Psycho-Pass
Some more Psycho Pass Radio Dramas, particularly those with Kagari (TT_TT)
Steamy onsen romance, 24 hours a day
Kougami(monologue): On that day, we, Unit 1 of the CID, left Tokyo, heading to a far away location in the mountains of the Kanto region in order to investigate serial suspicious objects found in the 'Frog' express shipments.
Kougami: Ah, nowadays field investagations that require having to stay away from the office are rare, but even with that said, I would never have guessed that we'd stay for the night in an onsen lodge. Somehow, it makes a guy nervous, you know.
Masaoka: Don't say that, Kou. Detectives like us work our asses off for the citizens for days on end. I'm sure they'll forgive it if we indulge in a small pleasurable bonus like this for a bit. Oh, what a nice-looking bath! Let's see... First, let's wash a little... I heard they have an open-air bath as well, but let's warm up here for now.
Kougami: Agreed.
Masaoka: *grunts* This is quite... This bath requires guts, Kou. Prepare yourself and get in.
Kougami: Geez, it's just getting into a bath! Talk about exaggerating. Hot...! What's with this bath?! There's a limit to how hot the water can be!
Masaoka: Well, this place a famous hot spring resort, after all. No wonder the water in here is almost boiling. What's wrong? Giving up already?
Kougami: Tch. As if, Pops. *grunts and groans* Ooh! Mn! Phew! Once you get in up to the neck, it's nothing special. Huh?
Masaoka: What is it?
Kougami: I thought I heard Tsunemori's voice just now.
Masaoka: That's because the women's bath is right behind this screen.
Kougami: Oh, really? That's one flimsy screen, if you ask me...
Masaoka: Well, I suppose the reason is this was a mixed bath originally. Even now, if you look from this spot, you can perfectly see what's going in the women's bath!
Kougami: Huh?!
Masaoka: It's a joke. Like it ever can be true! And what are you getting so flustered for, Kou?
Kougami: Give me a break, will you! Geez, I'm getting out first.
Masaoka: You're still so young, Kou. I'll take my time soaking in here for a bit more.
---cutscene---
Ginoza: What, you already done bathing for tonight?
Kougami: As if I can relax and laze away in the bath in the middle of investigation.
Ginoza: Hn, you have a point. *phone call* Inspector Tsunemori? Did something happen? What?! A peeping tom appeared in the women's bath?! Hey, Kougami, let's go!
Kougami: Yeah, right, roger. Already rushing to the scene...
---end cutscene---
Kougami(monologue): In the end, we couldn't find the peeping tom Inspector Tsunemori allegedly spotted. It was deemed that she had made a mistake, and the turmoil saw its conclusion at that. However...
Ginoza: What's wrong, Kougami? Still mulling over that peeping tom incident?
Kougami: Yeah... I don't think Inspector Tsunemori was mistaken. But excluding us, there were no other customers at that inn that night, and all the inn workers had an alibi... which begs a question: how exactly did the perpetrator even sneak into that bathhouse?
Masaoka: Alrighty then, I'll call it a day for today.
Kougami: You've been taking off from work rather early lately, Pops.
Masaoka: That's because I want to go back to my room and finish the picture I work on as soon as possible.
Kougami: I see, that oil-painting hobby of yours... What kind of picture do you work on so enthusiastically?
Masaoka: Something that was inspired by our field investigation the other day. This time, it's nude painting! In particular, I challenged the female nude. Now if you will excuse me.
Kougami: Say, Gino... Who chose that onsen inn the other day as our lodging?
Ginoza: Masaoka. He strongly recommended it since he visited it once before in the past...
Kougami&Ginoza: Don't tell me...!!!
Sometimes the hue can stay clear 24 hours a day
Kagari(monologue): I was 5 when I was branded a latent criminal. After that, I spent my days undergoing treatment to improve my crime coefficient, getting dragged from one correctional facility to another and feeling like a guinea pig. That's why, when I started working as an Enforcer, I was angry at the so called wholesome citizens who needed latent criminals they didn't even treat as humans to protect them. I didn't consider this kind of work something I wanted to do.
Kagari: First add seasoning, then mix in gelatin into frothed cream cheese and pour the mixture into the cake pan sprinkled with cookies. Now put it into a fridge to cool off, and that's it! Our cheese cake is ready!
