Mikuru: Hah
Mikuru: Hah

Mikuru: There!


085
*sfx*

Mikuru: No, from the other side!

Mikuru: Kyaa

Mikuru: Damn, I can't figure out his location.
Mikuru: If I think he's in front, he comes from the side... Feels like he's attacking from all sides...

Mikuru: He's blending himself in perfectly with the scenery. It's the first time I've seen stalking this perfect.
Mikuru: He's... melting into the trees. It's like... the trees...


086
Mikuru: The trees themselves are against me!!

Mikuru: Just keep moving.
Mikuru: I can do this.


087
Mikuru: !

Narrator: Mikuru was being completely cornered... not just physically, but also mentally.

Mikuru: Calm down. Calm down, Mikuru.
Narrator: At first, she was supposed to head towards the car, but she was driven into the heart of the mountain instead.

Narrator: She avoided danger zones by running from The Shu's presence, which resulted
Mikuru: Shit, he got me. Nothing but bad timing.
Narrator: in her arriving at this room... that's right. It's...


088
Narrator: the goal site!!

Shu: Pursuit training completed. We will now enter the finish.

Mikuru: Ku...kuku
Mikuru: Wow...

Mikuru: He's amazing. Incredible...
Mikuru: I can't get this kind of experience with the average criminal... probably.
Mikuru Small: Kuku


089
Mikuru: Suh...
Mikuru: Hah...
Mikuru: Suh...
Mikuru: Hah...
*Note: Inhaling and exhaling

Mikuru: That's right.
Mikuru: I just have to think of it as the best kind of training for me.


090
*sfx*
Narrator: The Shu thought about the meaning of Mikuru's unanticipated actions for just a mere moment. And that's all it took.

Narrator: In a flash, Mikuru's speed was full throttle!


091
Mikuru: If this is the goal, then he'll also stop. He'll come to get me!

Mikuru: I'll bet my life on that moment!

Mikuru: Guh

Mikuru: Kyaa


092
Mikuru: Shit, I failed...
Mikuru: I wanted to stop his feet, but he's got a bulletproof jacket...

Mikuru: To make things worse... he grazed my stomach.
Mikuru Small: Owow
Mikuru: I wonder if this also counts as school fees.

Mikuru: At least I found him.

Shu: Guu!

Shu: Resuming training.


093
Mikuru: Hii


094
Shu: ...

Mikuru: It's no good. I still can't match his stalking skills. He's noticing my intent before I shoot!
Mikuru: I'll watch every move he makes, and then steal his techniques!


095
Narrator: Hanging there between life and death... Mikuru remembered.
Narrator: Her past self...

Narrator: The person she was before meeting Shiraishi...
Narrator: The person she was before going to Japanese school...
Narrator: The person who wanted only to become strong!


096
Narrator: And 1 hour passed...
*sfx*
*sfx*

*sfx*

*sfx*
*sfx*

Narrator: Mikuru

Narrator: made herself completely invisible!


097
Narrator: She just about perfectly copied The Shu's stalking. Simply put, a formidable genius.
Narrator: But she created a unique situation where she can't see her enemy even while she trying to arrest him.

Narrator: If her concentration faltered even just a little, she would die! While dealing with her panic, staying like that for 30 minutes...
*sfx*
Narrator: was her physical limit.

Mikuru: 1 magazine and a bullet in the chamber...

Mikuru: I have to push him to his limits... or I can't beat him!

Shu: ...


098
Mikuru: Time for the showdown...

Narrator: It was just a chicken race now.

Narrator: Whoever hit the breaks first was the loser...


099
Narrator: The enemy was

Mikuru: Hah
Mikuru: Hah

Narrator: Panic!!

Shu: Ha*
Shu: Fu*

Mikuru: Hah

Shu: Fu*
Mikuru: Hah!
*Note: All of these were said in English in the raw.


100
Narrator: And the one who stepped on the breaks first
Narrator: was this guy right here.


101
*sfx*

Mikuru: ZERO-IN

Mikuru: OHHHHHHHHH
Mikuru: BURST!!


102
Mikuru: Hah
Mikuru: Hah
Mikuru: Hah

Mikuru: Ah...

Mikuru: I... beat him...

Mikuru: Hah...


103
Mikuru: Guh...
*sfx*

Shu: You're just like me.


104
Hisamaki: Suicide, huh...
Hisamaki: You really did well to survive. Pretty amazing.
Mikuru: I'm surprised that you're still alive, instructor.

Hisamaki: Me too! Considering what retarded camouflage it was.
Sign: Oil drum
Hisamaki BG: Huh? Where am I? Why's it so heavy?!
Hisamaki: How the heck did you get me in there?

Hisamaki: ...Geez, ya shoulda run like I said.
Hisamaki: How you can make a face like that after going through what you did?
Mikuru: Eh?

Hisamaki: Mikuru, you're
Hisamaki: smiling.


105
Mikuru: Eh?

Narrator: 2 days later

Kou: This is The Shu's room. It's something, ain't it? Nothing but training machines...


106
Kou: ...You okay, Mikuru-san?
Kou BG: Maybe you had better rest...
Mikuru: No, it's nothing. Sorry, Shiraishi-kun. Even though crime lab is done here, I had you open it for me.

Mikuru: Can you tell me about him?

Kou: ...Sure. He's got an unique background. He was 49 years old. By the time he was about 5, he had already held his a gun. He was a decorated veteran.

Kou: 4 years ago, he was scouted by Minkei and joined... That was in recent years. Aside from that, he also received wounds in battle.
*sfx*
Kou: He'd like to look at what the experts got before looking at the crime scene.
Mikuru: So, The Shu refused to go.

Shu: Training program E will begin.


107
Kou: ...Exactly.
Kou Bottom: He was always hung up about that.
Kou Left: He was adamant about not going to it.

Kou: But from his childhood, he did nothing but train with guns. He raced around the battlefields and finally aimed at being the strongest.
*sfx*
Kou: And it all ended with suicide... kinda sad if you ask me.

Mikuru: It wasn't suicide.
Mikuru: Not for him at least.
Kou: Eh?

Mikuru: From the day he held a gun, life and death...
Mikuru: weren't very different to him.

Mikuru: The problem lies in how he got the gun.
Mikuru: That's all.


108
Hisamaki: Yup, yup. It's different from how everyone is saying you knocked off Minkei's active No.1.
Kou: Ah, I didn't see you there, Instructor Hisamaki.

Hisamaki: He was satisfied with his death.
Hisamaki: Don't let it get to you, Nazume.

Kou: ?
Kou: Ah, but, Mikuru-san won in the end.
Kou: It's amazing, don't you think?!

Shu BG: You're just like me...
Mikuru: Is... is it?
Mikuru Small: Don't say that.


109
Mikuru: So, you came all this way just to tell me that, Instructor?
Mikuru: Nice of you to worry about me like that. <3
Hisamaki: Nice? Who's nice?

Mikuru: Fuh

*sfx*

Kou: M-Mikuru-san? H-hey, wait up...
Hisamaki: Shiraishi...


110
Hisamaki: Let her be alone
Hisamaki: for a little bit.
