Stranger in a Strange Land: Chapter 09 - Definitely Zero

Thankfully for all involved, Jun was able to perform some quick cosmetic surgery on the
features Sei...rearranged. After a speedy recovery [during which he took precious time out to
attend a gathering in his honour], Shikai decided to make an even speedier exit...



Shikai : I can't say I'm all that cut up to leave.



Shikai : But I suppose I had an...interesting time here. And I'm not poorer having met some of you.



Shikai : I could have done without the reconstructive surgery though.



Shikai : But I have to admit...Kinjyou, I'd always thought you were all talk and no action.
I can't say I'm all that sorry to find otherwise.



Seishurou : ...



Seishurou : ...So, if I'd stabbed you a few more times -



Shikai : DON'T PUSH IT.



Seishurou : Hypothetically speaking, I meant.



Tsukisou : Shikai-sama. All of us - well. most of us, I suppose - wish you well in your coming travails.
Please give my regards to Uno-sama...and his compatriots when you meet him.



Seishurou : Hey, hold up, what's this about Uno, I thought you said you were over him?!



Tsukisou : I am merely paying my regards, Seishurou-sama - certainly it is only courteous to
put forth pleasantries to one's acquaintances?



Seishurou : Not when said acquaintance is that twit!
Shikai : ...



Si Ye : Forget about them, once they start, they'll never stop.



Si Ye : Shikai...sir, though I haven't had the chance to spend much time with you during your visit,
I have to admit I've always...admired you, and I look forward to the day you'll be reunited
with your...loved ones.



Shikai : ...Thanks.



Tsukisou : It is a sentiment we all share, Shikai-sama. Good luck. Have a good trip.





Seishurou : Good riddance!

Later that night...



Seishurou : Gah, that prick left one of his cancersticks here...





Seishurou : ...Wonder what he sees in them, anyway.
