Good morning, Sensei!
File:Arona 01.png
Arona
A lot of people are starting to talk about Schale, and we've received letters from other students asking for help.
File:Arona 11.png
Arona
That's a great sign, and it means there's a lot of work for us to do!
File:Arona 02.png
Arona
Um, but...there's this one letter we got.
File:Arona 01.png
Arona
I think you should take a look.
Read the letter.

Hmm... Abydos High School, huh?
File:Arona 01.png
Arona
It used to have a large, thriving district, but it fell on hard times due to climate change.
File:Arona 25.png
Arona
The district was so big that people would even get lost in the middle of town!
File:Arona 11.png
Arona
Heehee. That must sound ridiculous. How does someone get lost in the middle of modern civilization?
File:Arona 01.png
Arona
I'm sure that was just an urban legend.
File:Arona 10.png
Arona
Anyway, I can't believe the academy is being bullied by some lowlife gang.
It sounds pretty serious.
File:Arona 02.png
Arona
I wonder what brought this on.
"I need to go to Abydos."
File:Arona 22.png
Arona
You want to head there right away? You really don't back down, do you?
File:Arona 25.png
Arona
All right, then! Good luck!

At least you're alive. I thought you were a goner when I saw you lying in the road like that.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
What's that? You fainted from hunger?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Does that mean you're homeless?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
You didn't get mugged, did you? Or involved in some kind of accident?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
What's that? You fainted from hunger?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
So you're not homeless?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Oh...
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
*glances*
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
You came here on business, but fainted out of hunger and dehydration when you couldn't find a single shop open?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Well, that's hardly surprising.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
It happens all the time around here. It's been a long time since there were businesses open in this neighborhood that offer food and drinks.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
You would have more luck further toward the outskirts.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
You're not sure how to get there? So this must be your first time here.

Never mind. Don't worry about it.
Thank her for coming to your rescue.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Um...
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
You look like you're an adult from the General Student Council.
Are you here on some kind of academy-related business?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Ours is the only one around.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
So you're here to visit Abydos High School?
Nod.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Oh. It's been a long time since anyone visited us.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Let me show you the way. It's not too far from here.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
What? Too hungry to move?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
That's...a problem.
Ask for a ride.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
But my bike only has one seat.
Ask her for a piggyback ride instead.

ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Huh? You don't mind?

ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Uh...
Greet them with a smile.

I'm shocked. We haven't had a visitor in ages.

True...but were we expecting anyone?

Wow, I can't believe we won! The Helmet Gang seemed pretty determined.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
You shouldn't say that, Hoshino. Those thugs would have taken over the school had we lost.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Sensei gave us the edge we needed to turn the tide. We couldn't have done it otherwise.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Experience was likely the deciding factor. It was amazing how you handled resources, equipment, and support.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Sheesh, Shiroko. You sound like you have a schoolgirl crush.
Anyway, can I go back to sleep now that it's over?
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
You shouldn't tease Shiroko like that, Hoshino! Besides, haven't you slept enough today?
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
Someone got yelled at!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Haha. Anyway, we should introduce ourselves, Sensei.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
We're the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I'm Ayane, and I'm a first-year in charge of the task force's records and operations.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
This is Serika, also a first-year.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Hey.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
And these are our second-years: Shiroko and Nonomi.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
Hello, Sensei!
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
We met before.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
...Ignore what Hoshino said, okay?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
And this here is our president.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Hoshino is our lone third-year.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Nice to meet you, Sensei.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I'm sure you've noticed by now that our school is in crisis. That's why I reached out to Schale for help, and you've already managed to come through for us.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Those thugs would have succeeded in taking over the school if not for you.
We can't thank you enough.
Ask what the Foreclosure Task Force's purpose is.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
The Foreclosure Task Force's goal is to bring Abydos back to its former glory.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
We're the only club in the school where every single student is a member!
I mean, we're the only five students at this school, but still...
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
All the others either transferred or dropped out and left town.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
I don't blame them for leaving Kivotos entirely, with the state that Abydos is in.
And now we have to deal with thugs like the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang trying to take over the school.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
It's too difficult to defend Abydos on our own, and embarrassing to see the state it's in, if I'm being honest...
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
We would have been in real big trouble this time if Schale hadn't come around to help us.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Seriously. I figured we were done for once we ran out of supplies.
That's some timing you had there, Sensei.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
At least we don't have to worry about the Helmet Gang anymore!
It pays to have adults in high places! ☆
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
No. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they come back.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Yeah, probably. Man, I hate them.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Who knows how long this will drag out? We have plenty of other things to worry about besides the Helmet Gang.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
I have a plan.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
What the...?! Hoshino came up with a plan?!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I'm surprised too!
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
I know I'm getting senile in my old age, but you don't have to hurt my feelings.
I do my part too, you know.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Well? Spill it.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
If history repeats itself, the Helmet Gang will attack again in a few days.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
So before then, why don't we go on the offensive for once?
They're probably sulking and vulnerable after that last fight.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Y-You mean right now?
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Yeah, now. With Sensei here, we have more than enough supplies to finish the job once and for all.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
True. The Helmet Gang's base is 30 kilometers from here.
We have plenty of time if we leave now.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
I'm all for it. The last thing they're expecting is for us to strike now.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I can't deny that, but...what do you think, Sensei?
"I'm on board."
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Great! If Sensei is giving us the green light, then let's hurry up and go.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Let's strike while the iron is hot.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
Okay! Let's go!

