THE KUROYURI PARTY

Good evening, my friends!

Members of the electorate!

So you failed again?

My apologies.

Their vigilance towards us is off the charts.

I'm not surprised.

But I do have a backup plan in place.

YOZAKURA FAMILY

PLAN 8 THE KUROYURI PARTY

Mutsumi asked me to help her with an errand.

But where are we going with all this stuff?

Oh, there you are!

It's been a long time, Lady Mutsumi.

I'm counting on you today, Sui!

- You're looking as moronic as ever. - Eh--

You know him?

We've rubbed shoulders as colleagues.

It's an honor.

That said, I should let you know that I'm still mad

about the incident with Nanao and Taiyo.

Feel free. I was only doing my mission.

Anyway, let's get going.

The Hinagiku leader is waiting.

Oh...

Leader?

CABINET OFFICE BUILDING

Taiyo! What are you doing?

Come on!

Eh? Oh!

HINAGIKU

A café?

Welcome.

Three Hinagiku Ultra Super Totally Deluxe

Gigantic Crazy Special Monster Extreme Caffè Lattes, please.

Did a grade schooler come up with that name?!

Very good, sir.

It actually exists?!

Enjoy your drinks.

Huh?

Whoa!

300 meters till we reach the lowest level.

We're an intelligence unit

supporting the government literally behind the scenes.

Welcome to Hinagiku.

We have a little time before we reach the chief's office.

Drink your latte before it gets cold.

Thanks!

The Hinagiku-let's-skip-the-rest Extreme Caffè Latte?

And you've got some nerve, holding Mutsumi like that.

It's dangerous, so I must.

You need to look ahead yourself or you'll be killed.

What?

These are traps for both security and training.

Let your guard down and you'll be ground beef before we reach the bottom.

I only came because I was asked!

That's the entrance to the chief's office.

Whoa.

Hey, if you don't move out of the way now, you'll get crushed.

Nice of you to come...

Mr. and Mrs. Yozakura!

Uh?

Can a weakling like you really keep Mutsumi safe?

Yum!

I can taste your love and kindness, Mutsumi!

The tea you brought back from your overseas mission smells divine!

Thanks so much for coming, Mutsumi.

Now I feel motivated for my next mission!

I should be thanking you!

This is such a nice breather for me.

See, Rin's a former classmate of Big Bro Kyoichiro's,

and she throws tea parties like this

from time to time.

So the errand was a tea party at Hinagiku?

And her bag... was just full of sweets?

Don't say that sister-obsessed dirtbag's name around me.

It'll ruin the taste of my cake!

She and Big Bro are like oil and water.

Because I think anyone who would shackle this adorable girl

ought to be drawn and quartered!

In this industry full of psychos, she's like an oasis for my dried-up soul!

Though they are alike in this particular way!

That's why I wanted you to marry a guy

capable of protecting you from that pervert.

But this isn't gonna cut it.

This proximity! I can't take it!

I heard about you from Sui, you know.

He called you a scumbag turd.

No one speaks in such a vulgar manner but you, Chief.

All I said was that as a spy, he's lower than low, excrement.

That's basically the same thing!

That's not true, Rin. Taiyo's soul is just as strong as Big Bro's.

Well, if you say so, Mutsumi, it must be so.

That said, have you spoken to him about...

The only ones capable of blocking our GPS is Hinagiku.

All right, hand over Mutsumi. Or else...

Oh, please!

So, you decided to show your face, pervert.

We're in the middle of a tea party. Get the hell out of here.

Shut up.

Just being in the presence of a vulgar female gorilla will corrupt Mutsumi.

Male jealousy is so unseemly, isn't it?

Rin Punch!

You really think you can slash me with those shoddy wires?

How should I butcher and package that body you're so proud of?

Emergency code Cherry Blossom Snow!

Everyone in the building, please evacuate immediately! Repeat...

Hey, this is bad, isn't it?

Come on, why does this always happen?

This always happens?

I'll stop them.

