Event Story – Bash Street Boys, ch.8

[kozvme]

 

Sage: I had no idea what Teacher meant at the time, but he was doing exactly the same thing as you, Nico.
He let Jude-kun run wild to make the most of his skills.

Nico: ......

Sage: Actually, thanks to Jude-kun's efforts, we got good results at LOM.

Nico: I remember that match.

Sage: His popularity skyrocketed thanks to that. And he became someone everyone at HELIOS admires.

Nico: That's because up until that point, all attention was on Marion.

Sage: Thanks, Nico. Thanks to you I know what to do ♪

Nico: Hm? What are you gonna do?

Sage: I'll try to come up with a battle plan that draws on Jude-kun effectively.
I don't believe Teacher was simply letting him do whatever he wanted.
He came up with an approach that let us support Jude-kun while still keeping us out of the way...

Nico: Jude will listen to you in a way if it means he can enjoy himself.

Sage: The problem is, how much can I take advantage of Jude-kun's abilities?
Hmm. I wish I could find out what Jude-kun is thinking or wants to do without him telling me.

Nico: I think you understand him well enough right now, though...

Sage: Ahahah, I'm not there yet.
I'm not in tune with him like you, Nico, nor do I understand him as well as Bianchi-san.

Nico: It only happens when we fight. And Bianchi is an exception.
I believe you're way more incredible for smiling while listening to him.

Sage: You think? I enjoy Jude-kun's stories about Bianchi-san; they make me smile ♪

Nico: That's commendable.

Sage: Ah, I know! What if I worked with Jude-kun for a while?
That way, I might be able to understand him a little better!

Nico: If you're fine with that...

Sage: Huh? I'm totally in! It all depends on whether Jude-kun gives me the okay...



Jude: I see, you want to be around me?

Sage: Is that a no?

Jude: Sure, I don't really mind.

Sage: Waaah ♪ Thanks, Jude-kun!

Bianchi: W- Wait a second! Are you serious!?

Jude: No worries, haha. Sage may be with me, but I'm always with you, Bianchi.

Bianchi: I wasn't talking to you!
Even if it's only to convey your point, I don't advocate it, sweetie.
Staying with that guy 24/7 will drive you insane. I'm saying this because he has been pestering me for years.

Sage: It's fine. We spent every day together as rookies. And if Jude-kun is okay with it, I don't have any problems either.

Jude: I'm fine with that, too. Sage is actually harmless. It makes no difference whether he's there or not.

Sage: Jude-kun... ♪

Bianchi: That should not make you happy!

Jude: Besides, I know Sage will leave us alone when you want my advice on life matters.

Sage: Of course. I don't intend to get in the way.

Bianchi: As if I'd ever ask YOU anything! I'll have Sage tell me my fortune!

Jude: Haha, that's another possibility. Sage's fortune telling is often spot on.

Sage: Yeah, leave it to me ♪

Bianchi: Haah, I'm so worried...
