| Within a beef noodle restaurant somewhere in the streets... | ||
| The child was enjoying her lunch alone at the table. | ||
| Though she doesn't necessarily have an aversion to hanging out with others, she doesn't particularly like to, either. | ||
| While people from the Liu Association normally dine in large, boisterous crowds, something about the child felt different from her peers. | ||
| The child could have been a part of such crowds if she tried, but she seems more comfortable eating alone. | ||
 Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
...Ow, hot. Yes, this is Ishmael speaking. | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Right now...? I'm in the middle of a meal, could it wait a... | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Got it... | |
| Right, perhaps it could be because of work keeping her busy. | ||
 Beef Noodle Restaurant Kind Restaurant Owner |
Poor girl, leaving without finishing your meal again? | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Um... Yeah, sorry. The usual treatment, please. | |
Beef Noodle Restaurant Kind Restaurant Owner |
Pack it up and keep it 'til you get back, right? You got it~ | |
| It looks like this certainly isn't the first time the child has left her food behind due to a call. | ||
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Yes, I'm outside now. Which way is it? | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Haah... And one more thing: I did ask for this since I had trouble getting along with others, but I'd like it if I could have my meals in peace at the very least. | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
...No, I mean! The noodles are all mushy by the time I'm finished! Are you telling me I should live exclusively off dumplings? | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
What?! Just use U Corp's stasis preservation packaging? Do you have any idea how expensive that is? | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Forget it! I'm hanging up. | |
| Irritated, the child ended the call. | ||
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Haah... You've got to be kidding, I ordered a double portion because I'd be free today. | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
...And they keep telling me I'm the only one they can trust these jobs with, so what more can I say to that? | |
| From the sound of it, the child is particularly skilled among her peers in Section 4 of the Liu's southern branch. Her specialty of quickly closing the distance for a close-quarter thrashing made her excellent at dealing with groups of foes alone. | ||
| Well... It could mean her talent doesn't quite mesh well with Liu Association's main expertise of coordinated offense, in other words. | ||
| If she was such a sociable type, she wouldn't have had to desert her meal to catch up on a mission they were supposed to embark off on simultaneously in the first place, would she? | ||

??? Puny Thug |
Ugh, krh! | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Next. | |
| The child takes down one enemy after another just like that, a hint of anger visible on her face. | ||
??? Panicked Thug |
Tch, I can't stab through her clothes! | |
??? Panicked Thug |
Gaah! | |
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Hah, it'll take far more than that to penetrate an Association's attire. | |
| Her speed was overwhelming, slightly flustering the surrounding colleagues as she razed foes with the vigor of chopping down bamboo. | ||
??? Fearful Thug |
You, you piece of... | |
| And, as the remaining foes stumbled before the child... | ||
| Wagging her hand, the child taunted: | ||
Liu Section 4 Ishmael |
Come at me all at once. I'm pissed off 'cause my noodles are soggy. | |
