Will Sprout's Card story – Rope Rescue

[kozvme]

 

Will: I couldn't do it well today either...

(Rope rescue... I don't really like that feeling of floating in the air...
Both Oscar-san and Marion-san had no difficulty working at height, and yet I...
Haah, how pathetic... But, if possible, I would like to reduce the things I can't do...)

Billy: Kyaaaaaah!! Mr. Willson, catch me with those strong arms of yours~!!

Will: Eh, woaah!! Billy-kun's falling...!?
Watch out...!

Billy: Nice catch, Mr. Willson! You saved me~



Gray: Billy-kun, are you okay...?

Will: Woah... Gray-san!?

Gray: Ah! S- Sorry... If someone suddenly appeared, no wonder you'd be surprised...
And I was sneaking up, too...

Will: What are you two doing in such a place?

Billy: We're in the middle of playing a "cold-blood tag between mentors and mentees"!

Will: Cold-blood...?

Billy: If we get caught, Asch-paisen and Jay will give us a sssssssevere penalty! Kyaaah, how scawy~☆

Gray: T- This is as a part of training, more or less...

Billy: Maan~, I was a biiiit impatient and I couldn't catch the strings well, so I fell.
Wait, this is bad, Gray! ...! Asch-paisen is running over here like a demon...!

Gray: Heek... Jay-san is heading over here with a smile on his face... That smile that usually is so kind, right now is so scary...

Billy: That being said, we'll take our leave, Mr. Willson!

Will: Oh, yes, be careful...
... East has adopted an unusual training method.
But it looks a somewhat fun. Should I also train as a distraction?



(I tried toning up the muscles that I thought I needed to rope rescue in the gym, but...
Nothing much happened. And there's that feeling of floating that I have to overcome...)

Billy: Ah, Mr. Willson! We meet again~

Will: Billy-kun, Gray-san... Have you already finished playing tag?

Gray: Yes... We managed to hold on until the time was up and avoided the penalty...

Will: Waah, I'm so happy for you. Holding on against your mentors is such an amazing thing!

Billy: Gray's ability is perfect for playing tag, after all!
Asch-paisen losing it because he was unable to see anything in the thick fog was hilarious~♪

Gray: I t- think it was all thanks to your abilities, though...
Catching you is hard because you can run around freely and your movements are unpredictable...

Billy: Nihihi! We're such a good combo~♪
I was also very lucky Mr. Willson was there to catch me. Thank you very much ♡

Will: Is that right? I was quite shocked at the time, but I'm happy if I was of help.

Gray: Wi- Will-kun... With all the fuss earlier, I couldn't ask, but...
Uhm... Did something happen...? You look a bit down right now...

Will: Huh...

Gray: S- Sorry... I must have misunderstood... And here I am, worrying as I please...

Will: Ah, no! That's not it...!
... It showed on my face, huh. Sorry, but thank you for your concern.

Billy: Something happened, Mr. Willson? Since we won at playing tag, I'm free all day after this, so if you're okay with it I'll lend you an ear.

Will: Thank you too, Billy-kun... Actually, well...

Gray: Amazing... Working for the rescue team is so cool...

Will: But for some reason I cannot perform a rope rescue well. I hate how that floating feeling is making anxious...

Billy: Hmm, the floating feeling, huh...

Gray: What's wrong, Billy-kun?

Billy: I think I can help you with that!

Gray & Will: ......?



Billy: Mr. Willson~, how does it feel?

Will: Y- Yeah... It feels the same as when I rope-rescued.

Billy: Eheh! I knew I was a genius~☆

Gray: I see... You created a similar situation using your strings to rope rescue...

Billy: Thought this'd be the best way to get his body used to that floating feeling he doesn't like ♪

Gray: This is q- quite a drastic remedy... Is Will-kun going to be alright...?

Billy: He gave the okay, so I guess he's alright~?
Mr. Willson~! Let's stay like that for the time beingー

Will: Uhm, Billy-kun...! The upper stories of a building are usually windy and shaky, so, could you shake me a little?

Billy: Wow, someone's motivated! 
OK, Mr. Willson. Here I go~

Will: Thank you...!

Gray: B- Billy-kun, don't shake him strongly all of a sudden, okay...

Billy: Gotcha! Then, I'll start from level 1!

Will: Kh...
(Ca- Calm down. No trembling...! How is getting scared about this much shaking going to help you...!)

Billy: Oopsie~ watch out, Mr. Willson. A gust!

Will: Ehh...
Uwawa... Uwaaaah!!

Gray: Billy-kun, is this really level 1...?

Billy: Sowwy, sowwy! I thought he was ready and overdid it a tiny bit~☆

Will: Haah... Haah...

Gray: Will-kun, are you okay...? You should come down and rest for a...

Will: I'm f- fine...! Or rather, I might have grasped the feeling a bit just now...

Gray: Re- Really...?

Will: Let's do it again, please!

(You two are doing so much for me, so I have to do my best...!
No way I'm going to lose to this floating feeling...!)

Billy: OK. Your determination has reached me, Mr. Willson! Let's go at it full blast, then~!

Gray: D- Do your best... Will-kun...!



Oscar: Your rope rescue was good today, Will.

Will: Thank you very much, Oscar-san.

Oscar: You were fast and careful, and you dealt with the sudden gusts without panicking. Frankly, you're beyond recognition.

Will: Fufu, it's all thanks to Billy-kun and Gray-san who helped with my special training.
I will work even harder to be of help to everybody!

Oscar: Yeah, well said. Keep it up.
