Kaijin Kaihatsu-bu no Kuroitsu-san (Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department)

As long as good exists in this world,

Narrator

Hiroyuki Takano

so, too, shall evil thrive.

But behind this eternal clash of good and evil,

there is another battle that goes unseen.

What is... this power?!

Magnetic Ore Monster Adamant

My magnetism produces a particular field!

Within that field, your Buster Blade is a useless lump of scrap iron!

Now you'll meet your end!

Die, Divine Swordsman Blader!

Blader Punch!

Oh? You failed, then?

Y-Yes, ma'am.

Blader's the Divine Swordsman, you see,

so I never expected he'd drop his sword and just punch me.

From a toy sales perspective, it just seemed so unreasonable.

A truly pathetic excuse.

Are you prepared for the consequences?

What you learned from your experience, and how you'll do better in the future.

Pluripotent Cellular Executive Immortal Camula

Make every word count.

Carelessness will not be tolerated!

Secret Society: Agastia Monster Development Department Assistant: Touka Kuroitsu

It'd be nice to be an executive, huh?

Executive?

Y'know, I've never met those guys.

Kinda sounds like a pain in the ass, though.

Being an evil executive does carry a lot of responsibility.

It's a serious meritocracy there.

There still aren't many female executives, either.

It's such a dream job for me.

Most of all because...

Salary

They command huge salaries!

Of course that's what you care about.

That's a weirdly practical reason to have a dream.

I get where you're coming from,

but we really need to think up a new monster idea for the upcoming battle with Blader.

How'd they like the proposal I submitted?!

Protective scarf that deflects all attacks

Rips apart enemies with super-sharp claws!!!!

Frickin' awesome gun that shoots targets 30 light-years away!!

Eternal Flare Cosmic Dingo Monster Surrounded by Everlasting Flames

Commands rad spiritual flames!!

Mach-speed kicks

My Eternal Flare Cosmic Dingo monster surrounded by everlasting flames?!

You think they'd accept that pathetic scribble?!

Ideas aside, I'd really like to scale up our development capabilities.

I've got lots of ideas that are impossible under our current technological restraints.

Development capabilities, eh?

That won't be easy.

Maybe if we could get some new research material...

Hardly working, are we?

These are business hours, are they not?

Yet you don't seem to be doing much business.

Agastia's Pluripotent Cellular Executive,

Immortal Camula.

She's a vampire monster whose entire body

is made up of special cells said to have universal application.

She demands strict adherence to rules and order,

and is spoken of in rumor as ruthlessly enforcing full-cellular commitment to work.

L-Lady Camula!

It appears I will have to perform a personal audit.

An executive audit?!

What's the big deal with that, Miss Kuroitsu?

Once, one of the combat-oriented executives dropped in for a surprise audit.

Force of Power Executive Warrior of Jaguar

Spirit!

He gave us this totally non-specific chewing out,

and all his suggestions were really generic, abstract philosophical principles.

And when we submitted our report to him later, he'd completely forgotten all of it!

It's an issue that stems from the simple hierarchy of evil organizations!

This hierarchy and top-down structure is how you ended up in a female body,

and how Cannon ended up being a fluffy bird.

Executive

Monster Development Department

Your work has been slowing down lately.

It's been a while since you've had an equipment inspection, too.

We don't want malfunctions occurring in crucial moments.

I've gone through the check sheet,

but it might be best to have a specialist go over it again.

Thank goodness.

It's a proper audit.

I'm curious.

Why have your monster production costs been rising lately?

That was my idea.

I wanted our designs to have a little more... breathing room?

More shades of gray, I guess you'd say.

Shades of gray?

Yes.

Previous monsters were made unable to perform anything but their immediate function.

I thought giving them a little more individuality and flexibility

would let them perform a variety of jobs.

That's a big part of why Wolfie didn't have a complete breakdown despite his female body.

I did have a complete breakdown!

I'm totally getting this fixed, you got it?!

And why Cannon, who was created for long-range combat, can act as a mascot at events.

Here you go! Have fun! Can I help you?

So fluffy!

I can't reach the balloon! Move it down!

I see. Shades of gray...

Performing outside their original function...

That could be a legitimate philosophy.

I approve of your explanation of the costs,

but I can't overlook your dismal track record!

The fact remains that you've never once beaten Blader!

You're absolutely right.

There's nothing that can justify our failure.

Lady Camula...

I'd like to make a request to you to improve our development capabilities.

Tell me. I may consider it.

Could I ask for some of your pluripotent cells to use as research material?

I'm positive that new materials will lead to new strides in monster development research!

Oh? You're asking me to submit myself to testing?

She really is fearless when it comes to her objectives.

Request denied.

Agastia is not a school club.

It's a meritocratic evil organization.

If you need those cells, then take them by whatever means necessary.

You're challenging me to shed your blood, then?

Precisely.

Just what I was waiting for!

Wolfie boy!

Right!

Bete Claw!

Wolf Bete.
