Asahi smiled as yuuno tried to hold up a conversation. This awkwardness about her was cute. He wished he could just… Bask in it. However, he knew they both didn’t really have a lot of time together. As much as Asahi wanted to stand up and take Yuuno out places, he could feel himself getting sleepy again. The medicine was starting to kick in, so he guessed that in about ten to thirty minutes he was going to be asleep. He had to get some things off his chest.

[color=008b45]”First... I thought you forgot about me… Ever since that incident at the pizza place. I understand, now. I’m sure you already heard how Arms Slave threaten someone, and how… That made a big mess… Heh.”[/color]

Asahi started laughing at himself now. It seemed so… Surreal. He couldn’t help but be both thankful, and hateful towards Eris. For causing him so much trouble. For showing him what’s wrong with him. For betraying the Ebony Strykers. For making him realize things need to change. 

[color=008b45]”Don’t go. Heh… This blanket, it’s kinda small. Doesn’t keep me very warm. It's so cold...”[/color]

In reflection, Asahi wondered why he never realized it himself. All the fighting, killing, cruelty he did, how did he manage to do so much and never once think that he was doing wrong? Perhaps because those who were right were the ones who were alive. No one has ever stood up to Asahi or lived to fight against him like Eris did. Was she too strong for him? Perhaps. But that didn’t mean her message was lost on him. He only wished he could have handled it better.

[color=008b45]”I don’t blame you. I’m a bad guy. Thought about changing. For the better. For… Y-”[/color]

Just as he was about to finish a cheesy line, Yoshino arrived to his room. This was a very unexpected surprise. What could she possibly be here for? Perhaps it was Yuuno? No, if she wanted to do that, Yoshino could have simply texted her. No, Yoshino was here for Asahi, he knew it. But why? How? Asahi didn’t exactly know Yoshino. And last he remembered, he never told Yoshino that he was Arms Slave… Though perhaps Yuuno did. He did give Yuuno his information, and she could have passed it along to Yoshino. That and Yoshino was deep in cahoots with the Sweepers, who surely did have files on him. Gulping, Asahi hoped that Yoshino wasn’t here for Sweeper business. If yesterday was any indication, the Sweepers had some problems to deal with. Asahi hoped he wasn’t one of those problems.

[color=008b45]”Y-Yoshino, I mean, Tsugumi-san. I didn’t know you’d be here. Are… Are you here for Yuuno?”[/color]

Nodding her head, Retsu took Kanbaru’s words as further proof. While it was fairly obvious, and indeed Retsu more or less got her confirmation from Yoshino herself yesterday, Retsu still had her doubts. But perhaps it was in a more existential sense. All this time Retsu has been looking up to Moon Rider so much that there was still doubts that the Black King and Yoshino were two different people. If anyone knew how Retsu was normally like, they could easily assuming that she and Dark Wraith were one and the same. But somehow, Yoshino and Moon Rider still felt so… Different. 

Not that this was a bad thing. Two sides of the same coin perhaps, but it was the coin that Retsu wanted.

Eventually Kanbaru and Retsu arrived to Chiyo’s home. It was fitting for someone of her standings: way too big to be economically practical, and essentially flaunting Chiyo’s wealth and lizzie lafair attitude towards the more working-class. As such, much of the home needed some cleaning and maintenance. The grass was starting to grow in unsightly patches, bushes needed to be trimmed, and many of the windows needed to be washed. Getting their equipment Retsu and Kanbaru were rushed towards the front door, where the head maid began doling out orders. Retsu and Kanbaru were to clean the the bedrooms, doing the sheets, blankets, pillows, and any laundry left behind. They were given permission to use the washing machine, however they could only use their own detergent.

With their job as well as their cover given to them Retsu took Kanbaru to the side. [color=cd2626]”Let’s not waste time. We have to find Chiyo’s room first, and then we’ll move onto the other rooms.”[/color] Carrying a large empty basket and a bag of detergent, Retsu went to go find Chiyo’s room.
