His prize could strength the resolve of several people against the Black Cross Army. By assassinating him, the Black Cross Army intend to throw the world into chaos. Tsuyoshi asks, why did he come to Japan? Commander Edogawa replies with a vague, for now, we'll say that he's sightseeing. None of them believe him. Tsuyoshi wants to know what is Mr. Scott's real objective. Guarding him will be a problem if we don't know. Peggy adds, if we knew what he's after, this would be easier. Commander Edogawa answers, I'm having a contact look into it right now. By the way, is Mr. Scott alright? Kenji tells him, he is fine and Daita is guarding him closely. It is apparent Commander Edogawa doesn't like the idea of Daita guarding Mr. Scott. The alarm goes off. Akira picks up the headphones and listens, along with Tsuyoshi.
