But where do I come in? do you want help promoting them? I could get in touch with a few PR agencies

no no no
I need like
legal help

they're trying to rip you off with the contract?

no!
its yoshizumis family
the previous yoshizumi, I mean
they wanna sue me for plagiarism
theyre saying I'm profitting from his hero identity
so the company doesn't wanna start production til I get that sorted out
problem is
I'm not exactly swimming in lawyer money
the sponsorship was supposed to help with that
I dont even know any lawyers I could trust with this

I know a guy.

and thats why i came to u!
rich boy

[Hanashobu Law Offices: Ryosuke Ise]

yuusei
I have to ask u because itd be rude to ask it to his face
that laywers head is a rubiks cube
right?

yeah

so like
is he stuck with the same 6 facial expressions for the rest of his life?
thats depressing

he can change between various sets of 6

thank goodness

anyway You can set a meeting with Yoshizumi's family any day of the week, and I'll show up with Ise but in school days I'm only free 18 pm and beyond

alright

Indeed

No. why was that your first guess?

idk???
ive seen ur pictures with her
she has the aura of a troublemaker ig

well that's rude

Still, I kind of get what you mean? But in reality she's more strait-laced than me

then
tf did u do?

DO I HAVE TO GO THERE AND BEAT SOMEONE UP?!

Kuro, no.

srry
the demons took over

It was unsupervised hero work.

I'm waiting.

is this about what happened a few days ago
when karma stole from your family?

Yes.

Yuusei

Hunt her down? Yeah

THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING
YOU COULDVE DIED DUMBASS

I already gathered that from the half dozen lectures I got

WELL HERES ANOTHER ONE
NEVER DO SOMETHING THAT STUPID AGAIN
FUCK
Why didnt you tell me anythingg

I couldn't think of a good way to bring it up. Honestly? I'd appreciate it if we stopped talking about it now

Yuusei you cant just drop a bomb like that on me and change the subject
at least tell me youre ok

I'm fine

really?

really. I didn't get any serious injuries

I meant mentally
are you well?

I I don't know. I felt... empty? except for all the anger at Karma but chatting with you cheered me up So I guess I'm getting better

Well
I'm glad
if it's a slump then youll get over it fast
you always do

Hah I'm glad you have such faith in me

do not get sappy with me!
I'm still mad at you
as soon as you step on tokyo, you're fucked

... demons talking?

yeah, but we're in agreement on this one
gonna make sure all those lectures you got stick❗

Oh, well. I had a good run. looking forward to seeing you too, Kuro.
