The Otaku Who Knew Too Little Part 8

*Returning to London, Kenji drives the group out of town and they arrive on the outskirts of a manor*

(Nitsuj): So, this is where you’re holding up at huh? Surprised it hasn’t come under attack.

(Kenji): This land and manor are owned by the royal family. Only a select few are allowed in.

*Kenji drives up to the manor’s gate and presses the call button*

(Speaker): Who is it?

(Kenji): It’s Goemon. Once again I have cut something worthless.

*The gate soon opens and Kenji drives on through. He pulls up and enters the garage where a butler of middle age is there to greet everyone*

(Butler): Welcome back master Kenji. A good evening to you as well Miss Neo.

(Kenji): Everyone this here is Anthony. Head butler of the manor and all-around good man.

(Anthony): A pleasure to meet you. I am Anthony and I can only assume that you are Nitsuj and his friends.

*Everyone introduces themselves to Anthony*

(Anthony): A pleasure to meet you all. Rest assured as long as you’re here, you’ll be provided with nothing but the best service. Can I get anyone something to drink? A hot towel?

(Chris): I could go for some herbal tea.

(Corbin): Do you have any snow cones here? I could go for one.

(Anthony): Very good. I’ll get started on that. Shall we perform maintenance on your sword Master Kenji?

(Kenji): Yes please. Also, is Lisa here?

(Anthony): She’s down below. She’s waiting for all of you.

(Kenji): Come on guys, this way.

*Kenji leads them into the manor where they see a bunch of butlers and maids performing duties as well as a bunch of men and women conversing with each other. They finally reach an elevator and go down to the basement. When they arrive, they see a whole facility where people are working and Anthony is there waiting for them*

(Anthony): Your herbal tea and snow cone.

(Chris): Wah! How’d you get here so fast?

(Anthony): I took the stairs. They’re faster in my opinion. Please enjoy. Also, I’ve prepared rooms for our guests in the manor and have taken your luggage up there as well.

(Nitsuj): Thank you.

(Kenji): That’ll be all Anthony. Thanks.

*Anthony bows and takes his leave*

(Mira): He’s good.

(Neo): You have no idea.

*A mature lady with brunette hair and blue eyes walks up to the group*

(Mature woman): Welcome back Kenji. Good job out there.

(Kenji): Everyone this is Lisa Nights, director of the AI6?

(Chris): Ah~, so this is AI6.

(Baron): You’ve heard of them?

(Chris): Of course. They’re a secret service here in the UK that handles all anime related activity. They’re basically the UK version of the AIA.

(Lisa): Just think of us as your cousins from across the pond. It’s a pleasure to meet all of you, especially you Nitsuj. I’m a big fan of your work.

*Nitsuj shakes Lisa’s hand*

(Nitsuj): I heard stories of the UK having their own anime operation, but I never expected to find something this elaborate.

(Lisa): *Chuckles* We get that a lot. I must apologize for your rough treatment earlier today. If we had acted sooner this kidnapping could have been prevented.

(Seras): Who were those guys anyway?

(Nitsuj): I think Neo called them the Order of Iustitia Socialis.

(Lisa): That’s correct. They’re an underground organization that’s been around for years. Anything that involves social justice, chances are high they’re behind it. They work from the shadows slowly manipulating the UK with social reforms.

(Nitsuj): Man, and I thought America had it bad with SJWs. So what’s their beef with anime?

(Lisa): Over the last year there’s been articles in the newspapers and on the news talking about anime and the negative impact it’s had in the UK. Articles such as how My Hero Academia demeans women, how the author of One Piece is sexist, how Pokémon supports Nazism, and even ridiculous articles such as Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure hates transvestites and how Nekopara supports slavery. As time went on things started getting even more ridiculous such as the necessary censorship of some scenes in anime and in video games. I knew something was wrong here, so I sent a few agents out there to investigate this strange string of articles.

(Kenji): That’s when they found me. I was also doing an investigation on these articles and traced them back to a journalist group. I met up with Lisa and told her I wanted to help out. After a few months of investigating we discovered the Order of Iustitia Socialis and uncovered their master plan. They want to ban anime all over the UK.

(The whole group): WHAT!

(Shizuku): You can’t just ban a form of media.

(Lisa): Apparently, you can. In a few days Parliament will be voting on banning anime throughout the UK. All anime streaming services will be blocked, anyone caught visiting streaming sites will be arrested, and the selling and purchasing of anime related products will be strictly forbidden.

(Nitsuj): So you’re telling me a bunch of SJWs who have probably never watched an anime in their entire life are trying to ban anime in this country because they don’t like it?

(Kenji): That about sums it up.

(Nitsuj): Anthony.

(Anthony): Yes Master Nitsuj?

(Nitsuj): Could I trouble you to perform maintenance on my swords?

(Anthony): Not at all sir. I’ll get started on that at once.

(Nitsuj): I said I didn’t want to get involved, but it looks like it just became personal. Lisa, what can we do to help you guys out?

(Lisa): I’d rather you not get involved. You are in protective custody.

(Isis): With all due respect these guys already attacked Nitsuj and I’m sure they’ll be attacking him again. In my opinion, it only makes sense if you bring us onboard.

(Yin-Yang): Even if you don’t, we’ll just do our own investigation.

(Kenji): They make good points Lisa. I can vouch for these guys they can take care of themselves and will be a good asset to the mission.

(Lisa): Well if Kenji is vouching for you, what do you recommend we do next?

(Nitsuj): I suggest hacking into the sites that have been posting all these articles.

(Lisa): We tried that, they’re all proxy sites from all over the UK and they were all created under fake names.

(Mira): No problem. Leave that to us.

(Chris): I can also lend a helping hand as well on that end.

(Isis): Sure you can keep up with us?

(Chris): Don’t underestimate me.

(Nitsuj): Alright. Isis, Mira, Chibi, Chris and Yume will investigate the sites that post the articles. See what you guys can find. Jack Bros., use some of your magic to go out into the city and see what you can dig up on the Order of Iustitia Socialis. Seras, Yin-Yang, and Shizuku you guys are gonna help me with Neo.

(Neo): Me?

(Nitsuj): We are going to create you your third weapon as well as train you.

(Seras): You have good defenses, but your fighting could use some work. Luckily, you’ve got us to help you.

(Nitsuj): Shizuku will focus on your strength, Yin-Yang will focus on your speed, and Seras will work on your technique. I have a weapon in mind for you. We just need to increase your stats. Think you can handle it?

(Neo): Yes! Please take care of me!

*Neo bows her*

(Shizuku): That’s the spirit. You guys have an A.R.T room we can use?

(Lisa): I’m not sure what an A.R.T room is, but we do have an Augmented Reality Training Environment or A.R.T.E for short.

(Nitsuj): That works. Let’s get started folks, we’ll convene tomorrow morning with our findings.

*Everybody walks off to do their own thing as Kenji stands there smiling and proud at the way Nitsuj was able to grasp the situation and give everyone assignments*
