The Untouchable Secret
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"The Untouchable Secret"Video Summary: "There must be an unseen price to pay."
Story Description: Harumasa's taking another day off. Tsukishiro Yanagi mentions a recent case involving illegal meds that might soon be handed over to Section 6. Harumasa appears to be very intrigued.
- One morning, inside the HSO Section 6 office...
- Asaba Harumasa: Chief Miyabi, Tsukishiro, hello~ I'm so pleased to see you in such good health.
- Asaba Harumasa: I'm here to submit my sick leave form, same as before. You know the drill.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Three sick days this week. Got it.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Chief, please don't go along with him. This isn't like ordering at a restaurant.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Asaba, I have reminded you several times now, you've already used up your leave for the year. In theory, we can't approve your requests anymore.
- Asaba Harumasa: Theory is just theory, it's not like I can control this. You all know I've been sick since I was a kid and I still get flare-ups every now and then. That's why my family abandoned me...
- Soukaku: Huh? Didn't you say last time that you had no parents, just a master?
- Asaba Harumasa: Yeah, after my parents abandoned me, my master took me in. I passed all the tests for the HSO, but got rejected because of my health. Thankfully, Chief Miyabi took pity on me...
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I didn't choose you out of pity. It was simply because you were the strongest candidate.
- Asaba Harumasa: Aww, you're too kind. What can I say, I'm a genius.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: ...Fine. I'll figure something out for your leave, but three days is the absolute limit. And don't pull what you did last time, sending me a fake thermometer picture at midnight on the third day, asking to extend your leave.
- Asaba Harumasa: Correction: that wasn't fake. It was the actual reading!
- Asaba Harumasa: Though... it was my cat's temperature.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: *Sigh* ...Public Security recently seized a batch of illegal pharmaceuticals. Supposedly, they can temporarily boost Ether aptitude.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: This is a highly important case and could be transferred to us soon. When that happens, you won't have the flexibility to take any more time off.
- Asaba Harumasa: Drugs that can boost Ether aptitude... Where were they seized?
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: In the Hollow at Port Elpis. This is new, are you actually interested in the case?
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh, please, you know I'd never be interested in work.
- Asaba Harumasa: But a drug like that sounds perfect for slacking off. Wouldn't it be useful on missions...? Why was it banned?
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Because it's too good to be true. And even if it's real, there must be some unforeseen consequences.
- Asaba Harumasa: ...
- Hoshimi Miyabi: That was a cool line, Yanagi.
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Uh... Thanks, Chief.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: I've heard of this drug before, but it was years ago.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: It can boost Ether aptitude temporarily, but the side effects are severe. It worsens corruption symptoms and can even cause the user to turn into an Ethereal.
- Soukaku: Th—Those are the consequences Nagi was talking about!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: In any case, seeking power like this is pure opportunism.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Real strength comes from hard work, not shortcuts.
- Asaba Harumasa: But in this world, those with real strength are always a rare minority.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Did you just... say something?
- Asaba Harumasa: Nope, nothing~ I'll let you get back to approving my sick leave, then.
- Asaba Harumasa: *coughs* My chest is starting to hurt again. Feels like I'm dying...
- Asaba Harumasa: Anyhoo, I'll get out of your hair now. See you after my leave. Take care, everyone~
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: This guy... He doesn't even try to fake it anymore...
- Soukaku: He takes a leave like this every month. I bet he's just sneaking off somewhere and stuffing his face with tasty food!
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Harumasa just has something he has to get done. If possible, I'd also like to...
- Tsukishiro Yanagi: Oh, no you don't. Chief, we have a very important meeting tomorrow. Please make sure you attend it... and don't be late.
- Hoshimi Miyabi: Oh...
- Sometime later, inside the video store.
There was a faint knock at the door— - However, there was only one knock, and it quickly went silent.
- (SiblingSibling): (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)... was it my imagination, or was that a knock on the door just now? 
I heard it, too.
- (SiblingSibling): But it really was just one knock... That's certainly weird.
- (SiblingSibling): They didn't collapse outside or something, did they?
- Who would only knock once?
