"the entire mission?" "Where are you?" "Get out here, Wraith!" "Talk to me!" "I know you're close by!" "How about answering me?" "I am Sergeant Sousuke Sagara." "I am assigned to Mithril's Tactical Division, the West Pacific Fleet "Tuatha de Danaan."" "Under orders to guard a certain person," "I was dispatched to Tokyo as of April 20." "It is possible this person is being targeted for the following reasons." "First!" "This individual is a special kind of person called a "Whispered."" "Second! "Whispered" have previously unknown knowledge, particularly relating to the military." "Are you insane?" "What kind of agent blurts out top- secret information to the entire neighborhood at the top of his voice?" "You are clearly sabotaging the operation!" "I only did it because you ignored me." "It's impossible for you not to understand how dangerous it is for us to be talking like this." "Uruz 7, what you are doing is..." "Answer me." "Is your mission to guard Kaname Chidori, or to observe her?" "I have no obligation to answer that." "I could stand here all night yelling out everything I know." "I've already been dismissed from my post." "Are you trying to threaten me, Uruz 7?" "I will report this officially to the Tactical Division." "Do whatever you want." "But you will answer my question." "My mission is to guard her, of course." "I can't trust you." "That's your choice." "But the mission given to me was to prevent Kaname Chidori from falling into the hands of another organization." "Nothing more, nothing less." "Then why don't you ever save her?" "She's been surrounded by a gang of delinquents." "She's been abducted by a band of thugs." "She's been in danger numerous times." "Those were all the acts of insignificant hoodlums." "There was not enough of a reason for me to act." "I see." "Then how do you explain the A21 incident?" "Even then, you didn't try to save her." "How about that?" "Answer me!" "My intent was to give the enemy rope and see what they'd do, but things got out of my control." "Even I broke into a cold sweat during that hostage exchange, but my decision not to interfere proved to be correct." "I'm told those terrorists had no idea how special or important she was, isn't that right?" "In other words, they were essentially the same as a bunch of street hoodlums." "That's nothing but sophistry." "Call it whatever you want." "Either way, the knowledge she possesses was not brought out." "That is the one thing that needs to be protected in the first place." "As long as the enemy doesn't get close to her in order to obtain her knowledge, there is no particular need for me to act." "So your true nature shows." "But if she died, everything would be lost." "Of course, at the very minimum, I will protect her life so that doesn't happen." "I don't believe you." "I don't really expect you to believe me, anyway." "So go ahead and worry yourself to death about it for all I care." "This operation was originally supposed to have been taken over by Intelligence after the Khanka Airport incident." "But then Tactical interfered, and made us let you stay." "Tactical made the point that you would be effective as a decoy, but to me, you are nothing more than an annoyance." "You have no idea how many times I've wanted to kill you off and make it look like an accident." "It's still not too late." "Go ahead and try." "It was a joke." "I don't think I could finish you off without getting hurt myself." "And actually, you have provided me with some amusement." "What?" "Just aiming a rifle at you from a distance is enough to make you extremely nervous." "You have excellent instincts as a soldier, but those instincts have caused you to fail numerous times, correct?" "That disturbance at the barber shop today was quite entertaining." "You bastard..." "Don't get so angry." "It's in the past now." "In any event, the fun is over as of today." "You should return to base and go back to your original mission." "We are both pros." "Don't you think we should end this silly argument?" "I cannot." "What about Chidori's safety?" "That is no longer any of your concern." "You were sent official orders to withdraw, correct?" "Surely you don't intend to disobey orders, do you?" "Well..." "Do not forget that your life here was provided by Mithril." "You were never a high school student or anything of the sort." "You are just a mercenary, a professional killer." "Your family registration and school registration are fake, part of a disguise." "What were you even thinking to begin with?" "You constantly have to leave her to go on other missions, don't you?" "How effective can you possibly be as a decoy when you can't be with her full-time?" "Do you honestly think you can protect her like that?" "Well?" "Tell me." "What's wrong?" "Can't you answer?" "Or is it that you don't want to answer?" "Well, either way it doesn't matter." "At any rate, regardless of whether or not you have a gripe against me, in the end, you still have to entrust her to me and leave Tokyo." "The point is, nothing has changed, Uruz 7." "Your absence simply means I've lost a decoy, and I will have to spend more time than before guarding her myself." "That's all." "Really, you criticize me, but do you seriously believe someone like you could possibly protect her?" "In these past six months, you haven't been able to adapt to Japanese society at all." "Your presence is putting her in danger unnecessarily." "Sorry to say this, but as a bodyguard, you are lower than third rate." "In the end, to her, you're nothing but a harmful influence." "Not only that, you'd probably endanger the people around her too." "You have no right to talk to me like that!" "Pissed off because I hit the nail right on the head?" "Either way, this little game of house is over, Uruz 7." "Obey your orders and return to base." "Caw!" "It's morning!" "Caw!" "Wake up!" "Caw!" "Kana-chan, you'll be..." "Good morning, Kyoko!" "Oh, good morning!" "You seem happy today, Kana-chan!" "Really?" "Yeah." "Did something good happen?" "No, not really." "Was there something?" "I wonder if it's even worth mentioning, though?" "You're acting weird." "At any rate, Sagara was being his usual self yesterday, wasn't he?" "Really." "He never makes any progress, does he?" "It makes me want to put a remote- controlled electric shock device in his brain or something." "And every time he messes up:" "Bzzt!" "Bzzt!" "It'll zap him!" "That might actually have some effect." "So, what do you think, Kyoko?" "He's not a dog, you know." "Oh, speaking of which, what happened after that?" "Huh?" "We..." "We went home." "Why?" "Then, I wonder what he's going to do about a haircut." "You're right." "He'll probably just cut it himself." "Then it'll get all bushy again." "I have to make sure our stories match up later." "But someone seems really cheerful today for some reason." "Who?" "You, Kana-chan!" "What?" "That's just your imagination." "Hmm, something seems suspicious here!" "I'm telling you, nothing happened, honestly." "Anyway, did you see Kumodoushin the other day?" "Well, yeah, but..." "How was it?" "Umm, to be honest, I didn't really like it." "Huh?" "Why not?" "No real reason." " The action scene with the octopus samurai was good, though." " Yeah, that part!" "Those weird tentacles came out of his back!" "That was the best part!" "Right." "And then..." " Anyway, it's really amazing!" " What's wrong?" "It's nothing." "I didn't know about it either, but it looks like it has a continuation." "Good morning Kazama." "Good morning, Miss Chidori." "Where's Sousuke?" "Dunno." "I haven't seen him yet today." "Then I guess he hasn't come yet." "That's good." "What happened?" "Oh, nothing." "Did something happen?" "Beats me." "Good morning!" "Oh, good morning." "That was close!" "I just made it!" "I wonder what he's doing?" "Rise!" "Bow!" " Good morning, sir." " Good morning." "Take your seat!" "All right, I'm going to take attendance." " Igarashi." " Here!" " Ishihara." " Here!" " Isomura." " Here!" " Uozumi." " Here." " Uchida." " Here!" " Oumi." " Here!" " Ogata." " Here."

"More importantly, the tests are over, so why don't we go have some fun while we can?" "We'll invite everyone, and sing karaoke and stuff!" "Yeah, that sounds good."
