It sure is a beautiful day, huh, Gramps?

SLICE SLICE DANCE

Hey, who are you?

Freeze! Show a visitor pass or employee ID, or I'll--

I'll leave the rest to you, Gaku.

What? I'm doing this alone?

Is there anything you wanna mention to me?

They only have restrooms on odd floors, so be careful.

Aight.

Intruders detected.

All combatants, collect your weapons and head to the first floor.

Non-combatants, to the shelters

- located on each floor. - Intruders?

No way, you serious?

The intruders are two individuals.

Two?

- Both are armed. - Useless guards.

Motives are unknown.

They must be idiots.

Wanna bet on which department kills them?

Aren't you going?

I'll pass. I've got a lot of work to do.

Besides, we're on the third floor. There's no way they'll get--

What the?

Awesome.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

What floor am I on now?

Fire away, guys. Shoot him up.

Roger.

And in three, two, one...

Practice, over.

Aw, shit.

I shoulda skipped work today.

Pull yourself together, Takebe.

You gotta set an example for the young guys.

Mr. Inoda!

How many dead?

I'd say about 40 from the first to third floors,

in the two minutes since intrusion.

So, a monster.

That felt good.

Did you hear that noise?

Yeah.

It's good to see you, Boss.

Did you lose some weight?

Good to see you, Uda.

Did you bring Gaku of all people?

Yeah.

That idiot's getting carried away.

COLD GREEN TEA - COLD OSHIRUKO SODA

I'm sorry we had to have you act like a spy for a whole year.

Where are the others?

Downstairs, standing guard.

The JAA pays really well and has great employee benefits.

The work environment was way better than yours.

Make any friends?

I did, actually.

But they work in R&D on the third floor,

so they'd be dead by now.

Sorry about that.

No worries.

So, we're initiating the plan?

It's time to hit reset on the rotten JAA.

I'll create a new order for this world.

Stop right there!

This building is now under Mr. Slur's control.

If you wanna live, get lost.

Something's here...

That old guy gives me goosebumps.

Huh?

Nope. No way.

Do you think that's Gaku?

What a surprise. The Ghost of the JAA lives.

I suppose we should hurry.

Ouch.

You said you'd weave a web when we landed!

I did. For myself.

It's you...

Uzuki, you were alive?

Long time no see, Sakamoto.

It's a bit dismaying to see that an old friend has gotten fat.

He knows Mr. Sakamoto?

Say hi to Sakamoto for me.

It's him... from back then!

Please forget that old name of mine.

I prefer the name Slur.

Slur? It's this guy?!

Why did you put a bounty on me now, after all this time?

What are you after?

That's a lot of questions.

I don't remember you being so talkative.

Mr. Sakamo--

No! You can't sever my connections!

What?

Apart!

You let him slip away?

I did?

Mr. Sakamoto, you're bleeding!

Shin...

Both of you, stay back.

- Let me-- - I said stay back!

This is mine.

They say you never know when it's your turn to die.

Right, Sakamoto?

What's wrong? Come get me.

Wasting time is wasting life, you know.

Mr. Sakamoto!

Boss, shall I take care of it?

It's okay. You must be tired from all the work.

Also, I'm kind of enjoying this. It's like a reunion.

Don't you think, Sakamoto?

Would you like to try and kill me again?

Looking at you now reminds me of my young self.

The naivety is aggravating to watch.

What just happened?

Those with half-baked ideals end up bringing misfortune to those around them.

"Embody clear killing intent."

They taught us that at the JCC, remember?

I wasn't top of the class like you and your friends,

but after graduating, I finally understand.

Killing requires no emotion.

Let me show you an example.

Hmm?

I'm so sorry, Mr. Sakamoto! It's my fault...

Young boy.

You'd do better if you took your life, rather than apologize.

Isn't that right, Sakamoto?

At this rate, you will die, and so will these two.

I know you've been out of the game but you can't be that out of touch.

Come on, give me your all.

That's the only path left.

I'm not a hit man anymore.

Letting me live means you kill someone else.

I heard you have a daughter, Sakamoto.

This threatening aura...

There it is.

Welcome back,

Taro Sakamoto.

Don't screw it up this time.

Mr. Sakamoto!

Nope. No way.

Things were just getting fun.

Nah, man.

You didn't tell me about that crazy old guy.

Uda, would you?

