Again, the bad decision Sasaki made regarding Elsa came back to bite him in the ass. I'm sort of glad that Akutsu was not incompetent, he did find out about their secret warehouse.
The boss should have watched Frieren instead of drawing from video games, Pii-chan would have had a harder fight 🤣
If I were Sasaki I would feel no incentive to rescue the Bureau, they first tried to put cameras in his house, was monitoring him with drones, and had just now sold him out to Shizuka's boss.
What did the Bureau want anyway? "This place is going to become a war zone and we are flying you right in?" He should just stop using his other abilities (he should be hiding them anyway) and just let the magical girls trash the place. With any luck, they would be too busy dealing with the aftermath to leave him alone with more time for his otherworldly enterprise.
One thing about Sasaki-san is that a defining part of his identity as a person consists of his traditional roots: he is humble, diligent, and loyal. He is loyal to his nation, Japan, and the Bureau is serving that nation. It is an extension of his homeland's will, and he respects the service it performs for Japan. Their goal is, as stated, the regulation of psionic paranormal phenomena. Events have demonstrated the necessity of this mission. It is solely through his calm, rational professionalism that several potential conflicts have been de-escalated. Sasaki-san is the essential ideal agent of such an organization, at least in terms of his ethics and interpersonal skills. Everyone benefits from cooperation and he generates cooperation like it's his actual superpower. I admire it quite a bit!
Akutsu might feel that Sasaki was not being completely honest with them, and I can see why he wanted him under surveillance. He might be "just" using Shizuka's boss to test out Sasaki's abilities but IMO that was going too far and was betrayal.
I agree with what you said though, and hope that Sasaki's loyalty works out for him in the end.
