Chapter 5: Charge! Into the mafia hideout.

text: Are they serious?

Murasaki: It's here...?

Nice: Yeah... the Gate family's hideout.

Hajime: One, two, three, four
five.

03

Nice: Right! A 5-storey building!
This is entirely the mafia's nest.
It's the most dangerous place in all of Yokohama, Hajime-chan!
Murasaki: Then how are you so careless...
Are you... serious about this...?

Nice: Of course.
It's a serious request.

Sayuri: Half a year ago...
on an international flight, there was an explosion.
However, no one knew how explosives could have been brought on board of the plane...

Sayuri: It may seem like it's false but

04

Sayuri: That case
is what caused the boss use Shizuku's powers...

Sayuri: and tomorrow at 3 o'clock
at the port, there will be a big transaction...

05

Sayuri: There, the boss wants to
make Shizuku use here Minimum again...

Murasaki: I see...
You planned to write off that transaction at the port as part of the 'kidnapping' case by calling it a ransom transfer, huh?

Sayuri: Indeed... That's part of the lie.
In order to portray the boss as the client.

06

Sayuri: But... this is really a personal request of mine, a betrayal against my boss...
this is my truthful wish...!

Sayuri: At tomorrow's transaction...

Sayuri: before the boss makes her use her power
I beg you to rescue her...

07

Nice: Two guards at the entrance huh...
Hajime: Easy

Murasaki: I can't grasp this.

Murasaki: No matter how you look at it, it's impossible... going out to save her now, instead of tomorrow?
Nice: Well, wait and see.

Nice: Hajime-chan.
Hajime: Yup

Hajime: Here I go.

Murasaki: Huh?

08

Sayuri: ...Now?
You mean, right now...?

Nice: Yes indeed, miss Akatsuki.
I will accept your request.
But we will not save Shizuku at the place of transaction tomorrow.

Nice: We'll do it now, while we know for sure where she is.

09

Murasaki: H-hey! What do you think you're doing?
Nice: Hajime-chan will break through their lines.

Murasaki: Wha?

??: Who's this girl...
??: This is no place for a brat like you.

Nice: It's fine
'cause Hajime-chan is strong.

Nice: Sorry.

Nice: Alright, we're going in,
If you've got nothing to do you can tidy up these guys.

Sayuri: The underground shelter,
that's where they're keeping her...

12

Sayuri: There's only one entrance into the shelter.
The top floor is filled with armed mafia members...

Sayuri: that's where the boss's office is,
and the direct elevator there leads to the only entrance.

sfx: bam bam

boss: What's that sound?
sfx: click

13

sfx: squeeeak
Hajime: Oh, the boss.

boss: Wh-who the hell are you?!

Sayuri: If, for example...
you can reach the top floor,

14

Sayuri: for the elevator to the shelter you need an 8 digit code,
and the only ones who know it are the boss and his right-hand man.

Sayuri: Do you understand the situation...?
Nice: I see...

Murasaki: that would be

Murasaki: hopeless...
Nice: easy!

Murasaki; What?

Sayuri: Eh...

15

Murasaki: Easy...?!
sfx: pling

boss: A smoke round?!

sfx: shup

??: Woah!

??: cough cough
Brat...

??: Stop! Lower your guns!
You'll end up shooting your comrades!

16

??: Where did she go...
cough
??: cough
??: I can't see a thing...
text: Dammit...!

text: They must be after Shizuku...

text: But just one brat on her own...?
??: Boss! It's dangerous!
That brat,
she's a Minimum Holder!

boss: As I thought...
text: She's no normal brat...!

??: She's got the power to turn invisible!
She's invaded the elevator to the shelter!

boss: What?!

17

boss: You! To the elevator!
??: Y-yes!

sfx: taptaptap
sfx bubbles: bipbipbip

Nice: It would be nice...
sfx: beeeep

Nice: if it existed...

Nice: and invisibility Minimum.
??: Huh?!

How did you...
Guah!
Gah!!
