ー Day of the competition.

 

Gast: (We scored the best points during yesterday's last practice, so if we keep this up we might win.
Uuh~ I wanna shoot before I forget what it feels like...)

Ooooi, Ren. Today's the day of the competition~. Get up quickly and let's get ready.

Ren: Nnngh...

Gast: It's about time you get up. Waking up your body is also important, ya know~?
Uwoah!? What's with this call so early in the morning...
Yeah, what's up... a skirmish? At this hour?
They've been lingering around since evening so you started discussing... Mh, you want me to join you?

(... The competition starts in 2 hours.
If this doesn't see an end, is it okay for me to forcefully cut it short?
It's better to challenge it with a weight off my shoulder than participating in the competition while worrying about them. )

Got it, I'm heading there now. Yeah, told you not to worry. Same place as always? ... 'Kay, see ya later.
Ren, sorry. I'm going out for a bit, so wake up on your own.

Ren: ... Hah? Today's the day of the competition. Where are you going?

Gast: To the guys. I'll be back by the time it starts... See ya!

Ren: H- Hey...!



Gast: ... Kept you waiting, huh?

Fellow A: Gast-san! I'm so sorry, it's an important day and yet...

Gast: 's not the end of the world. None of you is hurt, right? As for the other guys...

Fellow A: It's them.

Gast: ... Never seen 'em before, just like you said.

Delinquent: Heh, so that's Gast?

Fellow B: That's right. The legendary delinquent, Gast Adler-san!

Gast: Oi, oi, don't introduce me in such an embarrassing way. I've already quit.

Delinquent: Then why's the dude who quit putting his nose where it doesn't belong, haaah?

Gast: Even if I quit being a delinquent, the fact that they're my precious gang ain't changing.

Fellow A: Gast-san right now is a hero. You got a problem with someone helping citizens in distress?

Delinquent: You a hero, dude...?

Gast: You betcha. Protecting the citizens is my job!

Delinquent: Sick! You all, let's get it over with! Take this turf and make it into a gift!

Delinquents: Yeaaaaahhh!

Gast: Hah, when a group of fewer than 10 people comes at me's no big deal.

Fellow A: We'll help too, Gast-san!

Fellow B: It's our fault Gast-san's gotten involved!

Gang: True that!

Gast: Guys...
I'm more or less a hero, so I can't approve of violent behavior​. So...
Get only those who try hitting you!

Gang: Yeeeeeaaaaah!
