"You've just missed Shotaro Hidari. I'm probably fighting those that make the city cry. I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done."

Tip Box
The box is cardboard, mostly purple with some black bits. The top has a standup part on it that reads "Hidari Detective Agency". The message on it says: Need help? Know someone that does? See something weird you want someone to look into? Leave me a note here!

None of this is your fault.

I should have prepared you a little better. I know this competition existed. But I figured getting you to relax with John a little might have done you some more good.

Ah, that was your idea? It was highly entertaining.

John wanted a way to help out. I thought that might do the trick.

It did. Thank you, Shotaro.

What are partners for? Don't get all sappy on me now.

[ He's still not really sure what being "partners" means, but whatever. ]

Be that as it may, I still have no real intention of defeating Eiji Hino. I don't believe I'm capable of doing so without causing him serious injury.

Just be careful out there.

I will.

[ He gets quiet, looking down at his stump of an arm. ]

[Distracting the partner with bullshit is go.] Hey, so I think things with Fetch may actually pan out into something.

With Fetch? [ Blink blink. ] Your opponent from the first round? Are you going to fight her again?

~~I wish.~~ I asked her out for coffee before the match. We haven't had the date yet but we've been talking and she's pretty cool.

Ah, a romantic interest then? I see! Is that what prompted that unusual technique of hers partway through the fight...?

Unusual technique? You mean the kiss?

Is that what it was called? She put her mouth on top of yours. I have been unable to discern the tactical use of the technique, but in retrospect it does seem less violent and more tender in nature.

No it's not really a fighting thing. She kissed me because she thought it would distract me. Fortunately, I'm always on the alert for strategies like that.
