Asch: ......

Gray: ......

Asch: Tch, what's with the whiny look... I'm the one who doesn't want to go around with a slowcoach like you.
You can easily hear voices on this floor. I'll look here, you search on the other side.

Gray: ...... Thank god...

Asch: Speak louder.

Gray: Eh!?

Asch: I'm sayin' you could at least speak louder so I can hear you when you find that Jet asshole.
It's hard to understand what you're saying when all you do is murmuring. That's why you're a damn otaku...

Gray: I... I see... Great...

Asch: (That geek bastard, pissing me off all the time...
Why do I have to do this in the first place? Does it have anything to do with me?
Just hitting the wall won't calm me down... I should force Geek to look for Jet moreー)

???: Uwaaaah...!
Asch: !?

Gray: S... Stop...! Don't come here...!

Asch: Wh...
(What are those?
Where did they come from? I thought there was no one but Jet...!)

Gray: Uwah!

Asch: Tch, that bastard...!



Asch: Hah, haah... What were those guys...
They look like prisoners, but don't say anything... They look like machines, or better, like puppets...

Gray: They looked like video game characters...

Asch: Ha, talking about games at a time like this. I'm gonna puke my guts out.

Gray: ...!

Asch: Anyway, don't you have something to say to me to begin with? You're not goin' to thank me for helping you?

Gray: Uh...
T... Thank you... very much...

Asch: Tch, always the reluctant look. Be more grateful...
Anyway, those guys were lurking and yet​ you didn't you use your hero ability.
Well, I was just feeling like venting my stress, so I'm happy I slugged them hard.

Gray: ......

Asch: Geek, you really can't do anything, huh?

Gray: ......!

Asch: Even if you couldn't use your ability, there must have been a way to fight. A way to defend yourself...
And yet, you were freaking out and huddling up like that... and you have the nerve to call yourself a "hero".

Gray: ...!

Asch: That irritating look pisses me off, so drop it!

Gray: !!

Asch: How long do you intend to keep doing that...?
Who the hell declared he was going to risk his life to do it? We're all good at showing off, but when exactly are you going to risk your life?
You're always hung up on how you can't do it... You think clinging to the Old man and Victor will solve anything?
Nothin' will happen with such a tepid attitude, no matter how much time passes... Try acting as if your life depends on it!

Gray: ......

Asch: Hmpf. A coward like you should have been expelled.
... You're gonna go back to being a loser again? No, you've probably always been one.

Gray: Gh...

Asch: Tch, you're not even talking back...?
It was a waste of my precious time. Come on, let's go look for that Jet asshole.
Forget about splitting up and looking for him. But don't you dare get in my way. Got it, Geek?

Gray: ...... Under, stood...
