His Japanese wasn't quite as excellent as his English (he wasn't a native speaker of the former, after all), but he was fluent. He gestured with a hand towards Schultz, by way of indication. "He was planning to take on the boss, but is a rather new player. I was planning to take on the boss as well, and offered to party with him to help him learn the ropes a little better."

"You're welcome to join us, as long as no one else objects. Our fourth acquaintance is free to as well, though if she does I apologize for any conversations in English."
