An announcement played throughout the venue. “All suit attendees, please come to the event stage at once. I repeat: we have important fire safety measures to explain, so all suit attendees, please come to the event stage at once. This includes non-staff participants...”

“What are ‘suit attendees’?” Kyoko asked Sousuke.

“You’ll see soon enough.”

Soon, all the present “suit attendees” arrived at the stage—three hundred Bonta-kuns.

Every single Bonta-kun at the event was now here, a mass of button eyes gazing up at Whi-Bon on the stage. Red, blue, black, emerald, sapphire, gold. Halloween-style, Santa-style, kimono-style, camouflage-style—they were Bonta-kuns of all colors and types.

“Th-There’s so many...” Kaname said, her mouth agape. “You beat all those yakuza with just seven of these guys, so this might be enough, right?”

“Well, they’re all non-combat mascots. They’re just wearing normal suits,” Sousuke clarified, “not the enhanced kind.”

“I’m not sure how I feel about there being combat mascots...” muttered Kyoko.

The Bonta-kun suit that Sousuke wore was a kind of power suit, mounted with an array of electronic weaponry. It had a power assist function, along with bullet and blade resistance. Without going into how Sousuke came to have such a suit, suffice it to say that the other Bonta-kuns present were pure hobbyists.

Ignoring their conversation, Whi-Bon AKA Representative Fumozawa explained the situation to the suit participants. “Fumoffu, fumoffu,” Whi-Bon said. “Fumo fumo fumoffu. Fumo moffuru. Moffu fumo-fumo, fumofumoma...”

Upon hearing those words, the three hundred Bonta-kuns fell into a panic.

“Fumo fumoffu!” a Bonta-kun said accusingly.

“Fumo fumo...” Whi-Bon said, admitting his fault. Then he went on to passionately explain, “Fumoffu. Moffuru moffuru, fumo moffu. Fumo, fumo fumo, mofurufumo? Moffu! Fumo fumo fumoffu, fumo fumo!”

The three hundred were taken aback by his grim determination, but stoically nodded to each other with exclamations of, “Fumoffu! Fumoffu! Fumoffu!”

Whi-Bon explained even more fervently. “Fumoffu, fumo fumo? Moffu, fumo!”

Yes, it was true...

“Fumo, fumoffu!”

He was right, but...

“Moffu! Fumoffu! Fumoffuru!”

These words resonated deeply within them:

Behold us here, heaven and earth. We gather together with paws bound. This we swear: bring freedom to the fumos! We will fight. We will put our lives on the line so that this day will be known throughout history as a second Thermopylae!

Well... that might not have been exactly what Fumozawa was saying. But nevertheless, his words still inspired the three hundred Bonta-kuns, and they all raised their stubby arms before letting out a dramatic war cry that shook the event hall.

“Fumoooooo!”

Taking directions from the staff, the three hundred began preparations to meet the attack.
