event story – heroes with dirty faces, ch.2

[kozvme]

 

ーThat night.

Jay: ーYeah, yeah. I see... Sounds like we're all set for next Sunday.
Aah, whenever you like is good for daddy... Yeah, it just so happens that right now is a slow time for me.
Huh? If this is a thing?
Haha. It's true that heroes work 365 days a year, 7 days a week, but we're also humans. We need days off.
Ooh... Yeah, you're right. Daddy also looks forward to playing catch with you.

Billy: I'm back~~~! Welcom...

Jay: Yeah, night. Sleep tight... ♪
Welcome back, Billy.



Billy: Sorry, Jay. Were you on a call with Jay Jr right now? Did I interrupt you?

Jay: Not really, I was just about to end the call. You interrupted nothing.

Billy: Good, then... What did Jay Jr say?

Jay: We promised to play catch in the park next Sunday. I'll buy some delicious sandwiches and have a picnic, too. ♪

Billy: Waoh! A picnic~ ♪
How very, very nice! Since you're recovering this is the perfect chance to spend time with him!

Jay: You're right... Although, I can't help but feel sorry about the situation since it's troubling you guys.



Billy: Don't pay that any mind~! Everyone wants you to actually have a proper rest!
There are a lot of people that want you to treasure the time you spend with Jay Jr, me included!
But I can't deny I want you to get better and return to your job as a hero.

Jay: ... I see. Thanks, Billy.

Billy: Anyway, Jay. How much does Jay Jr know? Did you tell him you're taking a break because of your poor condition?

Jay: No, I didn't go into details. I just told him I'm taking some time off...
I haven't made my poor condition public, but even if I did, I think it'll be fine. He's my son after all.
It's just that there was no need to make him worry even moreー

Billy: I see... Well, you're right, this is something to worry about, huh.
He'd worry less if you could get him to understand you'll come back to work, though...

Jay: Victor is currently working hard to make that happen. There are signs of improvement, too.

Billy: Really!?

Jay: I'll make sure to tell you if there is any progress.

Billy: Thank goddd~~~~~! Victor-paisen is the best! ♪

Jay: You're right. When I told him I'd help him with anything, he told me to just wait for his calls. I really am no match for him.

Billy: It's a good thing that it's going smoothly. Gray, Asch-paisen and I have been waiting for some good news the whole time!



Jay: Haha, supported by the whole team, huh.
... That reminds me. There's something I'd like to ask you, Billy.

Billy: Whaaat is it? Aah, you want something from the informant?

Jay: No, it's not that... Has Gray been acting differently lately?

Billy: Gray?

Jay: When I went to see Victor today, he was standing in front of the lab looking strange.
I asked him if he wanted something from Victor, but... he said he was just exercising.

Billy: Exercising...?

Jay: Yeah, walking around the tower for exercise, he said.

Billy: It's true that lately he's been doing his best to build more stamina, but... he uses the machines in the gym to walk and run?
Although he does run around the tower when Asch-paisen is in the gym...

Jay: Makes sense? Although he didn't look like someone who was training...
On the contrary, he looked rather troubled. He didn't talk to me, though...

Billy: I wonder if it's something he finds difficult to tell you?
