Jay: ーAnd that's about it.

Victor: You did not have to go so far as to report to me, you know?

Jay: Of course I had to. I've also talked about Gray to you, haven't I? I thought I should let you know.

Victor: While eating donuts?

Jay: Ah, haha...... This is like, a token of gratitude...?

Victor: Haah...

Jay: You're also done with work, right? I heard from Billy. Good job on that special mission.
And congratulations on being fully integrated back into the team.

Victor: ... Thank you very much.
And then, what happened? How has Gray been doing since then?

Jay: Right, he's doing great. Jet has also stopped doing things in secret in the middle of the night.
What happened in "Happy World Hero" was lionized for a while, but it seems things have quietened down already, as if nothing even happened.
Props to Gray for taking responsibility as "Jet".

Victor: However, this does not mean that his other personality, Jet, has vanished, does it?

Jay: Huh? Yeah, that's right...

Victor: I see. I am delighted Gray is stable and is maturing as a hero.
But if that is the case, then I feel like the purpose of Jet's existence... would be even more ambiguous.

Jay: Eh...

Victor: I wonder if there will come a day when he will really no longer be?

Jay: T- That's... quite a complicated topic...

Victor: You seem to be considering Jet as one of your rookies.

Jay: Huh...?

Victor: It appears to me that sometimes you seem to consider Gray and Jet as two different beings.
From my perspective, Jet is purely a part of Gray. Do you understand the difference between an actual human disappearing from this world and him?

Jay: I mean, I get it, but... Hmm... 



Lily: Is Jay here?

Jay: Instructor Lily?

Lily: Oh, I guessed right. Recently, you have been spending most of your time here.

Jay: What's wrong? Don't tell me...

Lily: Yes, you guessed right. I thought we could drink again today. ♪

Victor: Please, you did not just bring alcohol into someone's laboratory again...

Lily: You're just done with your special mission and have nothing to do, right? Let's have a... party to celebrate your hard work today.

Victor: You did not plan that. I am sure you have just come up with that.

Lily: What are you saying? You can only reach this sense of achievement when your work is done.
It's not something you can experience often, so you should cherish it here and now.

Victor: Putting it in the most extreme terms, are we not...? However, it shouldn't be of your concern.

Lily: Good grief, you have a comeback for everything... You're a worthy rival of my daughter, Victor.

Victor: Wh...

Jay: Pft... Haha, ahahah!
No one can refuse her invitation. Just give up and comply, Victor.

Victor: Haah...
