2 days after the events of Volume 2 (Sunday Morning)...
In an abandoned warehouse in Kanagawa Prefecture...
Thankfully, we arrived in Japan earlier than I have expected... Spinner said enthusiastically Why don't we rest first? Spinner suggested sarcastically.
Rest? We can't rest yet...not until we've shorten our list of targets. Remember, we're in Kanagawa Prefecture we have thousands of suspects...we need to shorten our list as soon as possible. So, that we will be close enough of collecting the Harmony Duo's bounty...and their HEADS. Granger said coldly, adjusting her shades.
What should we do then, Madame Granger? Spinner asks curiously.
Tatsuhiro, you're up! We need your hacking skills now. Granger said authoritatively.
Alright, what do you want me to do? Tatsuhiro said coldly, opening his laptop.
As usual, the first step of hunting is to identify who your targets are. Granger said coldly I want you to forcefully hacked the system of the videos they're uploading, acquire any information available. I don't care even if it's just little or unimportant any leads will do! Granger said authoritatively, adjusting her shades.
Tatsuhiro lets out a sigh.
You overestimate me, Madame. Tatsuhiro said sarcastically Alright, I'll do it! Tatsuhiro said, determination evident in his voice.
Of course, you are the group's pride in terms of technological skills. Granger said arrogantly, smirk forming in her face Anyways, get to work! Ora mismo! Granger said authoritatively.
Sure, sure! Tatsuhiro said, letting out a sigh of defeat.
What about me? Do you need my help too? Spinner asks expectantly.
No, not right now...You are weak in terms of bladed weapons and hand to hand fights unlike Me and Tatsuhiro. So, right now I want you to hone your field of expertise... Marksmanship! You'll also be significant for our operation this time, because you are also a bomb and science expert despite your age...our opponents are bombers, so you'll have an even more active role this round unlike in our previous operation! Get ready for that! Granger said authoritatively.
Happiness evident in Spinner's face.
I will practice right away! Spinner said enthusiastically.
Wait, before you do that! Could you please make me some tea first? Granger said coldly, blushing.
Alright, Right away! Spinner said enthusiastically.
"Just you wait, Harmony Duo! Your Bounties and Your Heads...are OURS." Granger taught to herself, adjusting her shades.
Madame, there's an update! Tatsuhiro said, urgency evident in his voice.
Really?! What's the update?! Granger asks expectantly.
I have only acquired one but vital information! They've covered their tracks well even in the internet! This just shows that they are also technologically knowledgeable! Tatsuhiro said, urgency evident in his voice The vital information that I have uncovered is that the location and the time of all the videos they've uploaded are always the same. Tatsuhiro said coldly.
The same? What are the location and time? Granger asks coldly.
Sakurazaka Highschool, 1:25 P.M...Tatsuhiro said coldly.
Alright, got it! I want you to investigate that school as soon as possible! Granger said authoritatively.
Here's your tea, Madame Granger! Spinner said enthusiastically, serving the tea.
Thank you, Spinner! Granger said sincerely In lunchtime, I want us to rest and lay low for a moment since we just got here in Japan! You said that you want to go to the mall, Spinner? I'll take the two of you there later. Granger said enthusiastically.
Yey! Thank you, Madame! Spinner said enthusiastically.
No, I'll pass...I want to sleep. Besides, I have some work to do here. Tatsuhiro said coldly.
Alone time with Madame Granger?! I am up for it! Spinner said enthusiastically I'll go for a moment to practice my marksmanship! Spinner said enthusiastically.
Are you sure that it's alright to go to such public place like the mall? Tatsuhiro said coldly.
It's alright, let her be! Granger said coldly.
Alright then... Tatsuhiro said coldly, going back to work.
"If I am going to take the informations in the articles into account. Then, most likely that is where they are attending for school... they're most likely living in an apartment together without any relatives, guardians or parents. How could they make the bombs if they have someone with them right? Most likely that apartment is also just near Sakurazaka Highschool...that will lessen the people in our list!" Granger taught to herself, adjusting her shades.
Tatsuhiro, I have another work for you! Granger said authoritatively.
What is it now, Madame? Tatsuhiro coldly asks.
I want you to look for apartment complexes near Sakurazaka Highschool. Granger said coldly.
I think I already know why you have tasked me to do that...but, fine! I'll take a look at it too. Tatsuhiro said sarcastically.
Good, report to me immediately once you have found something. Granger said coldly.
Right away! Tatsuhiro said confidently.
"Seems like I will have the opportunity to neet the two of you sooner than I expected. I know that we're up against no ordinary teenagers, that makes this hunt even more exciting and unique than the other hunts we've experience so far! So, don't disappoint me." Granger taught to herself, adjusting her shades.
Lunchtime, At Laplace Mall...
I am glad that you've fulfilled your promise to me, Dad! Haruko said sincerely.
I won't ever break a promise especially if it's for my beloved daughter. Takahiro said calmly.
"This is also a good way to ease up my mind in the events that have unfolded this week..." Takahiro taught to himself
Anyways, Dad! I am kinda hungry! Haruko said enthusiastically.
Alright, where do you want to eat? Takahiro asks calmly.
There! Let's eat there! I heard that they are serving some good sushis there! Haruko said enthusiastically, grabbing Takahiro's hand and dragging him along.
Hey, wait! Don't run! Takahiro said authoritatively, letting out a sigh of defeat letting his daughter drag him along the way.
Madame, let's go there! Spinner said enthusiastically.
Alright. Granger said coldly.
Takahiro and Granger gradually crosses ways and had a subtle eye contact.
"Who's that woman? Why do I feel... murderous intent within her?" Takahiro taught to himself.
"That man, I don't know but I don't feel good about him..." Granger taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.
