Title: File 61 Final Announcement

Hide: Eh...?
Hide: I...
Hide: ...I...

SP: Minister Kujou!!

Mako: H-Hide-senpai...
Mako: That's...! It couldn't be...!!

26

SP: Sir!!
SP: Get the minister out of here now!
SP: Okay!
SP: This way...

Kujou: Wait, Hikita.

Kujou: His condition clearly isn't normal.
Hide: *cough*
Hide: *cough*
Hide: *cough*
Hide: *cough*
Mako: Hide-senpai!
Kujou: If he's infected with something, we'll have already been infected.

Kujou: If we carelessly go outside...
Kujou: there's a possibility it'll spread.

SP: B-but...!!

27

J: What a wonderful decision.

J: Ha ha.
J: I guess I should expect that of a big-shot politician.

J: Hello,
J: Minister of Justice Kujou.

Fujimaru: That's "J"'s voice...
Minami: Did he say...Minster of Justice Kujou...?

28

Fujimaru: Otoya's grandfather...
Fujimaru: is here at the school!?

J: Your wise decision was the correct one.

J: What I'd like for you to know is...
J: that all of you there have been infected with "Bloody-X".

29

J: It's a genocide virus with a probability of death of almost 100%.
J: As you said, if you were to carelessly go outside, it would spread.

Fujimaru: "Bloody-X"...!!?
Minami: Someone's been infected!?
Minami: Here...?

Hide: Bloody...?
Hide: Then this is...
Hide: what was in that video...?

Hide: N-no...

Kujou: So you were listening in on our conversation...

30

Hide: N-no...
Hide: ...No...!!

SFX: Kshh
SFX: Kshh

SFX: Kshh
SFX: Kshh

Kujou: You...
SP: Sir!

Hide: Why me...?
Hide: Why...?
Hide: Why...?

31

Otoya: Hide!!

Hide: Club...President...
Hide: Kujou...
Hide: H...
Hide: Help me...

SP: Sir.
Kujou: Otoya!
Kujou: Stay back!!
Kujou: You heard that school-wide broadcast, right!?
Kujou: Get out of here. You need to get far away from here!

Otoya: Grandfather...!
Otoya: Hide...

Haruka: Otoya-san...

32

Otoya: ...Kh.

J: Running...huh?

J: Running is useless.
J: He doesn't intend on leaving the school.
J: And no matter where he hides, he'll just be waiting for the virus to spread throughout the whole school bit by bit.

Kujou: ...Who are you?
Kujou: From your voice, you must be quite young.

33

J: I...
J: am known as "J".

Kujou: We've received the reports.
Kujou: You're one of the subordinates of Kamishima Simon...who is the founder of the cult responsible for the police headquarters poison gas terrorist attack and who has been sentenced to death.
Kujou: You're a terrorist.
J: I don't care what you think of me.
J: But we have something we believe in.

Kujou: What...
Kujou: are you after?

J: I would like to make...
J: a deal with you.

Kujou: This country's government doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
Small text in the right of J's bubble: Hee hee
J: I thought you'd say that.
J: But...well, can we quit with the public position. I doubt this country is that strong.

J: ...Oh, by the way...
J: Did the deal you made with Orihara Maya not count or something?

34

J: And...
J: The deal we want is nothing much.
Kujou: ...I'm listening.

J: Have you...
J: guessed what it might be?

J: We want our leader,
J: Kamishima Simon, to be released from the special prison he's in.
J: Within an hour from now.
J: That's all we demand, Minister Kujou.

J: If you accept our terms...
J: we'll give you an antivirus that has a high probability of stopping the virus's symptoms from presenting themselves.

35

J: You have no time to hesitate.
J: The time from being infected to showing symptoms is 2 hours in the worst case...
J: and 3 hours in the best case.

J: And once you show symptoms...
J: the odds of surviving are less than 0.1%.

SP: A power outage...!?

36

Michael: We can't broadcast in the school!
J: What caused this?

Michael: The power's out throughout the entire school!
Michael: We can't use the equipment in the broadcasting room.

J: Falcon.

37

Minami: A power outage?
Minami: Did you do this?
Fujimaru: Yeah.
Fujimaru: I hacked into a nearby transformer facility and cut off the power going to Mishiro Academy.
Fujimaru: And I locked their operation terminal, so it'll take them a while to get it back up even if someone notices it.

Fujimaru: This'll have stopped the jamming device, so we can use our cells and radios!
Fujimaru: We can contact everyone here!!

Minami: What a reckless thing...!
Text left of Minami's bubble: The minister was in the middle of negotiations!
Fujimaru: To be putting out such powerful electromagnetic waves for this long, it was unlikely that the jamming device was battery powered.
Fujimaru: So the quick and easy way to take it down was to cut off the power.

