In Tokyo, a Married Woman Kneels Before Me, Begging Me to Spare Her

According to incomplete statistics, ever since Kurosaki Ryuichi replaced the Yamaguchi-gumi as the leader of Neon City's top underworld organization,

Neon's crime rate has been steadily climbing.

In response, Kurosaki Ryuichi, dubbed "Neon's Number One Philanthropist," "Showa's Most Passionate Man," and "The Man Behind the Heisei Loser Label," said:

"This is nothing but slander."

"Sure, I'm part of the underworld."

"But whenever the country or its people are in trouble, I'm always the first to step up!"

"There's never been any evidence linking me to those terrorists!"

An indignant reporter asked, "Then why did you demolish all the shrines and turn them into garbage dumps and septic tanks?"

Kurosaki Ryuichi replied with righteous conviction: "Neon has too many people and too little land. If we want to create a clean, beautiful image, shouldn't 'they' do their part?"
