And monsters must die?

[trashblaze]

No, I have monster friends! Not all of them are hostile like the Antimatter Legion.

[hallowedly]

What a strange creature you are.

[trashblaze]

[ He'll take that as a compliment. 🌸 ]

Hehe. Well, the building itself is safe now, but I can't say the same for the neighboring streets. If you're coming over, please be careful!

[hallowedly]

I'll have to consider local security.

[trashblaze]

That's a good idea. Do you have someone to ask?

I'll try to clean up the streets whenever I come and visit!

[hallowedly]

Am I in your care?

[trashblaze]

Of course! I will always take care of my friends.

[ … Oh. Wait. ]

You want me to do it?

[hallowedly]

It matters now?

[trashblaze]

Well, I was thinking you could ask someone who lives closer, so they can rush whenever there's an emergency…

[ SoHo is a little far from here. But Caelus is energetic and has ways of quickly getting around (namely, his skateboard), so it's not impossible, but it's better to have additional safety measures! ]

But if you're set on asking me, I will do my best!

[hallowedly]

In fact, you're not the type of person who pays mind if he's been asked.

[hallowedly]

( C h i r p i n g along: )

But since you have now, please don't trouble yourself on my account.

[trashblaze]

You know me so well already, Mr. Sakurazuka!

[ That's why he mentioned clean up whenever he's in the area… He'd still do it, even if someone else is already on the task. ]

Don't worry, I love doing this. [ Forever helping friends! ] I'll leave the decision to you, but I'll always be at your service!

[hallowedly]

Ah, as a young man, please don't say something so earnest to an older one so casually!

[trashblaze]

Why? Are you moved to tears?

[hallowedly]

It's... more the question this raises.

[trashblaze]

[ …

You know, Caelus never considered that, but now he's a bit embarrassed!? ]

I didn't mean it that way!!

[hallowedly]

I'm... touched either way?

[trashblaze]

[ GEEZ. He tries to shake off the embarrassment… ]

A— all right. But you know what I mean, okay!? I'll protect everyone, as always!

[hallowedly]

Is that something someone asked you to do?

[trashblaze]

It's my duty as a Nameless from the Astral Express. But I'm also doing it because I want to.

[hallowedly]

May I ask something inconvenient?

[trashblaze]

What's on your mind?

[hallowedly]

You're aware you're no longer on your Astral Express. Why are you clinging to your duty?

[trashblaze]

This isn't the first time that I've been stuck on a planet without contact with the Express. I may not be with some of them right now, but the Express is my dearest family. My heart will always belong to them.

Besides, I really meant it when I said it's what I want to do. I truly enjoy trailblazing!
