Marion: However, North has its own way of doing things. To keep winning do things my way from now on.

Gast: Haaah!!
Tch, doesn't look like it's workin' much...

Uwah!!

(... Shit! I'm surrounded.
I should keep up my strength since I dunno when other heroes are gonna come.
This... goes up?)

......!

(Crap, the bird model eclipse...!)

ー Day of the competition.

 

Gast: (We scored the best points during yesterday's last practice, so if we keep this up we might win.
Uuh~ I wanna shoot before I forget what it feels like...)

Ooooi, Ren. Today's the day of the competition~. Get up quickly and let's get ready.

Ren: Nnngh...

Gast: It's about time you get up. Waking up your body is also important, ya know~?

Gast: W- What the heck...?
Ah, right. Want some coffee too, Marion? It's decaffeinated, so it's fine to drink it at night.
Wonder if I should call Ren too, while at it. He did say he likes coffee.

Marion: ...... That's it.

Gast: Mh?

Marion: I told you it's nothing. Find out yourself.
I don't need coffee, I'm going back to my room. You should think over your words and actions a bit more.

Gast: O- Okay...

What did he mean?

Ren: ...... Tch.

(My accuracy is lower than before. I do hit the target, but I miss my aim.
... I was told my center isn't steady so I tried to fix it, but that didn't work either.
It bothers me and that makes me lose concentration... It's a vicious circle.)

Jay: Ren, you're tensing up around your shoulders too much. You're stiff and so are your muscles, that's why you can't come to grips with the recoil.

Ren: ... I know.

Gast: Sorry, Jay. In the end, I had you go along with me to my practice...
Though I feel like somehow I'm starting to get how the pair competition works.

Jay: Don't worry, it's been a while since I last touched a gun, it reminded me of when I was a rookie. Thank you for the opportunity.
I forgot to ask you about the details earlier, but why can't your two mentors coach you this time? If you don't mind me asking.

ー The next day.



Gast: Haah~~~~~

(In the end, yesterday wasn't good at all. The more we tried, the more mistakes we did, I feel like getting in each other's way got us stuck in a vicious cycle...
No, no, 's too early to feel the blues. I wanna use this opportunity to get friendlier with Ren.
Though, in the past several months I've learned that when Ren's stuck in his ways it's tough... What to do~?)

Lily: Ren, concentrate more.

Gast: ?

Jay: ♪~

Lily: Jay. You seem in a very good mood.

Jay: Oh, instructor Lily. That's because I was able to get some limited edition donuts last-minute.
I gave up the idea of getting the better part, so I was happy when I found them... and unconsciously ended up buying too much. Take one, if you want.

Lily: Donuts are the source of your strength, huh. I'll gratefully take one.
Although I don't think donuts are the only reason you're happy.

Gast: (Working me hard right after patrol... Been a while since I felt run-down.
Though I'm happy Marion's teaching us properly now. It's kinda like we're finally a team or something.
In addition to training, Marion and Ren seem to be also getting along better after occasionally doing Tai Chi together and going on a special mission in Chinatown.
... When I think about how harsh it was at the beginning, it's unbelievable.
As for Doctor, he's locked in his lab as usual... or rather, he's there more than before, not sure what he's up to, though.
Haven't been used as a guinea pig much lately either, I wonder if he's into something...)
