Return by Death: Countdown to Bloodbath

Hillary Taylor

Victim bled out here, but the weapon's gone. No forced entry.

Subaru

Limited-edition handheld... only a hundred ever made. Kagami wanted one...

Kagami

I— I found it by the body. It's... evidence.

Konata

Or a super-rare collectible you totally tried to buy last week~

Subaru

Return by Death... not again. I won't lose them again.

Hillary Taylor

Miss Hiiragi, your fingerprints are on the power button. Explain.

Kagami

I— I just turned it on. The screen showed... a countdown.

Konata

It's a live bomb tied to the server—

Subaru

Everyone GET—

Hillary Taylor

Case closed. And Miss Hiiragi...

Kagami

Next time, I'm keeping the limited edition. Court fees covered?

Subaru

DOWN!

Kagami

What—

Hillary Taylor

Sniper. Don't move.

Konata

Guys, I think we're trending... d-don't worry, totally scripted...

Subaru

Third floor, east window. He's repositioning.

Kagami

You... you knew. How did you—

Hillary Taylor

Miss Hiiragi, when I say three, roll left. Subaru, you're her shield.

Subaru

Loop 3,719. I won't lose you again.

Kagami

You're... you're not supposed to know that name.

Hillary Taylor

You want to erase evidence? Try erasing this from court, bastard.

Konata

Chat, she's using herself as bait... this is better than anime...
