“…what does this mean?” (Mitsuha)

Perhaps, right now, my vein has surfaced on my temple .

“No, I’m not really angry at you, Rephilia . I want you to explain what happened from the beginning” (Mitsuha)

Rephilia shuddered as she saw my enraged expression . So I said that my anger is against the others and managed to calm her down . And what I heard from Rephilia is…

In the middle of the night two days ago, a group thieves invaded and stolen the stock in the warehouse…

“Was anyone hurt?” (Mitsuha)

“Ah, there were about 20 thieves, and around half of them were armed with swords and spears . So the security guards had no chance, and all the thieves hid their faces under their masks, so we surrendered without resistance as per your instruction . So, although some were beaten, there’s only one with fractures, and three with bruises, but there is no one with serious injuries that would cause death or after-effect” (Rephilia)

Alright, at least there’s a silver lining among these dark clouds .

Although they’re just a security guard who aren’t the regular employee of the firm, I can’t overlook the fact that someone had make a mess of the people who worked for the company that I’m involved in .

If the thieves weren’t hiding their faces under the masks, then the judgement would be difficult, but if they were hiding their face means [they’re not going to kill anyone unnecessarily], so in such cases, I instructed Rephilia to surrender without resistance .

…because if they were going to kill everyone, they wouldn’t bother to hide their faces . Mask makes you hard to breath and narrows your vision, it only gets in the way when you’re fighting .

It would be better if there’s no witnesses, but the punishment for getting caught between stealing without hurting anyone, and murder robbery by killing all guards, are very different . And it would be even worse if they committed arson to destroy the evidence as they flee .

…This is where Heizō the demon from Arson Theft Control division comes in . …if this were in j.a.pan . (Note: Onihei Reference)

Perhaps even this country has something equivalent to that . And that would mean death for the thieves . I don’t know if they would be hanged or beheaded though…

Well, it’s better for both the thieves and the guards to survive than having all of them died . It’s the so-called win-win situation . …I think it’s a bit different .
