<br>**[03:37] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm glad to finally meet you,<br>**[03:39] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;President Fukuna...<br>**[03:41] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fukuda?<br>**[03:42] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fukuzawa.<br>**[03:43] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's right!<br>**[03:44] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By the way, was it a bad move to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;park the chopper on the road?<br>**[03:48] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You have come a long way<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;from a foreign land.<br>**[03:53] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So, what do you wish to discuss?<br>**[03:57] Fran**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Well, this is a rare design.<br>**[04:00] Fran**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;And I consider myself something<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of an expert in porcelain.<br>**[04:03] Fran**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What brand is this?<br>**[04:05] Fran**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Royal Blanc?<br>**[04:06] Fran**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Or is it perhaps El Zelga?<br>**[04:08] Naomi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's from Shimomura China and<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ceramics, next door.<br>**[04:11] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Oh, my apologies.<br>**[04:13] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Call me Francis, old sport.<br>**[04:17] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I lead an organization called<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Guild in North America.<br>**[04:21] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In addition, I personally own<br>**[04:23] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;three conglomerates, five hotels,<br>**[04:25] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;an airline, a railway company, and—<br>**[04:26] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Francis.<br>**[04:28] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have received reports that<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you used a bounty<br>**[04:31] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to encourage the Port Mafia to attack us.<br>**[04:34] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Is this true?<br>**[04:36] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, that was my mistake.<br>**[04:38] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I had no idea that this country's<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;criminal organization<br>**[04:41] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;would be so incompetent.<br>**[04:43] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To make amends, I come bearing<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a profitable business deal.<br>**[04:46] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This company isn't so bad.<br>**[04:48] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The neighborhood is aesthetically<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;pleasing, as well.<br>**[04:50] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So...<br>**[04:53] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'd like to buy this company.<br>**[04:55] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Don't get me wrong.<br>**[04:57] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am quite capable of<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;buying all the properties<br>**[04:59] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;visible from here along with your company.<br>**[05:01] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I have no interest in this<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;building or your employees.<br>**[05:05] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am only interested in one thing.<br>**[05:06] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You don't mean...<br>**[05:08] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, I do.<br>**[05:09] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hand over your Gifted Business Permit.<br>**[05:13] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For a group of gifted individuals<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;to legally open a business,<br>**[05:17] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;they need a permit issued by the<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ministry of Internal Affairs'<br>**[05:19] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;gifted special operations division.<br>**[05:22] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Those blockheads are about the only<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ones you can't buy with money.<br>**[05:26] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;After all, we are a secret society<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;with no official existence.<br>**[05:30] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In order to keep peace with the Ministry<br>**[05:32] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and do what we need to do to find<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;what we're looking for in this city,<br>**[05:35] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the permit is—<br>**[05:36] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I refuse.<br>**[05:37] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;What, this isn't enough?<br>**[05:40] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I'll add this.<br>**[05:44] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a limited edition model,<br>**[05:45] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;made to order with diamonds.<br>**[05:48] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Just as lives cannot be bought with money,<br>**[05:50] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nothing is worth giving up our permit.<br>**[05:54] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The permit is the beating<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;heart of this Agency.<br>**[05:56] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It embodies the hope of<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the special ops division,<br>**[05:58] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;as well as the spirit of Natsume-sensei,<br>**[06:01] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who worked tirelessly to<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;obtain us the permit.<br>**[06:04] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is not meant to easily fall into<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the hands of the filthy rich,<br>**[06:06] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;who have dollar bills for brains.<br>**[06:09] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So you're saying there are things<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;you can't buy with money?<br>**[06:12] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;That's the mantra of the poor.<br>**[06:14] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Your bravado is pointless if all<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;of your employees disappear<br>**[06:18] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;and your agency ceases to function.<br>**[06:20] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It'll be too late to change your mind then.<br>**[06:23] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll take your advice to heart.<br>**[06:26] Fuku**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I suggest you leave.<br>**[06:29] Francis**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll be back.<br>**[06:31] Naomi**<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our visitors are
