Jinx: "Thanks for letting me come, Hitoshi."
Hitoshi: "It's no trouble, Jinx. When you get back to building 13, you should thank big brother too. Since he allowed us to bring you."
Jinx: "By the way, where's Kenshirou?"
Hitoshi: "Oh, he's just got a lot of paperwork to take care of."
Jinx: "Okay."
He lead me down to the underground cells of building 4. On the way, we were stopped by someone... rather unexpected.
Genrou: "Sugoroku!"
Hitoshi: "Ah! Y-yes, sir?!"
We turned around. I was expecting to see a guard, but instead, standing there was a fierce looking black dog.
Genrou: "What are you doing?! Bringing this child down here!"
Hitoshi: "She's here to visit 634, sir."
Jinx: "H-Hitoshi... that dog is talk—"
He covered my mouth.
Genrou: "What did she say?!"
Hitoshi: "N-nothing! I-if it make you feel better, Kenshi— I mean the Supervisor is aware of this."
Genrou: "Hm... I'll go talk with him then."
He walked off. Hitoshi heaved a sigh and took his hand off my mouth.
Jinx: "How... who...?"
Hitoshi: "Genrou's another guard here. Thanks to Kazari, he's able to talk. Though he's... kinda strict."
We kept going until we reached Musashi's cell.
Jinx: "Musashi!"
Musashi: "Hey, Jinx. Welcome to the underground."
Hitoshi goes to open the cell.
Jinx: "Oh, don't trouble yourself."
I slipped through the bars and Hitoshi smiled.
Hitoshi: "You're quite the special kid, number 33. You two have fun. I'll be back later."
He left.
Musashi: "I'm glad you came. It's good to have a variety of company."
I punched him in the gut.
Musashi: "Oof-!"
Jinx: "Anytime... well, anytime I'm allowed."
Musashi: "So, is this gut punching a thing between us now."
Jinx: "Yeah!"
Musashi: "Great..."
I giggled.
Jinx: "Hey, Musashi... it's great to see you, but... I was just curious... why did you ask for me?"
Musashi: "Uh- well, it's just... After what I did to Jyugo... I was kinda afraid you'd still be mad at me..."
I smiled and took his hand. It was warm.
Jinx: "Come on, man... have you been beating yourself up about this since the tournament? You apologised."
Musashi: "Well, you didn't forgive me as easily as your brother did."
Jinx: "Uno? Heh, yeah. That's just how he is. But no, I'm not mad. Besides... Jyugo said you can't use your fire anymore, right?"
