By the time Ishimaru and Kamiya finally manage to get Umemoto into their car and pull away, the reporters have already turned their attention toward Ronin's entrance.
They crowd the doorway, calling out for anyone willing to explain what happened inside.
"Someone from Ronin, come out and explain what happened!"
"Give us a statement! What the hell happened in there?!"
"Ronin! Open the door!"
"We want clarification! What happened between Ryoma and Umemoto?!"
"Is it true the world champion was actually watching porn in the middle of the negotiation?!"
Hayakawa, who is standing just behind the closed entrance, can hear the ridiculous accusation clearly through the door.
His face slowly twists into the expression of a man who has just realized that his morning is about to become much more stupid than he had planned.
Kurogane, of course, eventually steps outside and gives the reporters an explanation for the mysterious sounds Umemoto had apparently mistaken for pornography.