On it.

I don't need it.

Let's go, Gaku.

Man, what a battle.

C'mon, Boss, I wanna see you crush 'em.

Give me a break.

Not so fast.

I won't let you get away.

It was good seeing you, Sakamoto.

Bye for now.

I owe you,

Uda.

Oh, no. Don't mention it.

Mr. Sakamoto! I'm so sorry.

You took off your apron for us.

I'm all right.

You're...

Come on, Boss,

let's ditch this place.

Losing an arm messes with your balance.

They... left?

That day in September, 20XX,

176 were killed,

three were injured,

and one went missing.

It had been six months since Slur's hits on hit men had begun,

and the number of professional hit men in Japan

had been reduced to a quarter.

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE ATTACK ON THE JAA

IKORAIZAKA HOSPITAL

We're here at Tokyo's new landmark, the Leaning Tower of Tokyo,

where many tourists are flooding the town,

disrupting the daily lives of the locals.

- Next up, the Bloodbath - Taro,

- Bake Off! - want some daifuku?

Yes, please.

Y'know, that body of yours looks like a daifuku, too.

Mr. Sakamoto, you're eating too much.

Are you lost?

I can't go in. How could I possibly show my face to him right now?

Young boy.

You'd do better if you took your life, rather than apologize.

After fighting that death row inmate,

I thought I got a little better at combat.

But at the JAA, I was nothing more than a burden.

Damn it.

I should at least leave this luxury fruit basket for him.

Why do you have to come with me?

Because you'll start a fight if you go alone, Hyo.

Hey there. How are you doin', Sakamoto?

What do you want?

Don't be like that.

Obviously, we came to visit our friend--

Cut the crap.

Sakamoto, we heard you came into contact with Slur.

Yes, I met him.

Nagumo, it was Uzuki. He's Slur.

Does that mean you failed to kill him that time?

I sure wish you were joking.

Hey, don't keep me in the dark. Who is it?

Uzuki is a classmate of Sakamoto and mine, back from the JCC days.

He didn't stand out, so I can't say I remember him much as a student.

But if he's a good hit man, why haven't I heard of him?

I only heard about you three,

Sakamoto, Nagumo, and Akao.

Most of it was bad reputation, but nonetheless...

Is that so? Well, we never heard your name in any rumors, Hyo.

I'm gonna kill you. I'm just a late bloomer!

Mr. Sakamoto's JCC years?

Anyway,

now that we know who he is, we'll take it from here.

Sorry to bother you, Sakamoto.

We're leaving already?

Wait. There's something I haven't told you yet.

What is it?

No more free intel.

Tell me what The Order knows.

I'll tell you in exchange for the information you have on Slur.

Let me make one thing clear.

We are not working on this together.

I heard you retired from the business and have a family now, right?

So if you stick your nose in this with a half-baked plan,

what happens to your wife and daughter when you die?

You act like a lone wolf, with that unbothered look on your face,

and I've always hated it.

I won't die. Don't assume I'd get killed.

How about I put you in your place?

My my, you're so big.

You know it's just a matter of time before you die, don't you?

Even if that were true,

as a father, there are times you can't back down.

I want to protect the people dear to me with my own two hands.

You can't trust anyone else, huh?

I used to think that.

But not anymore.

A magnetic force? The MRI! Damn it!

Hyo.

Please give me any information about Slur.

I want to protect my family.

I never would've dreamed of a day he'd be asking for my help.

Due to JAA rules, I can't leak classified information to a civilian.

But if I were you,

I'd probably look in the JCC Databank.

Thanks.

Hey! You're supposed to trade information!

You're so naive, Hyo. That's why you end up with the short end of the stick.

Shut up!

Sorry for all the racket.

It's all good.

Whoa!

That's quite a statement piece.

I'm gonna kill you.

I didn't think The Order had someone with a warm heart like that.

He's always been kind.

Oh, this! Uh, you see...

It's a get-well basket, but I failed to give it to you.

Why?

Because I was the one weighing you down.

I was too ashamed to see you.

In that moment, when Slur mentioned Hana,

I was so close to losing it. Your voice brought me back to my senses.

You're helping me all the time.

I'm counting on you.

C'mon, that's a line I want to hear for real!

Anyway, we now have a lead on how to get to Slur.

Shin, let's head to the JCC next.

Yes, sir!
