Shark Cop Crushes Kazuma's Side Hustle

Kazuma

Hey there, new girl. You look like you could use some extra cash.

Kazuma

I've got connections. Easy money, if you know what I mean.

Ellen

You're approaching a minor with prostitution offers.

Ellen

In broad daylight. In school. While I'm in uniform.

Aqua

(Kazuma's really doing it this time... picking the worst possible target.)

Ellen

Victoria Housekeeping Co. Auxiliary Police.

Ellen

You're under arrest for solicitation of a minor.

Kazuma

(WHY IS SHE A COP?! THIS ISN'T ANIME LOGIC ANYMORE!)

Aqua

You tried to pimp out a shark cop! That's brilliant!

Aqua

She's probably writing your name in her little black book right now.

Ellen

(Satou Kazuma... noted. He'll make excellent bait for bigger fish.)

Kazuma

(She can't swim faster than me! I'm the river escape master!)

Ellen

(Predictable. Humans always run to water when they're prey.)

Kazuma

(Why is she gaining?! This isn't fair!)

Ellen

(Three... two... one...)

Kazuma

SHE'S GOT A TAIL! SHE'S ACTUALLY PART SHARK!

Ellen

You're under arrest. Stop making this difficult.

Ellen

And I'm seventeen, not a minor. Learn to read uniforms.

Aqua

(She's dragging him back like a fishing catch! This is better than temple dramas!)

Ellen

You're entitled to remain silent. I suggest using it.

Kazuma

Wait! Look, I've got twenty thousand eris right here!

Kazuma

Just... just look the other way this once!

Ellen

(This could fund three months of operations... but corruption stains everything.)

Aqua

(If Kazuma gets locked up, who's going to pay for my temple donations?)

Ellen

Bribery attempt noted. Additional charge added.

Kazuma

(She didn't even hesitate... who IS this girl?)

Aqua

WAIT! I need that money for my shrine offerings!

Aqua

Kazuma's the only one who pays for my alcohol—I mean, holy water!

Ellen

(A goddess... begging for a criminal's wallet? This case just got interesting.)

Kazuma

I'm back, baby! And this time, I'm going legit pimping!

Kazuma

No more amateur hour - we're talking full-scale operation!

Ellen

(Three months of paperwork for this clown... and he learned nothing.)

Kazuma

I've got connections now! Prison changes a man!

Kazuma

You should see my business plan - it's foolproof!

Ellen

You're describing human trafficking to a federal officer.

Ellen

In a police station. Right after release.

Aqua

(I vouched for him. I told them he'd reformed. I am SO getting demoted.)

Ellen

(I'm too tired for this. Maybe Victoria Housekeeping was simpler.)

Kazuma

Shut up, bitch!

Kazuma

I got money to make!

Ellen

I spent too much time trying to police this shitty city.

Ellen

I'm going back to dusting furniture. It's cleaner work.