You two head for the emergency exit.

Sui! That's crazy!

It should be me--

Get lost.

You're in the way, Sui.

- Die-- - Die--

Mutsumi?

Move--

Taiyo!

You two...

If either of you cause any more trouble for everyone...

I'll never speak to you again.

Sorry! Please forgive me, Mutsumi!

Really!

Hey, but you know what? He's tougher than he looks.

Right? Didn't I say so?

He's my husband, after all.

I see. This one could actually...

Taiyo, I need to speak with you.

Go undercover to investigate a politician?

The Dancing Politician, Yoshimasa Kuroyuri.

Free education. Pension normalization.

Reduction of consumer tax.

The one who pulled off the Kuroyuri Revolution,

the hero of Japan!

That's yours truly, the leader of the Kuroyuri Party...

Yoshimasa Kuroyuri!

We are...

Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri...

His appearance belies the fact

that he's the politician with the most momentum right now.

But there's a lot of bloodshed behind all his achievements.

Fixtures in the political spy rankings, the triplet spies, Red, Blue, Yellow.

With them as his right-hand men, he's used bribery, assassination,

every method in the book to work his way up.

And now he's about to make a major move ahead of the next general election.

Until now, he's skillfully deflected any suspicion.

But we confiscated this miniature bomb in an unrelated case the other day.

It may only have a range of a few meters,

but since it leaves no trace behind, it's a must-have for assassins overseas.

There are already several of these at large,

but apparently not even the smuggler we arrested has seen his customer's face.

But we do have one clue.

What he does remember is the sparkly, fluffy clothing he glimpsed on-screen

and the heart-shaped sunglasses his client was wearing.

Bomb, please.

He's totally on-screen!

But this isn't enough for us to get a warrant for a politician.

Before there are any casualties,

we've got to gain surefire intel on their bombing plans.

And you want me to take on that mission?

But why?

He's from this country.

He's aware of Hinagiku's existence, and he's got his guard up against us.

Meaning someone like you, an outsider, would be hard for him to detect.

And so...

I'm counting on you!

What?

Huh?

You look really great in that, Taiyo! So cute!

Yeah, it suits you. Wow. Wow.

Hey! You're not even looking!

Wait, why do I have to dress as a woman?

See, the Kuroyuri Party just posted this help-wanted ad.

NOW HIRING FEMALE, BLACK HAIR, LONG EYELASHES

It's so specific! No, that's exactly me!

So many lives have their fate resting on your shoulders.

Make sure you get that information.

Uh...

THE KUROYURI PARTY

We are...

Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri!

Hello, my friends!

Today, I'm going to introduce a new comrade to you!

Yoko Asada!

Clap!

You must be overwhelmed by all that cheering.

But you, too, are part of the hero's family.

So stand tall!

I wanna go home!

Hero, my foot!

The policies you pushed only widened the gap!

They're evil to the extreme!

Don't let this tyrant oppress the weak!

Who's the real tyrant here?

Get the hell out of here now!

Mr. Kuroyuri!

The anger towards my policies, the difference in our philosophies...

no matter what shape it takes,

it's the voice of the people, a shout from the soul...

But... we came here to thwart you...

It's your right as citizens to have an opinion, no matter what it is.

And it's my mission to listen to those voices.

Let's continue to have these fair and open discussions.

Ms. Asada, you go on back to the office.

R-Right.

We are...

Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri! Kuroyuri!

All right, people.

I thank you for your hard work!

The way you timed that equipment to fall was spot on, Red!

You made my injuries look extremely realistic! Well done, Yellow!

Now, then, Blue, how did the public react?

KUROYURI PARTY FAVORABILITY RATING

All right! The online reaction's splendid.

Send this footage to the commercial networks

to fan the flames even further!

This will cause those foolish citizens to worship me yet again,

and the pinnacle of this country will soon be mine!

Let's go with this for our next poster!

I knew it. That accident was totally staged.

Gaining the people's support by deceiving them...

