Have Guns
Heard you got your director position back.
To be precise, I'm still considered a substitute director.
You have the data, don't you?
Sorry.
Like I told that guy Avi, I've already sold off that so-called data.
Don't be mistaken, Juzo. I'm not here to have some tea with you.
You broke the Extend Law again.
You not only destroyed a sub-brain that was a lead to a highly wanted criminal.
You assisted his escape.
I'm sure you understand, even with this sooty head of yours.
Even if I send you to Wunder Bender this very instant, you can't complain.
True, I'm not in the best of situations.
I got no attachments to the outside...
...but I can't really let myself be put away until I deal with a certain problem.
Oh, wonderful. That simplifies matters.
But even if I had that data you're talking about,
the problem I'm dealing with right now won't let me give it up.
This is why I hate people who have things they value more than themselves.
Tetsuro and Chris!
Did you save them from Spitzbergen?!
I wish I could say that...
...but you're wrong.
It seems they were released.
Without a single scratch on them.
What do you mean by that?
We currently have them in custody,
and we're checking to see if any kind of deal was made.
It'll take two or three days.
Either way, I'll guarantee their safety.
That means... you no longer have a need to keep that data, right?
Noble Rot
My name is Podpie.
I'm one of the many Extendeds living in this city.
There's no trail I can't track.
I use these eyes of mine to maintain the peace by solving cases from the shadows.
Even so...
No matter how hard I try, there is a limit to what can be done by the books.
In order to further sharpen my skills,
I walk the streets every night.
All for the sake of my true imperative.
That's...!
The one visiting Juzo Inui has been confirmed as the director of EMS.
It looks like the data has already been destroyed.
It proved that the government had hidden the dangers of extension technology!
We might still make it. Give the order to attack.
We won't make a mistake this time.
What is it? An enemy attack?!
No, I think there's a drunkard causing problems...
I feel a disgusting presence.
It may be an ambush set by EMS.
It can't be helped if we've been discovered! Let's kill them!
Don't engage in pointless battles!
Fall back. We'll report to the elder.
Understood.
Goodness. Please don't laugh so much.
B-But the way you described Juzo made him seem so cool.
That's not the same guy.
But don't you think he's an amazing person?
He ignored the dangers and saved me when I was kidnapped.
Even though I said such terrible things...
Oh, I don't think he worries about that kind of thing.
That would be nice, but...
The coat I borrowed from Mr. Juzo got so tattered, right?
Yeah.
I was wondering if I could fix it myself.
I read in a magazine that men value handmade presents more.
Really?
Should I send a new one, after all?
But I feel like that won't properly convey my feelings...
I see. So that's how it is.
O-Of appreciation! My feelings of appreciation!
I mean, Juzo is super dense.
You have to say things strongly and clearly for him to understand!
You're right.
I'm now free to go wherever I please.
I will try my best.
That's the spirit.
Juzo should be in his office right now.
Y-Yes.
R-Rosa?!
I never thought you were that kind of person, Mr. Juzo!
N-No. What? Huh?!
Even if mankind has evolved with extension technology, man himself does not change.
May there be mercy upon his manhood.
It looks like she got the wrong idea.
You...
Juzo, you're the one in the wrong here.
Hurry up and hand over the data.
So that was McMahon's daughter...
The time has come.
Either way, I'm glad the two of them are safe.
Well, if Christina didn't come back for a while, I could wait on the rent.
Dad!
After all that commotion, I haven't had any customers come in.
When someone finally does... it's a head like yours.
At this rate, my cutting skills are going to drop.
B-B-B-But I'm thankful that everyone is safe.
I heard that you were going to raid a terrorist organization, Mr. Juzo.
I was so w-worried...
There's no need to worry about a guy like that.
He even came back with newly sprouted arms!
Don't talk about it like I'm some kind of lizard.
Those arms of yours. Are they Mary's work?
No, this is--
That girl is popular.
Her skills have improved once again.
She's so young, but so talented.
I should have her do my maintenance work sometime.
While I'm at it, maybe I should upgrade to something that looks more trendy.
That's a good idea.
You should also have her set it so you talk a little less.
Welcome!
Uh, did you want to get a cut?
D-Dad!
If so, I'm helping another customer right now, so it'll be a bit of a wait.
Just a shampoo.
Oh! I-I can do that!
Will that be all right?
Please.
I'll h-hang up your coat for you.
P-Please sit down over here.
After investigating day and night, I've finally...
Excuse my reach.
My efforts have borne fruit!
Wh-What's going on?!
U-U-Um, did I do something wrong?
No. There's no problem.
I-I'm going to lower the seat now.
