…let her escape!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah! Right!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I’m going to look for Nobunaga
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Captain Nobunanga!

Eh…?
Why’s it so quiet…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Michele!
Investigator Michele!

Captain!

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You’re OK!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Have you seen a guy called Reiichi?
Eh…?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…Sorry, I’m getting ahead of myself.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Reiichi…is a member of the Scissors.
Silver-grey hair-
.
.
.
.
......!
Oh, that guy!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
YOU RAN INTO HIM!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Y-yes,
I have.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
He said he was going to look for you, then disappeared…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That means you ran into him before I saw him.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Let’s leave that matter aside for now. Report the situation on your side.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
R…Roger that!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I just ran into Lawine from The Scissors…otherwise known as Alaya.
She disguised her identity to participate in the assessment.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Lawine…huh.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It seems like you’re not surprised?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I had my suspicions.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Her fighting ability is very high, yet she does not belong to any organization.
Despite all my investigations, I couldn’t find anything suspicious about her, which is even more suspicious.
.
.
.
.
.
So my guess is that her information was tampered with by external forces.
.
.
.
.
.
.
If it was The Scissors…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Could it be that the person who attacked Maddelena wasn’t Fuchsia,
But instead…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…ah, that.
.
.
.
.
.
At the time, I just watched the surveillance video and saw Fuchsia attacking Maddelena.
It’s highly likely that The Scissors falsified the data or disguised themselves in Fuchsia’s likeness.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
However, it seems like Bai Mo and the others knew the attacker wasn’t Fuchsia.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
They probably didn’t say it out loud, probably because of Urbino’s position and not wanting to confront The Scissors directly.
Or maybe it runs deeper than that...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
After all, that Bai Mo guy is Urbino’s leader,
And he's not an easy person to predict.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What about Lawine?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sorry, I let her get away…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
She contacted someone before she fled.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Then the warehouse suddenly exploded, I was knocked away by the blast,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
And Lawine was gone.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
There may be other Scissors members lurking nearby the facility in ambush positions, waiting for her instructions to blow up the warehouse.
The Scissors members who raided the facility earlier just retreated one after the other.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
What’s the purpose of The Scissors raiding this facility?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
That’s unclear.
What is clear is that this case is a targeted attack against PUS…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Why did they conduct this kind of high-profile attack-
AH! RIGHT!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Freya! How’s Freya doing!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Ah, that girl Kokona was carrying away?
She’s in the medical room.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
You said she might’ve gotten Collapse Syndrome? Although…
.
.
.
Yep! And Lawine also…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sorry, Nobunaga! I’ll explain everything later!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wait a second!
.
.
Clomp clomp
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Sigh…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
…PUS would never let this kind of thing slide.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Reiichi, what are you thinking…
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
SLAM!
.
.
FREYA--!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Wha…what’s going on here!?
What happened...!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Freya!? Kokona!? Where are you guys!?
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
Crackle, crackle
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

.
.
.
Boom... Boom…
