(EQ) Kabukicho Night Festival: Before the Festival (For Sandayu)

Sandayu: Wait, wait, Kresnik. Why are we in a place so out in the open?

Kresnik: You're the one who said we should talk while we eat. Isn't that why you came to the park?

Sandayu: Didn't you think that you could at least pick an oden shop and treat ourselves?! I was helping you with all those assignments that were piling up until a little while ago.

(Sandayu narrating) While complaining, I snatched some rice balls from the convenience store bag that my former business rival offered me.

Kresnik: You're just as stupid as ever...You know it's safer to do this anyway, sir.

Sandayu: Ah, it's just that we've been chasing each other for such a long time, so you can see what I'm thinking?

There is no preparation on the bench in the park where there's no cover, and there is a reasonable distance to the shrubbery and the visibility is good. There is no playground equipment nearby...the trash can is empty. Yes, it feels like the wind is blowing and there are no people around. It's perfect for two teachers after work to talk nonsense. While pulling the film off the rice ball, he cuts out the story. Of course, there is no topic other than that "student exchange system", right?

Sandayu: Well, those who claim to be the 3 True Guilds are just like those who use them for positive purposes. In the first place, the person who proposed this system was one of the "3 True Guilds". In short, the secret purpose is the exact opposite of exchange, sending your own pawns freely to do espionage activities. Well, if you don't have someone with enough influence to sway the school, you can't "utilize" this system.

Kresnik: It seems that it has become tangible and intangible due to the side effects of the other guilds. I also tried to find out about the history of the exchange program, but... There's no sign of a third-party intervention in either Shinjuku or Kabukicho. For the time being, I saw that it had nothing to do with the conflict between the guilds. Well, I guess it's just a matter of the upper management of the local people's academy trying to use a ready-made system for the time being.

Sandayu: Hmm...that's mostly consistent with the information I've gathered.

Kresnik: Ah, for the time being you can judge that the risk is low. Now students can enjoy the festival too. The only remaining question is whether or not our students will be comfortable accepting exchange students... Mr. Sandayu, thank you for following up with your students...thank you very much.

Sandayu: Hey, what's with the sudden thanks?

Kresnik: It seems that on this "battlefield," you have the upper hand...I'll be relying on you.

Sandayu: Wahaha, well, depending on the time and situation, I'm good at conforming myself and blending in with the situation.

Kresnik: Is that the same person as you are now? Your tone is a little different now than when we met as enemies.

Sandayu: Hey, you're way too alert, Kresnik Hanteba (Possibly his last name? If not, Hanteba is roughly translated to "half wings")! Aren't you scared too, former public security ace?  Well, it's like a kind of self-suggestion that uses your own undercover identity differently from "Kabukicho Academy's friendly teacher" and others like that.

Kresnik: I guess you're suited to be a teacher. It's different for me...I envy you.

Sandayu: ...Kresnik.

Kresnik: I'm...a little tired of my old bloody life. I thought I'd try a different way of life, even if it's just for a little while. Teaching, guiding, and living together with children of the same race. Unfortunately, I have no talent for that. ...Never mind. I blurted out something strange, forget it.
