It was still a sunny afternoon on the oil platform. Rig and Hayate have gathered at the bar, once again, just to catch a drink after the hard work. Hayate, for once, decided to help Rig in what he normally did, although his mind was still in thoughts about the fact that when they did that task for the Italian vigilante, Riccardo, everything was recorded. Hayate tried to get in contact with the Italian to know why he recorded everything and putting it on the news, but so far nothing. He then decided to stop thinking about it and worry about this later. The Canadian delightfully let the cool, refreshing, alcoholic liquid slowly run down his throat, thus enjoying every single shot he took. Hayate, who slowly grew fond of Rig, simply had to chuckle and shake his head at how his partner drank already and he didn't get all drowsy yet.
"How aren't you drunk yet? You had four whole bottles so far." The ninja asked.
The response he got after that was simply a happy chuckle from Rig who was taking and opening the fifth bottle to drink it.
"Hahaha, you should have seen how I spent most of my time here with my good friend, Bass! We once drank more than eight beers!" Rig exclaimed.
Hayate folded his arms as he sat on the stool and looked at the other people around them while a small grin was formed on his lips.
"Oh really? Then I'm glad I wasn't there...I don't want to imagine how much ruckus you and this person might have caused."
Rig could simply maintain his smug on his face.
"Oh, please... I would never sink THAT low, my life is way too valuable for that."
"...and your wording never ceases to amaze me." Hayate added.
"And so doesn't your bluntness to me." Rig countered.
The two began to chuckle at the same time. Hayate was now enjoying the company of Rig. So much that he was slowly forgetting how they first met and fully trust him. Although, he knew that it was still not enough. But he admitted that so far everything was going well. While Rig began to drink again, he stopped to ask something in a serious manner before resuming.
"So...he still hasn't responded?"
Hayate understood that the Canadian was talking about Riccardo as he was also curious to know why the Italian recorded while the two were busy dealing with a target the latter assigned to the two.
"No. I tried to call him more than once...but so far no response."
Rig looked away, as he reminisced of everything he had done for the Italian thus far. He scoffed a little before drinking the beer again and then stopping to catch some air.
"I would NOT be surprised, if it came out, that he actually got in trouble for every task he has entrusted us with... after all, he still breaks laws." Rig said.
Hayate nodded as he kept being serious about this. What Rig just said made him reflect for a moment before hoping that what he was thinking in that moment was wrong.
"I just hope that it won't involve us if what you assume is true. It would be the last thing I need. Kasumi would be very disappointed..." The ninja said.
And the mention of that name, made the Canadian raise his eyebrows in curiosity before asking and watching the TV at the same time.
"Speaking of her... let me ask you... why is she always so dead-set on not letting a non-ninja get involved with your clan's affairs? It's not like I am a defenseless infant, who doesn't even know what's going on..."
That didn't made Hayate feel surprised or anything like that since he knew very well what kind of girl Kasumi was.
"That's how she has always been... and in all honesty, I can't blame her." Hayate said.
Rig had to scoff at what the ninja said, but the latter noticed it and he sighed in a bit of annoyance.
"I know what I'm saying because what you saw when we rescued you from that laboratory that day or when you told us how you were captured...was nothing compared to what me, Kasumi, Ayane and Ryu have previously faced. And I can sense that Donovan might plan something even worse than before."
However, despite stating this, Rig still felt the need to assist regardless of what could possibly happen. And this made Hayate roll his eyes.
"And I stay by my word: I am going to assist you as best as I can. After all, I still have a debt with this dude. Allow me to repay it."
"There we go again..."
"Let me tell you... I am not going to be held back by you, once shit starts to get real, alright? Because I am THAT kind of guy. I live to win."
Slowly but surely, Hayate was getting frustrated a little bit at how naïve Rig was…at least in his eyes.
"Clearly, you haven't seen Donovan's tactics yet, have you? Once you face the consequences of your foolishness... I wouldn't spill such puns, if I were you..." Hayate told him.
Rig reacted with what seemed like indifference while he finally finished the fifth bottle. Then he looked at the ninja with a confident grin, despite Hayate not returning it since the latter took this seriously.
"If we all work together, we might have chance without anything going wrong. Also...about that 'thing'...that doppelgänger of mine. I know you might have an unfinished business with him...But the same goes for me."