Tsunemori: Huh, you're so good at cooking, as always, Kagari-kun.
Kagari: Hehehe, yeah, I guess.
Tsunemori: It might be not my place to be asking this, considering that I, too, gorged myself on your handmade food before, but still: doesn't the calorie count go through the roof if you cook your meals by hand?
Kagari: So what if it does? All the humans will die regardless of what they eat. Perfect food, perfect healthcare... No matter how perfect those things are, everybody will still die eventually.
Tsunemori: Oh...
Kagari: What's important is the process, Akane-chan. I spend my time and efforts on cooking because I want to enjoy my journey through life while I'm still alive. You can call me Cooking Idol, by the way.
Tsunemori: I'm not calling you that.
Kagari: So, what is it you wanted with me? For an important Inspector to deign to come all the way down to the den of a hunting dog like me, there must be a good reason. Especially when our squad is on a break until the next case comes in...
Tsunemori: I just wondered where Kougami-san might be...
Kagari: As an Inspector, you can find out the whereabouts of an Enforcer via your portable terminal at any moment, no?
Tsunemori: Well, somehow, I would rather refrain from using it outside work and really pressing matters... For some reason, I feel like it's a bit...
Kagari: A bit what?
Tsunemori: Ah, no, nothing.
Kagari: Hm... *sighs* He's in the training room, no doubt.
---cutscene---
Ginoza: That damn Kagari... What is this crap even supposed to be? A report? Good grief... We're on a long awaited break, yet there's no end in sight for me, not with this workload... And Inspector Tsunemori is heartless. The moment her shift ended, she got up and went away somewhere, never even having a thought of helping her senpai with this pile of work... Ah, no good, I should stop getting distracted. Gotta calm down and finish this work up already.
---end cutscene---
Kagari: See? He's here, just like I told you. Oh? And Pops Masaoka is here, too, huh. So energetic, even though he's an old man already, but just look at him also trying his best, eh.
Tsunemori: Indeed. I only hope he doesn't get himself injured...
Kagari: When I look at them spar like that I'm reminded of the time when I was just assigned to Unit 1.
Tsunemori: Hm?
---flashback---
Kagari(thoughts): The nagging 4-eyes doesn't seem like he'll give me trouble if I do what he says adequately enough. But first I gotta do something about the most troublesome Enforcer in my way...
Kagari: Enforcer Kougami? Can I talk to you?
Kougami: What is it?
Kagari: I was wondering if you could agree to spar with me for a bit.
Kougami: That's rather out of the blue.
Kagari: Well, I just thought that for latent criminals like us, it's gonna be a lot easier to understand each other talking with our fists instead of empty words.
Kougami: Just say things as they are. Kagari Shuusei, was it? You think that if you can take me down, you'll be able to do whatever you please in Unit 1, right? What a bad boy.
Kagari: Well, it makes it so much easier for me if you're quick on uptake. You might be a senpai, but which one of us gets to be on top - let's determine it once and for all here and now.
Kagari(thoughts): Kougami is a former Inspector. He might be a latent criminal now, but that doesn't change the fact that he's been a pampered member of the elite for a long time. Against me who kept training all the time while in the correctional facilities, he doesn't stand a chance.
*they spar*
Kougami: Well, sorry for accidentally breaking your arm. But don't worry, they have skillful doctors here and the cutting edge surgical equipment. It'll heal before you know it.
Kagari: Just what the hell are you?! You're one of the elite, even if ex! Why are you so damn strong?!
Kougami: That's cause I still have a lot of things to do, newbie. But I gotta admit, you're not half bad yourself.
Kagari: Well, thank you, Enforcer Kougami.
Kougami: It's not like I don't know what it feels like to be locked up in a correctional facility. And I wanna say that working as an Enforcer is fun, Kagari.
Kagari: Enforcer Kougami, does that mean--
Kougami: That's a really stiff way to call me, you know? You can address me more casually. We're collegues, after all. And I'm a former member of the elite.
Kagari: Alright, then I'll call you Kou-chan.
Kougami: Now that's way too familiar.
---end flashback---
Kagari: Hehehe.
Tsunemori: Kagari-kun, why do you keep grinning to yourself?
Kagari: Hm? It's a secret. Oh, looks like they finally decided to take a break. Hey, Kou-chan!
