Of course the track rooms all the way in the back.
Target acquired.
![](12-Natsuno.png)
Yuki-chan!?
![](5-Yuki.png)
You got tall, Nat-chan.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Youre the one who told me to grow it out. Remember?
![](12-Natsuno.png)
Thats right.
![](12-Natsuno.png)
I was worried, you know!
![](5-Yuki.png)
Yeah, sorry. A lot of things happened after the move. But I just got transferred here. Todays my first day.
![](12-Natsuno.png)
Really!?
![](5-Yuki.png)
I knew you went to this school, too. Figured Id find you eventually. Its good to see your face again. Though I never took you for a track girl.
![](12-Natsuno.png)
Hehe. Oh, theres so many things I want to talk to you about!
Is it just me or did it just get a lot sleazier around here?
![](12-Natsuno.png)
Totally!
![](5-Yuki.png)
Keep working hard, Nat-chan.
![](22-Shu.png)
So youre finally here.
Ugh, lets just get right into this then.
![](5-Yuki.png)
I dont like being called by my name.
![](22-Shu.png)
But I just heard
![](5-Yuki.png)
Its fine if its her.
![](22-Shu.png)
Uh
You remember me, right?
![](22-Shu.png)
How about the guy you were destined to meet?
![](5-Yuki.png)
More like a random guy I bumped into in the shopping district. Dont get all weird about it.
![](5-Yuki.png)
I *said* quit calling me that.
![](31-Nenji.png)
Well, well, well. If it isnt Takamiya of Suzu High. Whatre you doing on our turf? Not tryin to stake a claim, are ya?
![](22-Shu.png)
She just transferred here, actually.
Consider Nenji Ogata
![](5-Yuki.png)
(Built up a reputation as a tough guy. All the way back in middle school, actually. Every delinquent around here knows who he is.)
Consider Shu Amiguchi
![](5-Yuki.png)
(Some flirty, rich kid who wont stop following me around. He seems to be close friends with a gang leader at Sakura.)
Consider Natsuno Minami
![](5-Yuki.png)
(Nat-chan. My childhood friend. We went our separate ways in middle school. But we still kept writing to each other.
Shes the only person I really care about.)
![](31-Nenji.png)
You got the wrong uniform on, sweetheart.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Its just because that damn four-eyes made a mistake! I mean
Obviously. Dont wanna go around wearing those girly skirts anyhow.
![](31-Nenji.png)
A transfer at this time of year?
![](22-Shu.png)
Maybe thats just how it happened for her.
![](31-Nenji.png)
Or maybe shes tryin to pull some shit.
![](31-Nenji.png)
But whyd she come here, of all places?
![](5-Yuki.png)
Why here?
![](39-Onishi.png)
Go on, then.

![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
A first-year at Suzugamine Girls High School. Entered a boys school and engaged multiple delinquents
Twelve of which were sent to the hospital.
Consider Hospitalization
![](5-Yuki.png)
(I went to Nigakuri to settle a score. And somehow the cops managed to sniff me out
One of those dicks mustve snitched.)
Use Hospitalization on Mysterious Man
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Three had bone fractures. The others, just bruises and scrapes.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Thats too bad.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Hm
![](5-Yuki.png)
Got something to say? Theyre the ones who laid their filthy hands on my friend. All I did was give em what they had coming. None of your damn business anyways.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Youre really earning your pay today, arent you? Well, go on. Rake me over the coals. See if I care.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
That seems like a waste of time for both of us. Allow me to get to the point.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Wed like to work with you.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Seriously?
![](5-Yuki.png)
Im not gonna be your stooge, and I dont work with cops. Go find some other sucker.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Currently serving a sentence for the murder of a gang member.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
There have been attempts on his life by other inmates. Not surprising, since the man he killed was a gang leader. I imagine its a matter of reputation for them. Your father has been assaulted twice, but he is alive. For now.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
It would be quite easy to transfer him to a safer facility. Contingent on your cooperation, of course.
![](5-Yuki.png)
God, I hate you already.
Consider Heita Takamiya
![](5-Yuki.png)
(Hes behind bars for stabbing a yakuza. Maybe hes nothing but a two-bit gangster, but
Hes the only real family I have.)
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Are you familiar with Shikishima Industries?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Rockets, planes, trains, shipseven home appliances. Not so publicly, it seems theyre also developing nuclear weapons. We suspect they are colluding with another nation to do so.
![](5-Yuki.png)
And what does that have to do with me?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
We began investigating
And found that several minors are connected to these weapons.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
And are being rounded up at a school affiliated with Shikishima.
Wait
is he talking about Sentinels?
Consider Weapons and Children
![](5-Yuki.png)
(So theyre using kids to make nuclear weapons? This shit sounds ridiculous.)
Consider Shikishima Industries
![](5-Yuki.png)
(Shikishima
Its that company with all those commercials for TVs and fridges. So theyre making weapons too?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Do you have any questions for me?
