DAYTIME

OST - Becoming Friends, Finding Peace Party

DARK green eyes widened in surprise as the magenta-haired boy's eyes widened, having finally noticed us standing awkwardly in the corridor. Probably having decided that we were likely more normal than his original companions, he continued to walk over, waving.

"Hey there, nice to meet ya," he smiled in relief, "I'm assuming you guys are also Ultimates?"

"Yeah, we are," I agreed goodnaturedly, introducing myself, "My name's Murano. I'm also known as the Ultimate Bounty Hunter."

Ritsuki nodded. "Ritsuki Neikan," she greeted curtly, refusing to say anything else.

"Well, I'm Shion Raniero," he smirked, pointing at himself confidently, "Don't freak out now, but I'm the Ultimate Drug Lord."

"The Ultimate Drug Lord, huh?" I questioned in surprise, "That seems like a pretty dangerous talent to have."

Shion held up his index finger in response. "I could say the same thing about the Ultimate Bounty Hunter," he casually observed.

"Good point."

"If we had met under any other circumstances, we'd probably be enemies," he tilted his head, folding his hands behind it.

I grinned at the comment. "Yes, I couldn't imagine getting along with someone that definitely has a large sum on their head," I held up my hand in a fist, "Still, you seem pretty cool."

"Thanks," the Raniero proceeded to bump his fist against my own.

Curiously, he turned to face Ritsuki. "By the way, I don't think I caught your talent," he raised an eyebrow as he thought about it, scrutinizing the purple-haired girl, "What are you the Ultimate Pilot or something? Then again, that seems like it would be pretty useful..."

Wincing, she held her head in pain as she answered. "Possibly... I don't actually remember..."

It seemed that she didn't have enough time to think up a suitable answer.

"You don't remember your talent?" Shion's eyes widened at the revelation as he folded his arms before him, "That's awfully strange..."

"Hey, are you alright?" I questioned Ritsuki in concern, taking in her sickly expression, "You look a little pale."

She shook her head. "It actually hurts my head when I try to recall," she revealed.

"If you like, I can give you a few painkillers," Shion offered generously, gesturing to a black bag in the corner, "I have some with me right now."

Ritsuki narrowed her eyes. "Pardon me, but I'm not sure if I should be trusting the word of a renowned drug dealer," she replied scathingly, still clutching the side of her forehead.

Surprisingly, the Raniero didn't react to the comment, merely smiling as if he had expected it.

"You know, just because I'm a drug lord, doesn't mean that I only sell illegal drugs," he explained calmly with a patient demeanour, "That's what makes me Ultimate. I also specialise in the legal prescription and distribution of pharmaceuticals. It's a good cover."
