"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Confucius
Masaru is driving back home from Geogre's house. He is still worried about Madeline. She runs out of breath quickly and vomits into the toilet bowl.
"Vomit? Breathing and talking difficulty?" He thought, "And she said she takes medication to soothe all those sickness. Is it really going to help?"
As he was about to find a doctor for Madeline, his phone rang. He took it out and answered the call.
"This is Masaru speaking." He said, "May I know..."
"Masaru-san, it's me, Megumi!" Megumi screamed, "Blessing Software's office is getting attacked by people!"
"Are you serious?" Masaru immediately stopped his car at the side of the road, "Are the attackers still in the office?"
"Yes. Come quickly!" Megumi replied, "I don't think we can hold much longer!"
"I'm on my way." He then ended the call and made a U-turn.
Aftermath
Episode 12
In Blessing Software's office, masked men are destroying the kitchen appliances and Tomoya's office. Eriri hid in her office and locked the door.
"Get off my property!" Tomoya pushed one of the men off. The rest of the men forced him to a corner and started beating him up.
"Tomoya-kun!" Megumi screamed. She took a loaf of bread and started smacking one of the guys.
"Stop hitting him!" She cried. The men turned back and saw her hitting. She dropped the bread and ran into the living room.
Some of the men tried to knock Eriri's door down. She screamed in fear and placed a chair against the door.
Soon, Megumi got cornered in the kitchen.
"Girl, you made the wrong choice hitting me." One of the men said. He punched her once on the face. As he was about to hit her again, someone threw a can at him. The man turned around and saw Masaru.
"I don't know about you," Masaru said, "But I feel that you're not a gentleman. You've hit a girl. What a pussy."
"Say that again, asshole!" The man shouted. He and the other men then charged at Masaru. He took a chair from the living room and smacked some of the men off.
One of the men then kicked Masaru's stomach and threw him into the kitchen. His back hit onto the refrigerator.
"Masaru-san!" Megumi ran to Masaru, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." He slowly got up and took a chopping board, "Get behind me, Megumi."
The five men then charged at Masaru. The first one tried to punch Masaru, but Masaru used the chopping board to guard himself, making the man hit the board. After a few punches, his hands were tired. Masaru then smacked his face with the board.
The second and third kicked the chopping board while Masaru tried his best to hold onto the board. Megumi took the kettle and splashed hot water at the two. Masaru then kicked them away and smacked the fourth man.
The fifth one then took out a gun and aimed it at Masaru, "You're being an annoyance."
As he was about to shoot, someone shot him down. The fifth man dropped to the ground, clutching his stomach.
Masaru looked at the entrance and saw Liam reloading his gun while Utaha is behind him.
"You came late." Masaru said.