Kougami: Kagari? What are you doing here? Came to spar with me for a change, like in good old times?
Kagari: Heh, you gotta be kidding. I just escorted Akane-chan here.
Kougami: Tsunemori? What is it? Did something happen?
Tsunemori: Um, Kougami-san, actually...
Kagari(monologue): I still loathe the world of the so called wholesome citizens, but I enjoy working as an Enforcer. Not as a shield for them, but as a hound for Unit 1 of the Criminal Investigation Department with the Public Safety Bureau where there're Kou-chan, Akane-chan, Gino-san, Kunicchi, Pops, sensei... The place where all of them are is the place where I belong.
Drama C83 Having fun! Winter festival, 24 hours a day
Ginoza(monologue): With the data medium shifting from analog to digital, books remained interesting only to a limited group of enthusiasts. Old books were valued especially highly and sold at a high price. However, there existed a possibility that extreme content of some of them could influence the psycho-pass of their readers negatively, and, in reality, there were quite a few cases when radical books caused the crime coefficient to go up to the point when sending the reader to a correctional facility was in order. On New Year's Eve, we were alerted that books that cause deretioration of one's psycho-pass were being sold at the event for book lovers held in the Tokyo Bay district. We promptly headed to the event hall.
Kagari: Gee, what a troublesome bunch! The books they sold weren't even all that dangerous. Makes you wonder what we even came all the way here for. Oh, by the way, where's Gino-san?
Kougami: Went to the organizers to clarify the situation. We're on standby here until he gets back.
Kagari: Hm... Sheesh, to think that there are still so many books fans out there, eh... I heard they hold big events in summer and in winter, but their zeal is really something... Just watching them makes me wanna join in the fun, you know?
Kougami: Kagari, we're not here for entertainment, you do realize?
Kagari: Yeah, I'm aware, I'm aware. But you know, we'll probably never get another chance to come to a place like this, so looking around a bit won't hurt, right? *thud* Oh, sorry. Huh? Hey, wait!
Kougami: What happened?
Kagari: The girl who just bumped into me... This papper bag fell out of her wheelie bag, but she didn't notice and went away...
Kougami: If it's something she dropped, then just hand it over to a member of the event's staff.
Kagari: Right. Can't be helped, gotta find someone from the staff. Um, staff, staff... Huh? Eh?! Eeeh?!
Kougami: What is it this time, Kagari?
Kagari: The guy over there...! His papper bag is full of limited edition action figures! Do they actually sell them here?! Uh, I think I can't hold myself back anymore... Kou-chan, I'm sorry, but I'll be away for a little bit, so here, take the bag that girl dropped and get it to the staff.
Kougami: Hold it, Kagari! We have orders to stanby here, remember?! Hey, Kagari!
Kagari: Crap, this is seriously awesome!
Kougami: Kah... the guy is hopeless...
---cutscene---
Ginoza: What's wrong, Kougami? Why are you spacing out? And where's Kagari?
Kougami: Ah, well, about that...
Ginoza: Could it be that the two of you... Hey, show me what's in the papper bag you're holding.
Kougami: Ah, this?
Ginoza: Hn? I thought so. Shopping while on duty, huh? I didn't expect you to fall that low, Kougami. This is outrageous.
Kougami: Now, Gino, calm down, will ya. You're misunderstanding the situation. This bag was dropped by one of the visitors, and I'm trying to find a staff member to hand it to them...
Ginoza: Don't lie so blatantly. What on earth did you buy anyway? What is this thin book... Guh! This is...!
Kougami: Ah?
Ginoza: Kougami... I never could've thought that you're... into such a...
Kougami: Gino, what's wrong with you? Are you OK? What the hell is so horrible written in this book?
Ginoza: Gah! Stop! Don't get any closer to me! Don't make me a fallen person like yourself! No thank you!
Kougami: Huh?...
Ginoza: Hn? What is this crowd?
Kougami: No idea... Looks like people determinedly heading to buy something... Sorry, step aside. Hey! Don't push!
Ginoza: We're with the Public Safety Bureau. Make way please! No! This is no cosplay! Don't take photos of me!!!
---cutscene---
Kougami: Shit, we finally got back to the meeting point... Geez, that was horrible...