All right, turn back over this way.
I'm going to put a towel over you now.
Is th-th-there any water down your temples?
There's no problem.
Are you on your way home from work today?
What kind of work do you do?
The world...
I make the dreams of all men in this world come true.
That is the duty I bear.
D-Duty?!
Now that makes me curious, old man.
If you are truly a man, a time will come when I may help you as well.
A man of few words, huh?
I don't hate those kinds of people.
Inhuman previous guest who I do not know the name of,
allow me to be thankful of your work.
I-It seems your job must be an admirable one.
I was able to gain this moment thanks to you!
The perfect chance for me to fulfill my duties!
Oh, no! What a terrible nosebleed!
There's no problem. Continue.
B-B-But...
Excuse me.
I'd like to get my hair washed. Do you have time?
I've been holding off because of everything going on,
but it's been a week and I can't stand this itchiness!
Oh! Juzo is here, too.
Rosa was here just a bit ago. Did you see her?
Wait... why is there so much blood?!
Th-That's...
No way. Juzo...
It wasn't me!
Those eyes...
I've seen them somewhere.
Don't put such pathetic things in front of my face!
And you smell so bad! Have some shame!
Wh-What are you...?
Y-Y-You!
Dad! Get a towel! Hurry!
What's going on? What did he do?
I am a person from the Security Bureau! I have connections with the EMS as well!
If you harm me, you will not be--
Shut up!
I knew it!
Th-That's...
What is that? Let me see.
Don't look!
This person has an image scanning device that uses the MALS system.
Multiple Alternative Light Sources.
It's a system that uses ultraviolet and infrared light to find hidden evidence.
It was developed for the Security Bureau and the government research facilities.
That technology was installed in his eyes as an extension.
I don't really get it. So, just what did this guy do?
To put it simply, he has the power to see hidden things.
It's x-ray vision!
X-ray vision?!
Of course, this technology isn't available to the public.
So, it's an illegal extension.
Even considering the risks, it's a fairly affordable extension.
That's why illegal extensions like this are so popular.
Then, this guy...
He's probably lying about being part of the Security Bureau.
I'm not lying!
I really was a data analyst from the Security Bureau.
However, after getting these eyes,
my desire to use them for personal gain had become uncontrollable!
That was the only reason I was fired!
Then, the duty you were talking about earlier...
I must show the beautiful bodies that have caught my eye to all the men in the world.
That! That is the true duty of John Podpie!
Why are you saying that so proudly?!
I was able to extract all the data.
Let's just hand this guy over to the EMS!
What did you say?!
What a foolish thing to do! Your heart must be as barren as your chest!
Quit saying barren over and over!
You fools do not realize the importance of my work!
You are the ones who took my job and my family from me!
This flimsy bucket!
It cannot contain the light of my all-seeing eyes!
I will bring all of your secrets to light!
I shall bring you complete humiliation!
Wh-Wh-What kind of body is that?
Shut up.
You suddenly became so freaking talkative.
What're you doing to someone that could be the same age as your daughter?
It's your duty as an adult to admit your crime instead of lashing back like this.
U-Um...
Here.
What was that just now? What was that just now? What was that just now?
What was that just now? What was that just now? What? What?
He's a goner.
It's fine!
I'm sure he had his reasons.
We've gotten the images back... so as long as he promises not to do it again...
Huh?!
Hey, that's being way too nice!
But he seems to have regretted what he's done.
No, no. You can't let him go like this.
Please open your eyes!
--It'll be fine. --No, do you really understand? He saw you?! All of you!
What about you?
No, do you really understand? He saw you?! All of you!
Even if you ask me that...
Well, that's true, but...
I can't even use that head of his to practice cutting hair.
What? It's okay?! Really?!
It's fine!
What was that just now? What was that just now? What was that just now?
Wh-What? What was that? What?
You forgot something.
That power of yours. Try using it for something you really believe is right.
If you drown in that power again, the last thing you'll see is my fist.
And, you know...
If you don't watch out, you'll just end up becoming a tool.
It's like you were saying those words to yourself.
You think?
I do.
Verrat Dreizhen. The brethren slayer, Device 13!
The anecdotes of you stained in blood!
In the past, there was a unit called the Noble Rot.
Soldiers who dropped to rock bottom for the sake of their country.
They seemed noble for giving themselves to the rot.
Was that...
His abilities still have ways to be used for good.
He's different from me.
Well, then.
Old man, please finish taking care of me.
Oh! But!
But... There are people who've been saved by you, too.
Juzo.
You aren't surprised seeing my face?
Well, well. What an utterly unexpected turn of events!
I've never seen you on the military register.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me!
