RAGE

OTMGIRLS YOKIYOKI CHANNEL




It's not getting views.

SHUT UP KINGDOM

RAGE

DEATH GROWL CHANNEL




I've been watching Haida for several days

and what stands out is that USB stick.

When he finishes working, he unplugs it

and puts it in the office safe,

even if he's only stepping out briefly.

And he always takes it home with him.

He must not want anyone to see the data.

It's either a secret diary or--

Under-the-table accounts.

If so, comparing that to the official data
will expose the window dressing.

Think you can run wild in my office?

I won't let you!

I have to get that stick before the
statements are submitted.

I probably can't stop Haida.

What should I do?

To think you work here.

Long time no see.

I saw your video.



That's impressive.

Unlike our channel!

Yeah.

Must be nice. I'm jealous.

Wanna collaborate?

What?

If we collaborate, we can share your fans.

You'll get new fans from us too.
We both win.

As old friends--

Hey, you're leaving?

I'm busy right now.

I'll buy you lunch!

No, thank you!

Hey!

Crap!

The statements are due in three days.

How is it going?

Everything's going smoothly, President.

I trust you.

As suspected, we can't see the
combination from this angle.

Install a hidden camera.

A hidden camera in that barren room?

He'd probably find it.

Then let's expose Haida.

That would be showing our cards. Listen!

When cornering an enemy you need hard
evidence. Leave no escape!

For example?

When your future husbands cheat on you--

Honey!

You're wasting time.
You need that combination, right?

Shouldn't you be worried?

It'll be okay.

We'll figure this out.

I have my person on it now.

She's surprisingly clever too.

You really trust Retsuko.

Not especially.

SHORT-TIMER

Yeah, it's me.

What is it?

Did you find a way in?

Yes.

This is Anai. Can you hear me?

Yup.

Haida just went in his office.

Yeah, I see him on the video feed.

Anai and Fenneko, stand by.
Kabae, keep eyes on the target.

-Got it.
-Okie.

-Understood.
-Begin phase two.

Good afternoon!

How can I help you today?

We're from the auditing firm.

Auditing firm?

Yes. They want to speak
to the head of accounting.

That's unexpected. What about?

They said it's a surprise audit.

Okay, thanks.

I knew it! Hearing "audit" made him sweat!

What will you do, Haida?

Better keep your sensitive data with you.

Begin phase three.

You ready, Sky Panther?

I'm good to go anytime.

My view is clear.

The combination is 206148B.

I'm Haida from accounting.
Where are the auditors?

They're waiting for you right over here.

What?

That's strange. They were just here.

Hello?

Haida? Quick! I need your help.

Sorry, but I'm busy right now.

That's mean. You get promoted
and just abandon your coworkers?

Haida! You there, Haida?
Just come quick, Haida!

What's with her? Geez!

Haida is on the move.

Begin phase four.

Retsuko, you're up.

I'm going in.

RECORDS

Why did you call me for this?

I can't help it that I'm short.

Sheesh, what is it with today?

I got called to reception about an audit
and no one was there.

An audit?

Tsubone!

There's no audit today.

It was a surprise audit.

Sounds like a mistake.

Audits always require advance notice.

Oh, Haida! You didn't even know that?

What? Haida?

Fenneko here! Haida is on the move!

Hear that, short-timer?

Hurry! Haida suspects something!

PASSWORD

What's wrong?

Enter the password!

What are you waiting for?

We made lovey-dovey password T-shirts!

I hated being made fun of like that.

This isn't the time!

Promise you won't do it again.

Fine! I promise!

Okay! Go!

ACCOUNTING

I'm leaving.

LONG TIME NO TALK!

Congrats on your promotion!

Thanks.

What a surprise.
We should have celebrated sooner.

No, it's really nothing special.

Don't say that.

I could never get a promotion.

I sleep in and forget things all the time.

That's why I had to start my own company.

Thanks.

How is Retsy doing?

Is she well?

That's actually why I'm here today.

Let's arm wrestle.

Why? What's going on?

Stop acting innocent, you bastard.

Haida,

what's going on?

If I win,

you never call her Retsy again.

I see. So that's what this is.

Stop underestimating Retsy.

You can't b*at me the way you are now.

You're picking a fight with the wrong guy.

Hey. Long time no see.

He's all yours.

Okay, thank you.

Sit down.

You know why you're here, right?

We've completed a full investigation.

You can still stop this.

You're following orders, right?

It wasn't the president.

It was my decision.

No way.

Yes way!

I said to stay out of my way!

But you can't go through with this.

I'm doing what I believe is right!

The president believed in me!

And now you've ruined everything!

Everyone treats me like I'm nothing!

Even you, Retsuko.

You think an ordinary guy like me
is worthless, right?

You think I'm just the president's puppet!

I don't think that.

Then why--

What are you doing?

Trying to confuse me with death growls?

Fine. Bring it on.

OKAY

I can play that game.

Playing nice won't get you anywhere!

You take the incentive or you
lose everything! Like Director Ton!

You don't understand anything!

Just who do you think I'm doing all this--

I--

I did it

for you.

I never asked for that.

Don't use me as your excuse.

I don't want to see you like this.

All we know is that they're employees.

They hinted at having abundant evidence
of window dressing

and said if we want to keep this quiet--

Don't submit the false statements?

So this is intimidation?

Right.

We have no choice.

Does that mean--

We fight to the bitter end.

Failure is not an option.

It will be fine.
Especially if they're our people.

Once we get more info, I can negotiate--

President!

I can't do this.

Is this really for the company?

Aren't we just hurting ourselves?

This happened because you were careless.

I'm demoting you.

That's fine.

Let's just stop this.

What do you think this is?

I respect you, President.

But when it comes to this, I--

You misunderstand.

You can easily be replaced.

You're right.

I'm replaceable.

I know that.

I know it all too well.

But,

if you plan on making someone else
feel as bad as I do,

I'm not going to let you!

This is a job only I can handle,
after all.

You're picking a fight with the wrong guy.

Nope.

I've got the right guy.

I was just chasing my dreams

Feeding the hunger with agony

Now I know where it got me

Foolish trash in a rotten hole

Consumed by emotion, anger

Always taking the wrong path

Blind, you tout a justice

Empty, clinging to ideals!

You will do…

What I say!

Why are you still dawdling around?

Go, Retsuko!

Finish this!

Oh, no! Haida fell too!

No way!

Yo. I'm looking forward to the collab.

We stopped the plan before it was too late

and didn't have to go public.

I thought you said she was obedient.

She obeys her heart.

President Himuro's leadership
was questioned and he stepped down.

President Tanuki finally got his chance.

Or so he thought.

I'll be back next week!

Yay, President!

The former president returned.

Director Ton and Kabae returned too.

Please come again!

And finally…

Haida left the company.

I think Haida was really happy that
President Himuro acknowledged him.

I think we all just want to be seen.

Not lost in the crowds.

We all hope someone will find us

as we go on living our lives.

FREERIDE SPACE VENTURE
PRESS CONFERENCE

President Tadano sure is something.

Yeah.

Ouch.

What's wrong?

My wrist and arm are sore.

You overdid it.

I couldn't let him win like that.

You're a man, after all.

Where did you learn to talk like that?
