Asch: ......

(...? What's this place?
After that I sat myself in the chair next to Geek and... Victor played around with the device and... from there...)

???: U- Uwawah...! He woke up...!
Ah, that hurt-!?

Asch: Aahn?

Gray: Uuuh... Uhh, the wash basin... wash basin... hurts...

Asch: Geek...

Gray: Heek!?

Asch: What's this place? It vexes me... No matter how you look at it, it's a prison, ain't it?
I'm sure he said it's Jet's inner world, but...
Well, whatever... Oi, Geek.

Gray: !!!!???



Asch: Tch... Your reaction annoys me every time.
Get your ass over here. We're going back to Victor's lab.

Gray: What... You know how to go back...?

Asch: I wouldn't have come here if I didn't, right? You stupid or what?
Oh... There it is, there it is. Hm, Victor did say that, but clothes and belongings sure are reflected as they are, huh?

Gray: ... And that is?

Asch: The headset I received from Victor. He invented it together with that device or something... If we use this...

Victor: 「ー Is that you, Asch? I hope that you arrived without problems.」

Gray: Victor-san...!

Victor: 「Oh my, you have already found Gray?」

Asch: Yeah, right. Tch... I don't wanna waste a single second of my time in this small, musty place.
We can use this headset to get back over there, right?

Victor: 「Correct. With the communication turned on, I can tune in the device from here.」

Asch: We hold all the trumps, then. Moveー

Victor: 「I am deeply sorry. I forgot to relate an important thing.
To use that headset correctly, you need the resident of the inner world... In other words, you need Jet.」

Asch: ... Come again?

Victor: 「Although it is a device invented for criminal investigations, it pretty much respects privacy.
So, in order to return to the real world, you have to deploy several authentication systemsー」

Asch:
Kh, you bastard... I didn’t sign up for this!? You fooled me!



Victor: 「It's no use hitting me. This is a projected hologram.」

Asch: Shit! I'm gonna beat you up! When I get back there, I'm gonna smash those annoying glasses of yours first!
Gaaah...!

Gray: Uugh...

Victor: 「Gray, are you okay?」

Gray: I'm f... fine... He hit the wall to vent, apparently...

Victor: 「Is that so...
More importantly, Gray. It ended up being quite the roundabout way, but please accomplish your original purpose properly.」

Gray:
Eh...?

Victor: 「I am talking about your confrontation with Jet. Though he speaks harshly, Asch would risk his life to catch Jet.
That is your chance to achieve your end. Your conversation with Jet... I pray you will find a way to control him.」

Gray: Victor-san... you thought that far...

Victor: 「The fact that in order to return to the real world you need that world's resident is true. However... the fact that it slipped my mind is a lie.」

Gray: Vi- Victor-sanー

Asch: Gaaah!

Gray: Hyeh!?

Victor: 「Well, you have a lot to worry about, but... you can always rely on me.
I wish you the best of luck, Gray.」

Gray: Y... Yes...
