Event Story – Heroes with Dirty Faces, ch.9

[kozvme]

 
Gray: If you think about it... it's no wonder things got to this point...
A single person having two personalities... is not normal, don't you think?

Jay: Gray... You don't mean...

Gray: Jet is the personality born from my weakness... His strength saved me, I live on because of it...
If Jet weren't here... I wouldn't have made it this far as a hero, that is true...
However... if this goes on...
If in the worst case scenario... I end up doing something bad, hurting someone...

Jay: You...

Gray: I've been thinking about this for a while now...
What do you think I should do, Jay-san......?

Jay: ......
... Actually, I've talked to Victor about Jet yesterday.
Whether we should do something if... no, before the things you just mentioned happen.
Victor said he'll take care of him if that's what you want.

Gray: Huh...

Jay: There seems to be no technical problems. Everything is already set...
If that's what you, the host... if that's what you want to do, Gray, he'll deal with him immediately. How about it?

Gray: I- Isn't... that a little too out of the blue...?

Jay: You think? I believe the problems Jet's causing right now are quite pressing, though.

Gray: ......

Jay: You're remarkably exhausted, both physically and mentally; this is also hindering your duties.
Besides, who knows what Jet's been up to... Even if he is your other personality, it would be dangerous to ignore that.
Like you said, the fact that he might do things a hero shouldn't do poses a big concern.

Gray: B... But...

Jay: I'm happy to know you were thinking about that. Better strike while the iron is hot. We should immediately return to the tower to see Victorー

Jet: Don't fuck with me, bastard...
Whatever the fuck are you saying... I've heard it all, you know?

Jay: ......

Jet: What's this "deal with him" BS? What do you plan to do to me?

Jay: Gotcha.

Jet: ...... Haah?

Jay: It was all a bluff. I can't get anything done if I don't make you come out.

Jet: The hell...?
I have nothing to tell you and no obligation to play alongー

Jay: Now, now, wait a second. If you were listening, you must have also heard what Gray's been thinking, right?
Night after night you behave weirdly behind his back. You won't answer his questions and now strange rumors have come to his attention...
He has all the rights to feel anxious. It's only a matter of time before he starts seriously thinking about "dealing with you".
Are you really okay with... staying quiet?

Jet: ......?
