Kazuho offered a brief smile and a small nod. “Of course. We will leave at dawn tomorrow,” the boy stated, standing with Inari. “Though, I would like you to know, I did not have the time you think I did. We finalized these plans just yesterday when the fight was announced. Quite suddenly as well, as is the Captain Commander's style. However, I am glad to be thrown into this situation with a capable Vice Captain such as yourself.” He offered his hand to his new partner, waiting for him to take it in turn. “I will see you tomorrow unless other matters cause me to call on you.”

Once it was done and his Inari left, he turned his attention back to the Captain Commander who just smiled up at him. “I understand what you're doing now. Is it a wise choice, though? While they are alike in one way, it doesn't mean they are compatible as a team,” he advised.

“If they are alike in that one way, they'll know the important on teamwork here. More importantly, they'll learn to fight without a team,” Kazuho explained in response. “It'll be needed where we'll be stationed. You know that as well as I do.”

The Captain Commander only gave a nod, standing to follow the new Captain out. They still had a few matters to attend to before they could call it a day.
