So that's what Major Ingram was up to? I never even suspected...

But in the end we still have a lot to thank him for, right? I don't think Unity Group would do as well as it did if he wasn't there to support us. Even if he had his own reasons.

Still, if he fights us again, we'll just have to beat him somehow, right? We can't let him do as he pleases.


I promised someone that I'll protect her and return safely. It happened a long time ago and I don't remember it... but she does. I'll keep that promise.

[But rather than focusing exclusively on serious things, Izuru has some other business to take care of.]

Go! Go and live once more!

[After weeks of tinkering, it's finally ready - he releases the cleaning bot that Kagura stomped on so long ago!

It moves a few feet forward before making discordant beep noises and spinning like a top.]


Umm.

Is this what should be happening?

[Spin spin spin.]

I know. But still, it'd be nice if there wasn't such a need, right? It'd mean the world really became a peaceful place.

[booty_chaser]

Not really. A hero is about more than just fighting, Izuru. What matters is that you help people, even in times of peace.

If there was no need for people who help, that'd mean nothing hard was left to do. [Ashe extends a fist in front of her, punching the air with a grin and holding the pose, challenging the universe] And THAT sure isn't a world I'd want to live in!.

[herodrawing]

Ooh...

I get it!

Alright, I know what you're talking about Ashe. There are all kinds of heroes in the world, right?

[booty_chaser]

You bet!

Though I shouldn't be talking. I'm only a hero on the side, because it's the right thing to do, after all! First and foremost, I'm an adventurer!

[herodrawing]

Well, we just had a talk that said all kinds of people can be heroes. I'm mostly a soldier and pilot myself, you know!
