"I see... We're good as long as we know that the town council and the Onigafuchi Guardians aren't involved.

Please take care of Satoko Houjou-san's case without worrying about it too much."

"I will. I'm glad to know that the whole village isn't backing them."

"I wouldn't agree with them if they were, though. No matter who is pulling the strings, we must treat every case equally.

This whole odd rule that we have to give Hinamizawa special treatment is only due to the precedent set when we let threats influence us before."

"...Well, you're absolutely right, sir... but..."

"Please continue to work on this case. The manager from the municipal government assured us that the town council has nothing to do with this petition.

It's a problem that our organization is so afraid of one tiny community. As a manager, you should think about that a little."

"Yes, I'm sorry... Anyway, I'm glad to hear that the village isn't supporting them..."

"You must act the same way even if the village does support them. No matter who is behind the scenes!

Please be very careful with Satoko Houjou's case.

Don't try to give her any special treatment, you understand?"