The last part of Rig's sentence was overheard by someone who just entered the bar. His voice took over and interrupted the whole chat Rig and Hayate where having.
"That's ironic...Because I have an unfinished business with YOU right now."
And when Rig and Hayate turned their heads, they saw no other than the winner of the 5th tournament, the man of the hour... Jann Lee. He slowly entered the bar, before stopping before the ninja and the Canadian, while having a confident smug on his face.
"Who would have seriously thought, that I'd find you here... oh wait, I did." He said.
Rig remained confused since he talked as if the two were old friends, but he just did not recall.
"You... have I seen you before?" Rig asked.
Despite this, Jann Lee maintained his smug on his face as he clenched his right fist to see if Rig remembered anything.
"Don't you remember last time? We had our bout. I'm waiting for my rematch!" Jann Lee said. But incredibly to Rig...even to Jann Lee, he was confused at what the Chinese was saying.
"What are you...saying?" The Canadian questioned.
Upon hearing that...Jann Lee widened his eyebrows in surprise in a comical way as he attempted to explain everything in a quick way.
"What? You're kidding me aren't you? Don't you remember when I was knocking out that drunken ass and you tried to stop the fight? Remember when I challenged you to a fight and you beat me at this same place?"
Rig kept being confused... so much in fact, that he didn't even know on how to react to this confession. And it was the same with the Chinese martial artist. It now puzzled him, on how Rig can't remember a thing.
"Uhhhh... did I really fight you...? Because I seriously cannot recall ever having done that. Honestly." Rig said.
"But I am not kidding! I am not stupid, you were there. I could recognize your mug anywhere. And come to me with the bullshit excuse, that I must have mistaken you with someone else, because you can't fool my eyes." Jann Lee countered.
Everything got suddenly interrupted. But surprisingly it wasn't Hayate to do it. It was someone else. More precisely, a young female voice.
"Now there you are! Grrr, and I thought for a second there, Helena was pulling off a prank on me..."
The three turned around in confusion after hearing that voice. And when they did, they could only feel strange right now. It was a little girl with blonde waist-length hair that was held up in twin-pigtails with black ribbons. She wore a black and white modified strapless maid dress, with arm sleeves as well as black boots. The three guys stared at her serious look with hands on her hips...before Rig suddenly talked to Jann Lee.
"Uhh...what were you saying? You were assuming that we fought here right?"
"Yeah."
This clearly made the little girl angry, since it looked like if they were ignoring her. And so she started to raise her voice a little bit.
"HEY! I'm talking to you!"
The boys had to stop once more and had to look at the small girl before Rig made a gesture of ponting at himself.
"Me? "
"Yes, you! Baldy! Are you Rig?" She questioned with irritation.
Rig's reaction to this was to raise his eyebrows in surprise before showing a grin and chuckle. This made the girl literally steam out of her ears in rage, as she comically started to throw her arms up and down.
"Well, ARE YOU?!"
"Yes. And who are you... dwarf?" Rig asked with a wink.
The girl widened her eyes before clenching her fists and comically feel irritated, especially for the way Rig just called her.
"How did YOU just CALL me!?"
But before she could say anything else, Hayate intervened to attempt to put the jokes aside and getting to the point.
"Alright, stop. The last thing we need is an argument because of silly things. So, what's your name? And why are you here, looking for Rig?" He asked in a polite way.
The little Lolita-dressed girl was quick to calm down and answered politely to Hayate.
"That took you long enough. My name is Marie Rose. I am Helena's personal maid and bodyguard. I came here to watch over your bald friend over there." She said.
Jann Lee looked at her and then became suspicious, as he thought to himself, of how strange this feels, seeing a rival of his getting guarded by bodyguards. Especially from a little girl.
"Wait a second... why does this guy need protection? Last time, I checked, he was able to even put someone like me down... is he in danger? And what does that ninja there want from him as well?" Jann Lee asked in confusion.
Hayate however did not listened to Jann Lee's confusion and now he was confused as well since he thought that watching over Rig was his task and no one else's.
"You are saying that...Helena sent you here to watch over Rig? I thought I was only entrusted for this by my sister." Hayate told her.
Marie Rose had to show a small grin before putting her hands behind her back.
"Well that is true...however, lady Helena, decided to give me the chance to assist you in guarding this baldy...considering that she told me this other ninja that appears to be your sister, as you said, was still feeling concerned about this guy's safety. And so lady Helena sent me here." She proudly said.