- (SiblingSibling): (It can't be that they're too lazy to even knock a second time, right?It can't be that they're too lazy to even knock a second time, right? /
I don't think people who are too lazy to knock more than once actually exist...I don't think people who are too lazy to knock more than once actually exist...) - (SiblingSibling): Huh. For some reason, the minute I said that, a certain someone came to mind...
- (SiblingSibling): (It can't be that they're too lazy to even knock a second time, right?It can't be that they're too lazy to even knock a second time, right? /
- (SiblingSibling): We should probably go check just in case.
Go to the door and take a look
- (Interact with the front door)
Obsession
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Persistence"Video Summary: Of course, he also has things he can't let go of and people he can't see.
Story Description: Harumasa comes to you for help, claiming that he needs to venture into the Hollow to investigate a case related to illegal meds. The manufacturer has been is a wanted criminal, and Harumasa is determined to track him down.
- Asaba Harumasa: Hey there, you two. How's it going?
- I knew it was you
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I knew it was you... The only person that's too lazy to knock twice.I knew it was you... The only person that's too lazy to knock twice. /
I knew it was you! Didn't even bother knocking twice...I knew it was you! Didn't even bother knocking twice...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I knew it was you... The only person that's too lazy to knock twice.I knew it was you... The only person that's too lazy to knock twice. /
- Oh, it's you
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Oh, it's you... No wonder there was only one knock. Too lazy to knock again, huh.
- Asaba Harumasa: Knocking on the door is just another thing that wears me out. As long as I get what I need, it doesn't matter how many times I knock.
- Asaba Harumasa: More importantly, I need your help with something...
- Asaba Harumasa: Actually, you're the only ones who can help me out.
- (SiblingSibling): What is it? Sounds pretty serious when you put it like that...
- Asaba Harumasa: I need to go into the Hollow for a case, but my Carrot's acting up... You're the only Proxies I know that I can trust.
- No way this is about work?
- Since when did you become so passionate about work?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): No way, this is actually for work...? Since when did you become so passionate about your job? (...Is there something you're not telling me?...Is there something you're not telling me? /
You're not messing with me, are you?You're not messing with me, are you?) - Asaba Harumasa: Ouch, that hurts. As a professional Executive Officer, I have always been proactive at my job, haven't I?
- Asaba Harumasa: Besides, this is an excellent opportunity for you to see me in action!
- Asaba Harumasa: I'm sure the experience will come in handy if you run into any "trouble" in the future~
- (SiblingSibling): We don't want any trouble with the Executive Officers... Anyway, what's this case that you're working on?
- Asaba Harumasa: I'm trying to track down a wanted criminal who's been missing for years now. His major crime is developing an illegal drug through illicit means.
- Asaba Harumasa: This drug is beyond existing theoretical knowledge and can significantly boost the user's Ether aptitude temporarily.
- Asaba Harumasa: Simply put, it's like a wonder drug you see in the movies that can deliver superhuman strength with a single injection.
- Sounds interesting
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): If there really is such a wonder drug... Then wouldn't that give anyone free entry into the Hollows? I feel like there would be some serious side (effects.effects. /
effects...effects...)
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): If there really is such a wonder drug... Then wouldn't that give anyone free entry into the Hollows? I feel like there would be some serious side (effects.effects. /
- Sounds suspicious
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That sounds really (suspicious.suspicious. /
suspicious!suspicious!) If we were in a movie, (this is the partthis is the part / I feel like this is the partI feel like this is the part) where the protagonist asks: "But at what cost?"
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That sounds really (suspicious.suspicious. /
- (SiblingSibling): (WiseWise /
BelleBelle) is right. If such a drug really does exist and is safe to use, the city would already be researching and promoting it, wouldn't they? - Asaba Harumasa: ...Yes, this drug is extremely dangerous. In theory, it should have been completely destroyed years ago, but recently, some rumors have started to circulate...
- Asaba Harumasa: They're probably connected to the drug's creator, the criminal I mentioned before.
- Asaba Harumasa: And my goal is to find him.
