Event Story – Heroes with Dirty Faces, ch.16

[kozvme]

 
Gray: (Sorry... I've been listening since midway through the conversation...
So they found out that I... Gray Reverse, the hero, is "Jet"...
And you faced them on my behalf, right...?
Thank you... for going that far for me...)

Jet: ......

Gray: (But as Jay-san said earlier... I also think that's wrong...
It's unfair that you... shoulder everything yourself while keeping it hidden from me...)

Jet: You...

Gray: (The crimes "Jet" committed are my... Gray Reverse's crimes...
I have to make amends for... the crimes I committed myself...)

Jet: Kh, and what can you even do?

Gray: (...... Could we switch...?)

Jet: ......

???: ......



Gray: ... Thank you, Jet.

Jay: You're back, Gray?

Gray: Yes...
Uhm, Jay-san... I've heard your conversation earlier and... first of all, I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you...

Jay: Don't sweat it. So... you heard everything, huh?
Jet has also put some thought into this, or rather feelings. I hope you can understand that.

Gray: Yes... I am, conscious of that...
However, this time...

Ah... Yes, right. Jet didn't bring the phone with him...
Sorry, Jay-san... Could I start "Happy World Hero" on your phone...?

Jay: Huh? Right here right now?

Gray: Yes...

Jay: ? Okay...
... Here you go.

 Gray: Thank you very much. Is it okay if I fiddle with it...?

Jay: Sure, I don't mind, but... what are you going to doing exactly?

Gray: I will log out for a second and then log in with my... with Jet's account.
We're right on time, it seems....

Jay: ...?

Gray: You know... A lot of players have gathered for the private matches, right...?

Jay: Oh, right. It just happened, so the gambling matter has yet to be made public.
What's the plan, Gray?

Gray: I am informing the players gathered that we will not be hosting any more private matches...
Although they didn't know about it, I must also apologize for involving them in such illegal actions...
That and... apologize for trolling them on this game as "Jet" now and then...

Jay: And you're okay with that?

Gray: ... I believe this is something that must be done.

Jay: Gray...



Gray: ーI'll see how it goes for a while and then delete "Jet's" account once and for all.
I'm opening my DMs so that those who have something to tell me can freely do so...

Jay: Alright...
... How's Jet doing right now?

Gray: I do not know... We haven't talked since I switched back, so I think he's sleeping. Probably...
Or perhaps... he's silently watching what I'm doing...?

Jay: ......
You've gotten stronger, Gray.

Gray: ... Huh?
