Stand My Heroes: Piece of Truth (スタンドマイヒーローズ PIECE OF TRUTH)

I'm one of the candidates you're supposed to scout, right?

Can't it be me?

Huh?

Are you able to take the weekends off, Miss Rei?

Yes, usually.

Um, if you'd like a better explanation of STAND,

I can just go along with your schedule.

I can always make time.

There's no point if you're not off, too.

I'm asking you out on a date.

Oh, it's just a date...

What?!

Go out on a date with me, Miss Rei.

"Stand My Heroes"

Come on in!

Thanks for waiting.

All right, the beers are here.

And some shochu for Rei.

Thanks!

Really? You're starting off with shochu?

Uh... Why not?

Why are you still holding that, Mr. Aoyama?

I wanted to get some ideas on presentation... Er, never mind.

Does everyone have their drinks?

Good work, everyone.

Cheers!

How's Mr. Tsuzuki doing?

I heard he's doing fine now. Apparently it was overwork.

You take care of people, and you're getting the hang of being a scout.

That's my Izumi.

Yui, stop playing with the drinks.

I'll have you know that this is an experiment.

Okay and done.

Wait, me?

STAND already acquired Section 1, right?

Mr. Watabe, Mr. Asagiri, Mr. Arakida, and Sugano, was it?

You've also made contact with all 4 members of Revel and the Tsuzuki brothers.

And you've gained the trust of a handful of them.

That's a decent pace.

Thank you...?

You're holding off on scouting Makoto Tsuzuki for now, right?

I guess we can try other candidates for now.

What about his younger brother?

This is his little brother, right?

The super popular young actor Kyosuke Tsuzuki. His nickname is Kyon-kun.

Ah, isn't he also known as the Ratings Prince?

You've already made contact with him, right?

Izumi?

Do celebrities usually contact you throughout the day

and invite you to go out to eat?

What?

Wait... Is he hitting on you?!

No, I think he's just teasing me.

Don't be fooled! He's after that body of yours!

Wouldn't that be you, Kotaro?

Who would actually try to put their hands on Rei?

No, this actually worries me.

Rei is a lovely young lady.

He's a celebrity that definitely knows what he's doing.

Even if Rei has no intention of it being so, before you know it...

Izumi.

My buddy from the Community Safety Division has a good self-defense spray.

I'll get one from him right away, so make sure you're never alone with him.

Okay, Dad.

Don't. That actually gets to Mr. Seki.

If he's coming at you that hard, does that mean he's agreed to join STAND?

Well...

He wouldn't agree to join because he thought I'd refuse to go

on any more dates with him if he did.

So why not just date the guy already?

You can't be serious!

Don't let that actually get to you.

How many men do you plan on dating while being a scout?

Now, now.

Don't worry.

If anything actually happens, we'll save you.

At least Itsuki or Shun will.

Responsibility diverted.

Well, don't.

"Scoop! Confessions from the Popular Author!!" "Makoto Tsuzuki Denies Retirement"

"Scoop! Confessions from the Popular Author!!" "Makoto Tsuzuki Denies Retirement" Oh, an article on Makoto.

Oh, an article on Makoto.

What's your problem? Don't just come in without saying anything!

I said I was coming in.

I'm glad he actually announced it.

Like it matters to me.

Oh, come on.

You've been grinning at that article since yesterday.

Shut up. Don't make me throw you.

Mr. Asagiri.

I was asked to deliver this.

Running errands in between your scouting duties?

Everyone's pretty busy because of that drug.

Must be rough.

Oh, if you haven't eaten yet, wanna get some lunch?

I was just about to take a break anyway.

Natsuki, you still owe me a report.

Uh oh.

If you're hungry, I'll give you one of my beloved instant noodles.

"Instant Yakisoba" "Melon Soda Flavor" If you're hungry, I'll give you one of my beloved instant noodles.

Now, have a seat.

Thanks...

I'll be going now.

Thanks.

Izumi.

Maki! It's rare for you to show up here.

I'm covering for Hatori.

Are you heading home?

Yup.

Perfect timing then.

Miss Rei.

Kyosuke?

Did I surprise you? My brother's not Revel's only client, you know?

Just kidding.

I just asked Kei about you.

Oh, that's what he meant by perfect timing...

You keep declining through our messages, so I came to ask you out in person.

You're off tomorrow, right?

Got any plans yet?

I, uh...

Sara's birthday is coming up.

I wanted you to help me pick out a gift.

No?

If that's the case...

There're a lot of people here. Are you going to be okay?

Don't worry. People rarely see through my disguise.

Let's go!

I was able to pick out a perfect present thanks to you.

I'm glad I could help.

Look over there, Miss Rei.

Those look great!

Let's have one together.

What?

You just look like you're having so much fun.

I am. We're on a date, after all.

I was hoping you'd step a little out of work mode...

I think I did.

I haven't had this much fun in a while.

Really? Yes!

Hey, doesn't that look like him?

Is that actually Kyon-kun?!

Crap... Let's bail!

Man, that made me panic.

Sorry to make you run like that.

It's okay. That was a close one.

Yeah.

I could almost see the "Steamy Love Affair!" headline.

Though I wouldn't mind if the headline involved you, Miss Rei.

There you go teasing me again.

You're a tough one, Miss Rei. I'm being pretty serious here.

Seriously, if you don't stop...

Would you prefer my brother?

Y-Your brother is a STAND candidate...

But so are you, Kyosuke.

Right.

But as soon as my brother joins STAND, even you'll forget all about me.

But I might just join immediately if you say, "I like you, Kyosuke."

I won't say that!

Aw...

Hey, hey.

Your favorite Mr. Watabe's brought you some tasty treats again!

Uh... what?

So you're all busy trying to get more information on this mystery drug.

We still don't know what it is or where it's coming from.

Kotaro's still running a component analysis,

and Natsume's looking into "Plus" since it was so similar.

Come to think of it, where is he?

Maybe he went to wash his face.

By the looks of it, he stayed overnight.

Looks like you've got your hands full.

I haven't been able to help at all...

You've been busy with your own work, Izumi.

He keeps messing with you because you're too nice.

Wait, what's this about?

Apparently Kyosuke Tsuzuki keeps asking her out on dates.

Oh, but they're not really dates...

Oh? First some socialites and now an actor...

Pretty smooth, Rei.

Seriously--

We figured it out.