- Asaba Harumasa: Of course, I'll offer you fair compensation. Dennies are meant to be spent, so just name your price.
- You should have mentioned that earlier.
- When do we leave?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): You should have mentioned that sooner! Of course we'll help you. Understanding the job of an Executive Officer is very important... So, when do we leave?
- Asaba Harumasa: Now! No time to lose.
- Asaba Harumasa: Meet me at Port Elpis. I'll be waiting for you there, partner.

Main article: The Source
- (Begin the commission)
- Asaba Harumasa: Let's search for clues in this area and see if we can find anything on the suspicious drug.
- (Enter combat)
- Asaba Harumasa: Whoa, looks like we've got a big one over there.
- (Approach the helicopter)
- Asaba Harumasa: Well, well. To think I'd find a helicopter here of all places.
- Asaba Harumasa: Though it's a shame — this big guy's outta commission, and the clue I was hoping to find isn't in it.
- Do you like helicopters?
- Asaba Harumasa: ...
- Asaba Harumasa: When I was little, I once fantasized about riding the wind.
- Asaba Harumasa: That way, as long as there was wind, I could go anywhere.
- Asaba Harumasa: ...As if I were born free.
- Asaba Harumasa: ...Actually, shouldn't I just learn how to pilot a helicopter?
- I thought you already knew how.
- Asaba Harumasa: Haha, you really think highly of me. As expected of my partner~
- I support that! Go learn it!
- Asaba Harumasa: Haha, I'm just kidding.
- Asaba Harumasa: You probably won't believe me, but my phone's lock pattern is always an arrow pointing to the upper right, like a plane.
- Asaba Harumasa: Though that symbol's got a few other meanings...
- Asaba Harumasa: Oops, I'm rambling. Let's keep moving.
- Fairy: Alert.
- Fairy: A suspicious biological signal has been detected ahead. Please remain alert.
- Fairy: Additionally, a control switch for a container has been located on the opposite side. Use it if needed.
- (Shoot the target)
- Asaba Harumasa: A bow is so convenient at times like this~
- Asaba Harumasa: It's perfect for someone as efficient as me.
- Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): I think you mean lazy...
- (After defeating the enemies)
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh my, now there's a familiar face.
- Asaba Harumasa: If someone from Public Security is here, I must have found the right place.
- Asaba Harumasa: C'mon, let's go say hi!
- (Approach Seth Lowell)
Unraveling the Past
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"The Past"Video Summary: When he gets serious, it's hardly ever for something good.
Story Description: Public Security is hunting for clues in the Hollows related to illegal meds. Harumasa confirms that the meds in question are counterfeits. At this very moment, a strange young man approaches, seeking help...
- Asaba Harumasa: How do you do, my fellow officers! Great work!
- Watt: That uniform... Is he an Executive Officer?! What is he doing here... Don't tell me those guys from HSO are trying to take our credit again?
- Asaba Harumasa: Relax. I'm not the type of person to take credit for someone else's work.
- Asaba Harumasa: Right, junior Seth? Oh, please say hi to your brother for me.
- Watt: Junior?
- Seth: Uh... He and I both graduated from the same academy, just not in the same year.
- Seth: So Asaba... Uh, Executive Officer, what are you doing here?
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh, nothing much, really. Just a teensy little favor.
- Asaba Harumasa: I know PubSec is investigating the illegal drug case. Can I take a look at the samples you seized?
- Watt: Th—That's crucial evidence! You're definitely trying to steal our credit... This case hasn't been transferred over to HSO yet!
- Asaba Harumasa: The drugs are connected to an important case I'm investigating. According to the Public Security handbook, rule number... What was it again? I forget...
- Asaba Harumasa: In any case, PubSec officers are obligated to assist Executive Officers with their investigations inside the Hollows.
- Asaba Harumasa: In other words — you can't say no to me.
- Watt: Mister Executive Officer, it's not that we don't want to provide them. It's just that all the confiscated drugs have been sent to the evidence room, and we don't have any with us right now... Right, Seth?
- Seth: Huh? Uhh... Th-That's right!
- Asaba Harumasa: Has anyone told you that you're terrible at lying?