Rig then facepalmed, as he let out one loud, desperate groan.
"Are you for real now? I can't believe this... does she trust me THIS less? I was fine with ONE bodyguard, but I don't need another one of your kind." Rig said said as he then jumped off his stool and slowly approached Marie.
"Listen kid, your assistance isn't needed here. Go home and tell this fine blondie of a master of yours, that she should stick with ONE bodyguard and while you are at it, tell that brunette ninja-chick, that I am going to see her later. I am slowly getting really sick of all this." He added.
"Do I look like I am doing this on my free will? It was already a long trip to get here and now you want me to get back to lady Helena? Not a chance, baldy! Like the ninja here, I've been entrusted to watch over you. So you better deal with it." She protested.
After she said this, Jann Lee had to chuckle a little, while Rig rolled his eyes in annoyance. The fact that he now had this kind of company was strange. He didn't know if he should find it 'cute' the fact that he now had a pretty young girl watching over him...or find it frustrating considering that all of this was due to Kasumi still being worried.
"Man...I can't believe that now I'm being watched over by a girl so..." He stopped since he could sense that Marie Rose would not like what he was about to say. But it was too late because she already understood where Rig was getting at. And so she angrily pointed her index finger at him while yelling.
"Hey! Don't look down on me just because I'm little!"
Rig shook his head, as he growled.
"And I say, get lost. Not because of your size, but because you are wasting your time here. I said, I am not interested in a second bodyguard." He told her.
"Didn't I say that you need to deal with it? Lady Helena's orders are absolute!"
Hayate let out a frustrating sigh, and that made Jann Lee still chuckle as he had to admit that this whole argument was kinda amusing, before trying once again to calm the situation.
"Enough you two! Would you please behave yourselves? This isn't a Kindergarten, so pull yourself together."
Both Marie Rose and Rig looked at the ninja with a surprised look.
"Hayate, I'm just doing this for her safety." The Canadian said.
Marie Rose had a angrily surprised look as she gazed to Rig before then widened her eyes and then having a dirty grin.
"Oh NOW I get it! You talk down on me because you think I don't know how to defend myself! Is that what you're thinking!? Then let me prove you wrong!" She said before pointing at the exit of the bar and make a gesture to go there.
Rig had to exchange look to Jann Lee and then to Hayate before returning to look at the young girl.
"Where are you getting at?" Rig questioned with raised eyebrows.
"What do you think? I'm challenging you! Let's get outside!" Marie Rose replied while maintaining her confident grin.
Rig and Hayate were surprised, except Jann Lee who actually smirked before lightly smacking his elbow against the Canadian's arm.
"I say, go for it."
The two turned to him in shock.
"What?"
"Have you gone mental?! I can't fight her like that!"
The Jeet Kune Do fighter folded his arms before looking at his considered rival with a grin.
"So you are simply going to decline the challenge? Wouldn't that make you the weak one here? Because when we fought, you at least had the guts to accept my challenge. Whatever happened to that side of yours, I'd like to see it again."
Hearing this made Rig reflect in trying to remember what Jann Lee told him. He still had troubles remembering everything...but just when he heard how fired up Jann Lee was feeling when he suggested to accept this challenge, made the Canadian remember everything.
"That attitude of yours...now I remember." Rig said.
This sentence made Jann Lee confused. But then he reflected as well before jumping to the only conclusion which was that his rival finally remembered their bout they had during the announcement of the 5th DOA tournament.
"So I see your memory doesn't suck after all. I'm glad."
Rig began to chuckle and glared a little at Marie.
"So you're looking for the real deal, am I right? Fine, I shall accept your challenge then. I was getting bored anyways." He said as he warmed his right shoulder.
Marie had to show a little smug as she put her hands on her hips, leaned a little and tilted her head.
"Well, THAT took you long enough to figure out, huh? You. Me. Outside." She said as she turned around and walked out. Rig chuckled again before following her.
Jann Lee was now feeling very curious to see this fight, unlike Hayate who was actually uninterested and actually viewed it as a waste of time.
"C'mon Hayate! Let us go."
Hayate felt surprised upon hearing him pronouncing his name and felt curious as the two walked outside to follow Rig and Marie Rose.
"You know my name...? Have we met?" He asked with suspicious.