He's been stooping to these lows all this time.

We are...

No way am I going to let them have their way.

I'm going to expose their plot, no matter what!

THE KUROYURI PARTY

However...

Ms. Asada.

Are you looking for something?

Oh, no! I'm just organizing a bit!

ACCOUNTING REPORT

Try as I might, I just couldn't find any information on their crimes.

Far from it.

Let me go! I've never accepted any bribes! This is a conspiracy!

PARTY DEBATE

Sir, you must offer a rebuttal.

My stomach...

Their heinous activities continued unabated,

and they kept shifting the political climate in their favor.

And as the bomb loomed overhead, I had yet to pin down a single clue.

Our budget proposal passed!

A celebratory dance is in order!

What's going on here?

I'm watching them 24 hours a day,

and they show no signs of drawing up any plans.

How do they keep committing crime after crime?

Now, now, Ms. Asada, you must join in on the fun now and then!

I can't take this!

Why do these guys love to dance so much?

For people who dance every day, they're terrible at keeping rhythm.

Hey, that's...

Target A, engineered disappearance complete.

Illegal sale of 30% of Company B's shares, complete.

This will drain all of the Tanaka faction's funds.

Well done. That leaves me with one less enemy group!

Morse code? Of course!

They've been doing this in the open all along.

When I showed Company C proof of their tax evasion,

they were happy to switch sides.

Those with guilty consciences are easy.

They don't require any prodding.

All right, why don't we go over tomorrow's terrorist bomb attack one final time?

Mr. Kuroyuri, I'm counting on you today.

It's mutual, Deputy Prime Minister.

Many foes of the Kuroyuri Party,

including the Deputy Prime Minister,

will gather at next week's meeting.

They're all formidable foes who won't succumb to my maneuvering.

That's why I'm going to get rid of them right then and there.

We'll plant the bomb underneath the stage.

When the speakers mount the podium, we'll set it off.

The people nearby will die instantly.

Give me some fake injuries while also shielding me from the blast.

All right, start the music!

Wh-What was that? Terrorists?

No way, you're overreacting.

It must be the fountain's effect.

I had no time to disable the bomb...

but luckily, I was able to counteract the blast in a nearby fountain.

Somehow, I managed to thwart--

Too bad for you.

I didn't mention this yesterday, but I've got another bomb.

Mr. Taiyo Asano!

Now that I have you in the palm of my hand,

shall we dance?

Now I've gotten rid of every last one of them. Huh?

Hey, what's this?

Feels so good!

ANTI-SHOCK JACKET MADE BY SHINZO FLUFF FLUFF

Shock-resistant jackets? Who the hell...

I see.

Blood-spray pellets, eh?

You're full of ideas, aren't you?

But you should have kept playing dead.

Do you really think you have a chance when it's four on one?

You thought he was alone?

What--

Yoshimasa Kuroyuri and Red, Blue, and Yellow...

I'm placing you under arrest.

You worthless fools!

How much did I pay you to--

You are the fool for seeking loyalty from private-sector spies.

No! I never give up!

No!

Zero casualties as of now.

The three who fled won't be coming back.

Hinagiku will take care of the crime scene.

Your job is to escort him.

When you arrive at headquarters, hand him over to the chief.

He might make some suspicious moves.

Watch your back.

He's not making anything but suspicious moves!

Check it out.

Electric Revolver Yae.

That's a traditional Yozakura weapon.

This is the first time I've ever seen it.

Taiyo Asano. You overcame the loss of your family in an accident,

and persevered to become a proven member

of the Yozakura family, their excellent rookie.

I don't know where you dug up all that--

But there's just one unfortunate thing.

The fact that you really believe it was an accident.

Hide Asano, Akari Asano, Hikaru Asano...

One rainy day, they fell off a cliff, car and all.

Your family died instantly, but you alone survived.

Truly miraculous.

However...

some miracles are the handiwork of man.

What are you talking about?

You...

What do you know about my family?