- Asaba Harumasa: Since you aren't willing to cooperate, I guess I'll just have to take them myself.
- Harumasa dashes over to Seth with incredible speed...
- Seth: Such clean moves... Wait, d—did you just go through my pockets?!
- Asaba Harumasa: Aha, found it.
- Harumasa picks up the syringe he "confiscated" from Seth and carefully examines it in the sunlight.
Then, under the shocked gazes of the officers, he squeezes a few drops onto his palm before lowering his head to sniff the scent... - Then, he casually tosses the drug back to Seth.
- Asaba Harumasa: This is an unfinished product. You haven't completed the potency tests, have you... The active ingredients are too minimal to increase Ether aptitude.
- Asaba Harumasa: If you ask me, this isn't the real stuff, just a cheap knock-off.
- Seth: You... How did you manage to gather so much information from just a few looks and a couple of sniffs?
- Asaba Harumasa: Because I'm an elite from Section 6. So... do you regret choosing Public Security when you graduated?
- Watt: Hey, you really know how to piss someone off, don't you?
- Asaba Harumasa: Thanks for the compliment~ By the way, I should probably mention that there's a whole bunch of Ethereals over there sprinting this way. I'll leave them for our brave and skilled Public Security officers to handle!
- Watt: Wait, you're just gonna hide behind us like that?!
- Asaba Harumasa: I'm sure you don't need me to deal with these Ethereals, right? Besides, I'm busy protecting my Bangboo here. I believe in you, go team~
- Huh?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Huh? Um... Sure, you do that, keep me safe...
- Asaba Harumasa: Don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you~
- Don't use me as an excuse...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Come on. Using me as an excuse now?Come on. Using me as an excuse now? /
...Hey, don't use me as an excuse at a time like this!...Hey, don't use me as an excuse at a time like this!) - Asaba Harumasa: You're making me sad... I genuinely wanted to protect you from the bottom of my heart.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Come on. Using me as an excuse now?Come on. Using me as an excuse now? /
- Seth: ...Just ignore him. Let's fight.
- After a fierce battle, the Public Security officers defeat the swarm of Ethereals...
- But right at that moment, a boy appears nearby, stumbling towards the group.
- ???: Help... Help me...
- Asaba Harumasa: ...
- Seth: Young citizen, have you gotten lost in the Hollow? Do you need help?
- ???: They... are still... there... help...
- Watt: His eyes... What's happening? Is that a sign of corruption?
- ???: ...There's no... time...
- Seth: I don't think he can see us... Maybe he can't hear us, either?
- Asaba Harumasa: *tsk* Stay away from him!
- ???: I... I can't... Ahhhh...!
Rest in Peace
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"Rest in Peace"Video Summary: One day, we will all reach the same end.
Story Description: The strange young man transforms into an Ethereal right in front of everyone, prompting Harumasa to adopt a rare serious stance for battle...
- ???: Roar—
- Watt: Th—The kid's turning into an Ethereal!
- Seth: But why... His corruption symptoms were pretty mild...
- Seth: Plus his core came out in seconds?! That's impossible...
- Watt: Oh no, he's gonna attack!
- Asaba Harumasa: ...It's too late.
- Asaba Harumasa: This Ethereal is tougher than it looks.
- Asaba Harumasa: If you don't want to fight, then get behind me, now.
- Asaba Harumasa: I'll... take him down.
- (Enter combat)
- Seth: This guy... Why do I get the feeling it isn't your average Ethereal?
- Asaba Harumasa: You're right, but worry about yourself first.
- Asaba Harumasa: I'd rather not have to scrape you off the floor here.
- Seth: ...Damn it, don't underestimate me!
- (Defeat the Ionized - Thanatos)
Unpleasant Reunion
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
"An Unpleasant Reunion"Video Summary: They say it is a "curse disguised as a blessing." but who did it really bless, and who did it curse?
Story Description: After defeating the Ethereal transformed by the young man, you come across Harumasa's senior, who seems suspicious. You learn that the young man was the senior's patient, suffering from an illness called "Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome."