Jann Lee looked at him with a confused look again as this was getting a lot more strange to him.
"Are you serious, man? Of course we did. Don't you remember back at the third tournament? When I met you and challenged you to a bout while the two girls began arguing with eachother?"
That last part made Hayate think about for a moment.
"You're talking about-"
"Yes, Leifang and Hitomi. Speaking of the two...before getting here, I met them."
As Jann Lee mentioned Hitomi, Hayate suddenly became silent and looked away from the Chinese... and the latter immediately knew why.
"...you are scared of Hitomi seeing you again, right?" Jann Lee questioned. Hayate slowly looked at him while feeling a little bit surprised.
"H-How do you-"
"She told me about what happened between the both of you... sure, must have been rough."
The ninja hoped to get over it, but just as Jann Lee mentioned that situation, it all came back to Hayate once more and he just felt sad on the inside once more.
"How much has she told you?"
"Not much as you would expect. She was upset...but I can't really tell if she was more upset to the fact that she lost to me in the finals at the tournament...or more for that argument you had with her."
Hayate sighed and leaned his palms against his cheek, as he slowly began to look melancholic.
"I should have figured as much... NOTHING is fine between us." Hayate said.
"So my guess is, you are not really planning on talking to her, am I right?" Jann Lee said, but he saw immediately how Hayate shook his head. This made Jann Lee tap his shoulder.
"You're a man, why won't you talk to her? It's not like, she is actually planning on hurting you or anything. You wanna know something? I even asked her if she would have liked to come with me here so that you and her could talk and possibly clarify everything. But she declined…so I guess it's up to you."
Hayate remained silent without saying anything. He had to admit that the Jeet Kune Do fighter was right in a way...but there was a part inside him that was telling him to simply give in and forget Hitomi. Another one, on the other hand, said otherwise. He was met with this conflict inside his mind...before then deciding that after his task to guard Rig is finished, if he had the time, before returning to Ryu and the others, he might look for her.
"I'll think about it. But I can't guarantee I'll see her soon enough."
"Well, don't think too much, then." Jann Lee simply told him.
Upon saying that final part, the two finally arrived at the fuel. More precisely, the DIG platform outside the bar. There was no other worker since they were still all off the clock. The two could see Rig warming his shoulders up while showing a look that looked like an annoyed one. Marie Rose, on the other hand, still has her hands behind her back while showing her cute smile.
"Just a little heads-up. I am not pulling any kicks on ANYONE. You want a challenge, you get the FULL package. Got it? Don't come to me later crying, that I didn't warn you." Rig said.
"Heh, I am not your regular cry-baby... just watch and be careful where you kick. " Marie Rose said while leaning her body forward and with a comical mad look.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you say... let's go already." Rig said annoyed.
Before he could know, Marie Rose already charged at the Canadian and jumped to throw fast acrobatic kicks. This was too unexpected for Rig, and so he got hit. He grunted in pain before he noticed Marie Rose rolling over to him before quickly lifting her legs up to him in the head. This time Rig grabbed her boots and pulled her away. He then back flipped to avoid another backflip kick from her, before jumping to the side and then thrust forward with a heel drop kick, but she dodged it by rolling away to the side.
"Such agility…!" Rig said in his thoughts. However his mind is interrupted once Marie Rose was already on his back, clutching her hands around his head, forcing him to move around in an attempt to shake her off. While this happened, Jann Lee had to watch with no amusement since he found this a little bit ridiculous.
"Really now? Get serious." He said.
Rig had no choice but to grab Marie Rose and smash her forward to the ground. As she groaned a little, Rig cracked his neck.
"Got admit, you're fast but-" He got cut off just after Marie Rose immediately rotated her legs against Rig's chest. She then proceed to grab him and swung behind him before smashing her knees to Rig's neck. That move was painful and it made the Canadian yell a bit in pain. Marie Rose released him and stood back up before letting her left foot tap the floor and having a cocky look.
"Are you going to babble forever and letting yourself getting beat up? You're no fun." She taunted.
Rig rubbed the spot that Marie got real bad and began to growl.
"No need to get all ahead of yourself... this was only a warm-up." He said as he turned around and sensed that Marie Rose was about a to attack again. This time he grabbed her boot in time and countered by lifting his right leg up and hit Marie in the face.