Ginoza: To think that we had to make a full circle around the hall before we got a chance to escape and go back...
Kagari: Guys, where have you been all this time?! We're on duty here, remember?!
Kougami: Kagari! It's all started because of you leaving me with that bag and taking off on your own to do some shopping in the first place! Now explain everything to Gino clearly, will you!
Kagari: Shopping? Kou-chan, what on earth are you talking about? I just went to use the bathroom, is all! Besides, if I really had gone shopping like you're saying, then where are all the goodies I bought? I have none on me and there're no lockers anywhere in this place!
Ginoza: Indeed, Kagari has a point. Kougami, I expect a written report from you with a detailed explanation later. You better prepare yourself.
Kougami: Hey, Gino, wait! I really didn't buy this kind of book, I swear!
Ginoza: Enough, Kougami. You don't know when to give up.
Kagari: Hehehe, I simply had all the figures I bought sent to my residence. It's only natural that Frog Express has a service point at a big event like this! You two are so naive.
What can I say... Kagari talks like a punk in the flashback, Masaoka is a perv, and who wanna bet that book was a very explicit yaoi dojinshi? XDDD
K project
And also Kamamoto and Anna's side stories from K Side Story Collection. Kamamoto's seems to be relevant to chapter 9 of K Memory of Red, since it does look like the girl that was introduced in that chapter is the same as the one in Kamamoto's side story.
Side story: Kamamoto Rikio
"Hello! Kamamoto liquor shop! What can I do for you? Ah, hi, Yata-san! Ramen? Yes, count me in, count me in! Ah? You heard a girl's voice? Please just ignore it. A childhood friend of mine came to visit, is all! It's Sunday, so she's pestering me to go with her to the cinema or to an amusement park. Girlfriend? Ahahaha, please gimme a break, Yata-san! She's nothing like that! She's a lot more like a little sister to me!
...Whoa! Don't start yelling all of a sudden! Yes, I know perfectly well you're not really my sister. And don't call me Ricchan! It's embarrassing! Look, you're already 16, so stop tossing around words like 'I love you!' so casually. It's OK when it's me, but if you say something like that to other people, they're bound to misunderstand you. What do you mean you want me to misunderstand as well? No, I'm telling you you really shouldn't--
...Ah, I'm sorry, Yata-san! So what about ramen? I'm ready to go anyti... Huh? Yata-san? Yata-san? Hello? Can you hear me? Yata-saaan? How strange... The line got cut off.
...What? Yes, I got some free time on my hands now, but that doesn't mean anything... Ah, alright, alright, I get it! I'll go with you, satisfied?! Where do you wanna go anyway, the cinema or amusement park? Both?! Aah, goddammit, that's the whole day down the drain... Don't go grabbing my hand now!"
Side story: Kushina Anna
It was snowing.
"Anna, let's make a snowman!" Tatara offered.
He made Anna put on a fluffy coat, wollen mittens and a hat before letting her outside.
To the girl who could see no colors except for red the world covered in snow looked hollow. But she had fun rolling snowballs made out of cold crunchy snow with Tatara and making a big snowman with them. She got engrossed in the process, and the snowman turned out great, but there was one thing she regretted.
"I only wish it was red."
When she said to Tatara that the colorless showman seemed hollow to her, Tatara thought for a few moments, folding his arms on his chest, then said to her to wait and disappeared somewhere.
Before long, he reappeared carrying a transparent bottle filled with red water. "I bought some red paint and solved it in water."
Having said that, Tatara began to carefully pour the red liquid on to the snowman starting from the top of its head. Although the snowman melted a little upon the contact with the water, it was gradually getting colored in red. To Anna, it was like magic being worked.
"So beautiful..."
Suddenly, she heard a voice from behind. "Hey."
She turned and saw Mikoto standing there. "Mikoto, look!" She rushed to him, grabbing the edge of his jacket.
Unusually for him, Mikoto had a somewhat troubled expression on his face. "...You're stressed out or what?"
Tatara only craned his neck to the side, perplexed by the King's question.
"I mean, why did the two of you have to make a blood-soaked snowman, pray tell?"
Do we need the other 5 side stories translated into English, or it's been already done/not interested? Oh, and also Psycho Pass Zero (a summary of what's going on, probably; though I do translate it into another language, retranslating it into English will take too much time...)