- Asaba Harumasa: ...It's over now. Rest in peace.
- Seth: What happened to him? His corruption symptoms were unlike anything we've seen in the handbook. And his core appeared almost instantly, there was no chance we could've saved him...
- Asaba Harumasa: That's because those weren't signs of corruption, they're indicators of a late-stage disease.
- ???: Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome.
- ???: People with this condition are naturally frail, with lesions appearing on their skin. But they have a higher Ether aptitude than the average person.
- ???: In the late stages, their bodies will rapidly deteriorate until they gradually lose all sensory perception under severe pain. In the end, just like that kid, even the slightest contact with Ether causes severe corruption.
- ???: Their high Ether aptitude makes this disease turn a blessing into a curse. And there's no cure yet.
- Asaba Harumasa: ...
- ???: Long time no see, Harumasa. How have you been these past years?
- Seth: Do you... know each other?
- Asaba Harumasa: We're old acquaintances. What are you doing here?
- Kirishima: Look at you, all grown up. What happened to my little pal?
- Kirishima: Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kirishima. I'm a doctor, of sorts. That child who just turned into an Ethereal was my patient.
- Kirishima: His condition had progressed to late stages. He couldn't take the pain anymore, so he decided to enter the Hollow and end his own life...
- Kirishima: Sorry you had to see that. Children suffering from this disease usually don't live long. I wish I'd noticed his emotional struggles sooner.
- Seth: So all those strange things just now were symptoms of a disease...?
- Seth: At any rate, Public Security will need to look into this. We'll have to bring you in for a statement.
- Kirishima: No problem. I'll fully cooperate with Public Security's work. But first, could you please give me a moment to catch up with my dear classmate here?
- Seth: ...Go ahead.
- Seth and the other officer step aside to start examining the evidence left by the Ethereal...
- Asaba Harumasa: I don't really see any need for us to catch up.
- Kirishima: C'mon now, I thought we'd have a lot to share. Honestly, I never imagined you'd still be... and become such an outstanding Executive Officer. Impressive.
- Kirishima: But you've always been a well-behaved, diligent, and hardworking kid. It looks like all your effort has paid off.
- Diligent?!
- Hardworking?!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): "Well-behaved, diligent, and hardworking"... (None of that sounds like the Harumasa I know...None of that sounds like the Harumasa I know... /
Is this satire?Is this satire?) - Asaba Harumasa: I'll take that as a compliment.
- Asaba Harumasa: So, since when did you become a "doctor"? And one who takes on patients like that?
- Kirishima: I run a sanatorium that treats patients with Ether Aptitude Regression Syndrome... to make up for my past mistakes.
- Asaba Harumasa: I'm genuinely surprised hearing those words coming from your mouth.
- Kirishima: I may have done some bad things, but I was deceived by that man just like you were. You know that, otherwise I wouldn't have been acquitted.
- Asaba Harumasa: Whatever you say. What does any of this have to do with me?
- Kirishima: If fate has reunited us here, there must be a reason — you and I, we should work together.
- Kirishima: I've found some leads on him already. You've been looking for him for a while too, right? If you want, we can find him together as classmates—
- Asaba Harumasa: You've been investigating master?
- Kirishima: That's right. I found a shelter that he used to hide in years ago. It was corrupted by a Hollow, but there're still many clues left behind.
- Kirishima: If we work together and investigate the shelter, we might be able to follow the trail and locate where he's hiding now.
- Asaba Harumasa: ...Let me think about it.
- Asaba Harumasa: By the way, master told me that I was his only student. And you... were just an assistant.
- Asaba Harumasa: We're not "classmates." I was clueless as a kid and didn't care about these things, so I'd appreciate it if you stopped acting like we're friends.
- Kirishima: Come on, but we're indeed...
- Seth: Sorry, how much longer will you need? It's not safe, we should get out of here ASAP.
- Kirishima: We...
- Asaba Harumasa: We're done talking. The rest is Public Security's job and I won't interfere. Goodbye, everyone~
- Harumasa grabs the Bangboo beside him and rushes toward the Hollow exit, as if he's afraid someone was going to ask him to stay and work overtime...