"You may be tiny, but this isn't going to protect you all the time. When I attack, I do it EVERYWHERE." He added.
He proceed to go all out now, without caring if his opponent was a little girl, and began using his typical fast Taekwondo kicks. Thanks to her agility, Marie was able to dodge most of his kicks, however she had to admit that Rig wasn't slow and due to this she started to have a hard time in trying to figure out the right moment to get the upper-hand. Just as she jumped to the right side to avoid a front kick from the Canadian...she jumped forward to hit him with her butt cheeks. She thought that this was perfect because normally many opponents would not expect this kind of attack. But much to her shock, Rig actually kicked her in that part, making her body face the floor. However this wasn't Rig's intention and so he had to raise his eyebrows in surprise, as he watched Marie touching her butt cheeks and then looking at the Canadian in anger.
"Hey! Didn't I say be careful where you kick!?"
Rig chuckled at this and he couldn't help but raising his hands in defense.
"Wait up, you didn't tell me exactly where I shouldn't kick you." He said.
While Hayate watched with no interest, Jann Lee, instead, laughed a little.
"Looks like, she received a major kick in the ass... and I mean that literally."
Now Marie Rose's face turned really red in pure anger. She just could not accept this kind of humiliation...or, at least, that was how she viewed it. She jumped back on her feet and immediately dashed towards the Canadian who immediately went in defense as the young girl was about to throw a combination of punches and kicks to which Rig managed to block in time. The Canadian decided to attack by using a jumping corkscrew roundhouse kick, but Marie Rose avoided it by rolling forward and then jumping and wrapping her legs around Rig's waist. He felt confused and couldn't react immediately as he felt his face punched three times and then she punched him again to hurl him to the ground. And with that, Marie jumped back in a backflip, before stopping before the Canadian with both of her tiny fists pressing against each side of her hips.
"I don't take treatment like that, lightly." She said.
Rig stood back up again, as if nothing happened and he pointed his index finger at her.
"You know something? You're quite right, I shall stop talking too much. Why do we do it anyway? Aren't we supposed to let our fists talk?" He asked with a grin.
"You could have figure that out much earlier."
And with that, the two resumed fighting. And this time the fight seemed to go better than before. Now the two fought with determination and silence without provoking the other with words. And this finally got Jann Lee's attention as he saw his rival going all out without playing around like before. Rig was finally showing all the skills he was able to perform like when he fought Jann Lee.
"Finally they are fighting for real now!" The Chinese said with enthusiasm.
However, he noticed Hayate still being in silence with arms folded and with an expression, that seemed emotionless, that he showed since before the beginning of this fight.
"You have nothing to say?" Jann Lee asked him.
Hayate looked away, and spoke in a tone, as if he was ashamed.
"What more is there to say? We have two fighters, completely wasting their breath and time with fighting... what do you expect me to do? Pay my respects to them for such unnecessary violence?"
"My god, sorry... I didn't know, you were still sulking. Geez." Jann Lee responded annoyed.
Jann Lee then resumed paying attention to the fight. He was taking notes at all the attacks Rig threw against Marie Rose who, meanwhile, who still ducking, attacking and using her own throws against the Canadian. Despite Jann Lee being more interested in studying Rig's scheme of fighting since he needed to fight him again, he was also impressed at how a cute little young girl like Marie Rose could fight with such an incredible agility. He thought about a possible future day where he could test his strength against hers. However that day will probably have to wait for a while, since he must first have his rematch with Rig and then grant Leifang's wish of fighting him again and cancel her embarrassment she had at the tournament because of an accident that happened between her and him before the competition. Jann Lee, then, witnessed how both Rig and Marie Rose were struggling while fighting and noticed that now the two were getting tired.
Soon, the fight ended with the two in a draw. Both of them weren't fully capable of fighting any longer. Marie was close to collapse, and Rig quickly went over to catch her. The girl blushed a little from the touch.
"Hey... you weren't so bad... after all..." Rig said through his breathing.
Marie Rose looked at Rig with a smug and winked in a weak manner.
"Told you... I am tougher than I look... NEVER underestimate me... because of my height..." She told him.
Hayate and Jann Lee went over to help the two now that the fight was over. The Chinese was satisfied and impressed about how intense the fight was. His eyes fell on Marie Rose as she was helped by Hayate.
"Who the hell taught you to fight like this?" He asked in surprise.
