Downtown Tokyo, Tokyo City, Japan
Time: 1:30 PM"Would you like me to answer that?" A strange, yet familiar voice startled the armored soldier, the vixen, and the Yuuka. The voice came from the emergency staircase of the building to the right of Yuuka. The hooded figure was tall, probably as tall as Yuuka. It bore an invisible aura that made it look like an omnipotent being. The soldier's gun was drawn again, the vixen posed a defensive stance yet again, and Yuuka opened her parasol again.
"Who are you?" Yuuka asked. The hooded figure smiled.
"Neo-Yakuza, a criminal organization that started just as any other gangster group would: drug trading, black market, prostitution. Until they discovered Horizon Project's mistake. That's when the leader of the Neo-Yakuza launched the Superarmy project. They sought out talented Characters like you all, enlisting them into their selected elite army. Those who did not fit in or resisted were executed in front of all other army members. I don't know how humans like them would be able to subjugate the Characters under their command, but they did, nonetheless. Those spineless men you captured and killed were part of the lower rung of the Neo-Yakuza. They were just local gang until now." The hooded figure continued.
"From the way you speak, you certainly aren't human." The vixen snarled. "You are a Character, just like us. Aren't you?"
"Exacta. I am, indeed a Character, just like you." The Character spoke, and then turned its back to Yuuka, the soldier, and the vixen. "Did you know, an oarfish is said to be able to grow up to 18 meters long."
Yuuka smiled. This omnipotent aura. Sudden appearance when there was no other way to get to the emergency staircase without dropping from above. Random facts before disappearance. Yuuka exactly knew who this Character was.
"You certainly is a good disguiser. Yukari Yakumo." Yuuka smiled and lowered her parasol.
"Oh no, I've been shown who is the boss." The hooded figure lowered her hood. It was indeed Yukari, with her golden hair, her ribboned gaps, and her flashy outfit.

"Just visiting. I can always gap myself back to Gensokyo." Yukari chuckled.
"You two must be known to each other." The armored soldier intervened. "Do you know anything about these Neo-Yakuza? Perhaps their base of operation?"
"Neo-Yakuza are known for their secrecy. Those 3 men definitely were new, and they presumably don't know anything about the secrets behind the army. All they know is that they are making an army of Characters, nothing more, nothing less." Yukari answered, slipping back to her gap, her bottom half invisible through the gap portal. "However, I do know where you can gather information about them."
"Go to this location. You will be able to find a very familiar figure there." Yukari commented before completely emerging into the gap, handing Yuuka a paper note. The note said this:
"Old Ghost's Antique Store", Kawaguchi District, Tokyo.
"Kawaguchi District... that's North of here." The armored soldier commented, putting the gun back to his waist.
"Lead the way." Yuuka gestured her hands to the soldier to lead, and the soldier did so. The vixen followed the soldier, and Yuuka the vixen.
This may be a bad idea. Yuuka thought.
But then, Yukari always knows what she's doing, so I can't worry too much. Besides, these two seems like folks I can hang around.
