A dangerous group that could throw the world into chaos?
I can't believe that.
When people get carried away with rumors,
they lose sight of reality.
She's just a Snake like all the rest.
All they do is slither clumsily on the ground.
Defend the perimeter! Protect the escort car!
Go! Go! Go!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Don't miss, Cummings!
Leave it to me.
Delta 64. This is Theta 25.
The Snakes have been sighted! Requesting air support! Over!
Keep shooting!
What's happening? Hey!
Nee-sama!
If you do things for personal desires rather than an objective,
Alphard, you will be invincible.
Sorry.
Even though I was following...
My senses really have become dull.
Yeah, sorry, but I'm going to call it quits.
I have something I have to protect now.
This is insane.
This girl, a monster?
Is that a birthmark?
Sorry for the wait! Here's the next batch of photos!
What are you, a delivery girl?
I think this one is the best.
Mino-san?
Sorry, I was just surprised that you didn't seem nervous at all.
When did you take that?
I took it as we were escaping from some foolish people.
Foolish people?
What's your relation with that girl?
We're friends.
I see...
"A Mysterious Superhuman Beauty and a Sudden Strange Gunfight."
If all goes well, this could even overshadow the summit meeting.
And the one I'm depending on is...
Oosawa Maria.
She's a victim of the Shibuya bioterrorism attack two years ago.
That was an unforgettably critical point in your life, too, wasn't it?
"Ua" means "flower" in Swahili.
But it also carries the meaning of "death", hence it being the name of a weapon for slaughter.
It's known as the Ua virus.
After twelve hours of being infected by the virus,
the body will bleed everywhere except for the bone and the skeletal muscles.
It's said that the mortality rate is 100%.
Furthermore, the terrorist action that utilized the Ua virus was perpetrated by an armed organization from the Middle East.
The one abducted and infected with the Ua virus
was she, Oosawa Maria.
Her father was the head of the Ookoshi Pharmaceutical Research Lab, Oosawa Kenji.
She only survived thanks to the vaccine that her father developed.
If I had continued to pursue the case...
About Oosawa Maria...
She said she wanted to be a photographer, so she came to us for an interview.
Using your connections, get her a spot!
Allow me to take care of her.
Seriously?
You really are the man, Minorikawa.
No problem.
Then I'll take my leave.
By the way, perhaps it was caused by the shock of what happened,
but Oosawa Maria has a slight case of amnesia.
She remembers almost nothing about the event.
Well then, I'm depending on you.
Watching a real man's back is quite something.
Me?
You have a nice back.
Hello, I'm Touyama from Heaven's Publishing.
Thank you for your help all the time...
Let me see...
Canaan is a little shy.
And she likes sweets.
I was shoved with a huge burden...
...and I think her shoe size is around 22.5.
I'm not asking about those things!
Oh yeah! Canaan gave me a stuffed doll.
Look.
It had a hole on its head, so I tried tying a knot with yarn to patch it.
Disgusting...
The corpses from a few days ago were, unfortunately, the Unblooms we were protecting.
One more thing.
With the help of her associates, Alphard successfully escaped from the CIA escort car.
I figured that would happen.
You're diligent today.
Guns are simple.
A mere pull of their trigger can end things.
They're not complicated like humans.
Do you have friends?
Who knows?
I have friends.
Be more cautious.
Snakes are already targeting you-
So I am being targeted.
How's the Snakes' natural enemy and the representative of the Iron Clash doing?
She won't betray us even if we don't have surveillance on her.
She doesn't seem like the type to use her brain anyway.
After all, she is a woman. So she thinks differently.
I bet she hasn't even had a period yet.
I wonder if we can let her and Alphard end themselves together.
I don't like her.
That's right. We'll completely sell out all of our one million stocks next week.
This kind of selling without a basis is too dangerous.
SAC will notice us.
Note: SAC - Securities Association of China.
They'll think I'm a insider?
What else would they think? A terrorist?
Nee-sama, are you all right?
Nee-sama, that little kid is in Shanghai.
What should we do?
She can be easily erased, but torturing her wouldn't be a bad idea, either.
I'll slit her throat.
Then I'll rip her guts out.
Cummings.
How's New York's movement?
Yes.
Nee-sama.
