It was a new day for our fighter. Inzagi wakes up, his head all sticky, from sleeping on the counter of the ramen store. The chef of the store chuckles
"You two ought to get up, you wouldn't want people seeing you drooling all over the counter" — The chef said as Inzagi chuckles, waking up Yeno
"5 more minutes..." — Yeno groans and snores
Inzagi smacks Yeno's nape, and laughs. Yeno quickly gets up, all woozy and dizzy. Unaware, he gets up and leaves the shop, walking like a hungover man.
"Thank you for not kicking us out, sir! We swear that we'll definitely be here again, to satisfy our stomachs!" — Inzagi smiled at the chef then left the store, assisting Yeno in walking.
Yeno pushes Inzagi away and kneels down, throwing up the noodles and broth he had eaten and drank, yesterday evening. Inzagi pats Yeno's back, though it seemed to have no effect, as the armor was in the way.
"Hey, Yeno, wouldn't it be nice if you'd take off your armor? You've been wearing that helmet, all day! You must be in immense heat. Come on, take it off, let me see your face, for the first time!" — Inzagi implies, as Yeno dodges Inzagi's approaching hand
"N-No! this armor represents who I am! I am a knight of Yin!" — Yeno burps and continues to walk, going in the direction of the Hospital.
Inzagi looks at Yeno, concerned, but soon shrugging it off and running to Yeno, carrying him up.
"You can rest easy, I won't drop you" — Inzagi smiles, as he lifts Yeno up, walking to the hospital
After a few minutes of walking, the two finally arrive at the hospital, but are stopped by the counter
"Good morning, sir. Is the person you're carrying a patient?" — The counter asked as Inzagi denied by shaking his head
"I'm here to visit Lady Sumiko Shitori, and Grandmaster Ruminasu." — Inzagi replied, as the counter lets both of the fighters in.
Meanwhile, in the room, Ruminasu seems to be listening to the subtle music of the radio, while Sumiko is still deep asleep. Sumiko continues to snore, as Inzagi knocks on the door.
"Good morning, grandmas—" — Inzagi enters, hoping to greet the grandmaster, but gets cut off, from seeing Sumiko sleeping so peacefully.
"Ssshhh, let her rest. Come in, come in." — Ruminasu welcomes them to sit down and rest for a while
"You two must be sleepy, your eyes say so." — Ruminasu chuckles, as Inzagi places Yeno on a separate couch, lying down beside him.
"You three defended the city of Yin, yesterday night, yes?" — Ruminasu asked
"Ah, yes sir, but we got help from Sumiko's guardian, Uranus was it?" — Inzagi replied, Ruminasu nodding
"Yes yes. It feels so great, but so guilting, to have people protect your own legacy that has been destroyed, for decades." — Ruminasu smiles and looks down
"Here, I have to repay you somehow, Inzagi. Here is a map to a secret cave I once owned. It is a cave of armory, take as much equipment as you can, there, once you get the time." — Ruminasu smiles as Inzagi's eyes sparkle, very thankful of the gift
"Oh my... Thank you so much, master Ruminasu... I can finally wear real armor, rather than my homemade leather armor!" — Inzagi, filled with joy bows for Ruminasu as Ruminasu chuckles
"Enjoy them, my child... Your potential must grow. The gods tell me that you will reach the elite rank, eventually. But, for now, you shall embrace yourself, as a junior." — Ruminasu states, as Inzagi nods in agreement, his heart filled with validation.
