After that, Eyepatch Man took Makimura Makoto out of the massage parlor and onto the crowded streets of Sotenbori. But they quickly realized the danger had not passed. Gangsters in suits were everywhere on the streets of Sotenbori, searching for them.
"Damn it, this is going to be a problem...!"
Eyepatch Man clicked his tongue at the sight. Just as he was trying to think of a solution, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came through the walkie-talkie in his hand.
"Hello, can you hear me? Respond if you can."
"Who are you?"
Eyepatch Man picked up the walkie-talkie and asked in a low voice. The person on the other end merely chuckled.
"I am currently Miss Makimura Makoto's guardian angel... It seems you could use a little help."
Hearing that voice, Eyepatch Man immediately recalled the mysterious sniper who had blown apart the gangsters' heads at the massage parlor.
"...What are you planning to do?"
"Nothing. Take Miss Makimura Makoto out of the alley and onto the street."
"Are you kidding me? Their men are right ahead of us. The second we go out, they'll spot us."
"Don't worry. Even if they spot you, there's nothing they can do."
"Tch..."
Hearing that answer, Eyepatch Man clicked his tongue. After hesitating briefly, he grabbed Makimura Makoto's hand and led her out of the alley and onto the street. At that moment, the gangsters searching ahead spotted them. They shouted, then three of them gathered together and strode quickly toward Eyepatch Man and Makimura Makoto.

Eyepatch Man tensed up. Just as he was about to flee again with Makimura Makoto, the neon sign on the tall building beside them suddenly snapped loose. It came shrieking down from above and smashed directly onto the three gangsters!
"Boom!!"
The enormous neon sign