Why not, Serika? It's not like it's a secret.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
That doesn't mean we should go telling everyone!
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
It isn't as though we're guilty of anything. Besides, Sensei is one of us now.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Hoshino is right, Serika. Sensei is responsible—trustworthy, even.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
I know, but they're still an outsider.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
I'm not saying Sensei can solve this problem on our behalf, but they're the only adult we have to turn to.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Maybe we can come up with a solution if we discuss it with Sensei, even.
Or do you have any better ideas, Serika?
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Well...
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Sensei just showed up out of nowhere! Why would an adult care about our problems, anyway?
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
We've always taken care of ourselves! Why do we suddenly need to be supervised?
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
I don't want any part of this!
Sound effect: door open
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Serika?
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
I'll go talk to her.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
...
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Back to the matter at hand... Our school owes quite a bit of money to a loan company. It's a challenge, but not exactly an uncommon problem either.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
The real issue is...that it's over 900 million yen.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
It's 962,350,000 yen to be exact.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
That's the amount that Abydos—no. That's the amount the Foreclosure Task Force has taken upon itself to pay back.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
The loan company will foreclose on the school and shutter it permanently if we don't repay them.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
But the odds of paying back a debt that large are practically zero.
That's why most of the students left the school and town...
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
All except for us, that is.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
The debt is the source of everything that's wrong. It's why the school is on the brink of closure, why the students left, and why the town is so desolate...
Ask about what happened.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
You mean how the debt was accrued in the first place?
Sound effect: dust wind
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
There was a sandstorm in the desert surrounding the school several years ago.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Sandstorms are common in the Abydos region, but that particular storm was devastating.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Some areas were completely buried in sand, and it just kept piling up.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
The school had to raise a lot of funds for disaster relief...
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
...but there wasn't a single bank that would give such a large loan.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
So the school was forced to turn to loan sharks...
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Exactly. They were looking to take the easy way out and pay the money back quickly...
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
...but the sandstorms only worsened as the years went on. Despite the school's best intentions, the situation just kept getting worse.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Today, more than half of Abydos is under sand and the debt keeps growing.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
...
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
...
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
We're barely able to pay the interest every month. We can't even afford ammunition or school supplies.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
I can sympathize with Serika's frustrations. No one has ever cared enough to ask about our situation before, let alone reach out to help.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
That's the long and short of it.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Now that you've helped us scare the Helmet Gang away, we can return our focus to paying off the debt.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Even if we appoint you as our club's advisor, you don't have to trouble yourself with our debt. It was kind of you to listen to our story.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
We're not trying to pressure you. You've already helped us enough.

That's one of the neighborhoods that's become more desolate, isn't it?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
It's more like an abandoned wasteland. There's no one there to enforce public safety, so there are a lot of outlaws skulking about.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Right. We found that Helmet Gang members lived in those areas while researching risk factors surrounding the school.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
So it really was them!
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
They must have kidnapped Serika while she was on her way home and taken her to their hideout.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Likely still bitter over our last battle. Maybe they took Serika hostage as a way to retaliate.

I was looking into the tank parts we collected in battle. It turns out they're from an illegal model that is prohibited within Kivotos.

I'll have to dig a little deeper, but right now it looks like the Helmet Gang has gained access to weapons that should be contraband.

I bet we can find out who those hooligans answer to if we analyze the distribution channels for these parts!

can cleanse your aura and bring you good luck?

SerikaForeclosure Task Force
They're so powerful that you can boost your good vibes just by wearing them! And if you can get three other girls who wanna become boss babes like you...?

HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Proposal denied.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force

AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Serika... Have you ever heard the phrase "pyramid scheme" before?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
It's a scam.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
What?!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
First, I don't think germanium can possibly affect your luck, if it even exists. Second, if this is such a great business plan, why would they give it away for free at such a fishy-sounding seminar?

Okay. President Takanashi Hoshino has the floor...
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Thank you. Ahem...
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
You know what this school's problem is? It's that the entire student body is just us.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
More students means more money. Think about Trinity or Gehenna with their five-digit enrollment numbers. Then think about how much they must be raking
in with monthly student fees alone!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I suppose... And?
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
So we need to increase our enrollment numbers! That's our top priority.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
We'll also get more representatives and have a better say with the General Student Council that way.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I admit you raise a good point, but how do you suggest we do this?
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Simple. We abduct another academy's school bus!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Excuse me?!
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
We hijack a bus full of students on their way to school, and we hold them hostage until they agree to transfer their enrollment over to our school!
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
This is sure to get our enrollment numbers up!
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Interesting.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
So who's our target? Trinity? Gehenna? Or is it Millennium?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
We'll have to evolve our strategy to fit the target.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Oh, yeah? Well, what about Trinity? No, wait! Let's hit Gehenna!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Wait a second! We can't possibly boost our enrollment with a stunt like that!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Not to mention the other schools' respective leaderships would surely put up a fight...
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Heh heh. Oh, would they now?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
That wasn't supposed to be a challenge, Hoshino... Can you please try to take this meeting seriously?
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
I have an even better idea.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Fine. Go ahead, second-year student, Sunaookami Shiroko.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
We rob a bank.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force

ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
It's a surefire plan, and we already have the perfect target.
Let's hit the First Central Bank downtown.

You shouldn't be so hard on yourself!
HarukaProblem Solver 68
I...shouldn't?
SerikaPart-Timer Student
You're students! No one expects you to be loaded with cash. Still, you and your friends scraped enough to share a bowl of ramen together. That's saying something, isn't it?

That's "Boss" to you. You should know better than to not refer to me by my title, Chief of Staff Mutsuki.

You could have negotiated to make sure there was enough left for four,

I get why you would want to reduce the risk factor of this operation. You're right about not underestimating the target. They aren't jobbers like the Helmet Gang.

But really, Boss? Are these Abydos students really worth blowing our entire budget on hiring extra muscle?
AruProblem Solver 68
They could be...
MutsukiProblem Solver 68
Aru probably doesn't even know. That's why she hired those goons—because she's chicken.

The culprits belong to a club called Problem Solver 68.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
They're a notorious group of student delinquents from Gehenna Academy.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
They present themselves as a fixer agency, but they're more like a freelance errand center.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
The club president is a girl named Aru.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
She would be the one you ran into that was calling herself the boss.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Aru has three employees beneath her: a chief of staff, a department head,
and an entry-level employee.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
They really do mean business, huh?
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
She's an executive at her age? That's so cool! ☆
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Again, her title is self-proclaimed. I suspect they're currently operating out of a location close to Abydos—especially since we ran into one of them this morning.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Is what they're doing officially recognized by Gehenna Academy?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I wouldn't think so. I bet they took whatever contract they're under because they felt like it.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
So they're in violation of school regulations... Strange. They didn't strike me as all that bad or malicious.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
On the contrary. They're known for being troublemakers and causing a lot of headaches at Gehenna as well.
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
And now they're targeting our school! We need to take this seriously!
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
Maybe we ought to capture and interrogate them...
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
For once, I agree. We should take initiative and nip this problem in the bud.
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Geez, Ayane. You're acting like this is personal. Is there something you want to tell us about?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Next up, the mastermind behind the Helmet Gang's attack on Serika!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
After analyzing the weapons that were recovered from the last battle...I've learned that this model is no longer on the market.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
So it's been discontinued?
SerikaForeclosure Task Force
Then how did they get their hands on it?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
The only place you can get those kind of weapons is in Kivotos' Black Market.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
Isn't that place supposed to be really dangerous?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Yes. Dropouts, burnouts on leave, flunkies... The Black Market is a gathering spot for delinquents. Not to mention a place where unauthorized clubs do illegal activities.
ShirokoForeclosure Task Force
Like Problem Solver 68?
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
Indeed. Word on the street is that Problem Solver 68 has been responsible for a couple of incidents at the Black Market already.
NonomiForeclosure Task Force
There's our link!
AyaneForeclosure Task Force
I agree. We should be looking for a connection there.
HoshinoForeclosure Task Force
It's obvious what we have to do next. Let's go to the Black Market and take a look around.