The Anti-Terrorism Meeting is right before our eyes.
Everything has to be done in the proper order.
Here.
Then why did you keep your going to such a remote place alone from us?
Cummings.
Yes.
How's R&B's stock trading going?
According to the reports in New York, 200,000 dollars have already been...
You're hilarious!
What's happened? Hello!?
What is it?
Oh, the daughter of that annoying old man?
Just kill her.
Understood.
Sorry for the wait!
Table two is ready to order!
Got it!
I feel like I've seen her before...
What huge meat buns...
Rather than this, you need to tell me about Canaan in detail.
It's like I'm an idol being interviewed!
Ah?
You're not eating until you respond.
All right! Two orders of dumplings!
Don't stick the store's meat buns on your chest!
I just wanted to make the customers happy.
They're eating right now while we're in a car.
It's really tasty.
Yes. This situation is delicious.
How did you two become such good friends?
Cat's Cradle!
I taught her how to do the Cat's Cradle because I happened to be carrying some yarn.
You just happened to have it?
It's an important travel companion.
I became friends with the locals through Japanese culture.
Sounds pretty shady to me.
Next question.
How did you two meet?
I was being bothered by some guys while traveling, and she saved me.
How cliché...
Then how did she save you?
Hm. Let's see...
Bam! Crash! Pow! Bam-
What the...?
Y-You bastard! The hell are you doing?
Where are you!? Where are you!?
Not good! Not good!
I won't let them escape.
It's that old man.
Catch.
O-Oosawa.
Yes?
Run!
Okay!
Wait! Pay for your damage!
This way!
What the heck is going on?
Foolish people...
Taxi!
Damn it.
All right!
Mino-san! Hurry up!
Aggressive.
Cars don't stop on a dime, you know.
Please hurry.
No can do.
Mino-san!
Please! this is an emergency!
Listen up, there are no easygoing taxis in this country.
Yes!
Capture them! Capture them!
Catch.
I'm running low.
This song was sung by an idol during the festival!
Oh, you know her?
She hasn't become popular yet, but I'm cheering for her.
It's a good song, isn't it?
Yep.
Are you guys unable to feel tension?
Wrong! That way is...
It's a dead end!
Don't worry.
Sometimes a man... just has to keep running, no matter what.
This is for Nene-chan!
From here?
Chinese style! High Tension!
We're alive. China Chi.
Not over yet!
Canaan.
It seems you've been targeted by Snakes, Maria.
Bad guy discovered!
It's Canaan. Yes... Yes...
This time just play tag with that bad guy.
Catch.
Just wait!
Did they switch targets?
Canaan, I'll be staying here for a week!
I'm staying at BaLong hotel in room 611!
Come play next time!
Let's go to the Bund after you finish up!
You guys... We're in an emergency right now.
Didn't I say it before? She's just normal girl.
If she were a normal girl, she wouldn't jump off a building!
How does a normal taxi jump down from a building?
That's the question.
Ah...
Hurry! Hurry!
Wait up! Wait up!
Stop it! Don't go alone!
Wait up! Wait up!
I caught up!
I'm going to go play with Maria.
Play!?
Like this!?
No. I saw it on television before.
I can't hit you at all!
Japanese girls usually go drink tea and go shopping.
Oh, yeah.
And also,
they play Cat's Cradle.
Onii-chan...
Ah!?
What!?
What the hell happened?
Oh no! My room!
The white kitty became a red kitty.
You said that you liked dolls because they don't have a color,
right, Canaan?
But this city is crowded with all sorts of emotions.
Don't you feel suffocated, Canaan?
Damn it! They kicked us out. It's not even our fault.
Why?
Why are we being targeted?
Only the photos' negative film was taken.
The room was colored with red,
and that mark...
Why don't we just contact the Embassy?
How can we do that?
I just smelled the aroma of a big story.
How can I miss this chance?
I see, meow.
That's right, meow-
Meow?
There, there.
You really are carefree.
Now's not the time to be playing with cats.
Meow?
Mino-san?
What's wrong, meow?
I-Is that cat...
a Fortune Cat?

Worthless Game
A trivial matter.
Cured, forgiven time.
Just one word forgiven.

Just one... forgiven.
Don't say that.
Murderer.
