[The door opens, but the chain is on it. Kaiji opens the door, frowns sharply, and almost closes the door.]

What do you want.

[assaultedramen]

[Miki's face is momentarily one of anger, but she manages to real it back, take a large breath, and compose herself.]

Well I was gonna do this after I got out of prison, but it didn't feel right. There...

[She takes another breath, trying to find the strength to continue on.]

There's something I want to tell you. Can I come in?

[genius_idiot]

[Kaiji looks skeptical.]

Ya can't just tell me here?

1/5

[assaultedramen]

I..I guess.

I just want to...

2/5

[assaultedramen]

I just wanted to.. uh

[assaultedramen]

[assaultedramen]

[assaultedramen]

I just want to say that I'm sorry...

1/2

[genius_idiot]

[Did she seriously just say what I think she said]

[genius_idiot]

[MUST. RESIST. BEING AN ASSHOLE.]

....

What brought this on?

Let the asshole flow through you Kaiji, do not be afraid, embrace it...

[assaultedramen]

Well, er...


I just...

Saori spent a lot of money to get me out. I figured...


...I figured that I at least owed her this much, that I would stop being so mean to you.

it is his nature. 1/2

[genius_idiot]

[Saori. That explains it. Even she could influence Miki to be like this. Saori, you are magical.

Kaiji frowns again, thinking. He makes a quiet, frustrated sound, and scratches the back of his head. He doesn't want to believe Miki would actually stop being a jerk to him, but if it's for his girlfriend...]

...

[genius_idiot]

[He sighs.]

Alright. Fine. Consider this a truce, I guess.

[assaultedramen]

T...thanks. I know this is probably hard, but I have been a too harsh on you. I really feel like I should make it up to you in some way. I don't have much money right now, but... h-have you eaten yet today? I...I guess I should at least buy you a meal...

[genius_idiot]

[Dinner what no. This is awkward enough.]

Look, don't worry about it. If Saori seriously busted you outta jail, she's the one you oughta buy dinner for.

[assaultedramen]

Yeah, I guess I do owe her something. I don't know how I can make up for this, I've never had ten thousand dollars in my life...

[genius_idiot]

...........

[genius_idiot]

How fucking much?!

1/3

[assaultedramen]

DON'T GET MAD AT ME YO-

2/3

[Deep Breath]

[assaultedramen]

Ten thousand. She got the money from the pale guy who runs the bookstore.

[genius_idiot]

...That Gilgamesh guy?! I-- What sh-- Miki, what the hell did you do to get put away for so much money?

[assaultedramen]

Yeah. I could either pay the fine or spend a year in jail for the training I did. The cops got mad that I chained the doors of the school closed and that I went too far with the red haired girl.

[genius_idiot]

Chained the doors? "Too far"? What... Do I even wanna know?

[assaultedramen]

I didn't want people leaving the other doors and missing my training. The other part was the huge fight I got into with Asuka after I sprayed her with a hose.

[genius_idiot]

...Why did you think that was a good idea? Shoulda known Asuka was involved.

[assaultedramen]

I wanted to see how good everyone was at dealing with the shadows in a fight. They needed to be on guard but not knowing what was coming, and it seemed like the best way to do it. I didn't hurt any normal kids...

[genius_idiot]

Ya don't think that was going overboard?

[assaultedramen]

I know that now. At the time I wasn't really thinking it through. But it's a lot easier to think about these things after spending a week in jail thinking about them.

[genius_idiot]

I'll say. Well... I guess ya better revise your training regimen.

[assaultedramen]

I will, I got what I needed out of it anyway since most of the kids did show up. Next time we'll just do it in an abandoned factory or something.

[genius_idiot]

Just take it easy next time. I mean, they're just kids.

[assaultedramen]

The shadows aren't going to go easy on them. I'll back off a little bit but we can't afford toler them go soft.

Some of them are pretty good fighters too, and they won't get better if we don't challenge them.
