Text: It's been three months since that incident...
Murasaki: Three months have passed since the Minimum Holder incident that Moral caused. The rebellion completely petered out, and I suppose it's safe to say that the residents of Yokohama got back their normal lives. In addition, the extreme racism towards Minimum Holders increased. However, erasing a bad image that's already there is more difficult than anything. Even so, this town is trying to look forward and change. I've got to think that, or what you did won't be repaid... Nice.

Yokohama Minimum problem
Yokohama Minimum calming of the situation

Woman: Anyway, my job for you is for you to capture a stalker! Find that perverted invisibilty guy and catch him!

Text: Murasaki, who lost Nice, forms a team with Hajime, and restarts his business of accepting odd jobs.
Birthday: To think that Hajime would take over for Nice...
Ratio: She probably has a lot of things she's taking into consideration.
Honey: Why aren't there any job requests coming in!?
Three: Isn't it because we aren't trusted?
Honey: I guess people really are pulling away from us after that riot...

Text: The town of Yokohama begins to move once again after his appearance
Murasaki: So in the end, it turns into this...
Text: The Minimum Battle passed on from the previous series
Hajime: I'll do it.
Koneko: We might not be able to hold it back anymore...
Text: They move forward, even as they are burdened with worries and discord,
Text: And each moves closer to their own reply (answer).
Hikaru: You're...?
Art: The one who gathers sins... I guess?
Text: And so, he begins to move as well...