Fujimaru: ...Okay.
Fujimaru: I can use my wireless card! That means I can move around, too.
Minami: Speaking of the transformer facility, you hacked into it in only a minute and it's connected to a place the terrorists are targeting.
Minami: This country doesn't notice when it's in a crisis, does it!?

38

Fujimaru: No.
Fujimaru: The security was a lot tougher than I expected.
Fujimaru: But I just hacked into a bigger transformer substation that used the same security system the other day.
Fujimaru: Using the same method, it was really easy...

Fujimaru: So that was it.
Fujimaru: That's why they had me do that...
Minami: Huh?
Minami: What are you talking about?

Fujimaru: ...Later.
Fujimaru: We have more important things to do now.

Kirishima: Minami.
Kirishima: If you hear this, call me back on my cell.

Minami: ...Hello?
Minami: Kirishima...is that armed team coming yet?
SFX: Rinnng
SFX: Rinnng

39

Fujimaru: At that time...they used Haruka as a hostage to get me to hack into that transformer substation.
Flashback bubble: It's a transformer substation.
Fujimaru: And the enemy never really did anything with it.
Fujimaru: Now I know "why"...
Flashback Fujimaru: And...
Flashback Fujimaru: with that...
Flashback Fujimaru: I've captured it!!

Fujimaru: But what is their "objective"...!?
SFX: Rinnng
SFX: Rinnng

SFX: Rinng...
Otoya: Fujimaru!!
Fujimaru: Otoya!

Fujimaru: Did you hear that broadcast? He said there's "Bloody-X" here...
Otoya: Hide was vomiting blood in the infirmary.

Fujimaru: What!?
Otoya: Hide was infected with "Bloody-X".
Otoya: Probably by the terrorist that infiltrated his family.

40

Hide: Fujimaru-kun...
Hide: I'm gonna be fine...
Hide: right?
Fujimaru: ...Hide...

Otoya: Since you heard the broadcast, you'll have heard.
Otoya: They've been trying again to rescue the founder of their cult from the beginning.

Fujimaru: Damn them!
Fujimaru: Are you okay!? Were you infected...!?
Otoya: I wasn't nearby when Hide started showing symptoms.

Haruka: Otoya-san...

Hide: Club...President Kujou...
Hide: Help me...

Otoya: ...I'm most likely fine.

Fujimaru: I-is that so? Thank goodness...!

Fujimaru: Dad, Aoi, and Anko weren't there, were they...?
Otoya: Ryuunosuke-san and Asada weren't there, but Anzai was infected.
Otoya: And it wasn't just Anzai...Stay calm and listen...

41

Otoya: Haruka-chan...
Otoya: was there.

Fujimaru: Y...
Fujimaru: You're kidding, right?
Fujimaru: Why would she be...?
Fujimaru: Why would...?

Otoya: Calm down, Fuji-
Fujimaru: Noooo!!

Minami: Calm down!!

42

Minami: "Third-i" still has some of the antivirus left over.
Minami: If we can get that here, there's a good chance we can save them.

Minami: If we go along with their deal and release Kamishima Simon, we'll be in danger of a country-wide viral terrorist attack.
Minami: There's only one thing we can do.
Minami: Bring the antivirus here and give it to Minister Kujou and the others.
Minami: And if we can, we should do it without the enemy knowing about it.

Minami: If we can manage that, we can capture all the terrorists at once when they think they'll be getting their leader back!!
Fujimaru: I don't care about the terrorists or Japan!!
Fujimaru: All I care about is rescuing my little sister!!

Fujimaru: ...Why are you getting so impatient, Minami-san.
Fujimaru: I'm the one who received a shock!

Minami: I'm pissed off...!!

43

Minami: Some new piece-of-shit government official with the right to command "Third-i" seems to have taken over.
Minami: It looks like our opinions aren't going to get through over there.

Fujimaru: What...?
Minami: For now all we'll get is a group bringing us the left-over antivirus.
Minami: But we're not up against idiots...I doubt a unit will be able to get in here easily.

Minami: Not to mention that their commander is no amateur...
Fujimaru: Agreed...And they have a pro hit man...

Minami: Fujimaru-kun, you call Vice Chief Takagi and I'll get in contact with Kanou-san.
Fujimaru: O...
Fujimaru: Okay...

Minami: This is Minami.
Minami: Kanou-san, please respond.
Kanou: Oh.
Kanou: The radio's working.

Kanou: Is this the work of our genius hacker?

44

Ryuunosuke: Minami, huh...? So you're fine...
Minami: Yes.
Minami: But the situation isn't good.

Minami: Whether we get out of this or not is dependent on all of us working together.
Ryuunosuke: So we need a tactical commander who can gather the information and have a constant understanding of the situation?

Minami: Yes.
Minami: I was thinking...
Minami: that the one to be that commander should be Fujimaru-kun.
Fujimaru: Eh?
