[kozvme]

 

Akira: Don't worry!

Boy & Girl: ......!!

Akira: I'll make sure you'll be able to go back playing outside soon.

Boy: Are you for real, big bro!!?

Akira: Yup. Cuz I'm a hero ♪

Old man: Huh!? You'll find a solution for us, big bro!?

Man: Thank you, thank you so much, big bro!

Akira: ... You guys calling me "big bro" is creepy, so please stop it.

Will: Akira, you give in too easily...

Akira: We're heroes! That's just common sense! Don't you feel bad for those kids?

Will: You shouldn't respond so promptly, though. It's not something we can decide for ourselves...

Akira: The heck? You're saying to just leave it, then?

Will: All I'm suggesting is that there's something else we should do first. We don't know if there's even anything we can do in the current situation.
... What were your plans for the next step?

Akira: T- That's...

Will: You didn't think that far, did you?

Akira: ... Geez, FINE, sorry 'bout that. It's true that I said it on the spur of the moment... but I'm still not gonna back off.

Will: Well... it's not that I don't want to help those in need or don't feel bad for the kids who can't play outside...
But we should investigate first. Whether it was an incident or not. Whether we can solve it or not.

Akira: Fine by me. Thanks Will.
... Ah, but don't tell Bradー

Will: I know. But, if it turns out to be something we can't solve, we'll have to tell him.
... I sound all high-and-mighty, but... to be honest, I feel the same...
If you hadn't said that, I probably would have... I wonder if you would have stopped me, then.



Akira: Me... stopping you, Will? Haha, I can't even imagine that!

ーThat being the case! Show us the warehouse that was destroyed, Old man!

Old man: As you wish.

Will: Ah, but disappearing is no good, I guess...

Akira: Find an excuse for Oscar and Brad, then.

Will: Eh!? Me?

Akira: Of course. Ain't you better at this stuff?

Will: ... You only bring this up at times like this, I swear.

Akira: Hehe. Then, I'm counting on ya, Will!

Will: ... Haaah. What should I tell them...



Brad: ... Oscar.

Oscar: Yes. What is it?

Brad: Did you come here to be my exclusive photographer?

Oscar: Eh? No... that was not my intention.

Brad: I can't really concentrate if you keep filming me sliding.

Oscar: Apologies...! It's just that I'm always walking one step behind and you don't fit in the angle of view very well...