Marie Rose couldn't help but blush again a little before showing a confident grin.
"Hard to explain." She said before looking at Rig, who was wiping the sweat from his forehead, and she still maintained her grin.
"Now you see why lady Helena isn't afraid of my safety and chose me to guard you, baldy?" She questioned.
Rig scoffed, as he helped Marie up along with Hayate, while wiggling his index finger.
"Not really, but what I DO see now is... she has sent you away, because you are way too dangerous for her to handle... you are no little girl, you are a like the mini edition of Godzilla..." He said.
Obviously Marie Rose didn't like that joke one bit as her face from a tired yet confident grin turned into a comical angry one.
"What did you just say...!?" She said. But since she was too tired, she just failed to raise her legs to attack again. Hayate simply sighed in annoyance as he dragged her back inside. Leaving only Rig and Jann Lee who watched them leaving.
"That was a good fight, Rig."
The Canadian raised his eyebrows in surprise upon hearing his name pronounced by the person he knew little.
"Already learnt my name?" Rig questioned.
Jann Lee nodded before folding his arms and looking at his considered rival with a small grin.
"My name is Jann Lee, by the way. So...when I'm going to get my rematch?"
Since, now, Rig remembered the day he fought him, he had to feel a bit surprised and raise his hands in defense.
"Wow wow, hold on, Bruce Lee Jr. You wanna have a fight now?"
"Of course not right now. I want you to be ready to fight again." After Jann Lee said that, he took a look around him before having an idea.
"I got it! I think I'm going to stay here until you recover completely so then I can have my rematch!" He declared.
Rig looked away for a bit, before nodding in agreement, even though he had some doubts about this.
"Sure, why not? Do as you please. As long as you don't disturb the workmen." Rig warned him.
Jann Lee's response to this was simply a shrug as he walked back inside.
"Why should I even disturb them? My only reason to be here is just to fight you again. And this time beat you." He said.
Rig rolled his eyes before following him.
"What a bunch of good friends I have, eh?"
After both hitting the showers, Rig resumed his normal work with Hayate helping if needed. The Canadian asked the ninja if the Italian vigilante gave them a call, but so far still nothing. Marie Rose, instead, began preparing her stuff in her own room in the cabin. Jann Lee decided to help her and she had to feel glad since ,due to her height, she couldn't place a few things on high parts inside the wardrobe. After finishing arranging everything, Marie Rose sat on her bed and smiling.
"Well, thanks for the help, mister!" She said in a cute way.
Jann Lee chuckled before looking around and then folding his arms as his gaze returned to her.
"Oh, don't mention it little-"
"My name's Marie Rose." She corrected him immediately.
"Y-Yeah right, Marie Rose. Listen, there's something I keep asking myself. It's about Rig. I just don't understand why he needs to be guarded. I mean he's a strong fighter. He beat me in a fight...yet he needs the protection from a ninja...and now from a young girl which is you. But why? Did something happen to him?" Jann Lee asked in curiosity.
Marie started thinking, as she collected all her thoughts on this entire situation.
"According to Lady Helena, the baldy needs to be protected, because of the danger of him getting captured again... as he witnessed a few things, that made him pretty much the target to get silenced, before revealing anything." She answered.
But this totally made Jann Lee raise his eyebrows in total surprise as it was unexpected to him.
"Whoa, hold up! He was a prisoner? Under who?"
"I don't know everything, but... in any case, it has something to do with Donovan, my master's personal enemy..." She told him.
Jann Lee didn't recall anyone going by the name of Donovan. However to make sure he could know more he began being curious again by asking Marie Rose if this Donovan was the boss of some organization.
"Is this person the leader of an organization?"
"Yes. Lady Helena told me that she's trying to find a way to stop his organization called MIST."
He froze at the mention of the name because he heard of it, even if not that much. But he knew that this organization was bad news everywhere. He was in silence for a while before turning around and heading back at the bar.
"I see...thanks for the information." He said.
"Sure thing." Marie Rose said with a cute smile.
Meanwhile, Rig, who was busy working, told Hayate the fact that Jann Lee had decided to stay with them. Rig didn't know if they should tell him about what the Canadian had been through and what both him and Hayate were dealing with right now, but the latter shook his head as he thought it was a bad idea involving him.
"You sure?"
"Yes. It would be too hard for him to understand."
