Event Story – Heroes with Dirty Faces, ch.14

Jay: Haaah~ It's been a while since I felt the buzz...
He told me to have a drink while there... but one drink became a whole bottle.
Still, it's been a while since I met the boss... so getting to hear all those interesting stories made me happy.

???: Who the heck are you talking to?

Jay: ...!

Jet: Walking around, talking to yourself in the middle of the night... You sure are a dangerous fella.

Jay: Jet...?
Were you perhaps... waiting for me to get home?

Jet: Kh... As if!
Anyway, you reek of booze...

Jay: Right, sorry about that... It's not like I could help it, though.

Jet: Why are you coming home smelling like booze? What happened with the mafia?

Jay: That's all done and dusted. Didn't I tell you to just wait since there was no need to worry?

Jet: ... What the heck. You're really saying there was no need to rush it?

Jay: Right, reminds me, Jet. Are you free?

Jet: Huh?

Jay: Join me for a little.

Jet: ......?



Jay: ーHere, this is yours.

Jet: ......

Jay: Geez~, who'd have thought I'd get to drink with you, Jet. I haven't even had a drink with Gray one on one.
Asch is a lightweight and Billy is not of age, so... Yeah, you're the first.

Jet: ... Why do I gotta drink with the likes of you?

Jay: ? You don't like drinking?
Gray said he's not that big of a drinker, but he can hold his drink like a normal person... Does your body chemistry work differently when you switch?

Jet: That's not it.
I'm askin' what's this about? Why am I suddently sharing a drink with you?

Jay: It's just, you know, I've got a bottle of whiskey as a gift from the mafia boss.
So I thought I might as well have a drink with you while chatting.

Jet: ... We don't need booze for that. Just spit out what happened.

Jay: Come on, don't say that. It's just a little celebration for solving a problem... is that no good?

Jet: ......



Jay: ー So Gray really doesn't know a thing about this?

Jet: Yeah.

Jay: He was quite suspicious of what happened in-game... how do you plan to explain it to him?

Jet: About that...
