• Kaji: Just as I promised ya, and there ya go.
• Nino: Thanks. But...

Nino: Ask Kaji about why he let you go despite what you and the other humans did.

Nino: Still, it's unlikely that he'd risk the townspeople's reactions for one small victory over long term gain... right?

• Nino: You could be thinking of turning us over for big profits while we're distracted!
• Kaji: Oh! Alright! Maybe I'll turn ya over for big profits now.
• Kaji: Is that what ya want me to do?
• Nino: Whoa! Don't you dare!
• Nino: I'm armed and I won't hesitate to defend myself again!
• Kaji: ...So it's not what ya want.
• Kaji: Lemme tell ya somethin', nobody's out there lookin' for y'all to be arrested or anythin'. So if I were to get ya to jail...
• Kaji: I wouldn't get anythin' out of it. Not a single coin.
• Kaji: I'll say, nicer reputation here is a better payoff than nothin' at all.
• Nino: Oh. That would be one less reason to be suspicious...
• Nino: ...If I can even believe your words, that is!
• Kaji: Hahahah! Yer very cautious, eh?
• Kaji: I dunno... is me lettin' ya off here not enough?
• Kaji: Despite the fact that I didn't have to at all?
• Nino: Ummm...
• Kaji: Well, ya don't have to trust me. Yer choice.
• Kaji: And usin' this room or not is also up to ya.
• Kaji: But, y'all have been excused for real.
• Kaji: Nothin' was filed about yer trespassin' yet, and so, nothin' says anythin' about what happened here. Yer names ain't recorded anywhere.
• Kaji: I'm sayin', we're perfectly clear, kid.
• Kaji: So, I don't plan to do anythin'... unless ya cause actual trouble on Icicle Bay.
• Kaji: But I'm way tired of goin' after people for no good reason!
• Kaji: Please don't make me do it again.
• Nino: ...Is the law against crossing the barrier not a good reason for it, though?
• Nino: You said that those were the prince's orders, after all...
• Kaji: If ya ask me, not really.
• Kaji: I don't like absolutes too much.
• Nino: For what reason would a guard choose to break such an important rule?
• Kaji: Heh, right, it's important...
• Kaji: But weren't y'all just tryin' to get back to safety... to yer home?
• Nino: Oh, uh...
• Nino: Yeah! We totally were!
• Kaji: Then that there is why I don't like it.
• Kaji: Not bein' more careful with these things causes trouble for innocents.
• Kaji: It's just like thievin', with your angel friend.
• Kaji: ...I couldn't think all thieves were bad anymore after hearin' her out.
• Kaji: Stealin' ain't right, but that's just the action.
• Kaji: The same goes for crossin' the barrier.
• Kaji: Y'all ain't bad people if yer just lookin' to find home.
• Nino: Oh...
• Kaji: I like it more if there's a better way out for both sides.
• Kaji: Just like makin' an honest worker out of a thief!
• Nino: ...

• Kaji: Besides...
• Kaji: I just gave ya the key to the room.
• Kaji: How the shit am I gonna lock ya in there, dumbass?
• Nino: Y-you could be holding on to a spare!
• Nino: Or you could order the staff to do it using your authority!
• Kaji: What! I ain't that creative or devilish!
• Kaji: Please let me quit chasin' people, I've been at it with Mei for a whole year.
• Nino: Or, or...!
• Nino: You could use your Sea Patrol to outnumber us, now that we're on your homebase!
• Kaji: What the fuck, are ya givin' me these ideas on purpose?
• Nino: Nice try!
• Nino: That's exactly what someone who thought of this WOULD say to look innocent.
• Nino: Try anything and I WILL shove this sword down some orifice.
• Nino: I don't care which, but it'll hurt.
• Kaji: Kid. Get that shit outta my face.
• Kaji: I'm not goin' after ya no matter how much ya try.
• Kaji: And I'm grabbin' a drink if there's nothin' else but this nonsense.

Nino: What if Kaji is just holding you here while he waits for royal soldiers to arrive?

