Mezzo DSA (MEZZO -メゾ-)

Asano...

Where's the money?

Here are the goods we agreed on.

I have to hand it to you, Black Scissors.

I appreciate it.

We're specialists in illegal activities.

Nothing's impossible for us.

This isn't enough.

I can't buy glitter gloss or colored mascara with this.

I'm sorry.

But...

The limited edition makeup kit is only sold through tomorrow,

Asami!

You can get the money immediately if you go to some Internet dating site

and pick up a pedophilic old man.

That's a little...

A little, my ass.

You might be the class's number one slowpoke,

but I'm teaching you something useful.

Give me your cell phone.

We said give it!

No!

Hand it over! No!

Hand it over!

Are you resisting us, Asami?!

Mommy!

Wait for me! Mommy!

Mikura!

Harada!

Damn!

You brat!

Mikura, the police are closing in!

So anyway, I'd like to withdraw from here quickly!

So he says. Shall we get out of here before Pops loses his hair?

I think I'm going to lose mine too!

Cover me, Harada!

Harada, wire!

Gotcha!

After them! Gotcha!

After them!

Ah, it's so high!

Bastards!

There!

Is the Angel in place?

She sure is!

Damn! What's the DSA?

Who the hell are they?

DSA? Oh!

Don't say anything to the cops about us.

The survival roller coaster we got on

There's no need to give up, run by the highway

You just barely escaped with your life

We're thirsty

Extremities and infinity

Together, they form a fantasy

The eyes, squaring away, are throwing out sparks

"You're it! This way," you say, as you stick your tongue out

Wink

Grateful for the excruciating pain

I'm restored by a gratitude known as power.

Perhaps it would be better to return soon?

As though filling in the gaps between the eyelashes, eye make

As though filling in the gaps of my heart, I take

On the contrary, the intensity is heightened by a powerful punch

The worse I'm treated, the more I get fired up

I get worked up over an intense punch

Thank you for doing such a thing

A gap, a gap, pay a sympathy visit

Doesn't it, doesn't it, doesn't it hurt?

Is the visit painful? Does it hurt? Is it dangerous?

I want to go, I want to stay, I want to do it

I want to go, I want to stay, I want to do it

Mugi-ya

Mugi-ya Danger Service Agency...

Danger Service Agency...

What about it?

You take the initials. D, S, A! Isn't it?

So?

A business executing dangerous matters isn't something which can be done easily.

That's very true. It certainly is.

Do you know we're called the "Risk Their Lives Trio" every time we're mentioned?

What are we? A trio of comedians?

Shell of Love

Shell of Love That sounds like the Chanbara Trio.

Shell of Love They're old. I liked Casey Takamine.

Shell of Love

Shell of Love Oh, don't cut there too much.

Oh, don't cut there too much.

Kuro-baby, do you know what was inside the barbershop pole?

Could it be...

Those macho guys were your underlings?

The only girl among the Life Risking Trio seems like she's got great skills.

I'm so jealous.

I'll pay for the funeral costs. How much?

That was an unapproved drug.

Which?

This? Which?

This?

That.

It's a rather risky substance being bought and sold in the black market.

Otherwise, Mr. Kurokawa wouldn't have been summoned by Mugiyama.

So that group of macho guys were...

Most likely Black Scissors.

Pops...

He won't come back alive.

Again?!

Again?

So, since we messed up your transaction, what do you want us to do?

Actually, that was...

Hey, Pops, let's go.

How long does it take to give your hairless head a haircut, anyway?

Well, time to go. That won't be the day after tomorrow. Grazie!

I'm sorry. Will you forgive us?

That was just a job for the both of us.

This time, I'll let it slide.

Sticking your tongue out at authority, I see.

What a nice girl. She's even cute. Did she really...

You're a poor judge of character, you idiot.

That's an imitation.

We didn't notice it got swapped!

You're good, scissor macho dude!

I don't care if it's scissors or rock or paper. Hurry and take it back from them!

There's no time!

I don't ever recall hiring a useless trio.

Say, Missy. What did you just say?

Uh, hold up, Mikura!

Ms. Kisami, we can try to recapture the goods

but if we can't determine the whereabouts, then we really can't do anything immediately.

Mr. Asano should have it.

I know where his apartment is, so go there immediately.

All right, Harada, Mikura...

This isn't good at all.

What shall we do, Mr. Kurokawa?

You can pout all you want, but it won't turn into money, Mikura.

But this bitch is belittling us!

Pisses me off!

Apologize!

Well...

He's...

Mr. Asano intends to kill someone.

A man by the name of Takizawa.

Fifteen years ago...

Mr. Asano was a pathology intern at a university hospital.

What's pathology?

Well, it's an academic discipline where you examine the cause of illnesses

and research the outbreak mechanisms. Is that correct? What are you making me say?

That's right.

And? That's right.

And?

One day...

Job well done, Asano.

Uh, thank you.

I didn't think being an intern would be this rough.

Well, see you later.

She's considerate, and she's a good-looking woman, that Misaki.

Takizawa, you already have a girlfriend you're dating.

I've thought female interns were all intelligent and ugly,

but there seems to be an exception.

That guy's creepy.

That guy, Takizawa, he pretended to be a good person in front of women.

So it seems like he wasn't popular at all with his male colleagues.

There are a lot of guys like that.

In front of Misaki, that tendency became especially obvious.

So why is he off to kill Takizawa?

That must mean she chose one of them, isn't that right?

That's right, she...

I'm telling you I have a date with Misaki tonight.

Anyway, I'm short on cash. Could I borrow some?

How much?

What the hell is that?

Why did that Misaki woman go over to Takizawa?

Then again, Mr. Asano's pathetic!

At the time, she didn't realize

what kind of a person Takizawa was.

Whether she liked it or not, an incident took place that showed her his true aspect.

Meaning?

I have a bad feeling about this.

Several weeks later...

The murder weapon had Takizawa's fingerprints on it.

He had no alibi for the time of the murder,

he disappeared the night of the incident and as far as suspicion goes,

there was no room for doubt.

But the cops couldn't find Takizawa.

When you said there's no time, you meant the statute of limitations?

Yes.

Since the statute of limitations is closing in, Asano started to look for Takizawa.

He probably found him by sacrificing everything.

But...

Takizawa had lost all his memories of the past.

He was afflicted by early-age Alzheimer's.

So that thing we're after is...

A quick-acting drug for it.

I see. So Asano's trying to get Takizawa's memories back

before the statute of limitations expries.

Then he'll ask for the motive behind the murder and...

Get his revenge.

To imagine, he's continued to think of her for fifteen years,

and is trying to get revenge for a woman who never even looked his way.

No matter what the reason is, I don't want Mr. Asano to become a murderer.

Please, please stop him! The statute of limitations is tomorrow, at noon!
