Gray: There...!

Buddy: Woof, woof!

Gray: Yes, that's right. You're such a good boy, Buddy. Go fetch the ball...

Buddy: Woof, woof! Woof, woof!

Jay: Woah!? He's coming this way...!

Buddy: Arf! ♪

Jay: Uwaaah!?



Buddy: Yawp, yawp ♪

Gray: Come now, Buddy! Let go of Jay-san...!

Jay: A, haha... It's okay, all good...



Gray: I'm so sorry, Jay-san...... Jumping at you like that... Are you okay...?

Jay: Yeah. Don't worry about it, really. I'm already quite used to being jumped at like that.

Gray: ... It seems Buddy loves you a lot.
He knows I would have scolded him and yet still jumped at you... It's a great deal...

Jay: R- Really? That makes me happy. So long as he likes me everything's good.

Gray: Uhm... Jay-san. So, what did you want to talk about...?

Jay: Ooh, right. You made time for me, I better get straight to the point.
Truth is, I happened to hear about... what's happening in "Happy World Hero".

Gray: ...!

Jay: There's a player calling themselves "Jet" who is going on a spree...

Gray: R- Right... I know about that, too...

Jay: ... It's not you, is it?

Gray: ...... No...

Jay: Does that mean this is Jet's doing?

Gray: That's... what I think...
I sincerely doubt someone else is impersonating me... I've asked Jet I don't know how many times,
but he hasn't answered me at all...

Jay: Interesting...



Gray: Jet is really capricious... Even though he comes out and talks whenever he likes, he doesn't listen to me at all...
He finally started doing whatever he wants behind my back... I've been wondering what to do...

Jay: The cat is finally out of the bag.

Gray: I'm s- sorry...

Jay: No need to apologize. I certainly didn't make things easy for you to come talk to me.
But I'm happy we were able to talk it out... Let's see, what is to be done?
We should figure out what Jet's going to do for now, rightー

Gray: Shouldn't we get to the root of the problem... instead...?

Jay: Huh?

Gray: ...
