Episode 322: Future Policy

"... we're going to have to do two or three things."

Will opens his mouth to break the silence.

"First, to find a way to regain Shirley's consciousness, second, to build Roy's sword, which was originally planned, and third, to stop Golzola."

That's right.

We have things to do.

You can't just stop.

"I don't have time for Shirley, especially in this.... or leave Golzola alone, but the battle ahead will be tough if Roy can't help it. Right there. Why don't we split up and act on the Shirley thing from here, Roy's sword?

... It's certainly more efficient.

Besides, you better get your system in place faster than you know when Golzola will work.

"I agree.... but I'll let Shirley go."

"... right. I like that. Then I'm more of a sword. Either way, you're gonna have to make your own.... and I have to stop Mr. Louise with this hand... Lat, can you please?

……

"Rat......?

"Oh, oh, yes! Of course! … I just need one favor"

"Please?"

"... let me fight with you too!!

Lat utters words with a thoughtful and secret look.

... you mean Claude...

"I'm good, but... it's dangerous and it could be a tough fight, huh?

"That's more than you know! Please!

That's what I say. Rat bows his head.

I move my gaze to Roy and Will and they both snort silently.

That's settled.
