ー The next day.



Gast: Haah~~~~~

(In the end, yesterday wasn't good at all. The more we tried, the more mistakes we did, I feel like getting in each other's way got us stuck in a vicious cycle...
No, no, 's too early to feel the blues. I wanna use this opportunity to get friendlier with Ren.
Though, in the past several months I've learned that when Ren's stuck in his ways it's tough... What to do~?)

Lily: Ren, concentrate more.

Gast: ?

Lily: I was told to coach you for the single competition so here I am, but I noticed both you and Gast are awfully distracted.
Ren, if you can't concentrate, then go there and observe.

Ren: ... Understood.

Lily: You too, Gast. You might learn something new if you watch someone else doing it. Don't lose your concentration just because it's not your turn.

Gast: So- Sorry...

Lily: The single competition is a match about how many targets you can accurately shoot through within the time frame.
There are no restrictions regarding the firearms you can use, so you can freely choose multiple firearms you like from the lineup... Watch closely.

.........

Gast & Ren: ......

Lily: But well, if you manage to use this speed and precision you can easily win.

Ren: Amazing...

Gast: Shooting the enemies with such accuracy while using different guns one after another...



Lily: When I became a hero, teamwork wasn't regarded as important yet. So I underwent special training to be able to carry out a large number of tasks alone.
I have a good command of both short and long-range shooting.

Gast: They do not call you Shooting Queen for nothing...

Lily: That aside, are you also practicing for the pair competition?

Gast: Yeah, we are, but...

Ren: ......

Lily: By the look of things, it's not going well.

Gast: Ah, haha... at all.

Lily: Have you asked someone to coach you? I heard from Nova that Marion is busy with an unrelated program...

Gast: No one's looking after us. Seems Doctor has also immersed himself in research, so we're doin' it on our own.

Ren: ......

Lily: I see... It's quite difficult for rookies under training to learn about partnership by themselves.
To some extent, it would be a good idea to ask someone for guidance. Although it's sudden, so it won't be easy to find...

......!

Don't worry, you two. I just thought of the best guy for the job.

Gast & Ren: ?