• Nino: Ok, maybe I am being a bit too suspicious.
• Nino: However, you could be... wait.
• Nino: Why did we go to the bar.
• Kaji: Ya followed me here for some reason.
• Nino: ...What? Oh, right.
• Barkeeper: Hi there! No swords in my bar, please!
• Nino: Sorry, I'll put it away.
• Kaji: Atta boy.
• Nino: ...Uh. Hey.
• Nino: Hey, really, you're just going to go drinking now?
• Kaji: Yea. I do that before bed sometimes.
• Kaji: Makes sleepin' easier.
• Kaji: Ya probably shouldn't try this when yer all grown up, though.
• Nino: Wait, AND you're just going to SLEEP after this?
• Kaji: Yea?
• Kaji: It's real late right now.
• Nino: Ho, no way you'd be that careless...
• Nino: Or are you just doing this so that I would let my guard down?
• Nino: Hah. Nice try.
• Nino: I have my eyes on you, pirate.
• Kaji: Then looky here with those eyes.
• Kaji: I couldn't care less what yer thinkin'.
• Kaji: So yer welcome to watch me drink n' sleep if ya want.
• Nino: ...
• Nino: I don't want to...
• Kaji: Then don't, ya dumbass!
• Kaji: My head already hurts, don't make it worse.

Nino: Apologize for what you did to him.

• Nino: ...That's probably because I kicked you in the face.
• Nino: Sorry about that.
• Nino: That's the only thing I'll apologize for.
• Kaji: Well, water under the bridge now.
• Kaji: This is the kinda pain yer meant to just sleep off.
• Nino: Y-you're already over it?
• Nino: You don't... hold a grudge about that?
• Kaji: Do ya want me to?
• Nino: ...No, but...
• Nino: Have you no pride, man?
• Kaji: Sounds like yer the one with too much of it.
• Nino: And you have, like, none at all!
• Nino: I mean, I kicked you in the face, dude!
• Kaji: And I was gonna toss a wave at ya first.
• Nino: ...Right, you were willing to go that far just to stop us.
• Nino: So why would you have let it go so easily?
• Kaji: Cuz... I was desperate there to not fail somethin' again.
• Kaji: But bein' hit back seems like a fair response when I look back on it, hah.
• Nino: ...No way! This is all just a trick, it has to be.
• Kaji: Are ya tryin' to convince me to change my mind about changin' my mind now?
• Nino: Aaah, I'm not falling for it!
• Kaji: Yer funny, kid.

Nino & Kaji: Get wasted.

Nino: Forget that. Instead, ask Kaji about his superiors.

• Nino: Hmm... what would your superiors say if they saw this right now?
• Kaji: My superiors...?
• Nino: Think about how furious they'd be! And what they'd do to your pay!
• Nino: Maybe even to your job!
• Nino: Wouldn't want to lose your precious Sea Patrol, do you?
• Kaji: ...My superiors would be disappointed.
• Kaji: Hey, I can't have that be happenin' now, c'mon.
• Kaji: I already felt bad 'cause I kept failin' at catchin' Mei...
• Kaji: So this here would be a real nightmare if they knew how it happened.
• Nino: ...Oh.
• Nino: Hey, that's one more reason not to dare betray us, then!
• Nino: Otherwise, I'll be sure to tell on you immediately!
• Kaji: Well, not like they'd visit here unless I ask 'em to.
• Kaji: So tough luck, boy.
• Kaji: Nobody gets to betray nobody, lemme sit in peace.
• Nino: ...
• Nino: What kind of people are your superiors...?
• Nino: Really, they didn't even think to send you a little help to deal with Mei?
• Kaji: ...Captain Lune.
• Kaji: Does the name ring a bell to ya?
• Nino: Not really.
• Nino: Am I supposed to know who that is?
• Kaji: Lune Umbra, the head of the royal guards.
• Kaji: I think she coulda caught Mei and all ya rascals at once if she were here.
• Nino: H-huh? An Umbran!?
• Kaji: Mmhmmmm.
• Kaji: Ya really wanna bring someone like that here?
• Nino: ...Not at all. She sounds terrifying.
• Kaji: That's about right!
• Kaji: Yer lucky she wasn't helpin' deal with Mei.
• Kaji: She's a good lady, though. Never meddles in me work if I say no.
• Kaji: And she says she believes in me to do it well all the time.
• Kaji: Feels bad for failin' her a whole lot...
• Kaji: But at least I don't feel totally useless if I got somethin' to do.
• Kaji: ...Like I probably woulda felt if she just did all the work for me.
• Nino: Oh...
• Kaji: But, aw man! Ya know what this means!?
• Kaji: I can finally brag about somethin' if the thievin' problem is done with!
• Kaji: And no human's gonna badmouth me in front of her anymore!
• Kaji: With all these changes...
• Kaji: Maybe this place will finally feel like home!

