>"No. I mean...with those punks. I'll stop, okay?"

>I don't want anyone to get killed trying to do the right thing..." Nitori, still sad, said.

>"Yeah...I didn't think you had already seen the worst."

//Sorry for the lack of activity. I got very busy IRL, and haven't been able to announce it.

>Nitori sniffed. "It wasn't your fault..."
>She then wiped her tears away, and looked up to you.
>"Let's...clean all of this up...alright?"

//I'm back! It's been quite a busy period for me IRL, but here I am!

>You let Nitori be in charge while you mostly just help her with the task at hand.
>You can't help but notice that Nitori remained gloomy during the entirety of the cleanup...

X-X-X

>Once the cleanup is finished (with the door boarded up as a temporary fix) about an hour later, the two of you went to the kitchen to fix up some sandwiches for brunch.
>Then the two of you sit down on the sofa, getting ready to have your brunch.
>You note that the TV is only thing in the apartment to have survived the Sukeban's attack..

>Might as well turn the TV on.
>Sit close to Nitori. Physical closeness is good for glooms.

>You turn on the TV, and sit close to Nitori.
>It's still the news channel. And looks like it is doing a report on the attack at the mini-mart that occured hours ago.

>"At roughly two hours ago, several members of the Yorigami Sukeban attacked a mini-mart while chasing after two people. There is little information on why the Sukeban were chasing those two, but they've caused quite a significant amount of damage to the mini-mart before the police arrived and they escaped without getting what they want. The police have said that regardless of what they were doing and why, the Sukeban will be brought to justice... The newscaster seemed to pause as she is handed a file from offscreen. "Wait, I have just received an update, people. It appears to be a message meant for two blue-headed individual, referred to using very vulgar language. The message is warning said individuals that there is nowhere safe, and they will be hunted down no matter where they go. This message is signed by...hang on... It's signed by Accountant 155, the leader of the Yorigami Sukeban!

>You wait until Nitori feels a bit better, which wasn't very long after she said to burn the counterfeits.
>"Let's do this."

>You doublechecked the entire ward of cash to make sure it's all counterfeit.
>Honestly, you can't tell if they're actually fake or not. If these really are counterfeit, then the Sukeban made them pretty well...

>With that, you dump the counterfeit into the kitchen sink, then use a lighter to set them all on fire.
>You also made sure to go fetch a bucket of water from the bathroom just in case the fire gets too big.

>"I heard people saying that the Sukeban are cursed. I guess they were true to a degree, after all..."  Nitori comments as you and her watched the fire reduce the counterfeit to ash.

>You dump the water into the bathroom sink, then comes back to the kitchen to put the burnt-to-ash counterfeit in it, before putting it away in the cabinet under the kitchen sink (you couldn't find anything to use as a lid).

>"And when they come, we do what?"

>Well, there's still the broken windows and bullet holes on the walls to fix, but you figured that you could use a break for now.
>Although Nitori insists that she can carry on with the cleanup. She let you catch a break as she resumed with the work.

>You decide that if Nitori isn't going to rest, you should keep on helping her instead.
>And so you did, despite the Kappa's protest that she can handle it. This moment did lighten her mood a bit...
>You leave the TV on as background noise. You've switched channels, so now it is showing a really old movie that might be older than you are.
>Whatever the case, the two of you continued with the cleanup and repairs.

>"Given the publicly-issued threat from Accountant 155, I think we should, from now on, stay at home when its dark..." Nitori tells you.

>And so the two of you spend the rest of the night eating sandwiches while watching on TV this old soap opera to take your mind off everything that has happened today.
>The soap opera has a pretty cheesy premise, and you practically struggled to hold back the urge to laugh. You mostly succeed in holding back the urge.
>Nitori? Not so successful. Despite trying really hard, she finally loses it at the 30 minute mark.
>Though it is nice to see her moving on...

x-x-x

>Despite having not consume a single drop of alcohol, you wake up the next morning feeling all groggy with a little bit of headache.
>You learn that you and Nitori have spent the night sleeping on the couch, with the two of you leaning on each other. The Kappa is still asleep.
>The TV is left switched on the entire night. Right now, it is playing an advertisement about cucumber beer.

>If we're successful, let's go see what we can do about breakfast.
