ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Dept. (ACCA13区監察課)

What?

Magie went to Bādon?

Yes, Your Highness. Just a short time ago.

How dare my aide leave Dōwā without my permission?!

He said he could not let someone else handle something again.

Mochi dessert?

How could he let food distract him from his mission?

What's wrong, Magie?

Commander...

Just rather irritated by an incompetent subordinate.

I see.

Are you engaged in an important mission?

Yes, I would say it is important.

Are you sure you can entrust

such a task to an incompetent subordinate?

I am certain he had his reasons.

Find out who she is.

Yay!

So yummy.

This place has the best pancakes.

That was great!

Come back anytime.

I will!

That uniform...

You must be with the guy who's been stalking Lotta lately.

Let's hear your intentions.

I don't care about that right now.

Seconds... Sorry for the delay!

This is what I care about right now,

this "toast" object!

Crispy on the outside, yet fluffy and chewy inside!

How delicious...

I must remember this toast type of bread.

That's sandwich bread.

Sandwich bread?

When you grill it, it's called toast.

It's the first time I've seen one.

So toast is grilled sandwich bread...

Dōwā only has tough bread. Nothing like this.

I must make a mental note.

Uh...

I've heard of a west-sector bakery that specializes in sandwich bread.

Want to go?

You'd take me there?

Sure, I've been wanting to check it out, too.

How was Suitsu, Jean?

The usual.

But about their supervisor, Warbler...

I know I mentioned that he could take on my role,

but I don't think he's ready yet.

Did something happen?

Just a feeling after observing him.

All right.

Well, even if stepping down will be possible for you,

I doubt it'll be for a good while yet.

Once I'm done with the district audits,

do you think the brass will finally approve my transfer request?

I'm not sure.

But, Jean, wouldn't that also put you in a tight spot?

Not really...

You visit every single district.

I'd like you to report any information you find during your rounds.

In secrecy.

I can't tell her about the Suitsu fiasco,

but I need to make my report.

You look pale.

Did Crow say something in his report?

There is nothing to report.

Crow even infiltrated Suitsu?

Most likely.

Guess I'll take the bus instead of the subway.

Get in.

How was Suitsu?

I heard you had to stay longer than planned.

Did something unusual happen?

Nothing in particular.

Since Grossular doesn't share information

your observer gives him,

I decided to ask you myself.

Observer?

Grossular assigned one to you a month ago.

I didn't know I had one.

Regarding the coup d'état,

you mentioned that Chief Officer Grossular is involved.

Is that really true?

I mean...

Go on.

I don't see the connection between the coup and Chief Officer Grossular.

Hmm.

Is that your intuition, based on your own read of him,

and not someone else's opinion?

You made me want to ask you that

because to us, Grossular is an impenetrable, unreadable man.

I'll give you the benefit of a doubt and try to scrutinize him again.

About this observer you mentioned...

Is it an ACCA member?

Someone with Internal Affairs.

Have you sensed anyone watching you?

Not at all in the past month.

Of course you wouldn't have.

You're probably used to being watched

by that person.

Being watched...

He isn't coming...

Potatoes!

Let's make microwave potato chips!

Wow, that'd be great!

Eider, you came all the way here from Fāmasu District?

Yes, I had paperwork to finish regarding my staff's former wrongdoing.

I thought I'd pay my regards to the deputy chief, but...

Ah.

Jean left this morning for an audit in Birra District.

I see.

Oh, what?

Does Eider have feelings for the deputy chief?

N-No...

Yeah, Jean's so busy...

He already left for his next audit.

Nino, want to grab dinner tonight?

Sorry, I don't think I can tonight.

Nino, you're working too hard, as well!

Where are you right now?

That's a secret.

Birra District

He's staying in Birra's best hotel.

He's staying for five days,

longer than in the other districts due to the long travel time.

Hmm?

He's taking a while to enter.

Is he thinking of having a smoke out here?

Deputy Chief, you'll catch a cold.

Please come inside.

Right.

Jean... noticed?

Since he knows, we have no choice.

You can tell him what he needs to know,

while getting a sense for where he stands.

Of course, you can also leave without talking to him.

This doesn't mean your duties are over, however.

You'll just change roles to only be his friend, and continue.

Good morning. I'm glad the sun's out!

I'm sorry we couldn't provide you with

any more than boots yesterday.

My arrival was sudden.

ACCA Inspection Department Birra Branch Supervisor Danlin

I've borrowed a whole set of warm gear from Birra Branch.

They're warm.

The branch chief is preparing some Birra cuisine for tonight's dinner.

Well, let's go.

Okay.

You must really like sandwich bread,

coming here daily, while you visit.

I'd like the azuki bean, too.

Hello!

Hi, Lotta.

What would you like today?

Three two-centimeter slices! Walnut, cheese, and chocolate!

And...

Oh, hello.

Have we met?

Do you like sandwich bread?

Of course! Do you?

Same here, of course.

They have really good sandwich bread.

Birra Branch is my fourth assignment.

Compared to others I've been at, Birra has a pretty balanced operation.

There's a good amount of trade,

so quality of life is much better than in Suitsu.

Birra isn't as prosperous as Fāmasu,

but it's self-sufficient,

and things are stable.

The district administration is a well-oiled machine.

Things really are different, depending on the district.

I agree.

Though, everyone really cares about

their own districts.

Eider, you're here.

Yes, but I'm about to leave.

I heard about what happened in Fāmasu.

It must've been difficult.

I know how you feel.

The supervisor is responsible for any subordinate impropriety.

But you shouldn't bear it alone.

That isn't it.

Oh?

I've come all the way out here,

but the deputy chief is on a business trip.

I have such bad luck!

Why isn't the deputy chief here?!