• Kaji: Cheers, kiddo!
• Nino: C-cheers...?

Nino: Ask him what he meant about you looking like a noble.

• Nino: Uhm...
• Nino: Remember when you said I looked "positively" noble?
• Nino: What was that all about...?
• Kaji: Whut? I don' remember sayin' any o' dat.
• Nino: Uuuh, are you drunk already...
• Nino: Well, whatever. You DID tell me I looked noble.
• Nino: What did you mean by it?
• Nino: I mean, ha, I know that I'm incredibly HANDSOME looking, of course.
• Nino: But what do I even look like... a noble's kid?
• Kaji: Hmmm...?
• Kaji: Oh, yea, ya do.
• Nino: Huh? Really!?
• Kaji: Look at yer clothes.
• Kaji: Reminds me of what they wear in the capital.
• Kaji: Especially yer belts, styled all fancy like that.
• Nino: Then... does that mean I'm really the son of some noble or royal person?
• Kaji: Are ya?
• Kaji: Why ask me, kid, I'm not you.
• Nino: ...Right, right.
• Nino: I don't know... I don't remember.
• Kaji: Huh.
• Kaji: That's rough, buddy.
• Nino: Then, um, how about my sword?
• Nino: Someone told me that it looks like what some royal guards use.
• Kaji: ...That thing does look familiar.
• Kaji: But if yer a guard, ya would've known Captain Lune right away.
• Kaji: She'd be yer boss, after all.
• Nino: Oh...
• Nino: Maybe I did, and I just forgot about her?
• Kaji: Shit, kid, do I look like I know anythin'?
• Kaji: Maybe yer just a kid with a sword tryin' to roleplay a hero for all I care!
• Nino: (W-why does everyone keep saying that lame thing about roleplay!?)

Nino: Give Kaji his stuff back.

• Nino: By the way, uh... here you go.
• Nino: I feel bad for keeping these on me.
• Kaji: ...?
• Kaji: What the fuck.
• Kaji: Why do ya have my shit.
• Nino: ...Sorry! We had to take these so that we could, uh...
• Nino: Um... it's a long story...
• Nino: But Mei's a reformed citizen, and I've fully quit as her temporary accomplice!
• Kaji: Yer testin' me kindness here.
• Nino: I-I promise everything in your room is intact!
• Nino: And I don't even know what the other key's for! I never touched it, so...!
• Kaji: Fine, ya fuckin' kleptomaniac.
• Kaji: Just don't do this kinda thing again, ya hear?
• Nino: Of course, haha...
• Nino: Oh... speaking of kleptomaniacs!
• Nino: I have something else to show you, actually.
• Kaji: ...? What is it?

Nino: Show Kaji the two-sided note.

• Nino: Is this impolite item yours?
• Nino: The more I hear you talk, the more I'm inclined to believe it is.
• Nino: The words on it are definitely something you'd say, so...
• Kaji: ...Whoa! No way!
• Kaji: How's somethin' this old still around!?
• Kaji: Aw, this brings back so many good memories!
• Nino: I found it in the monster world.
• Kaji: Did ya now? That's just where we left it!
• Nino: "We"...?
• Nino: Oh, right!
• Nino: There's writing on the back of the note!

Nino: Ask Kaji about the two-sided note.

• Nino: Is that from another pers...
• Nino: ...

• Kaji: Yea, I remember this! That's my handwritin'!
• Kaji: Heh heh, this is a great find, kid!
• Kaji: Are ya curious to know how somethin' of mine ended up all the way there?
