Eh... When the era name was changed to Seika,
in order... to arrest the spread of negative influences which would... harm the society,
Media Enhancement Act was... en...acted.
In order to protect the freedom of expression from the brutal... in-spection of the Media Enhancement Force,
libraries have adopted the military approach.
Conflicts between both parties in- in-ten-
Of-officer, how do you pronounce this?
Are you an idiot?!! That's why I told you to study well!

Would you stop doing that?
How many times are you going to sigh- Ugh!!!
Please, Tezuka. Send me back to Tokyo by courier!
Situation 10 Going Home, Explosion
Eh... Regarding your current mission,
I'll brief you on the defense mission at the prefectural exhibition in Ibaraki.
IBARAKI?!!
Is there any inconvenience?
Uh... No... None at all.
My hometown is within 5km radius,
how am I supposed to keep my cool?
The Media Enhancement's...
This is the most excellent art work this year.
Freedom...
Isn't it a great title?
What is it?
Ibaraki Library Corps has been quite peculiar since a few years back.
You can't deal with them using the normal ways. Please watch out.
Roger. I'll inform everyone.
By the way, what's with your intelligence network?
Trade secret.
It's impossible to surpass me in this intelligence warfare. So just give up~
Giving up? I've never thought about impossible tasks like surpassing you in the first place.
Just that...
Hmm?
I'll give you all the information I collected from my brother.
Thank you.
I'll contact you again when I find out anything.
Bye.
Tezuka?
Hmm?
I still haven't received my rewards for the Promotion Test...
I won't forget, don't worry about it.
Bye.
What the hell, is this the time to mention that?
I was going to ask you to come back safe, idiot.
Prefectural First Library · Museum of Modern Art
Abandon the weapons.
Say No to Violence Dialogues are understood.
Hmmph! Are you the leader?
Please abandon the weapons.
I don't know if you represent the Non-Resistance Assembly or something,
Are you planning to hand over the most excellent art work of the year
to the Media Enhancement Committee in the face of violence?
Fighting violence with violence will only worsen the situation!
Oh...? So there's a way to have dialogues with those fellows now, huh?
Ah-
We're working towards that now.
Chief Librarian!
You're Captain Genda of the Special Task Force, right?
I'm Sugawara, the Library Chief Librarian.
Please to meet you.
By the way, there seems to be no defense troops placed around here...
There is no need for that since we're prioritising dialogues now.
What's going on, Deputy Commander Yokota?
Chief Librarian Sugawara is the special adviser of the Non-Resistance Assembly.
we just can't simply chase them away.
Even so, you can't let things go on like this.
Prohibition from using weapons without the permission of the Chief Librarian and the Affairs Department
is simply unheard of!
Why isn't this situation reported to Commander Inamine?
It's useless...
the proposal is being held up by the Chief Librarian.
This is Chief Librarian Sugawara's kingdom.
That's all Shibasaki said.
Normally, the affiliated library and the library base should be cooperating seamlessly...
Kasahara.
Yes, Sir!
You're the only one staying at the female dorm.
Take note of the atmosphere, avoid any trouble.
Use your cell phone if anything happens.
Yes, Sir!
The stairs are at that end.
Sorry for the trouble.
You're Kasahara-san, right?
Let us carry those to your room.
Umm... I can handle this easily on my own.
Don't worry, you're our guest.
Ah... Thank you.
But... How did you know my name?
There isn't anyone who doesn't know that you're the first female Task Force member in the country.
Kyaa~~ It's heav-vy~
So sorry... Looks like we can't carry them...
No wonder Kasahara-san is different from us since she could carry them alone, right?
Hey,
Don't throw some huge garbage here.
Huge garbage?
What a warm welcome greeting...!
Excuse me!
Leave that to us.
Sorry for coming late.
I'm Nonomiya Shizuka from the Defense Department.
She's my roommate, Inoue.
Our team leader asked us to show you around.
Ah, it's okay. I can take care of it myself.
Furthermore, it was them who picked the fight.
No. But...
I'm sorry, please bear with it while you're here.
I don't think they want to defend the exhibition.
It was due to my vigorous demand that we're able to receive help from the Task Force.
Ain't that right.
We can't strip our people of their rights to appreciate art freely.
Please, I'm depending on you.
If there's anything we can do,
please let us know.
Let's make this prefectural exhibition...
a success!
It's extremely ridiculous for the Chief Librarian to oppress the Defense Department.
We must inform Commander Inamine of the situation,
and abolish this absurd rule!
Aoki's team will prepare the command system.
Begin your work today.
As for the other teams,
go back and think up the most effective military training before the exhibition opens.
We will give the defense team here a complete re-train!
Re-train those fellows who haven't had any shooting training for the last few years?
We don't even have two weeks before the exhibition!
Don't talk like a bunch of crybabies!
You are all Task Force members aren't you!?
From now on, you're going to knock Mito back into shape with full force!
Why is she here?
Unbelievable.
Who does she think she is?
Here she looks. I'm sca-red~
Excuse me!
Huh?
I'm sorry. I haven't explained it to you.
I'm sorry.
Huh? What's going on?
The members of the Affairs Department get to eat and bathe first?!
I'm sorry.
The Defense Department has the lowest position here.
The Affairs Department is ranked even higher than the Deputy Commander.
What's with these absurd rules?!
What happened at the stairs,
is also what defense force members go through when they first join. Something like an orientation...
I don't understand at all.
Why do you put up with it?
Males aside,
there are 90 females in the Affairs Department,
and we only have 15.
Many people have already quit,
if conflicts keep happening, the survival of the Defense Department will be affected.
Come on, your hip is bent sideways.
Hold on tightly to the grip.
Honestly, how will the progress be?