Use Shikishima Industries on Mysterious Man
![](5-Yuki.png)
Why dont you just bust into Shikishima yourselves?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Wed prefer not to have this go public. And the less the police are involved, the better.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Wait. If youre not the cops, then who the hell are you guys?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
We are a special investigations unit. Government-established and affiliated. Some might call us spies. I am director of the SIU. And your superior.
Oh great, another fucking SIU director. Joy.
Consider Special Investigations Unit
![](5-Yuki.png)
(That damn four-eyes
He says theyre some spy agency. Its short for Special Investigations Unit. They may not be cops
But theyre honestly all the same to me.)
Use Weapons and Children on SIU Chief
![](5-Yuki.png)
But what do these kids have to do with it?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Im glad to see Ive piqued your interest. Take a look at those documents on the table. Its a list of their names.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Class 1-B, Iori Fuyusaka. Class 2-A, Renya Gouto. More Class 1
Kisaragi
Kurabe
![](5-Yuki.png)
But why her?
Oh hey, a new familiar face! Hows it going, Shinonome?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Allow me to introduce you.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
She is another undercover investigator. And your superior. Just as she did
You will be transferring to Sakura High School. Well handle the paperwork.
![](5-Yuki.png)
I havent agreed to any of this shit yet.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Yes, she is.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Hey, Im talkin to you!
![](78-Ryoko.png)
She doesnt look like she knows much.
Yuki decides shes had enough of this.
Yeah, thats what I just said.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Do you accept your assignment?
![](78-Ryoko.png)
I think its safe to say were not getting through to her.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Its her destiny, after all.
![](5-Yuki.png)
*sigh* Where are you, Nat-chan?
Whats going on with Natsuno? Is she not here?
Oh, its Megumi! Isnt she in the same class as Natsuno? Lets ask her if she knows anything.
Megumi seems to be staring at Juro through the classroom window like a total creep. So, not doing anything important. Lets bother her!
![](5-Yuki.png)
That right?
![](96-Megumi.png)
Yes
Why do you ask?
![](5-Yuki.png)
Well
Use Natsuno Minami on Class 1-C Student
Oh hey, Juro! Whats up?
Bye, Juro!
![](5-Yuki.png)
Have you heard anything?
![](96-Megumi.png)
The teacher just said she was out sick.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Did they hear from her directly?
![](96-Megumi.png)
I dont know.
And so, having missed Juro leaving, Megumi walks off sadly. Great job, us!
At the same time, Iori is running up to join Miwako. Wonder if they know anything?
![](105-Iori.png)
Do you need something?
![](108-Miwako.png)
Iori-chan! Any news?
Music: Bad Omen (Mitsuhiro Kaneda)
![](108-Miwako.png)
Stop by Natsuno-chans house again?
![](5-Yuki.png)
Got a sec?
Talk about Natsuno Minami
![](5-Yuki.png)
Takamiya. But thats beside the point. I want to know whats going on with Natsuno. Why hasnt she been coming to school?
![](105-Iori.png)
It sounds like she hasnt been at home either. We went to her house yesterday. But her mom just kept apologizing over the intercom
.
![](108-Miwako.png)
The police were there, too.
![](5-Yuki.png)
W-Well, thats worrying
Thanks for letting me know.
![](108-Miwako.png)
Usami-chan!
![](105-Iori.png)
Its okay. Lets get going.
Consider Cops at the Minami House
![](5-Yuki.png)
(And those cops
Or whatever they are. What were they doing there?)
![](78-Ryoko.png)
You remember your orders, dont you? Youre supposed to keep a low profile.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Hm, I cant recall
![](78-Ryoko.png)
Maybe youve forgotten about your father, too.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Tch.
![](5-Yuki.png)
What?
Use Cops at the Minami House on Ryoko Shinonome
![](78-Ryoko.png)
Theyre agents with the SIU. In any case, Natsuno Minami isnt your concern. Shes a part of my assignment. So stay out of my way. Are we clear?
Consider Special Investigations Unit
![](5-Yuki.png)
(
What could have happened to Nat-chan? I bet that four-eyed bastard has some answers. Time to do what I do best.)
Music: Between The Lines (Kikuchi Yukinori)
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
I thought I made it clear that you are not to contact me.
![](5-Yuki.png)
I need to know what happened to Natsuno Minami. And I know you have answers.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Teenagers run away from home all the time.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Thats what the police say, but the school insists shes out sick. Looks like nobody can get their stories straight. So which is it, huh? Im not an idiot, you know.
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Your suspicions are not unfounded. But our investigation is still ongoing. I dont have a clear answer, myself. We dont know where she is, or even if shes still alive. The evidence so far points to kidnapping.
![](5-Yuki.png)
Who the hell would want to kidnap her? Shikishima?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
They could have done it without anyone realizing she was gone. Thered be no need to draw such attention to themselves. No, someone else is behind this.
![](5-Yuki.png)
And thats who Shinonome is looking for?
![](45-SIU_Chief.png)
Someone at the school could be behind this. Its possible they are there even now. In any case, this situation is dangerous. I suggest you keep your nose out of it. Shinonome-kun has this under control. As for you, Takamiya-kun
You will continue to monitor the other students, as instructed. Have I made myself clear?
And so ends Yuki Takamiyas prologue.