- What were you guys talking about?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (WhatWhat /
Uh, whatUh, what) were you guys talking about? I couldn't follow at all...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (WhatWhat /
- No secrets allowed in MY New Eridu!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Ever heard of that old saying? "No secrets allowed in MY New Eridu"...
- Asaba Harumasa: Ahaha, sorry, sorry... That wasn't intentional.
- Asaba Harumasa: We can talk about it once we get somewhere safe.
His Past, Past Him
The following is recorded in the Video Archive
His Past and the Man He Once WasVideo Summary: "Family," perhaps it could also just be a one-sided wish.
Story Description: Harumasa shares with you the story of Kirishima and his master. Surprisingly, the wanted drug maker Harumasa is hunting down is none other than his master, with Kirishima serving as the assistant.
- Asaba Harumasa: To be honest, I was only planning to snag a few samples from the PubSec officers.
- Asaba Harumasa: Everything that happened afterwards — the kid turning into an Ethereal and Kirishima — none of that was part of the plan.
- Who exactly is this Kirishima guy?
- Kirishima said you were close?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (What's up with that Kirishima guy? You two clearly have history, but things felt kinda off...What's up with that Kirishima guy? You two clearly have history, but things felt kinda off... /
What's up with that guy... Kirishima? He said he was your senior. But something felt kinda off between you guys...What's up with that guy... Kirishima? He said he was your senior. But something felt kinda off between you guys...) - Asaba Harumasa: I have a master, and Kirishima was my master's assistant. I guess you could say we're old acquaintances.
- Asaba Harumasa: So yeah, no heartwarming cheesy movie moments between me and him.
- Asaba Harumasa: I don't trust him.
- I can tell
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I can tell that you two aren't very close...
- That's a little surprising...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): That's a little surprising. You don't usually dislike people so openly...
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh, and about the master thing. Cards on the table.
- Asaba Harumasa: Remember I told you the guy who made that drug is a wanted criminal who's been missing?
- Asaba Harumasa: Well, that wanted criminal... is my master.
- Asaba Harumasa: His drug improves Ether aptitude temporarily, but there's no way around the terrible side effects. And that's not all...
- Asaba Harumasa: He was found guilty by the inquisitors in a trial at the time, but disappeared before facing punishment.
- Asaba Harumasa: Kirishima thinks my master fled to avoid punishment. He feels that he was deceived into participating in illegal experiments, so he wants to get back at my master for it... he even wanted me to join him.
- What do you think of your master...?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (And what about you? Do you want revenge against your master, too?And what about you? Do you want revenge against your master, too? /
So what do you think of your master? Are you going to confront him, too?So what do you think of your master? Are you going to confront him, too?) - Asaba Harumasa: Master taught me a lot of things, including archery. To me, he was like family...
- Asaba Harumasa: I was clueless about his research until he disappeared.
- Asaba Harumasa: I've been hoping to find him, because... I have a question only he can answer.
- Asaba Harumasa: I've been trying to investigate this case since I became an Executive Officer, but there's never been any substantial evidence, until the drug resurfaced recently.
- Asaba Harumasa: The sample I saw was not my master's work. It's a cheap knock-off, an unfinished product that's less effective with worse side effects.
- Asaba Harumasa: There, I just told you everything. Very sincere of me as a partner, don't you think?
- Asaba Harumasa: Oh, one more thing, very important... This isn't actually for work, just my private investigation.
- Asaba Harumasa: If Chief Miyabi and the others ask you about it, can you keep it a secret for me, please~?
- Don't worry, your secret is safe with me
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.
- Asaba Harumasa: Thanks. You're the best partner.
- I'll think about it
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Hmm... I'll have to think about it...
- Asaba Harumasa: Huh, for real? Whatever you need, just say the word! Please!
- Asaba Harumasa: Oops, didn't realize it's so late already. I'm heading out.
- Asaba Harumasa: I'll let you know when I find any more leads.
- (SiblingSibling): Though I came mentally prepared, I knew dealing with an executive officer would get complicated.
