Summary: The Shining One is missing! Alcor seeks help from Keita.
Keita is punching his sand bag as usual when the Anguished One appeared.
Of course, with the Septentrione appearing out of nowhere all of a sudden had earned him an unintentional punch on the face by the boxer who turned behind and threw a punch in the air, which landed on Alcor's face.
The Septentrione felt little pain, but rubbed his nose anyway. "Why did you do that?" he asked.
"Do what? Oh, you mean punching you in the face," Keita said, taking off his boxing gloves. "Instinct. Not that I mean to, it's just that you appeared at the wrong place and at the wrong time, that's all. Do I need to apologize?"
"I see." Alcor said, still rubbing his nose. "No, I don't think an apology is needed."
"So why are you here?" Keita asked suspiciously. "I thought you have things to do with your 'Shining One'."
"Why yes, this is exactly why I am here. Shining Ones requires your presence." Alcor said, holding out his hand. "He wants you to follow him somewhere."
"No." Keita said shortly as he began kicking the sandbag.
"My, man sure has different opinions. Tell me, Keita Wakui. Why don't you want to go?" Alcor asked, hovering next to him.
"Don't feel the need to, He can defend himself." Keita said, kicking the sandbag again. "I'll only help only when they ask for it, to my face."
"I see. That's the problem, Keita Wakui. Shining One is missing." Alcor said palm covering his mouth.
"Oh, I see. Wait… what?" Keita said, confused.
"I said…" Alcor began before Keita interrupted him.
"Yes, I know, Hibiki's kidnapped, but how?" Keita asked Alcor.
"Unfortunately, I'm not sure. I can't seem to sense Shining One anywhere. I asked a few people before you and none of them saw Shining One. You're the fifth one I asked about today." Alcor said to Keita.
"Oh. I don't really care, but what did the others said?" Keita asked, still kicking the sand bag.
"Daichi Shijima… he, what you humans called, freak out? Yes, that the word. Io Nitta went to search for him. I did not contact anyone in JPs, but I told Shining One's disappearance to Hinako Kujou and Jungo Torii. Each of them started a search for Shining One at their respective places." Alcor said.
"I see. So I don't need to do anything then." Keita said, putting his boxing gloves back on. "Hinako and the others are looking for him after all."
"Don't you want to help?" Alcor asked.
"No. If I want to, I'll help find him. Alone." Keita said. "Fine, I'll help you look for him after I'm done with practice."
"Thank you very much, Keita Wakui." Alcor said, disappearing.
"You're a real pain, you know that Hibiki?" Keita said as Hibiki came out of the sandbag.
"Ouch, can't you kick lighter?" Hibiki asked, nursing his wounds. "You nearly kill me."
"Stop whining! Do you want HIM back at your heels?" Keita glared at him darkly.
"I-I… no." Hibiki said looking at the side. "Anything to avoid him."
"Anything? What did he do?" Keita asked smugly.
"N-None of your…" Hibiki said before Keita started to yell.
"Oh, Alllllc~" Keita yelled. Hibiki hid in the sandbag. "F-Fine! I'll tell you!" he yelled out from the sandbag.
Keita stopped, looking at him or rather, the sandbag.
"That creep had been following me for weeks." Hibiki said, "He wouldn't leave me alone! Even when I'm in the toilet!"
Keita laughed, putting on his boxing gloves. "That bad, huh? Well, you'll have to endure the punches and kicks if you want to hide there. I'm not going to use anything else as a practice dummy, you know."
Keita keeps throwing punches on the bag, despite Hibiki being in it. "Just remember, you owe me one," he said punching the sandbag.
A/N: I guess I'm not really good at portraying Alcor with Keita, can't blame me either as Keita only talked to Al Saiduq ONCE and that is if you place him as the last person in your party AND went through Al Saiduq's Kingmaker Route... This is a short one as I have no idea what to do if Alcor finds out that Keita's keeping the Shining One. XD