They might reach Kasahara's level on average.
Do you mean the time she first joined, or right now?
Somehow, they'll reach her current level.
If that's the case, they would've have barely made it.
Very well. Work till you're at your limit!
What- What kind of standard is that?
Hey, Kasahara-san's hometown is really near here, right?
Don't want want to show your face?
I don't! I don't!
My parents are very conservative.
If they find out I'm in the Defense Department,
they'll definitely make me quit.
Is that so?
This is terrible...
I'll go to the library for a while.
We're... used to it already.
Besides, we can't prove that the Affairs Department did this.
Isn't it obvious even without evidence?
Why do you bear with it?
Don't you feel humiliated?
Of course we do!
I'm sorry.
But, we're only being treated terribly now.
Huh?
When the exhibition ends,
when Kasahara-san goes back to Tokyo,
things will get a bit better.
Please.
Please don't take away our living place.
How are things on your side?
It's great, really great.
Is that so?
Don't force yourself.
Aye, aye, Sir!
I'll make it through this on my own.
Excuse me!
Someone please open the door!
This is strange.
Wasn't the key returned because last person left already?
To Kasahara-san.
Get out of Mito! Get out of Mito! Bald Gorilla! Brainless pumpkin! Get out of Mito! ---- Get out of Mito! Don't underestimate Ibaraki.
Take note of the atmosphere, avoid any trouble.
I understand, but...
we're in the same Library Corps,
why is it like this?
Here comes the ally of justice.
That's very hot-blooded of her, what an ugly sight!
Kasahara
We came to collect the laundry...
It wasn't us!
I know...
I'm alright. Go back quickly.
But...
It's okay.
It's better if you're not seen with me.
It's alright.
I... am alright.
Hey, you.
What are you doing at this hour?
I normally meet people like you,
that's why I've kind of forgotten the existence of those spiteful people.
If I'm in this environment...
Not only that, if I'm one of the majority,
I will probably do the same thing as well.
You won't.
You don't know that for sure, do you?
I know.
I've observed you up until now.
How did this happen?!
It hurts!
I'm sorry...
I'm sorry.
Treat me as you always do, please...
Hey, do you know that fellow's weakness?
Give us some useful information.
Private Kasahara from the Defense Department of Kantou Base,
please come to the library's lobby quickly.
Why...?
You disobedient child!
Doing this kind of work behind your parents back...
Wait... what are you doing?
You're going home!
Stop fooling around, I'm in the middle of my work!
Stop this barbarous job of yours immediately!
If you are so displeased with me,
severe ties with me and find an ideal daughter from somewhere then!
That's enough, Kasahara.
You attract too much attention here.
No way.
I have nothing to say to her.
She always uses this trick!
She always cries. As if I'm doing something wrong!
Alright, calm down now!
Do you have your mobile phone with you?
Huh?
I do.
Where is your father's workplace?
The prefectural office.
That's near.
Contact him now. Have him pick up your mother.
You- You want me to enter a second fight?
There's no problem on your father's side.
Eh?
Face the problem head-on and resolve it!
Report to me later.
Yes, Sir.
My fault for hiding the truth.
But I've been working so hard,
only to gain the acknowledgement I have now.
What are you trying to achieve with this job?
Iku is the the first female Special Task Force member in this country.
Isn't that amazing?
Huh?
What do you mean?
How did you know?
Her picture was published in a magazine.
I somehow figured it out.
Let's acknowledge Iku's efforts.
Stop joking around!
Do you wish for Iku's death again?
Again?
Don't say things recklessly.
I want to say it!
Wasn't it your recklessness that Iku fell from the cliff?!
That's why... That's why there... there... there was a bald patch!
Please stop...
Cliff?
Bald patch?
Wasn't there a small boulder behind our house?
When you were still a kid,
you playacted rock-climbing over there.
You gave our cute daughter such a bald patch....
But it's great that she only got 3 stitches.
You're irresponsible!
What if...
What if something happens to Iku...
No...
Mom...
I... thought I was being hated...
Aren't you the one who hates me?
Idiot!
It's not like that...
Although you're scary,
and a little noisy,
but I've always wanted you to like me.
Me too.
Mom...
I see.
They found out about my house from this.
I'm sorry.
I apologise too!
It wasn't your fault.
Stop your habit of apologising.
I have my parents' approval now, so it's alright.
Kasahara-san...
I couldn't stop talking about myself,
it was all my fault.
Since you were forced to tell the Affairs Department my weakness,
I must think of ways to get back at them.
But...
You can't solve anything if you don't face the problems head-on!
I'll show you an adult's confrontation.
Heh!
I won't pin-point anyone, but I'll make myself clear.
About yesterday's drama that revolved around me,
I've already checked who did that under whose order.
Listen up.
I'll pretend what happened up until now as mere conflicts between us girls.
But this is the limit.
From now on, if anything happens to the members of the defense force,
I'll write a full report stating that internal staff obstruct the defense of the exhibition.
Your evaluation will be done by the Kantou Library Base.
There isn't anyone here who doesn't know that, riiight?~
Listen.
I'm someone who's going back to the Kantou Library Base.
Umm...
From now on, be it the cafeteria, the bathroom or here,
these places can be used freely by anyone other than those in the Affairs Department.
What the hell is that?!
You call that an apology?!
Kasahara-san.
Huh?
Let us talk to them.
At such a crucial time before the exhibition,
we don't have the luxury of time to accept your apology.
We only want to use the dorm's facilities fairly.
We also want to be treated fairly in this dorm.
We don't hope for any special treatment!
Well done!
Ibaraki First Library
As I said, I...
I don't want to hear excuses!
When it is over,
I will have you own up to your responsibility.
