KI!"Hanzawa declares open war against Tokyo Chuo when he becomes an official advisor to Spiral, which Cyber Acrobatics had been seeking to acquire.

However, to save face, Tokyo Chuo, at vice-president Mikasa’s urging, tries to pressure Cyber Acrobatics into accepting an additional investment of 50 billion yen so it can buy up Spiral’s stock.

However, he is soon faced with the unenviable task of restructuring Teikoku Airways, the nation’s largest air transport company, which is on the verge of bankruptcy. The government is proposing to cancel 70% of the company’s debt to each of several large banks, including Tokyo Chuo.

And he soon finds that a seemingly insurmountable obstacle stands in his way...

The Government's Assassin Bares His Fangs: Kurosaki On Stage!"Hanzawa is determined to resist the government’s demand that the big banks write off 50 billion yen in Teikoku Airways debt. Hanzawa and his team instead craft a restructuring plan that prioritizes saving employee jobs. But the government is unsympathetic and tells him to scrap his plan and start over.

He is surprised to see that Teikoku Airway’s money-losing flight to Ise-Shima has been taken off the list of routes to be abolished. Then he realizes that Minobe, a powerful ruling-party politician who represents Ise-Shima, was responsible for building the local airport!
