she gets to a range at which the target can't fight back and at which she can definitely hit him...
Maya: And then she points the gun at him.

130

Maya: Just like this...okay?
