J: From here on, don't say anything unnecessary.

J: You're smart. You understand,
J: right?

J: Munakata-san.

Title: File 46 Enemies On All Sides

91

Otoya: Asada!!

Aoi: Kujou-san!
Aoi: Ryuunosuke-sensei...!!

Ryuunosuke: You two really are being quite reckless...
Aoi: Here's a mask and a hat.

Aoi: The super markets in the suburbs sure are convenient.
Aoi: I got you a jacket, too.
Ryuunosuke: ...Thanks.

92

Sign in first panel: Satou Hospital Stop

Ryuunosuke: The police will only think we would go by foot or taxi at first.

Ryuunosuke: Even if the wanted information has been sent to the driver...
Ryuunosuke: we can ride these pay-after type buses without him seeing my face.

93

Kanou: They're going quite a ways...

Kanou: They might actually be going all the way to their base...!!
Kanou: If so, I've...
Kanou: made up my mind...

J: Your target is the "Shikimura File".

J: The second he gets his hands on...
J: its location...

94

Munakata: Fujimaru-kun.
Munakata: If this file really is a fake...
Munakata: why was it left with me?
Fujimaru: The enemy had a spy...
Fujimaru: in "Third-i"...

Fujimaru: That spy most likely told her comrades about the encrypted file that Professor Shikimura...
Fujimaru: sent "somewhere" on the verge of death.
Fujimaru: Upon hearing that, the enemy came up with a counter-plan.

Fujimaru: There's a good chance that the "Shikimura File" points to an antivirus for "Bloody-X".
Fujimaru: So, to buy time, they made an undecryptable fake file...
Fujimaru: and left it with you because you're a common friend of Professor Shikimura and my dad.

Fujimaru: I still don't know what they were trying to buy time for though...

95

Munakata: ...I see.
Munakata: That does make a lot of sense.
Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: That line of thought also perfectly explains the timing with which that foreign man showed up.

Fujimaru: I thought he was following my dad, but that's not all.
Fujimaru: It was an act in order to convince us that the file was authentic.

Minami: You've been typing on your computer this whole time. What are you doing?
Fujimaru: Looking for where the real "Shikimura File" could be, of course.
Text right of Fujimaru: I'm switching plans in my head.
Fujimaru: It's been around 20 minutes since we left "Third-i".

Fujimaru: We have to find where the drug is...and then actually get it.
Fujimaru: And it'll take 30 to 40 minutes for the injection in the two who are infected.
Fujimaru: In the worst case, I only have 10 minutes.

J: Mikhail-kun.
J: Can you monitor Falcon's net access?
Mikhail: Yes.
Mikhail: In the time he spent on the fake file, I rigged Munakata's router.

96

J: You can't get the data directly from his computer?
J: Isn't that the "special" one he got from Maya?

Mikhail: Yes, but while it's running it's just a normal laptop.
Mikhail: Thinking of his skills...well...
Mikhail: If it was doing anything unusual while it was running, he'd notice.

J: You're right.
Mikhail: What should I do? Monitor his access?
Mikhail: If I just watch the coming and going of data, we can know what he's doing without being noticed.

J: Really?
Mikhail: Yes.

Mikhail: If I don't do anything to the data...

97

Fujimaru: What's this odd feeling...
Fujimaru: Something's not right.

Munakata: I hope you find it...
Munakata: but you don't have much time.
Munakata: So many people's lives are on the line...

Fujimaru: No, I don't have time to think about anything else.
Fujimaru: Lives are in the balance.
Fujimaru: I have to find the real "Shikimura File"!!

Minami: What is it? Did you find some kind of hint?
Fujimaru: No...

98

Fujimaru: I'm actually in "Third-i"'s system right now...
Minami: What?

Fujimaru: Sorry, but it's an emergency situation.
Fujimaru: I checked the data taken from Professor Shikimura's computer that was in the secret archive...

Minami: Did you find anything?
Fujimaru: It was made so you couldn't tell where he sent it from the transmission log.
Fujimaru: That and traces left by the encryption before hand were all I found.

Minami: We figured out that much.
Fujimaru: Yeah...

Fujimaru: ...Wait.
Fujimaru: An encrypted file...

Fujimaru: That's right. It was encrypted.
Fujimaru: Why did Professor Shikimura encrypt the file?
Minami: For the sake of safety, right?

99

Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: But if you encrypt it, you have to rely on someone who can decrypt it.
Minami: True.

Fujimaru: Of all the people who are related to this case...
Fujimaru: and that Professor Shikimura had some connection to...
Fujimaru: and that could decrypt this file... Who could it be...? Who...?
Names to the left of Fujimaru from top to bottom: Takagi Ryuunosuke, Kirishima Gorou, Kujou Otoya, Chief Sonoma, Asada Aoi, Section Chief Okita, Kanou Ikuma, Houshou Sayuri

Fujimaru: Me?
Fujimaru: There's no one but me!

100

Minami: What? Are you saying that the "Shikimura File" was sent to you?
Fujimaru: It makes the most sense.

Minami: Fujimaru-kun, have you checked your email?
Fujimaru: Yes.
Fujimaru: But I always thought that the "Shikimura File" was sent to Munakata-san.

Fujimaru: My server is set to automatically separate out the spam emails and viruses.
Fujimaru: I haven't checked that section.

Minami: Check it now!
Fujimaru: I am!

101

J: ...Mikhail-kun.
J: Do you know what mail server Takagi Fujimaru uses?

Mikhail: Yes, I've found it.
J: Can you hack into it?

Mikhail: No.
Mikhail: He personally made this server. Its security is quite strict...
Text left of Mikhail: My main computer's been modified, too.

J: I was right. We do just have to wait for him to find the "Shikimura File" himself.

J: Now, then.
J: Can everyone hear me?

102

J: On my signal, go in.
J: Take out the "Third-i" member...

J: and secure the "Shikimura File".

103

104

Someone: We've reached the underground parking lot.
Someone: We're heading to help the 14 people on the underground 3rd floor.
Someone else: Roger.

105

Guard: This is the entrance from the underground parking lot.
Guard: The unit in protective suits has just arrived.
Someone: Roger.
Someone: Start the body check.

Guard: Roger.
Guard 2: Has something happened?

Guard: Who knows.
Guard: We're just hired guards after all.

Guard: It's probably better we don't know.
Guard 2: Ohh...
Guard 2: How scary.

Text above the guard: Last one.

106

Man: What are you doing? Hurry up!!
Man: This is an emergency situation!!

Guard: Okay, no problems!
Guard: Go on ahead!!

Guard 2: Ohh, that really surprised me.
Guard: Huh!? What did?

107

Guard 2: One of 'em was a woman.
Guard 2: And a nice one at that.
Guard 2: They were like this...

Guard: Huuh?
Guard: How can you be so relaxed at a time like this!?
Text left of the guard: But we don't even know what we should be nervous about.
Guard 2: Ow.
Guard 2: S-sorry.
